tai rights, the liberty of conscience and of
the press cannot be Cancelled, abridged, re-

Virginia Resolutions.
BY JAMES MADISON.

!. Resolved, That the General Assembly
of Virginia doth unequivocally express firm
resolution to maintain the Constitution of the
United States, and the Constitution Of this
State, against every aggression, either foreign
or domestic, and that sney will support the
Government of the United States in oil tho
measures warranted by the former.
2. The General Assembly solemnly de-
clares walm attachment to the Union of the
States, to maintain which it pledges all its
powers; and that, for this end, it is the duty
to watch over and oppose every infraction Of
those principles which consulate the only
basis Of that Union, because faithful observ-
ance of them alone can secure its existence
and the public happiness.
3. That this Assembly does xeplicitly
declare, that it views the powers OF the
Federal Government, as resulting from the
compact to which tho States are parties, as
limited by the plain sense and inteation Of
of the instrument constituting that compact
as no further valid than they are authorized
by the grants enumerated in that compact;
and that in case of deliberate palpable and
dangerous exercise of other powers not gran
ted BY the said compact, the States who are
parties thereto, have the right and are in du.
ty bound, to interpose, for arresting the pro-
gross of tho evil, and tor maintaining within
their respective limits, the authorities, rights
and liberties appertsining to them
4. That the General Assembly doth also
express it's deep regret, that o spirit has in
sundry instances, been manifested by the
Federal Government, to enlarge it's powers
by forced construction of the constitutional
charter which dofnes them: and that in
dications have appeared of design to ex-
pound certain general phrases (which having
been copied from the very limited grant Of
power in the former articles of confederation,
were the less liable to be misoc cnstrued, SO as
to destroy the meaning and effect Of the par
6cular enumeration which necessarily ex-
plains. and limits the general phrases, and 60
az to consolidate the States by degrees into
one sovereignty, the obvious tendency, and
inevitable result of which would be to trans
form tho present Republican system Of thu
United States into an absolute, or at best,
mixed monarchy.

Look Before You Kick.

A minister in one of our orthordox
churches while on his way to preach
funeral sermon in the country, called
to see one of his members, an old wild
ow lady who lived near the road he was
travelling. The old lady had just been
making some sausages. and she felt
proud Of them, they were so plump,
round and sweet. OF course, she in
sisted on the minister taking some Of
the links home to his family. He OBJ
jected, on account Of not having his
portmanteau along. This was over
ruled, and the old lady, wrapping
them in a rag, carefully placed bun
die in each pocket Of the preachers Ca
pacious coat. Thus equipped, he
started for the funeral.
While attending to the solemn cere-
monies of the grave, some hungry dogs
scented the sausages, and were not
long in tracking them to the good mans
overcoat. OF course this was great
annoyance, and no was several times
under the necessity Of kicking these
whelps away. The obsequies Of tho
grave completed, minister and people
repaired to the church where the funsr-
al discourse was to be preached.
After the sermon was finished, the
minister halted to make some remarks
to his congregation, when a brother,
who wished to have an appointment
given out, ascended the pulpit steps
and gave the minister's coat hitch to
get his attention. The divine think
ing it a dog having design upon his
pocket, raised his foot, gave sudden
kick, and sent the good brother spraw-
ling full length Oh the hoor.
You will excuse me brethren and
sisters!' said the minister confusedly,
and without looking at the work he had
done, for I could not avoid it. ! have

The Ohio Statesman shows up the double
dealing of the Cincinnati Enquirer in respect
to the leasing of the canals Copying one of
the EnquTers paragraphs, it comes back at
it as follows:
TN reply to the above, we have to say
that the B quirer did not coniue itself last
session, TO the mere proposition tn lease the
canals but it urged upon the Legislature
the absolute necessity of accepting the di-
rect bid of Nugen, Miller & Robinson. No.
thing else was satisfactory to that paper.
The proposition Of Nugen, Miller & Robin.
son was TO take the whole of the canals,
good, bad or worse, and the Maumee Road,
and pay $4,000 per year for them all. The
proposition Of Everett, Meduery & Co. is the
same, except as TO the sum TO be paid per
sDDUm. In assailiug the proposition of this
session, and c~Ondemning the members of the
General Assembly for voting for il, the En-
guirer is guilty of the grossest Inconsistency
and duplicity."

United States s~ennte-Extra Session.
WASHINGTON, March %.

AehANNAONf DaANA AOs
Mr.. Trumbull offered a resolution, declar-
ing that in the opinion Of the Senate the
true way to preserve the Union is to enforce
the laws of the Union that resistance to
their enforcement, whether under the name
of anti-coercion or any other name, is dis
union; and that it is the duty of the Presi-
dent to use all the means in his power to
bold and protect the public property of the
United States, and TO enforce the laws
thereof as well in the States of South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida,
Louisiana and Texas, as within the other
States of the Union.
Mr.. Trumbull said he offered the resolu-
ton as expressive of the views he enter
tanned. He desired to have it printed, and
would be glad if he could have q vote on it.
Mr.. Bright-"All on this side of the Cham
Der will be glad to have a vote now"
Mr.. Sumner moved to proceed to the con-
sideration of Executive business.
The Senate went into executive session.
On opening the doors Messrs. Baker and
Bright were appointed a committee to wait
on the President and inform him that the
Senate was ready to adjourn.
Several Executive messages were re-
ceived.
The Senate again went into executive
session. Subsequently a resolution involv-
ing $4,000 or $4,000 for the purchase of the
annals of Congress and Register of Debates,
was discussed and postponed until December.
The President having no further commu-
nications to make, the Senate, at four o'clock,
adjourned sine die.

We need not say to readers SC intelligent
as those of the Pass must necessarily be
that the story about United States troops
being put under the orders of Governor
Houston is a canard. In the first place,
Governor Houston is regarded as implicated
in the surrender of the Texan forts quite as
deeply as General Twiggs. In the next
place, there has always been a doubt of
General Houston's pluck, existing especially
among those who have seen service with
him. As TO this Texan imbroglio, if it
comes to a fight, whether between Houston
and the Confederate secessiOnists, or be-
tween Texans and Comanches, it will be one
which The Government canNiew with a con-
iuoal indifference.

A CHURCH C~oEGREGATIoN OF DRUNKARDs.
A correspondent of the British Standard
Congregational say;
At the present time l know of a church
that has been broken up lately, from this
very cause, drunkenness, nearly every mem-
Der being charged with the sin of iniemper-
ance, not one member daring 70 exercise
discipline upon another for fear Of a like ex-
posure himself; and owing 70 this cause, for
some months past, the Lords Supper has not
been dispensed.
