"Wednesday last, resolutions were offered,
expressing admiration at the conduct of Pass

tribu;ions thns made For himself, he never
had one cent, although engaged for nineteen

gestions. They comprise xolume in a nut

We must make the fdmily government, the

enee, n powerful sermon in reference to the
outrageous proceedings Of Judge Kase, in
the case of Passmore Williamson. Old JEFF

The Courant man doubtless heard the
Sermon" and the above may be presumed
to be the cream oft. When the pulpit belches
forth SANDER and billingsgate instead Of the
Gospel. no wonder that the churches Ian

and the worst of them, instead of the Bible,
no wonder that Satan grins satisfaction, and
angels weep. But thanks TO God all pull

GLORIOUS REsULT.-Boone County, the

no longer so. Now, Montgomery, the "old
wheel horse" Tippecanoe, Clrroll, Clinton,

ties for Democracy. The eyes Of the PEOPLE
are opened to the reasonable efforts of Know
Nothings and Aboltionists, to build up a
sectional party in the North, which aims al a
dissolution of the American Union. Sam

wanting" The honest masses have taken
the "sober second thought" and put their
feet upon the unholy, wicked, oath bound

declared. in tones of thunder, IN favor Of the
patriotic sentiment, "No North, no South, no
East no West''-"Our country, our whole
country, and nothing but our country.-
