The Gfnfa Leri.Infnre.

The Senate was not in session on
Wednesday. The House transacted some
unimportant business. Mr.. Dangler in
troduced the following joint resolution
WHEREAS, The time has arrived, when
we can clearly perceive and appreciate
the wisdom of our Fathers, in their oppo-
sition to the passage of the three-ffths
clause of our Constitution, which gave to
certain States Congressional representa-
ton based on population looked upon as
Chattel Property, and voiceless in the
election of those Representatives; and
whereas, the political history of our eoun-
try from that date down to the present,
has proved that the concession then yielded
to the demands of the slave power
only served to increase its insolent
and Unsuitable lust for domination
in the Government of this country,
which finally eliminated in an effort to
ruin ''when it could not rule;" and believ-
ing, as we do, that the existence of the
three-ffths clause in our Constitution is
contrary to the spirit of our free institu-
tions, and ought to be wiped off with
slavery, of which it was the offspring; be
il, therefore,
ResOived By the General Assembly
of the State of Ohio, That we request
our Representatives in Congress to use
every effort to procure an amendment to
the Constitution of the United States, so
as Congressional Representation shall be
apportioned according to the number of
male citizens over tYenty-one years Of
age resident in each District, possessing
the requisite qualifications for electors OF
the most numerous branch of the State
Legislature. f brB7f SECS . 3bEHb -ii
Resolved, That'a copy of this preamble
and resolution be forwarded to each mem
Der of the House of Representatives and
Senate Of the United States from Ohio.

Cotton Growers Convention.

At regular meeting Of the Chamber Of
Commerce, the Executive committee report
ed against the proposition made by the Bos-
ton Board of Trade to hold a National Cot
ton Growers Convention, to devise means to
secure an increased production Of cotton in
the United States, and suggesting the pro-
riety of government interference. The
committee is firmly persuaded that any in
reference on the part of the government,
save for the preservation Of order and pro-
lection of the relative rights of labor and
capital, would mar rather than facilitate the
production of cotton. Nor can they believe
that national convention would be produc-
tive Of beneficial results.
The committee believe that the best means
to produce the desired end, is to direct the
attention of capitalists to this promising
field of profitable investment, and leave It
to their sagacity 20 secure the the desired
result = Yql

congregational Liberality and Enter

prise orr. -. 8
The National Council of Congrega-
tional Churches in the United States, held
in Boston the past summer resolved to
raise the present year the sum of seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
their missionary work. This large sum,
three quarters of a million, was aPpriated
to these great objects two hundred thou
sand went for the Church Building Fund,
to be expended under the direction of the
American Congregational Union The
remaining five hundred and fifty thousand
were about equally divided between the
Western and Southern missionary fields.
The delegates to the National Convention
went to their homes resolved to raise this
amount of money, large as it is.
To raise the two hundred thousand for
building purposes, the Council recon-
mended that collection should be taken
up simultaneously by the Congregational
churches throughout the country on the
nth of December, the last Sabbath before
Forefather's Day. 1t was called the 'Fore-
fathers Collection" The nth of Decem-
Der has come and gone, and the results as
they were gathered from different parts of
the country are given to the public
through the medium of the press. In the
Independent of the 2lst ultimo, list was
published showing the amounts contributed
by some of the eastern churches. The pub
lication of the Independent came so soon
after the 18th that the list was necessarily
limited to the churches near to the Great
Congregational centre in the East. We
have looked over this list carefully, and
are gratifed to see the wealth and liber-
ality of the Congregational churches. Al.
though filling little more than half col
umn, in it appear thirteen collections of
more than one thousand dollars each, con-
tributed by single churches. OF this num-
Der one is for two thousand, three for more |
than three thousand, and FIVE for more
than four thousand. The largest, that of
H. w. Beechers church, Brooklyn, is
for ten Thousand three hundred.
In the Independent of the 2Sth, a second
list appears, filling column and half
In this the same iberality is eYinced.
This list does not contain such large con-
tributions as the former one, owing to the
fact that it does not embrace such wealthy
churches. While New England still holds
the most prominent place, the West is
We notice a contribution
ofthree hundred dollars from the Plymouth

It was well for the National Council
to make such large provision in their ap-
for the South. That the
church policy of the Puritans will exert
healthy religious influence there is shown
by the fact that in the States which made
up the Confederacy, there was not a single
Congregational Church. Puritanism and
slavery were too antagonistic to live side
by side.

foot on our land so as to become guilty when
he was arrested. The Judges held that this

Culloch's report " very able document. It
is remarkable among similar official docu-
ments of State as being grounded on sound
financial principles. We recognize in Nc
CullOch a real inancier. But the point in
Mr.. McCulloch's scheme which must strike
Englishmen most forcibly is the confidence
which he invites in the action of the execu-
tive. He asks for unlimited power in the
way of funding tie paper currency, and he
asks that surplus, commencing at ten mill
lions and gradually increasing TO forty mil
lions, may be entrusted to the Government
for the time being. That such things should
be asked for is surprising, but if representa-
tives of tax payers are found willing to
grant them we may well be astOnished.
Whatever may be the issue Of the course of
financial discussion in the States during the
current session of Congress may be watched
by US with advantage. Those who are in
much the same position may learn from the
experience of others.

InOrning two mules were found dead
which fact was promptly reported to the
Colonel, who gave the laeonic order, drag

occurred to "Rocky" that if the mules
were dragged back into the enclosure that
night he could remove and sell two other
mules and report ''two mules dead, as he
had done previously The mules were &C
cordingly dragged back and two other
mules sold, and the morning report, 1.-TWO

suspicion was aroused that something was
