SPEECH OF HON. JAMES 1. DAWSON.

The speech OF this gentleman, upon taking the
chair president OF the late democratic State con
venton Of Pennsylvania, which viii be found in our
columns this morning. is bold and manly produc-
nent which pervades the democracy Of Pennsylya.
MIA IN relation TO the administration. Coming as il
does, from the State which decides the great ma
tional contests of the present dsyfrom the rresi.
dents own Stste--from the State which gives the
largest democratic vote--it deserves the attention
of the Union. Let the North read il expires.
sion of true national feeling let the South read it
as evidence that Pennsylvania is true over TO
the faith that has made her the Keystone Of the
Arch, and as ever in her affection for the il.
lustrious citizen whom she has given to the nation
for a Chief Magistrate.

THE ADMISSION or KANSAS.

Senator Green announced yesterday in the Senate
that the friends of the bill for the admission Of Kan
State would insist upon vote thereon ON
Monday next The discussion in that body will
doubtless continue during the present week without
interruption, giving full opportunity for every
senator who may yet desire 10 express his views on
this subject to do With occasional intervals tho
discussion may be said 10 have occupied already the
three months of the session now expired. The coul,
try demands that this matter shall be disposed Of
that il shall be settled aud that Congress- shall then
proceed to the consideration Of the other business
claiming its attention. Upon the passage Of the bin
early next week by the Senate, the OF interest
will be transferred TO the House of Representatives
Although not formally before that body, very large
proportion of its members have already spoken upon
the subject 1t viii not therefore be necessary to
prolons the debate to any great length and we anti
cipate that the bill will be pressed to final vote
without any unnecessary delay. That it will pass
we have no doubt. Parliamentary tactics may de-
lay but cannot defeat that result. We are rapidly
approaching the end Of ihe Kansas controversy.

Mr. GREEN stated that Monday next the friends
OF the bill would insist upon coming to direct vote
upon it,

said upon the other sde and by the senator from South
Carolina in particular, Mr. HAxMoND which demanded

Mr.. which designated the laboring classes OF the
North as slaves equally with the colored at the
South
Mr.. D. then took up the question of the admission of
Kansas and argued that the Topeka constitution

conclusion of his remarks,

Hints 10 NGhGCCO CheWers.

Is it not a surprising thing, that, whilst
living in 4 Christian land, where the Cos
pei is preached every Sabbath, and the
truth shines brighter every day, men can
not or rather DO not abandon the use OF
Tobacco during church service? Is ii not
astonishing that we have to see the pcws
spattcrcd and polluted with Tobacco spit
"a thing which is entirely unnecessary,
and horrible to look at? The practice is
mean enough, ont of doors, but far worse
in the house Men would shudder at the
idea of going into ncighbor's parlor, and
splitting and chewing in this way, pile up
their quids, and then leave as they do the
church. Aud is not the house Of God a
more sacred place Do you not 60 there
to worship? Is it not called the courts
Of the Lords house? We are told that
we shall enter his courts with thanksgiving
and his gates with praise. Is it not an
abomination in the sight Of the Lord to
chew and spit in his temple? Think, ,also,
Of those who clean and scrub, whose duty
it is to keep things in order and who are
obliged to carry out such terrible filth,
when it can be so easily avoided. We do
hope that the time is not far distant when
men aud boys will consider and endeavor
10 quit this habit. SEXTON

This should be busy month to the
farmer Manures, if not already carted
out were likely to be wanted, should bo
attended to- Place your manure il con-
ycnient sized heaps, at proper distances
apart, and cover the tops Of the heaps
slightly with charcoal dust, Pulverulent
muck or peat, or a slight coating ef Plas-
ter of Paris. Ethes Of these will pre-
vent, in par; at least, the ammonia escap-
ing with the first warm day. Prepare
ground early as possible, and spread M
more manure at the time than can bo
plowcd in within few hours. If you
cannot obtain any Of the above named ar
,icles to cover the manure heaps, until re-
quircd for use, throw few sAoyels full Of
soil over each heap.
If fences are no! in good order, SEQ

sected in the beginning Of this article, and
thus stop the greater wastes arising from
warmer weather. If you have any ma.
nure more than viii be wanted for spring
use, make it into compost with muck,

than lose the more valuable paris Of its

THE RIGHT WAY-It is known that
the managing officers of the American
Sunday School Union recently found that
they had lost several thousands of dollars
by man in whose hands they had prac-
tically placed the whole management Of
the concern, although they were really the
responsible parties. 1t is gratifying to
know that these men have measureably
rcmcdied this gross neglect of duty, by
making up, in special subscriptions from
themselves and their friends, all the
amount lost. If Bank Directors would
act on the same manly and honest princi-
pla, ,thSro would he moro eonidoneo among
men and the poor and less informed would
suffer much less than they do.
