There are some habits which we can never
wholly annihilate, after we have once formed
them. TIE use of Impure language is one OF
these habits. 1t may be subdued and siumter
for years ill its existence is almost forgotten,
and then in the delirium Of fever it may burst
forth, to the aslonishment of all who listen.-
Many a devoted christian in the deliriuln of a
sick ted, Las shocked his friends by the use OF
profane and indecent language, which could
only be explained by the fact that he lad been
familiar with such language in early life. In
reading the memoir OF DR.. Grant, the mission
airy of the HISTORIANS, was struck with the
fact relating to his last illness. For seventeen
days previous to his death, he was in delir-
iuln; but says his biographer, though speak
ing almost constantly OIL many topics, in three
different Ian uages-,hat is English, Turkish,
and Syriac-he did not utter single word he
would have been ashamed Of afterwards. His
associates listened to the disclosures Of his Sc
cret heart, and wondered that nothing appear
ed they would wish to conceal" 4e. ..3g

A Committee of five consisting OF Messrs.
Owens, Marshall, MOBILES, Pierce and Thorn
dyke We're appointed to draft resolutions ex-
prcsSive of the sense of the meeting.
In the absence of the Committee, speeches

lowing resolutions, which on motion of ]. p.
Owens, were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The Republican Party has achieved
great triumph in the election of one of it's
most fearless opponents, Nathaiel p. Banks, of
Mass, to the Office of Speaker of the National,
House of Representatives. Therefore.
Resolved, That the Republicans of Minnesota
congratulate the country upon this signal triumph
of our principles in the popular branch of the
National Legislature.
Resolved, That we regard this as the first con-
greSsonal evidence of a return to the Republican
principles embraced in the Jeliers oman ordinance
Of 100.
Resolved, That the union of the national DEM
ocras. so called. with the National Americans
called, clearly cxhoneratcs the Republican
party from any charge of connection with pro-
scriptive Know Nothingism.
Resolved. That the united support of the fac
tons alluded to in the foregoing reSo, utOnS Civ
Ell TO disunionist and the largest slave owner
in Congress, clearly shows the strong sympathy
of the Administration Slavery Extension Party
with the intolerant and p"oscriptivc Know Moth
ing Party.
Resolved. That we endorse the sentiments en-
bodied III the resolutions offered by the Hon. \.
Van Worries and voted for by the Republican

Railroad Riot--Thc Cars :he OHIO and MissIssip-

Yesterday afternoon, as the cars on the above
road were nearing Lawrenceburg, Ind, from this
city they were prevented from proceeding by Il
crowd of infuriated laborers and mechanics, who
swore TINT no more traffic should be done upon
the road until the arears due them were IL
qaidatei. Expostulation appeared to inHame
them, for they declared they would tear up the
track and demolish the cars, if the engineer at
tempted to proceed, when, finding it useless to
contend with an overpowerng force, the word
was given, and passengers, baggage, and freight
returned to this city. 1t is said that the men
have been suffering severely in consequence of
their paw being withheld; many of them with
their wives and children, during the late severe
weather, having been compelled to find shelter in
barns and out-houses.- Cincinnati Times, JQa.
