EsSS The man or woman who does not hagh
over the following anecdote, is only fit to dwell
upon the Mountain of Desolation along whose
cliffs and among whose crags the joyous voice
of Mirth was never heard:
ENTHUSIASM IN SUNDAY ScHooL.-The fol-
lowing acknowledged good yarn is copied from
New Hampshire paper.
few years SINCE some roguish boys in a
small town not a thousand miles from the capi-
tai of New Hampshire, persuaded Joseph ",
or as he was generally called, "Joe,r to attend
Sunday School. Joe was an overgrown, half
wtted, profane lad, and the boys anticipated
considerable fun out of him; but the answers to
the various questions propounded, were given so
readily and correctly, that no one could for a
moment suppose that he was not fully versed in
theological lore.
Joe was duly ushered in and placed on a set
tee in front of the one on which his friends were
seated, and the recitation commenced.
The teacher first questioned the class on their
regular lesson, and afterward, turned to Joe
"My friend" said the teacher. "Who made
the world we iuhabit2"
"Eh?" said Joe, turning up his eyes like an
expiring calf.
" Who made the world we inhabit2"
Just as he was probably about to give the an

pin into his Joe's) pants, about nine inches be-
low the ornamental button on his coat. "God
Almighty" answered Joe, in an elevated tone
at the same time rising quickly from his seat.
That is correct" replied the teacher, Z" but
1 it is not necessary that you should rise in an
swering; sitting posture is just as we'll"
Joe was seated, and the catechism proceeded
Who died TO save the world p
! The pin was again inserted, and Joe replied
"Jesus Christ" in still louder voice, rising as
before from his seat.
| That is also correct, but do not manifest Sc
much feeling; do be more composed and more
reserved in your manner" said the teacher in
an expostulating tone.
After Joe had calmed down, the examination
went on.
What will be the final doom of all wicked
men ~ was the subject now for consideration
and as the pin stuck in,' Joe thundered
out, with a higher elevation of lis body, shell
/ and damnasion."
"My young friend said the instructor, " you
give the true answers to all these questions; but
while you are here, we wish you to be more mild
/ in your words. Do endeavor, If you can, to re.
strain your enthusiasm and give less extended
scope to your feelings

PADDY AND THE TURTLE I'm New York man
was carrying live turtle along the street when
by came an Irishman, followed by large dog.
The countryman tried by gentle words to get the
son of Emerald toput his finger into the tur-
ties mouth, but he was too smart for that.
" But" said he,- I'll put my dogs tail in and
see what the baste will do"
He Immediately called up his dog, took its
tail in his hand, and stuck it in the turtles
mouth. He had scarcely got it in when Mr..
Turtle shut down on the poor dogs tail, and off
the latter ram at railroad speed, pulling the tur-
tie after it at a more rapid rate than it ever
travelled before The countryman, thinking
that his days work would be thrown away il
the animal should run at that rate, turned with
savage look upon the Irishman, and exclaim-

Paddy put his hands into his pockets threw
his head to one side, winked, and then answer

Hon. JouS CoyoDE.-This gentleman has
recently made speech in Congress on the
Kansas question, which we have no hesitation
in declaring to be one of the clearest and
most practical we have read upon the sutje
One feature of the speech is thus referred TO
by the Philadelphia North american:
ssIn comprehensive view of the subject,
while illustrating the mistaken policy which
actuated the South. Mr.. Covode introduced
point not mooted before, that has vast deal
of force in its direct application. He said the
South, by combination with northern allies
might be able, through its free trade system,
to crush down the manufacturing interest and
to PROSTATE partially the industrial prosperity
of the existing free States but the Reaction
"onld be TO their permanent injury, and final
ly, to the complete loss of political power.
For if manufactures were closed, and the
busy hum of labor silenced in the mills, fur
naccs and mines, the immediate effect would
be TO swell the emigration westward, and peo-
pie the unOccupied Territories, and to build
up new States, which in their turn, would
control the government, and perhaps return
the poisoned chalice to the lips of those who
had employed it for their own interested pur-
poses. There is no escape from this conc!u-
sion, and the serious consideration of southern
statesmen who, in their rash zeal to preserve
that equilibrium which was the fantasy that
afflicted Mr.. Calhoun's brain like a nightmare,
in his latter days, have not considered they
were precipitating the very doom against
which all their schemes and exertions have
been and are still aimed.''

PosIrIoS OF LEcoNPToN IN CONGREss.-In
our last paper we stated that the House had
decided to adhere TO its position, but that an
effort would be made to have a committee of
conference appointed. On Tuesday, the Sen
ate, by vote of so to "a, insisted upon hav-
ing such committee granted. This, after
all their brow beating, sounds strange on the
part of the majority in the Senate. While
they hoped that majority of the House could
be bought or bullicd into an Endorsement of
the Presidents Kansas policy, they haughtily
repslled the idea of conciliation and confer
ence. When their bill back from the
House amended Mr.. Green wished it rejected
without word, which was accordingly done.
If the Senate really desired conference. then
was the time to have asked for it. But, no
doubt, they thought TO coerce the House into
measures. In this they were mistaken, and
now this same Mr.. Green makes the motion
to insist on 4 conference, which was carried,
after some debate as TO whether the Senate
should ask for, or insist upon it. On Wednes-
day the subject was brought up in the House.
On Mr.. Montgomery calling for the previous
question on his motion that the House insist
on its adherence to its amendment, the vote
stood yeas los, nays l07, whereupon the Speak
er voted Nay, which made tie, and declared
the motion lost. The House then agreed to
grant the committee, 10y vote of los TO 10S.
the Speaker giving the casting vote. Every
Republican, with six Americans from the slave
States, and all but four of the anti-Lecompton
Democrats, opposed the measure. The four
who voted with the Lecomptonites for con-
ference are Messrs. English of Indiana, Hall
and Pendleton of Ohio, and Owen Jones OF
Pennsylvania. These men profess to have
voted for a conference for reasons of parlia-
mentary courtesy, and not from any change OF
opinion to Lecompton. PendIeton and
Jones give solemn assurances that they will
not abate their opposition TO it, or surrender
an iota. Doubts are entertained about Eng
lish and Hall. The faithful anti-Lecomptor
Democrats still express full confidence in tn,
final result. The probable result of the con.
ference will be disagreement.
The committee consist of Green, Hunter and
Seward, on the part OF the Senate, and OF
English, Stephens and Howard on the part OF
the House.
\ final meeting of the committee was to
have been held on Monday.

THE BANISHMEST OF CALHoUS.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
writes that John Calhoun, the Dictator of Kan
sas under the Lecompton Constitution, who is
also in the employ of the General Government
as surveyor general of Kansas and Nebraska,
and who for reasons palpable even to the most
unthinking men does not enjoy an undue share
of popularity in Kansas, wishes TO return to
the field of his Federal duties, but is unwilling
totrust himself to the tender mercies of an
outraged people. Therefore the Commissioner
of the General Land Office announces ssby the
order of the President ssthat the office of
the suryeyor-general of Kansas and Nebraska
VIII be removed from Lecompton, in Kansas,
TO Nebraska city, in Nebraska Territory, al
as early period a, practiccbIe.''

The Joint Committee Of Conference appoin-
ted by the two Houses to consider their grounds
OF disagreement respecting the Admission Of
Kansas, and report some practicable plan for
harmonizing them, met yesterday at Washing
ton, but did not organize, wing to the absence
Of Mr.. Stephens to be caused by illness.
Another attempt will be made to-day.
1t is important that the Country should un-
derstand the real, vital difference to be har-
monized. What the House demands is not
that this or that Constitution shall be recog-
nized by Congress, nor that it shall contain
this or that provision, nor that this or that
proposition shall not be contained IN ii but
it d.es insist that it shall be the Constitution
of Kansas, fairly recognized and adopted as
such by her People. Whether negroes shall
or shall not be slaves, or voters, or neither
slaves nor voters, the House RENTS entirely
to the decision of the People of kanSas--part
of the Members requiring this on principle,
and part because they know that the decision
of the People of Kansas cannot fail to be
RIGHT. Whether the Lccompton, the Lea
venworth, or some still uniformed instrument,
is the Constitution required by and satisfactory
to Kansas, this side leaves to be determined
by fair and authentic vote of that People
themselves. In short, Free Soil and genuine
Squatter Sovereignty, finding their interests
at least for this occasion identical, have Joined
teams to require that no Constitution shall be
imposed on Kansas 1chich shall not hare first
been ratified and sanctioned by her People,
| That is the House position, and the whole of it.
The Senate has thus far insisted that Kan
sas should come into the Union Under the Lee
compton Constitution, and none but that 1t
has based its action on the technical regularity
and legality of that instrument-its conformi-
ty TO precedents-on the legal presumption
that it was the true Constitution of Kansas
though never submitted to nor ratified by her
People, but, on the contrary, most emphati-
cally voted down by them at the only election
in which they were permitted to vote against
it. The arguments on this side are all the
special pleadings of lawyers, accustomed to
ingenious endcavOrs to prove black white, or
at least very light gray, and intended to
show that Kansas must swallow the Lecomp-
ton instrument even if she proceed to throw
it up the next minute-which some of them
believe she may, others that she may not do
There are some who say that Mr.. English
has got up thiSConferenceO OH purpose to betray
the House and the principle of Popular Sow
ercignty into the hands of that principles
implacable adVersaries. We say nothing like
this, for we know nothing of Mr.. Els feelings
Or purposes. We do know, however, that,
with Messrs. Seward and Howard on the Com
mittee. the cause of Free Kansas cannot be
betrayed except under circumstances and with
explanations that shall make the whole truth
plain to the great body of the American Peo-
ple.-N. Y. Tribune Of .4PriI II.

NEW JUDICIAL DIsTRIcr.-Not long since
the lower branch OF our State Legislature
passed a bill to erect new Judicial District
out of the counties of Clearfield, Elk, Forest
and Jefferson, TO be called the eth district.
y few days since this bill came up in the Sen
ate, when Mr.. CresswelI, who is now in our
Senatorial district, moved that the same be
referred to a select committee, which was a.
greed TO, and that committee have reported
bill for the new district, embracing in it. how
ever, clause dissolving the Bradford district
and legislating Judge WiImot ont Of Office.
This will, doubtless, prove fatal TO the passage
OF the bill, and Mr.. Cresswell must have
known it, for We Will not believe it till we see
1t, that a majority of our State Senators will so
far disgrace themselves as to cut up Mr.. Will
mot's district as proposed in the bill-an act
that would be unsenerous in politician and
beneath the dignity of gentleman We are
at loss to account for Mr.. CressweIl's course,
when he is well aware that large majority of
the people, as well as the members Of the le-
gal profession, in the proposed district are in
favor of its formation.

CoSsIsTENcY.-A few years since, when the
Americans had majority in our Legislature,
the pay of members was fixed at $500 for the
session. The Democratic papers made a tre-
mendous outcry about robbing the State, &c.
The present Legislature is largely Democratic.
Yet we see both Houses have voted to add
5000 to the pay of members this session, and
to increase the compensation hereafter to 500
per annum. This is reform with a vengeance.
Whilst labOrng men everywhere are ont of
employment, pinched for means to support
their wives and little ones, the whole country
suffering from a severe financial revulsion, our
Democratic Legislature cooly vote themselves
$500 extra pay, thus taking at one grab thou
sands of dollars of the hard earned money
which the people pay in taxes. And where is
the Democratic paper that utters a single
word against their action2
