when based on the principles Of right
eousness, and guided by an impartial
regard for the interests of all who are
to be affected by it, is legitimate or law-
fill and calls for the united support of
every friend of humanity and religion,
for it then rests upon the authority OF
God, and has His sanction.
8. Resolved That human legislation,
to promote private selfish ends, in oppo-
sition to the principles Of Righteousness,
to give to the rich and the powerful un-
due advantage over the poor and de-
fenceless, is not lar, but organized ty-
ranny, and can bind the conscience only
to use all just and proper means to resist
and overthrow it.
4. Resolped, That to claim for hui
man legislation as such, without regard
to its moral character, the sanction OF
Gods authority, is to abrogate Gods
law, and release men from obligation TO
obey him; it is 20 give 10 despo:s and
organized plunderers, full license to prey
upon their fellow men.
s., Resolred, That no genuine lover
Of tar and order, no true friend Of
Freedom, can consider himself free
while called upon by human legislation
or judicial decisions, to infringe on any
right of the humblest individual.
6. Resoived, That the legislation oil
the Congress of these United States, for
the rendition of fugitive slaves, and all
legislation for the protection of slavery
based as it is, upon selfish, immoral
corrupting principles, cannot have the
sanctity of lar, and can bind no con-
science that owes allegiance to the King
of Heaven.
Z. Resolved, That we deeply sym
pathise with the friends of freedom in
Racine and Milwaukee, in their recent
and prospective struggles against organ
lied tyranny, and we pledge them our
support and CO operation in all lawful
means to make their struggle successful
8. Resolved, That we regard the at
tempt now being made in the Congress
of this nation, to give free access to sla
very, throughout the National domain
as apostacy from the Declaration of In
dependence. and from the great princi
pies of our Constitution.
The following additional resolution.
were then offered and passed:
Resolved, That we deem it expedien
to form County League, for the de
fence Of Personal Hberty,-and that {
committee of three be appointed to pre-
pare and submit rules for the govern
lnent of such League, at an adjourned
meeting.
On motion, Messrs. Tenney, Brand
and Denstnore, were appointed for that
purpose.
Resolyed. That we do now adjourn
to meet at the same place, on Tuesday
the 9th day of May, at 10 4. NJ, anC
that We solicit general attendance o
all the people of Kenosha county who
can attend. and who wish to renda

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS.

.t By ,. NJ. BOOTH.
Twilight stealing DER the mountains,
DER the valleys, hills and plains,
Miucling with the spray of fountains
Bursting from their liquid veins;
Der the prairie, mead and river,
Der the woodland, heath and glade,
Fitting onward swiftly, ever
Flies before the evening shade;
And the sun, which, brightly shining,
Gilded all the earth with light,
Leaves it, in the west declining,
To the rayleSS realms Of Night.
But the dawning Morrow chases
Back the shadows of the Night,
And the rising Sun embraces
All within its cheering light:
For the promise faileth never
lie ordainS and makes it sure
Day succeeds the darkness ever,
While the SUI and Moon endure.
Tho the faint penumbra, creeping
Der good and honest name,
Of n darkling rumor sweeping.
On the wings of common fame,
To deeper shadow groweth,
While the venomcd tongue is rife,
And the breath of scandcl bloweth
Ont the very lamp of life.
No good name will ever perish,
No true soul shall lose its trust,
For the good will ever cherish
The remembrance of the just.
Lights and shadows ever blending
Mark the path of human feet,
Shadows cease but at the ending
When the light of Heaven VIC meet,
Joys and sorrows mirgle ever
In the cup of human bliss,
JOYS unmingled we can never
Know, in such world rs this.

Sea-wrack his shroud and bed, rock his

To seek home in the untroddcn West,
But ere his footsteps mark'd Columbia's

His ardent spirit fed He sank to rest,
Round his sick couch no loving parents

Cold hearted strangers frame his lowly bier,
How needful then, affections tender hand,

New MorrvE PowER--A correspoE-
dent of the Syracuse Standard, writing
from Rochester, speaks Of the discovery
of new motive power, which is to dis
pense with the present mode Of steam
propulsion. and is great improvement
upon all former discoveries. He says:
at consists in the use of bi-sulphate
of carbon as motive power. An en-
gine has been constructed which works
like a charm. The expansive force of
this material, as every chemist knows
is many times greater than steam, while
at The same time it requires a much less
degree of heat to yaporize it will
give You the result of an experiment
with miniature steam engine. 1t re-
quires the constant use of eight spirit
lamps to generate steam enough from
water to cause it to make one hundred
and fifty revolutions per minute. With
draw two Of the lamps, and keep them
away twenty minutes, then apply the BIZ
sulphste Of carbon, and there WAS heat
enough remaining to propel the engine
at the rate of one thousand times min
ute. And this will apply on a large
scale just as well. This substance being
so easily evaporated, heat from twenty
to hundred and sixty degrees is found
sufficient for all purposes. Hence there
is no danger of explosion as with steam.
1t is confidently believed that this new
motive power is destined to supersede
the use of steam. The inventor has APP
piled for letters patent"

Cur Harbor.

Our Citizens are beginning to feel
more encouraged in the hope Of sue
cessful completion of our HARDER. The
Report of Lieut.. Gamble has shown that
by the expenditure of only eight Mou-
sand dollars, safe, commodious, and
convenient Harbor, of sufficient capacity
to accommodate any craft floating the
waters of the Lakes, can be secured.
The City has raised the present year,
the half of this amount; and there is, ly-
ing in the hands of the officers, in ma
terials and cash, between six and seven
thousand of the fund appropriated by the
General Government, for this work.
If this fund could be used, as it was
designed to be, for the benefit of our
Harbor, the work could all be completed
the present season; and the long look
cd for but continually deferred, consum
nation be obtained.
But it is the fate of Government APP
preparations, that they are too often Of
no use, but to fill the peck cts of Govern
ment Agents. They are expended too
often, so as 10 do no good, for the object
designed. And the fear is, that this
money will either be withheld SO long
as to be used up in fees, or to revert back
on account Of ncn-application, or, equal
ly bad, to be so expended as to be en-
tirely useless. An earnest effort will be
made to avert either of these results, in
this instance; and all will be done BY
those interest 4 in the welfare of our CT
ty, that can be, to induce the appropria-
ton of the Government fund meliate-
ly, and in conjunction with the City fund,
upon the basis suggested by Lieut.. Gam
bic.
If this result can be accomplished, a
work will be secured, in the completion
of our Harbor, second to none on the
Lake, in proportionable Importance.
Indeed, Lieut. Gamble says, that the
natural facilities for Harbor at this
place, are superior to those Of any point
or Lake Michigan. And any onewho
will give the subject careful examina-
ton, cannot fail to see that our natural
advantages are indeed great. The Riv-
or here has, as it were, two mouths, form
ing an Island next the Lake, of half
mile long, and quarter of mile wide,
in its widest point, and the water along
behind the island is sixteen feet deep
Our Harbor piers arc made at the south
mouth or entrance. An expenditure of
$4,000 would make good harborat the
north mouth. And then this Harbor
would be superior to any on the Lake.
This possibly may excite smile from
some of the outside lookers-on, who are
witnessing our struggles to finish even
one entrance.
Butthe time is coming when the whole
work will be done; and when the Har-
Dor facilities Of this place will be all that
is now conceived they may be.
The Chicago Harbor is now taxed to
its utmost capacity. Vessels cannot now
60 in or out without suffering more or
less damage from collision. Ownerswill
have to look elsew here for harbor accom-
modations; and this point will of neces-
sity be brought into requisition.
The time is certainly coming, when a
good first rate harbor will be built here
It can be done; and the wants of the
country will soon demand that it be done.
