HYMN TO THE PEOPLE.
BY C. D. STUART.

Not 10 be blest with warrior strength.
To WELD the sword and wear the glaiye,
Or rise to coDqueror's fame 81 length,
Proclsims the COED or makes the brave.
To have the power 70 bide tine scorn,
And rise above the hate ard strife
Ofthose 10 wealth and title born.
Is the crown'd courage OF our life.
What are the swords that prop a king
The banners in his army's van
To strength of soul, that dares TO spring,
And show the monarch in the man
Kings and the nigh test men Of arms,
Strong as The heads Of realms they bide,
Sport as they may with fOrluge's charms,
They are like leaves upon the tide.
In dim of old sepulchres they lie,
The feast of silence and decay,
While the true world heart beaIeIh high,
And thrones itself upon to-day.
Give me the man whose hands have tossed
The cOrn-seed to the me low soil,
Whose feet the forest depths have crossed,
Whose brow is nobly crown'd with toll

ground that if he did so it would cut off his
amendment.
Mr.. MAYNARD, of Tennessee desired to offer
an amendment providing that the act should
not take effect until it shall be ascertained by
a census that the population equal or exceed
the ratio of representation required for member
of Congress, and submitting TO the people the
question of citizen suffrage or "alen suf'
frage." Should majority be for citizen
suffrage" &C., and there be the requisite popula
ton. as soon as the President is informed Of
these facts he shall announce the same by proc
lamation, and, without further proceedings, the
admission of Oregon shall be complete.
Mr. Grow declined to yield for that purpose
at This pine. He then proceeded to reply to
the remarks of Mr.. Stephens. In conclusion he
offered the following amendment
Be IL further enacted, That so much of an
act entitled An act for the admission of the
State of Kansas into the Union" approved the
4th day of May, A. d. 1853, as provides that

by census duly and legally taken, that the
population OF said Territory equals or exceeds
the ratio OF representation required for 6 mem
Der of the House of Representatives of the Con-
gress of the United States" be and the same is
hereby repealed.
Mr.. Bingham, of Ohio, gave notice that he
should offer an amendment in relation to the
boundaries Of the proposed State.
Mr.. Hughes, Of Indiana, advocated the ad-
mission of Oregon. He thought that it deserved
to be ranked among the States of the Union,
and this House would have either the high
privilege Of adding another star to our national
escutcheon, or the heavy responsibility OF re-
fnsing to Territory every way competent for

Resolutions Of 'he Fugitive Law Meeting in
The meeting at Empire Hall, Oct IL, 1850,
being organised, was opened BY prayer BY Rev.
DIT. Perry, Of The Episcopal church, was a.
dressed by Dr. Aiken, DR.. Perry, Judge r.
Hitchcock, Charles Stetson, Esq, aud Joel
Tiffany. The resolutions reported by the com.
mittee on which II. " Wilson is stated to
have been placed were not fully cOnOurred in by
him aud g. A. Benedict as stated by Mr.. b. in
the Herald Of the 10th inst that is, Ito the full
extent of the resolutions, |" and again he htbinhs
that neither Mr.. Wilson nor himself went with
the committee into the meeting, or in fact acted
with the committee after ascertainine the nature
Of the resolutions the majority was disposed TO
report to said meeting Again, "Willson was
glad to see the Wings rent in twain" Mr. b.
has established one fact in this statement at
least that II. v. Willson.was political hypo-
crite. "But all is fair in politics" Perhaps
Reuben Hitchcock might shed some light as to
why Willsoh was placed on the committee. But
the resolutions were passed unanimously and
enthusiastically by the meeting
Rev. DIR. Aiken in the early part OF his re-
marks, having doubtless read the fugitive law,
as it was published in the city papers Sept 2sth,
nearly two weeks before, declared that 'the op-
preston Of the colonies from Great Britain at the
revolution were to the denominations Of this fu-
gitiye law only as mint iuleps are to pouring
melted lead down mans throat" It may be
the Rev DR. bad not examined it by the Con-
stitution and that this outburst Of the heart,
this indignation, Che most scathing that could
be uttered, was a little fast Still the blood
hounds faint not We would fain hope that
this alluson may work no coldness between the
pastor and his distinguished parishoner.
G. Stetson, ESQ., in his address stated that
holding the office of U. s. Commissioner he had
already endorsed on the Commission his resig-
nation, and the paper was then packed up ready
for transmission to the Circuit Court at Colum
bus whence it emanated He declared he would
not act under such a law. TGreat applause. i
It had been only twenty-three days since the
passage Of the law when he made this declara-
ton.
J. A. Briggs, Esq, offered the resolution "that
in case any fugitive slave should be captured in
this city the alarm be given by cries in the
streets, and the ringing of bells" Passed with
enthusiasm We stand corrected IL another
gentleman did not offer a reward of ten dollars
to the person who should ring the first alarm
bell. As the offer was without Limitation Of
time it must be considered still out Bell ring
ers will take note
Now, why should citizens in the towns of Lo.

who dwell in northern Ohol That amiable,

The Keystone is tOlerably old as well as

the annual sessions of the General Assembly
by this time bad done up about all the neces-

seem, the business of law making still flourishes
with pristine vigor, and the session of the lie.
gislature just closed has beat any of its 'illus-
triOus predecessors" in the number of its bills
and enactments. The session lasted only one
hundred days, being the shortest for several
years, and yet the House file contained over
1900 bills and the Senate over SO0l More
than 1900 bills were passed, which is 700 more
than last year and 800 more than in any pre-
vious session.
The great mass oflegislation was of mere To-
cal interest, and not single bill of general in

the bills Of public Importance, including the
