nights since. the following resolutions
were passed unanimously
LIST. Rescued. That the further ad.
vance Of abolition doctrines in this u
ty shall be stopped.
81. That no person shall hereafter
discuss ani;-slaycry doctrines, either
publicly or privately.
81. That any person who is known
to favor the cause of the aboIiiionists or
emancipationists shall be notified to keep
their opinions to themselves, or leave the
State by the 1st of November next and
if they refuse TO do this their houses shall
be sacked, and they shall receive a coat
of tar and feathers.
As the Secretary of the meeting, | WAS
directed by the President to SEND a copy

sion Of slavery. If you still persist in
acting as you have done. you must leave

fully aroused TO a sense of the wrongs
they have experienced at the hands Of
the abolition dogs. Lodges are now
forming throughout the enlirc South for
the purpose OF driving out every anti
slavery man or roman. They all, as
they are admitted into The lodge, sgear,
before god and heaven, that they will
no logger submit tamely to the imposi-
lions which have been praciised on their
constitutional rights and privileges, and
that, If necessary. they will fight till they
die before the anti-slavery party shall

there raised and commanded a battalion
of California volunteers, consisting Of
about four hundred men; his services

WONDERFUL Discovery IN ELEcTRI-
CITY. The London Chronicle of March


WONDERFUL Discovery IN ELEcTRI-
CITY. The London Chronicle of March
3lst, says:
"A great experiment attended with the
most satisfactory results, was tried a few
days ago at Vincennes, in the presence
of General Laftte and officers of the fort.
The secret of Comprising and governing
electricity is at length discovered, and
that power may therefore now be consid-
dered as the sole motive power hencefor-
ward to be used. A small mortar was
fred by the inventor at the rate of a hun
dred shots a minute-Without flashing,
smoke or noise. The same power can, it
seems, be adopted to every system of
mechanical invention, and is destined en-
tireIy to supersede steam, requiring nel-
Their machinery nor combustible. A YES
sci propelled by this power is said to
skim the water like a bird, and to fear
neither storm nor hurricane. The inVen-
tor had already petitioned for a line of
steamers from Torrent 10 Norfolk, in the
United States, which passage he promises
to accomplish in eight and forty hours!

The CRADLE AND THE OLD ARM CHAIR

THE CRADLE AND THE L ARM CHAIR,
No house is complete without two pie
ces Of furniture-the cradle and the old
arm chair. No house is full that hath
not in it a babe, and a grandfather and a
grandmother. Life becomes more radiant
and perfect when its two extremes keep
along with it. The two loves which watch
the cradle aud serve the chair are one
But how different in all their openings
and actions. To the child, the heart
turns with more tenderness Of love. To
the aged parent, love is borne upon a
service of revenue Through the child
you look forward--through the parent
you look backward. In the child you
see hope, joys to come, brave ambition,
and a life yet to be drawn forth in its
many sided experiences. Through the
silEer-haired parent, you behold the past,
in its scenes enacted, its histories regula-
ted.
