Reso'rcd, That we, the delegated
representatives, Of the Republican
electors Of the Unitcd States, in Con.
vcntion assembled in discharge Of the
duty we owe TO our constituents, and
our country, unite ia the following
declaration
|. That the history Of the nation

causes which called it into existence
are permanent III their nature, and
now, more than ever before, demand

WHAT WILL 4 GLASS FULL OF WATER
HoLD 1T is generally thought that
when vessel is full Of water any
solid substance immersed in it will
cause it to overflow, and such will be
the case if the substance, is not solu-
bic in the water; but the philosophic
truth that in disSolving a body, you
DO not increase the volume of the
solvent, may be proved 10y simple
and interesting experiment. Saturatc
a certain quantity OF water, at a mod
crate heat, with three ounces of sugar;
and when it will no longer receive
that, there is room in it for two
ounces Of salt Of tartar, and after that
for an ounce and dram of green Wit
riol, nearly six drams of nitre, the
same quantity of sal amonac or smell
ling salts, two drains and scruple Of
alum and IA dram and half of borax
when all these are dissolved in it,
il will not have increased in volume.

CuriOSitieS of the Census.
REVOLVING DEVELOPMENTS N ONO

There are two families in Butler
township, Ohio-says the Cincinnati
Gazette-which are living evidences
of the truth, that the violation uf nat
ural law brings its own punishment.
One OF these may be mentioned as
the result Of the marriage Of an uncle
and niece. 1t affords the most dis
gusting and terrible example Of per-
son occupying to his own child the
relations Of father and uncle-thc Sis
ter at the same time supplying the
maternal relation. Upon this viola
ton in each instance, of the law of
God and of man, the vengeance of
high heaven has been visited upon
the descendants. There are seven
children living-tour boys and three
girls-evcry one Of whom was born
blind, with imperfect limbs and scro-
fulous bodies.
Connected with this family by mar
riagc, is another residing in the same
ncighborhood, aud consisting of a
man, wife, and three daughters and
one boy. Not one of the children is
perfectly developed, and they are all
scrofulous.
In the same township there is liv
ing man named Joseph Riswalt.
who is retired hermit. He lives III
filth and rags in stable. without
kinsfolk, and boards his money like a
miscr.
Two other singular facts may be
mentioned : Christopher Clopfcr. when
four years of age, was attacked by a
dog, and though not much hurt, was
SO frightened as to become dumb
A young woman has been blind
since eight years Of age, alleged to
be canscd by being overtasked at
schuul.

A PHASE OF PHILADELPHIA LIFE.

The taking of the census in some
of the lower Wards of Philadelphia,
according to the Ledger, exhibits many
strange phases of human life. partic-
ularly in the vicinity of Bedford,
Small, and other streets of like
character. In the space from the
south side Of South-street, to the north
side of Fitzwater, and between
Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, the
population foots up 1000. The hous-
es occupied by them are generally
three-room buildings. and in most Of
them family occupies each room !;
this is particularly the case in one
row, where the proprietor rents them
