ii is no part Of them. Then when he Stan
toni was aware that four.fths Of the poo
pie opposed this constitution, did he not do
right in taking the responsibility to call a
meeting of the Legislature. Applause.
He did not complain of being deprived Of an
office which he accepted unwillingly. and
from which he derived no personal advant-
age, but he felt il his duty to defend himself
from the attacks of the highest Executive,
and to appeal to generous public, both
North and South. Applause. The Prs
idcnt also argues in the message that the
people OF Kansas have the right at any time
after their admission TO change the constitu-
ton when they please lie would inquire
whether the sovereign power was no, rs re-
quisite in making Us amending cons,iiu-
ton. lie asked any lawyer, logician or SEN
sible man, whether the premises arc not
wrong, and whether the President has not
been caught in his own trap.
The President SAYS that he has received
no official return Of the vote at the last
election. This may be true, but he (Mr.
Stanton) was present when the votes were
counted by Denver, and they amounted to
10000 against the constitution. lie then
proceeded to question whether Congress has
the right under the constitution 10 force n
constitution upon the people. They only
possessed the power to admit, no more. lie
denied that the Lecompton constitution was
republican in form, as i, expressed only the
viii of the minority. The will Of the ma
jority should prevail, not IN ideal, but in re-
atty. Mr.. Stanton spoke for over two
hours, and traced the whole history of Kan
sas affairs since his connection with the
Territory.
The meeting was held in National Hall,
and was exceedingly enthusiastic. The Re
representatives. in Congress from this State,
with the exception Of Owen Jones, were
groaned, and at the announcement Of the
passage Of the resolution of Mr.. Harris,
there was immense applause. s.ass.s
The applause ut the Democratic senti-
mcnts show that the attendance was mostly
of the party, and the anti.lecomptonitcs rc-
gard the meeting US highly favorable.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Allison has some just and sensible re-
fections on the "amusements Of life,
and we quote them, in part, for the grati-
fica,ion of our readers.
sit were unjust and ungrateful TO con-
ceiYe that the amusements of life are al
together forbidden by its beneficient
Author. They serve, on the contrary,
important purposes in the economy OF
life, and are destined to produce impor-
tant effects both upon our happiness and
character. They are the wells of the
desert, the kind resting places in which
toll may relax, in which The weary spirit
may recover its tone, and where the des-
ponding mind may resume its strength
and It's hopes. They are, in another
view, Of some importance TO the dignity
Of individual character. In everything
we call amusement, there is generally
some display of taste and imagination;
some elevation of the mind from mere
animal indulgence.
"Even in the scenes of relaxation,
therefore, they have tendency 10 pre-
serve the dignity of human character, and
to fill up the vacant and unguarded hours
of life with occupations, innocent al least,
if not virtuous. But their principal effect
perhaps, is upon the social character of
mau. Whenever amusement is sought,
it is in The society Of our brethern; and
whenever it is in our sympathy with the
happiness of those around US. It be-
speaks the disposition of benevolence,
and it creates il. When men assemble,
accordingly, for the purpose of general
happiness or Joy, they exhibit TO the
thoughtful eye one of the most pleasing
appearances Of their original character.
They leave behind them, for time, the
faults Of their station and the asperities Of
their temper, they forget the secret views
and selfish purposes of their ordinary life
and mingle with the crowd around them
with no other view than to receive and
communicate happiness. 1t is spectacle
which is impossible TO observe without
emotion; and while the virtuous man re-
joices al tina, evidence which it affords Of
the benevolent constitution of his nature,
the Pious man is apt to bless the benevo-
lence Of that God who thus makes the
wilderness and the solitary place TO be
glad ead whose wisdom readers even The
hours of amusement subservient to the
cause Of virtue. Ii is not, therefore, the
use Of the innocent amuSements Of life
which is dangerous, but the abuse of
them; it is no; when they are occasional
ly, but. when they are constantly pursued;
when the love of amusement degeneraies
into passion; and when, from being an
occasional Indulgence, it becomes ha-
bitual desire. - Ohio State Journal.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN Re
LIGIOUS MEN AND CHRISTIANS.

At the prayer meeting at Burton's
Theater in New York, on Saturday,
Henry Ward Beecher described the dis
ference between religious men and Chris
tains.
He drew distinction between desive
and choice. The ragged vagabond de-
sires to be iich, but he desises lazinesa
more, and we choose that which we
most desire. If man desires TO be
Christian, and the desire is SO strong
that he is willing TO relinquish every
thing else for this-ambition, business,
pleasure, or whatever the sacrifice re-
quire-there was no reason Nhy he
should not become Christian that in
slant. S
Men who simply desire Christianity,
ale only religious men; they are not
Christians. He believed there we're
thousands OF people ia the churches who
were only religious men and not Chris
tains. They live in fesr-!hey are al
most literally Gods bondsmen; but he
who is Christian, is drawn to it By
something in Christ which he can love
and worship. He often found it neces-
sary, when people from other churches
came to him, to try and turn them out
of religion into Christianity.
