Manner of Preaching.

There is an incident stated of Rev.
Samuel Willard, one Of the early
ministers OF tho Old South in Bos-
ton, so much to our purpose, that the
recital of it may not be out Of place.
Mr.. Willard possessed an agreeable
delivery and harmonious voice, and.
as a natural consequence, WAS gem
orally admired.
His -in-law, the minister of
Eastman, occasionally preached for
HIM, whose sermons were excellent,
Int much injured by the badness Of
hls manner. Having preached on
one occasion one of his best disco ur.
ses to the congregation Of his father.
in.law, in his usual unhappy man
nor, it excited great dissatisfaction.
Several persons waited on Mr.. Viii.
lard and begged the gentleman might
not be invited into the pulpit again.
To this request Mr.. Willard made
no reply; but desired his son-in-law
to lend him the discourse. which be-
ing left with him he delivered it
without alteration to his people a
few weeks after. Tho hearers were
delighted and requested a copy for
the press. See the difference" said
they, "between yourself and your
son-in.law. You have preached n
sermon on the samo text which he
did, but his was intolerable, and
yours was excellent.

We were passing through wood

his eyes, uttering deep groan, as

ordered 70 be printed the AntiLecompton resolu-
tions Of cur Legislature. Mr. Wilson introduced a
bill, authorizing the Secretary of War to extend a
telegraphic line westward, in order to facilitate
communication with the Utah army. Mr.. Gwin
proposed to take up the Pacific Railroad bill,
but after discussion, on the suggestion OF
Mr.. Bright withdrew his proposition. The
Minresota bill was then read second time.
The question was raised touching the number Of
Representatives to which the new State was
entiRed. Pending decision, the Senate went into
Executive Session, in which the nomination of Col.
4. Johnston, as Breadier General, was confirmed A
! large number OF petitions aud resolutions were
preserted and several bills were reported. The
House Volunteer bill was reported back from the

We trust there will be no mistake as to her testi-
mony, so that even those who can't tell III the case
of Kansas, whether Ten thousand votes are or are
not more than Six Thousand, will understand this.
We could wish that the late Speech of Senator Crit

Of LecomptOn were read by Cor to- every elector
and that each we're thereupon to go to the polls
and vote. If the contrast between Aeneucky

else, did not insure Five Thousand Msjority for
the anti-LecomptOn ticket, We should be Obliged to
"Llow" that We had overrated the efficacy OF
Truth and Justice when weighed in the balance
against Sophstry and Falsehood.
Let every true son of Connecticut, who is . lesa

The M,c- Orleans Bee Of the 10th inst. speaks as
follows of the recent efforts in Louisiana TO open
the slave trade:
1.-THE bill authorizing the Importation into Louisiana Of TWEEN
10 opposion rejected in the Sus at the close OF
violent sni exciting debate, by majority OF two
1t has been very earnestly denied By the Slavery
organs in this quarter, that any movement of this
sort has been seriously attempted. Ineeed the
previous statements of The Nec Orleans Delta on
tbs subject have been boldly declared to be a
hoax. The preceding statement of The Bee shows
not only the truth of the allegation, but that tho
friends of the measure came very near succeeding
at the very fist suggestion of the project. 1t is,
as We showed the other day, question
between the Southern and Northern slave
States, in which the former are on the
side of opening the trade. If any body doubts
that the African slave trade will be reOpened when
ever a reasonable degree of unanimity can be OBJ
tanned at the South in its favor, he neglecS the
lessons of experience And those who may affect
to doubt that the measure would be cordially sup
ported by the Northern doughfaces, do not yet fully
Understand the entire devotion of that worthy and
patriotic class of gentlemen to the interests of their
mnsters.

The Journal Of Commerce says that should the
House Of Representatives concur with tho Senate
in approving the Lecomptou Constitution, tho peo-
pie of Kansas if they don't Exc that instrument can
then amend It at pleasure. We should Ike to un-
derstsnd from The Journal whether, in its opinion
the people Of any State can change their Constitu-
tiors at pleasure! For instance, can a majority Of
the people Of New York upset the Constitution Of
the State when they please and as they please Or
ale they bound to observe the methods and formal.
ties which the CO institution itself provides for such
changer Or to state the question differently, can
8 majority Of the people of the United States, if
they happen not 10 HE its Constitution, amend it
at pleasure Suppose this majority should be Ab-
olitonists, can they change the Constitution at
pleasure so that Slavery shall not legally exist any
where And will there be nothing revolutionary
or dangerous in annulling at the pleasure Of this
shortly al the barriers and safeguards which the
authors of the Constitution provided in it against
sudden and passionate changes Such would seem
to be Tx constitutional doctrine which The Journal
sets up in regard to Kansas If il is true there, il
must be true everywhere. The people of Kansas
have no higher political rights than the people in
other communities. If their constitutional re-
strictons are not binding on them neither the
Constitution of New-York nor the Constitution Of
the United States is binding on its subjects mo-
uent after It is the pleasure of the majority to
alter it, Is that the truth Let Us bear
