DEAR EDIToR:-We have had some
excellent sugar weather, and if you
will ride out some afternoon you may
esop" your bread in some excellent mo-
lasses. Our friends, the Methodists,
have had some "big meetings" at the
Grove this winter, and the Presbyteri-
ans and Baptists have also had good
time. / don't know how many have
Joined, but a good many have protested
to be better than formerly. l reckon
this is all right if they would live up to
their profession. But trying times are
coming, and fear for some of the new
converts as well as for some old ones.
l don't profess to be much of a chris
tian myself, but love to see good con-
sistent folks. l want to know of you,
or some other preacher, whether a man
can vote for drunkard and still be q
christian. Now, wicked as | am con-
fess 1 can't do any such thing If /
were christian I might possibly see
otherwise. Can man vote to put n
drunkard in Office, knowing him to be
such2 Can a man honestly get down on
his knees, or stand up either, and ask
God to Danish sin and crime from the
land? Can he ask God to bless the
State, when he himself has voted for a
swearing, drinking BLACKBOARD to rule
the State? Sinner as / am, would be
afraid God would curse me with such a
prayer on my lips if l were to assist in
the election of such man. But let me
ask you another question. Is slavery
rigbt2 You will answer "no." God
says "no." "Gocd men say it is the sum
of all yiIlanies" Well, can good man
voto for "a person who will at all favor
slavery? Common sense answers, "no.
Now / am afraid that some Of the con
verts / have spoken of will lose their
religion by voting for such drunkards
as Turpie, Cunningham and others on
the old line State ticket. confess thai
| cannot possibly see how any man car
be christian and vote for any such
slave loving, whisky drinking sots
have not the least idea that any on,
who does, can over get to heaven unless
he reponts in dust and ashes, and get'
Gods forgiveness. l don't believe IL
falling from grace, but If | were |
member of the church / would leave il
as duty, If had to vote for such men
No man can love God and vote TO curse
our land, degrade our State, insult Jc
hovah and exalt unrighteousncss us th'
man will do who votes for drunkar'
to rulo or help rule our State ! wisl
some Of you preachers would tell you
members what God says on this sub
ject, and if they can then so choke tbei
conscience MS to support that ticket, tel
them thot IL il Fearful thing TO ial
into the hands of the living God, wh'
will not wink Mt such course.

Stephen A. Douglas has recently do.
lvored q speech in tho Senate Of tho
United States, which for oloqucnco and

one word was said about his pct doctrine
of Squatter Sovereignty, but In lieu
thereof he made furious onslaught on
the Black Republicans, charging the
leaders Of that party with the Harpcr's

In this speech Of the artiul Illinois Sen
ator, no tries TO conciliato tho South, by
covering up his worsc than Wilmot Pro-
vso trucks, but tho South will not take

A. Douglas has lost his prestige with

gain our confidence but by repudiating

mulgatod, with so much ability and as
siduity, and by long continued course

The speech Of Mr.. Ii. Winter Davis,
to-day in reply to the resolution of con-
sure passed by tho Maryland Lcgisla.
turc, was the great feature of the pro-
ceedngs. Tho speaker arraigncd and
put on trial the whole Legislature, and
having convicted them oil OF being mag.
niicont fools, actuated by sinister mo-
tivcs, he proceeded to defend his vote
for Mr.. Pennington, and said his course
met with tho hearty approval Of every
man in Maryland whose good opinion
was desirable. Tho members crowded
around him, aud every man, save one,
listened TO his vindication with deep
interest. Ills fire upon the members OF
the Legislature was CALLING and ho paid

The State Convention.

The Mass Delegate Convention which
assembled at indianapolis on tho 22d
Of this month, was the largest and most
enthusiastic ever held at tho Capital.
II was soon ascertainod that no build

delegates in attendance, when they ad-
journed to the spacious grounds that
surround tho Capitol, filing it up with
n mass Of upturned faces, anxious TO
witness and participate in the inaugur-
alton of campaign which is to mark
an epoch in tho history Of our country.

Congressional Convention.

We are advised that tho delegates
from the Fourth Congressional District
to the late State Convention at Indi-
annapolis agreed upon the first Wcdncs-
day after the Chicago Convention, to
hold Mass Meeting of the opponents
to tho disunion Democracy, at Green's
burg, TO nominate and present suita-
BILE candidate for Congress. The time,
and place meets our cordial approval,
when we hope to meet in Mass Convcn-
ton all shades of the opposition, to in
augurate canvass that will redeem
this State and district, from the rulo OF
men who countcnance and cooperate
with open advocates Of dissolution OF
the Union. We know no compromise
with traitors and treason, and our mot
to is the union Of tho Opposition for the
safety Of tho Union.

The House passed the bill for pay
ment of the invalid and other pensions,
and the bill for the support of tho Mil

Mr.. CoDkling asked, but failed to OBJ

lumbia, and whether if any, and if so,

On motion of Mr. Fcnton, a resolu-
ton was adopted, calling On the Secre-
tary of the Interior to report to the

Mr.. Gurley said that these resolutions
are an innovation on former practice -
The Committee proposes not only TO
