Gov. Walkers Resignation.


Gov. Walkers letter of resignation,
addressed to Secretary Cass, is published
this morning. 1t is very long argu
mentative document, possessing through.
out a courteous, but decided Tone
He says that there was clear under
standing between the administration and
himself, that the entire Constitution
should be Submitted to the people, that
such should be the case was sanctioned
by the President. Under the circum.
stances then he argues, inasmuch as he
could not 90 back to Kansas without
fresh instructions, committing him to q
new policy which he had reprobated and
condemned, the only alternative left hin
was to resign.
He discusses at great length the CUES
ton Of popular sovereignty, esteemine
that the Constitution of the L. 5. is not
sovereign, for it was created by States
each exercising for itself that highest pc
litical power called sovereignty, for tho
same reason the government Of the I
S. is not sovereign, nor does it exercise
any sovereign powers.
Itexercises only delegated powers, as
declared by the Constitution, and those
powers only which are granted by that
instrument-we know no sovereigns but
the people. The conventions are com
posed of delegates. They are mere a
gents or trustees, exercising not SOW.
ereign, but delegated power and the
people are the principals.
The power delegated to such conyen
tons can properly only extend to fra
ming the constitution, but its ratification
or rejection can only be performed b!
the power where sovereignty only rests
viz the people themselves. shall now
be pleased to express to the Preslden
my deep regret as regards our unfortu
nate difference Of opinion in relation tc
the Lecompton constitution, and say t.
him that as infallibility does not belong
to man however exalted in intellect, pu
itty of intention, or position, yet if b.
has committed any errors in this respec
may they be overruled by superinten
ding Providence, for the perpetuity o
our Union and the advancement OF thu
honor and interest OF our beloved coun
try. In now disolving my official connec
ton with your department. beg leave to
tender you my thanks for your constant
courtesy and kindness.

1.-The GRASSHoPPER SHALL BE A BUR
From letter written by the well
known Mrs. Swisshelm, to the Pittsburg
Journal, and dated at st. Cloud, Stearns
county, Minnesota, Nov. goth, we ex-
tract an account of the grasshopper
plague oflast season. Mrs. S. says:
When l arrived here, in June, there
was a panic about the ravages of the
grasshopper. They had come the pre-
vious autumn, in the night,i like a shower
of hail. People heard them rafting on
the roof and sides of their houses, and
woke up in the morning to find every
thing covered with these reapers. The
crops then growing were destroyed In
a few hours, and these insects after eat
ing everything eatable, deposited their
eggs and died. Last spring the young
brood appeared and Recommended
the work of destruction, and when |
came they were still busy. 1t was then
tho't that not bushel of any kind OF
food would be raised in this vicinity, and
for the want of means of communication
it was impossible to tell how far these
EdNd1tS eAIcuueu. vi course. lucle W us
great anxiety; but corn and potatoes up
here are hard to kill Eaten down to
the surface of the ground, they sent up
new shoots; more vigorous than the first
and persisted in growing than their
enemies could eat, until early in July
the pests took flight, and for two weeks
the sun was more or less obscured every
day by clouds ofgrasshoppers flying be
for the wind; and looking with their out
spread silver wings, as one looked tho
them sun-ward, like an April snow storm
Two days in particular while the night
was thickest the sunlight had the strange
uncertain look it wears during partial
eclipse.
Their shadows had not left when our
friends, the corn and potatoes showed
dissatisfaction bycommencing growth
that no one has seen equalled, who has
not grown these vegetables in such a sol
under such long days of the same un-
clouded sunlight.

SOME of our readers may remember
few paragraphs that appeared in this
column within the passing month, about
a child at Monmouth, who might have
been a cheruf, had he not been that
better thing, glorious boy.
A young body shrined an adult soul,
and we should have feared, had we
thought of it, that it would prove too
strong for its garrison, and go free.
This morning we received letter, of
which the burden ran thus:
MONMOUTH, Dec. 18th, 1857.
Our dear little Howard of whom you
were pleased to write, Is dead.
Out of December into Heaven And
it was for this, perhaps, that Winter kept
his heart open; to take the 10y lovingly
into his bosom. No parting ofthe drifted
snow; no struggle with the frozen
earth; but the sun shons pleasantly, and
the wind came with soft sigh from the
south. Leaves yet chung to the trees,
and the grass showed green along the
summer water-courses.
1t is no small thing, we think, to have
a child in Paradise. And so calmly
the little fellow went unshrinkingly
into the shadow, out of the sun, and
folded his hands and fell asleep.
He died in the morning, just as the
day and the heart were breaking, and
so became an eternal child, truant
from time, from tears and from sin.
" Be still, sad heart, ard cease repining
Behind the cloud is the sun still shining;
IhY fate is the fate of all
Into each life some rain must fall
Some days must be dark and dreary."
Dickens tells of little girl that died,
one Of two that had bloomed into being
twin buds together.
The years went by, and the dead was
not forgotten, bat hand in hand with the
living sister, was held in the same clasp
of love.
The twain kept pace; as the one bios
somed into maturer beauty, so did the
other side by side they shared. Times
dewy gifts, the living and the dead
when the thought of the one, it was that
she was so old; when they looked upon
the other, they saw sweet resemblance
Thus the mother and the girls passed
down the years, and never parted com
pany.
There is indeed q strange delight ii
the thought of two, a world apart, thus
moving parallel; one on the dusty earth
and one in Paradise Regained.
No Wondering past in such death
it is not death, but only walking on th'
rivers other side; the other side, where
as the German said, We sometimes SEE
the soft blue smoke of cottage homes
where wait the dear ones who went OF
before.
The little grave contains the chrysali
and the boy shall not wander far from
home, these many years. If they plan
a rose-tree by his pillow, June shall GOV
er it with beauty. Let those buds b.
precious, for the bloom the roses bear
perhaps was stolen from the cheek the.
loved to press, and SO the child will lin
er in disguise, and the flying summe
bear to and fro, his breath upon its gold
en- wing.

BULLYING THE DEyIL.- Persons OF
nervous temperament are apt to offer, as
it were, their diseased minds to the in.
fuence Of Imagination. These might
profit by practising the courage over
self,once evinced by animaginative High
Bailit' of West Minister. As this official
was, on one occasion, in bed, with his
arm extended to extinguish the lighted
candle ON the table by the bedside, ne
beheld Satan himself seated in the ehair
near the table, gazing at him with :" all
his eyes" The nervous dignitary was
terribly startled, but he was a courageous
man, and choosing to think himself con-
stitutionally sound with nedisease about
him over which imagination should hay e
the mastery, he quietly turned on his cl-
bow and looking steadfastly at the father
of Sin, he quietly remarked,-" I'll tell
you what it is, if you have nothing to do
but to sit there staring,I have something
better to do than lie and look at you.--
I'm going to sleep" And Herewith he
put out the light, and conscious of vie
tory over imagination, slept like a con-
queror, and was never again troubled by
by shadowy visitations.--Lo London Athe,,-

Home-Made Chips.

Whoever takes little child into his
love, may have very roomy heart, but
that child will fill it all.
The children that are in the world
keep us from growing old and cold; they
cling to our garments with their little
hands, and impede our progress to pet
rifaction; they win US back with their
pleading eyes, from cruel care; they ney-
err cucumber us at all.
A poor, old couple with no one to love
and to love them, is most pitlable pie
ture; but howell with small face to fill
broken pane, here and there, as the
stranger goes by, is robbed of half its
desolateness.
We have heard somewhere a sneering
statement, that Povertyis prolific; for our
part, we are glad of it. The poor Irish
woman, who had pig and COW, and a
hut full of children, and not a penny to
her name, took the right view of the
matter, when she replied to one wonder
ing at her attachment for the little Nor
abs and Patricks: why, bless your hon.
or, I've nothing else to love-
Indeed, we are more than half inclined
to think that we all of us do about as
much good in the world, before we are
seven years old, as we ecer do, and GER
tainlv great deal less evil.
A little child is a profitable possession
and when we hear of anybody's giving
away one, we marvel how, as he cannot
get along with it, he can ever hope to
prosper without it. 1t is very much like
bird that should dispense with wing
fancying that it costs more to carry it,
than it is worth.
Children are the most powerful allies
humanity can enlist;we call them hopes
sometimes, with half laugh, but we
may give them better name, and be too
happy about it to laugh we nay call
them hope makers, for such indeed they
are.
We are so constructed, that we do not
love those most who help US, but those
whom we help. All, many prodigal,
who would have been in the cornfield to
this day, were it not SO, has been well
coined home with feast of fat veal.
A house full Of children composes as
powerful a group of motives as ever
moved heart or hand; and the secret
Of many gallant struggle and triumph
in the worlds battles, may be found
throned in its mothers lap, at home, or
done up in little bundle of white fan
mel. A nations hope, before now, has
been found in basket of bulrushes.
Get ready to be afraid of the man that
children are afraid of and be sure that
he who hates them, is not himself worth
loving.
When the last child is born and grown
Christmas may be struck from the cal
endar without being missed or mourned.
Blessings upon the little children, for
of such as they are, is the kingdom of
Heaven!
