RESOLUTIONS OF THE MINUTE MEN.
We give elsewhere in the JouRSAL to-day,
series Of resolves, adopted by the Minute Men OF
this city, at late meeting, in reference to the
"crisis."
The irst part of the preamble sets forth that
''the bright aud brilliant history Of the United
States of America is now threatened &c. We
take i. that If nothing more than "the bright
and brilliant history Of cur country is in danger,
there is not much cause for alarm especially If
the portion of it about to be destroyed should
embrace the "history" of the administration OF
James Buchanan, and his traitor cabinet
The second portion of the preamble re-aliirms
tbs "undyng devotion Of the NJ. M. to the Union,
the Constitution, and the enforcement OF the
laws" This is patriotic; aud we can almost
affirm that it is sincerely expressed, for We know
Mr.. Pyle-the author Of the resolutions-to be
as firm and devoted friend to the American
Union and American interests as any gentleman
in the country.
Resolution No. ! breathes coercion in every
liuc and syllable. Coercion, that naughty word,
which, according to our opponents, is only heard
from Republican lips and which if carried into
effect, they tell US will result in war. Perhaps

DOVER, February G, 1861.
Business in the Legislature hangs little
Heading secession ordinances and resolutions
from other States takes up portion of the time
allotted to members for the transaction Of lcpi-
innate business.
The Senate was not in session on Monday
aud on Tuesday very little of public nature
was transacted. In the House, your faithful and
gen'lemanly Representative, Edward Belts, in
troduoed several very important bills, among
which were, one for the suppression of the in.
famous traffic in the foreign lottery system. md
another for the encouragement Of public eduea-
ton. The beneAcence Of both these objects
must commend itself to every moral man in the
State. Look at it, First it is proposed to drive
out as far as possible, vile business which lead,
to pauperism, crime and disgrace, and next to
elevate the minds of the children of the State
by an extended and fostered system of public
education. We honor Mr.. Belts for his persis.
tent efforts'to rid the community of a mora
incubus on the one hand, and establish in III
stead an enlightened popular intellect, SO tc
speak, on the other,
But despite the efforts of good men at Dover
am firmly persuaded that n Lottery bill Of
some kind will pass the Legislature. The tast,
for "public Improvements" as it is called will
create such pressure upon the members below
that they will eventually yield, and thus faster
another Lottery concern upon the State. All
We can dol all that moral men anywhere cal
do to avert the evil, will be to hope and fight
until the outrageous system and its iniquitous
mischief shall be made SO manifest to the people
at large, that they will rise at last, and Danish
the infamy from the State.
The efforts Of the JOURNAL towards "a con-
summation so devoutly to 30 wished" are duly

cotton manufacturers the services of Britt

the dissemination Of the wants of the cotton trad
and the acquisition Of information relative
possible supplies, Lord John says that Cover
ment is not prepared to incur any expendltu
or any liability in the matter, but he thinks t
COnsuls may be useful in ascertaining W.T.
amount of cotton may be forthcoming from tn
respective districts to meet any sudden demar
or what amount might be brought into the lo
market if the native dealers had reasonal
assurance of finding customers for it at eiy
time.

Two religious papers-the New York Tablet,
and the Catholic Herald, both welding consil-
cradle influence the minds Of their respective
readers, are just now engaged in the laudable
business Of calling each other 'liars, 'thieyes,"
''sore heads sc. Some person having moral
authority over those sheets should step in and
silence the disgraceful controversy 1t is a
noticeable fact that whenever religious journals
get into on angry dispute-eithor Of personal
or ssetariau charaeter-a degree of malice,
intolerance, and bitterness oflaugaage is iudulg-
ed by them, which would put to shame many Of
the political sheets of the day, and cause them to
lose all their respectable patronage and support.

vAoRAEoY.-A bill is now pending before the
Legislature for the suppression of yagranoy.-
1t declares all persons who have no occupation
whereby they may obtain livelihood, and roam
about from place TO place, sleeping in out houses,
barns, market places, sheds, Sc, and beg from
door to door, for vetuas, shall be deemed va
grants II shall be be lawful for Justice of
the Peace or the Mayor and Alderman of this
city, upon conviction of any person charged
with being a vagrant, to commit him to the work
house or jail Of the County, to kept at hard
labor for period not exceeding sixty days. A
person charged with being vagrant, may take
Gu appeal to the Court of General Sessions of
the Peace and Jail Delivery, by giving security.
Should convicts refuse to labor or become re-
fractory, they are to be put in close confinement,
until they shall submit to perform their tasks,
and obey orders. This is good act and should
pass the Legislature, In this vicinity these
proaigate wretches are very numerous, and are
source Of great annoyance to the community,
and We believe, such law would have ten
dency TO make many Of them 20 TO work aud
earn an honest livelihood, while the ineorrgible
would DO compelled to labor in jail.

IT Is A COMMON OBSERVATION that
there are more sufferers from debility. among
Americans, than can be found among any other
civilized nation. The reason is obvious. We
take too little exercise, and forget the warts Of
the body in the absorbing pursuits Of business.
In all such cases, ordinary medicines can do
little good What is required is just such a
tonic and inyigorator as Dr. ]. llOstetter has
given to the world, in his CELEBRATED BIT
TIERS" The weak and nervous denizen Of the
counting house, the exhausted toiler upon the
shop board, and the Frustrated student of the
midnight lamp have found wonderful regenera-
tor in the "BITTERs," and prefer it to more
preteniiOus but less eilicacous medicines. But
it should not be forgotten TINT the agent which
is so magical in its influence upon frame
which is merely debilitated, is equally rewer'
fu in assisting nature to expel the most terrible
forms of disease Who would not give it trial.

/ So vide Is the field of its usefulness and so nu-

svery section of country abounds in persons pub
