solutions denounce the invasion Of one State
by the citizens Of another State with hostile
intent; they deplorc the practice SO prcya-
lent in some States Of failing to protect the
citizens OF other States travelling or Temporal
rily sojourning therein. All such evils are
to be deplorcd by good citizens Of whatever
section. The committee, however, propose
nothing to remedy the evil. The resolutions
propose to neither prohibit or command any,
thing in reference to personal liberty laws or
other evils complained Of. The report only
advises tho States to revise their legislation
in these particulars.
In my humble judgement. Mr.. Speaker, at
this particular juncturc, what we most want
is a distinct and prompt recognition of the
authority Of the Constitution, and the laws
enacted in pursuance thereof. as supreme and
paramount to any State legislation. Tf that
be readily and fully acknowledged, the remc.
ly will soon be found for the unauthorized
and illegal action Of States -whethcr Il be
ssccssion ordinances or personally liberty laws.
Modification, in whatever form, must be met
and overthrown. These personal liberty
laws, passed BY northern States, were never
designed to conflict with the Constitution OF
the United States, or TO nullify an act OF Con-
gress, passed In Pursuance Of the Constitu-
tion. They were designed, ais, 70 protect
their own citizens from bsing kidnapped I;

Mr.. Ilindman. Will the gentleman per-
nit me to call his attention to fact which
he seems to have forgot? The treaty between
Great Britain and the colonies merely rccog-
nized the indepenence Of each one OF the
thirteen colonies by name. It did not rccog.
nize our independence as anation or alcaguc.
Mr.. Vandcver. These United States did
not separately negotiate with the mother
country. Unitedly they declared their indie.
pendence, and unitcdly they negotiated the
terms Of the treaty. The same authority
that commissioned George Washington to
lead the armies Of the United Colonies, at,-
II orizcd the commissioners to treat with the
mother country for the independence Of the
United States Of America and when in the
treaty OF peace the colonies were enumerated
it was for the purpose Of recognizing and &C.
knowledging their united Independence, and
not their sepcrate national existence. The
allegiance the colonies owed to Great Britain,
was thus transferred to the United States oi
Now, sir, what was the next step! After
the acknowledgment Of our independence fos
the purpose Of forming moro perfect Union,
the Consultation Of the United States was or.

M0RA.G & RELIGIOUS
The Right Sort of Religion.

We want religion that goes into the
family. and keeps the husband from being
Spitrlul when the dinner is late, and keeps
the dinner from being atc-keep> the wife
from irctting when the husband tracks the
newly washed floor with his muddy boots.
and makes the husband mindful of the
Scraper and floor mat keeps the mother
patient when the baby is cross, and keeps
the baby pleasant; amuses the children as
we'll as instructs them; wins as we'll as gov
ernS; projects the honeymoon into the har-
vest moon, and makes the happy hours like
eastern fig. tree, bearing in its bosom at
once the beauty of the tender blossom and
the glory of the ripened fruit. We want
religion that bears heavily, not on the
exceeding sinfulness of SIM but on the
exceeding rascality of lying and stealing
a religion that banishes small measures
from the counters, small baskets from the
stalls, pebbles from the cotton bags, clay
from paper, sand from sugar, chicory from
coffee, otter from butter, beet juice from
vinegar, alum from bread, strychnine from
wine, water from milk cans, and buttons
from the contribution box. The religion
that is to save the world will not put all
the big strawberries at the top, and all the
bad ones at the bottom 1t will not offer
more baskets of foreign wines than the
vineyards ever produced bottles, and more
barrels of Genesee -four than all the wheat
fields of New York grow, and all her mills
grind. 1t will not make one-half pair Of
shoes of good leather and the other of poor
leather, SO that the first shall rebound to
the makers credit, and the second to his
cash.
1t will not put Jouvin's stamp on Jen-
kins' kid gloves, nor make Paris bonnets
in the back room of a Boston milliner's
shop, nor let piece of velvet that pro-
tesses to measure twelve yards come to an
untimely end in the tenth, or spool of
sewing silk that vouches for twenty yards
be nipped in the bud at fourteen and a
half, nor the cotton thread spool break to
the yard stick fifty of the two hundred
yards of promise that was given to the eye,
nor yard-wide cloth measure less than
thirty-six inches from selvage to selvage,
nor all wool delaines and all linen hand
kerchlefs be amalgamized with clandestine
cotton, nor coats made Of woolen rags
pressed together be sold to the unsuspect-
ing public for legal broadcloth 1t does
not put bricks at FIVE dollars thousand
into chimneys it contracted to build of
seven dollar materials, nor smuggle white
pine floors that have paid for hard pine,
nor leave yawning cracks in closets where

The Scarlet Tanager

Is one OF the most beautiful of Ameri-
can birds. having plumage of the richest
scarlet, with wings of jet black lie is
spread over the Cniied States, and is found
even in Canada anG South America. He
rarely approaches the habitations of man.
unless perhaps the orchard, where he
sometimes builds; or 10 the cherry trees in
search Of fruit. There, among the thick
foliage of the tallest trees, his simple, and
almost monotonous notes of chip, churr,
repeated at intervals in a pcnsive tone,
may be occasionally heard, which appear
to proceed from considerable distance,
though the bird be Immediately above YOU;
faculty bestowed upon him by the benef
cent Author OF nature, no doubt for his
protection, to compensate in a degree for
the danger to which his glowing color
would often expose him. Besides this
usual note, he has, at times, more musi-
cal chant. His food consists of large
winged insects, such as wasps, hornets, and
humble bees, and also of fruit His nest
Is built on the horizontal branch of a tree,
sometimes an apple tree, and is but slightly
put together; stalks pf broken flax, and
dry grass, so thinly woven together, that
the light is easily perceivable through it,
from the repository of his young. His
manners are modest, easy, and inofFensive.
He commits no depredatons on the prop
erty Of the husbandman; but rather bene-
fits him by the daily destruction of many
noxlous insects; and when winter ap-
proaches, he is no plundering dependant,
but seeks III distant country that susie
nance which the severity of the season de-
nles to his industry in this He is strik
ing ornament to our rural scenery, and
none OF the meanest Of our scenery, and
none OF the meanest of our rural songsters.
Such being the true traits of his character,
we shall always with pleasure welcome this
beautiful stranger to our orchards, groves,
and forests
When you approach the nest, the male
keeps cautousI y at distance, as if fearful
OF being seen; while the female hovers
round in the greatest agitation and dis
treSs. When the young leave the nest,
the male parent takes most active part in
feeding and attending them, and is then
altogether indifferent Of conccalment.

pose that he ever expected to have the
Confederate flag float over the Capitol with
out frs driving out the Federal Govern
ment, and this could not be done without
carrying the war to that city. Furthermore,
if it should ever float over Faneuil hall it
could only be by the subjugation of Boston,
to say nothing of any other portion Of the
North. The proclamation Of the President
was not issued until three days after the
attack on Fort Sumter, and yet in the face
OF such facts as the foregoing, our Southern
friends say we are making unholy, wanton
warfare upon them. We ask them in all
eandor, if it would not appear upon the
face OF history one Of the most cowardly
things in the world to see free people
tamely allowing their Government to he
driven from place and power without an
effort to save IT
