THURSDAY AT TOWAD COUNTY

every first day of the week, called the LORDS
Day, people shall abstain from their common
toll and labor, that whether masters, parents,
children, or servants, they may the better dis
pose themselves to read the scriptures of truth
at home, or to frequent such meetings of reli-
gous worship abroad, as may best suit their
respective persuasions." Hazards Annals,
1909, 1882.
Since the abrogation of the Sunday laws
would be absolutely oppressive to large mass
of laboring people, who tend directly to the
increase Of vice, would be contrary to the
known convictions of the patriot worthless of
the past and in contravention of all previous
legislation, would be repugnant to the moral
sensbilities of the great mass Of the best citi-
zens throughout the State, and directly in con-
fct with the statutes of Revelation therefore
we submit that the prayer of the petitioners
should not be granted, and accordingly be it
Resolusd, That The abrogation of tee exist
ing Sunday laws would be unwise in itself, and
vicious in its results, and the Committee are
hereby discharged from the further considera-
tion of The subject

INGENUITY OF BIRDs.-Tnrushes feed very
much On snails, looking for them in messy
banks. Having frequently observed some
broken snail-shells near two projecting pebbles
on gravel walk, which had hollow between
them, endeavored to discover the occasion
of their being brought 10 that situation At
least | saw thrush fly to the spot with q
snail-sheIl 10 his mouth, which he placed between
the two stones and hammered at it with his
beak till be had broken il, and was then able
to feed on its contents. The bird must have
discovered that he could not apply bis beak
sufficient force to break the shell when it was
rolling about, and he, therefore, found out and
made use of a spot which would keep the she'll
in one position Whe the lapwing wants to
procure food, it seeks for worms nest, and
stamps the ground by the side of it with its
feet somewhat in the same manner as / have
often done when boy, in order to procure
worms for fishing. After doing this for short
time, the bird waits for this issue of the worm
from its hole, who alarmed at the shaking of

A COOP LAw.-The bill, requiring 0verseers
Of the Poor and Supervisors OF Roads 70 give
security, passed both branches Of the Legisla-
ture, received the sanction OF the Governor,
and is EoS law. 1t was introduced by Mr..
WagenseIler, 10 whose earnest and perseveriRg
efforts the people are mainly indebted for rs
passage. Under the old system thousands Of
dollars were annually loStto the public, by the
election Of incompetent irresponsible and dishoc-

With these facts before them, can any cor

thing calculated to bring their own State
down to the deplorable condition of slave.
ridden Virginia, or to even augment those
evils in that State
That the influx of blacks into Pennsylvania
may be to certain extent an evil to ourselves
We are not prepared to deny but that to ap-
ply the remedy proposed would be just or hu-
name to those unfortunate people, that it
would be honorable or creditabe to ourselves
and in keeping with the preeepts of our faith
ers, or that it would eventuate in anything but
evil, we cannot believe A way may be open
ed in time to render system of colonization
available. The great wilderness regions OF
Central America may at some day not far dis
tant become the homes of the blacks of this
nation. The climate and soil are peculiarly
adapted to such people, and they would m
doubtedly be willing to emigrate thither when
the propitious time arrives But that day will
be when those who hold them in bondage shall
do them Justice, and assist in preparing the
way for their exodus. The great work muss
necessarily deVolve on the South, and upon
the general government. 1t is impossible for
the North to act, except by moral influence
to that end. Had the slave States spent one
half the life and treasure in preparing such
home for that people that they have spent in
enslaying and brutalizing them, the work would
long since have been accomplished, aud every
State in the South would to-day have been far
richer in all the elements Of greatness, happi-
ness and power.
Thus believing, your Committee respectfully
offer the following resolution
Resolred, That TO grant the prayers Of your
petitioners would be inexpedient, impolitic aud
unjust.

WESTERN UTAH.

Governor Roop, the new Governor Of Western Utah,
the proposed Territory Of Nevada, issued proclamation
on the 18th Of December, In which he comments pretty
severely upon the "curse Of Mormon legsation treats
Of the subject Of their proposed territorial separation from
Utah. and gives his why he thinks such separa
ton impolitic q this juncturs BE says
At The time VIC were compelled TO assemble, in our
sovereign capacity, TO endeavor 70 rid ourselves Of the
The0cratc rule Of Aorm0ntsm had protection for

gress for relief against the unjust and illegal attempts of
MormOns 70 force upon laws and customs obnoxious TO
every American We had courts, county organiza
TONS those controlled by the sworn satellites Of the
Salt Lake olgarchy Our political rights were entirely at
the will OF certain clique, composed Of those who
opposed TO the first principle Of consuton-the free
dom Of the ballot box.
Under these circumstances we endeavored to relieve
ourselves from these impoeons and believing that pro-
visiona Territorial government would best pro-
ton 10 life, limb and property, held our election and
made all necessary arrangements for the formation of
temporary government, until Congress should give US
justice and protection. L
Now, therefore, Isaac Roop Governor Of the provi-
sonal Territorial government OF Nevada Territory be-
eving to be the wish Of the people still TO rely upon the
sense Of justice Of Congress- and that will this session
relieve us from the numerous evils to which have
been subjected do proclaim the session Of The Legislature
adjourned until the first Monday OF July $780, and call
upon all good citizens TO support with all their energies,
the laws and government OF the United States.
