Of the Republic.
Resolved. That the prohibition of slavery il

il he permitted TO extend over such Territories.
Resolved, That slavery in the slave States de-
pend solely upon State laws tor its existence. and
that Congress has no power to modify, cha n ge
or repeal such laws. and is not responsible there
for. We are therefore opposed to all interference
with slavery in the slave States.
Resolved, That the speedy construction Of a
National Railroad, by the most central and eligi-
bic route connecting the Atlantic States with
California, is demanded by the military, postal
and commercial necessities of the Republic; and
we recognize the power of Congress, under the
Constitution, to appropriate money as well as
land to aid In building this great work.

Going to Heaven by the Way Of New
Orleans.

Tho Philadelphia correspondent Of the
New York Sunday Dispatch, gives the fol-
lowing rather tough anecdote:
We have Methodist preacher here who
s jolly wag. A few days since young
man, who had long been attached TO his
church, and who was about to leave fo New
Orleans, came to bid bM pastor farewell
''And so You are going to that degenerate
place New Orleans, are you}'
"Yes Sil; but don't expect to be influenced
by any eXtlenuous pressure OF any kind,
responded the young man, with considerable
earncstness.
"Well am glad to see you 50 confident.
hope the Lord will guide ou. But do you
know the temptations which exist therei"
"Not particularly, sir"
"Well. Go. You'll find wanton women
in the suse of peris, tempting the very elect;
and rare wines and ard mt drinks; and you'll
find gay company and night hrawling, and
gambling and dissipation, and running after
the lusts Of tho old man Adam
"Still, sir, hope to combat these success
fully"
81 hope you will, my dear Christian bro
ther," was the reply, Il hope YOU will. And
let me give you this much for your consola.
lation. in case YOU should fall from gra"e:
the temptor ia worse than the sin, and the
greater the temptation the more merit there
is in resisting it. The man who goes TO
Hea-en bv the wav Of New Orleans is sure
to have twice as high place in eternal glory
as he who reaches Paradise through tho
quit portals OF Connecticut or Pennsylvania"
A DIscovERY.-Sauntering out into the
woods the other day for the purpose of rec
reation, we suddenly hove in sight Of
pair of headed, match-b box looking urch-
ins, one sitting in the fork Of a saplin,
tho other chasing lizards some hundred
yards distant Hiding ourself to watch their
manpuvers, presently the one on terra firma
bounced upon a stump like tom tit, and
jerking off his hat, opened in this
style:
~ say, Jim-oopee, jim! rrn here
quickern saltpeter, bora4 and cream o tar
ters!"
"Well, yes, what is itl' yelled the sap
ling frog, at tho SINE time hitting the

Here's head.redded scoripin swollerin'

rockercoaches EASTERN eet, and a snack
blake rootin' grole in the hound with his
hind feet. and tud murkle chawin' pad
right and left, and-oh; lordy! oopee! dog
on it, run here."
Here the matchbox ignited and tumbled
off the stump while we gathered up and
strolled on, we'll tickled the balance Of
the evening.
