and the author of the resolutions. He re-
membered that gentlemen AZ one of the fore
most in the wild hunt after Office in the
Democratic party fifteen years ago, and his
whig friends would bear witness that there
had been no one more eager or successful in
the s'wild hunt for ofice'' in the whig party
since that time than Ex- Governor johnson.
He thought therefore if there was any sim
ccrity in the sentiment Of the resolution. Ex-
Governor Johnson must be exceedingly dis
gusted with himself, and the members of the
new party OF which he had become member
could not but share in the disgust which he

Swearing n Pence Around N Grave
Yard.
The Okalona News, a Southern paper. pro-
poses to put the swearing power of the peo-
pic OF that town to some good purpose
Here is his proposition, and furnishes some
wholesome rebukcs of a very disgusting as
well as wicked practice:
Our suggestion is that there he organized
in this place an Okalona Cursing Association,
Tor the purpose OF raising funds for some
useful object. The power of profanity which
runs to waste in the streets is enormous
there is enough of it to bore an Artesian we'll
in six months. A single objection, however.
to that appropriation of what might be ap-
propriately called the "God dam - power
of our community is that none of our best
swcarcrs, that we know Of, are experienced
well-borers; and from the present scarcity of
money arises the necessity of embarking in
some enterprise in which the contributions
could be paid in work, like our peoples sub
scription to the railroad. This leads us to
suggest enclosing the grave yard as praise
worthy and practicable object.
Let every member of the association. whcn-
ever he rips out an oath, be obliged to rip out
pailing, and whenever he curses ANYBODY.
let him contribute rail. We are vel aware
that the Bible forbids to s'rendcr railing for
railing" hut we arc satisfied that the njunc-
tion ha. no more application to such cases
as the present than St. Paul's example of re-
storing a fugitive slave has to eases where
the slave has Il black skin. We don't know
the amount OF work requisite to enclose our
cemetery, bat we are satisfied that it is amply
within the means of the proposed association
to accomplish it. There were sixtv-onc votes
polled at the late municipal election.
Some few of our voters do not swear (the
ltev. MIR. A and L.. for instance. ) but
there are usually a number of accomplished
swearers in town not vet entitled to vote.
and many of our boys can hold hand with
any OF their seniors. All things considered,
we think the income Of the association might
be estimated at half dozen railings dav
from fifty regular contributors which would

would supply all the rails, and the Sunday
cursing would be especially set apart as a
post fund. The little bows. the ssCadets of
