aJle compensatlOhs to slave owners for the full

Mrs. Lucy Stone, Of Orange, N. j., has refus-
ell to pay her taxes, on the ground that, as a wo-
man, she is debarred from all participation in
government affairs. She takes her stand upon the
American doctrine, that taxation withcutirepresent-
alton is unjust. The collector has laid an attach
ment upon some articles of household furniture
which will be sold at public auction a few days

taxing women and yet denying them the right of

The Rev, VIM. II. Furness, Pastor of the Uni
tartan Society in Philadelphia, celebrated the
thirty'tbird anniversary of his settlement on Sun
day last. lie delivered n very impressive dis.
course on the occasion. A friend who was pres
ent writes "lIe told them of his mental conflict
when his duty TO the slave first opened to his con-
science; how he shrunk from the cross, and how,
when 1t was fairly taken up, his strength was re,
newed and his soul enlarged. 1t was a beautiful
an l sublime testimony for the truth."-Ib.
DANcINo.-The Alabama Methodist Protestant
Annual Conference has adopted the following
resolution;
THAT any parents or guardians belonging to
our church, who shall patronize that school OF
sin, the dancing school. by sending their children
or wards. shall be subject to trial and reproof,
suspension or expulsion, as the case may de
mand.
If this Conference should resolve to suspend or
expell all members of their church who dishOnor
the cause of Christ by refusing to obey his COM
mand, Whatsoever ye would that men should do
unto you, do ye even so unto them, " it might be
considered an incendidry doctrine. Persons un-
acquainted with the circumstances might suppose
that dancing is q more heinous offence that
slavehClding.
IT is FOUND that the Minnesota Constitution
sent to Congress is not the one signed by the
entire Convention and ratified by the people, but
the one adopted in the minority Democratic seq

and before the segment united. 1t is signed by
only the Democrats of the body, who numbered
less than a majority of the delegates elected.
There is little substantial difference in the TWO
instruments.
This palpab!e and astounding fraud evidently
has two objects-frst, to ignore altogether the
Republican majority in the Convention, and sec
ond, to involve the Minnesota case in irreguiarlty,
so as to furnish an excuse to hold it back until its
admission can be made the price of the admission
of Kansas.
The indications are that the Republicans will
insist upon the production Of the true document
ere they will vote for the omission Of Minnesota.

MEDAL To COMMODORE PAULDING.-Senator
Doolittle, Of Wisconsin, has hit the nail on the
head in proposing the presentation of a medal to
Commodore Paulding by Congress, as a token of
its appreciation of his pure and patriotic mo-
tives" and conduct in breaking up the p~iratical
expedition of VIM. Walker. His resolution
comes up to the spirit Of the occasion.
MoDEsT.-The work of issuing the new Treas
ury notes was confined by Congress to the Presi-
dent of the United States and the Secretary of
