WHEREAS, Strenuous efforts are being
made to induce the Legislature of Mary
land, to so modify the ex lsting laws which
protect the sanctity of the Sabbath, as to
degrade it to day of secular amusement,
under the special plea of necessary recrea-
ton, therefore
Resolved, That we regard the Sabbath as
a Divine institution for man, and its obser-
vance one of the main elements of sound
morals in the community, as illustrated in
the history of our nation, and that its con-
templated dissertation, as set forth in the
foregoing preamble, would he dire calam
ity, inhicting great evil upon the people of
our State.
Resolced, That we esteem our own Gov
ernment as the freeSt aad most liberal, and
our people are among the most moral upon
the face of the earth. We believe that our
christian civilization and morality are due.
under God, to our observance of the Sab
bath, more than to any other single cause.
and we protest against the introduction of
any European customs that may tend to
lower the standard, which our fathers reared
and we propose to MAINTAIN, of the Chris
tian Sabbath.
ResoIoed, That we regard the present
attempt as an initial step toward the entire
breaking down of the Sabbath all over cur
land, consequently endangering all of our
civil institutions; and we pledge ourselves
to resist, by every lawful means, such per-
nicious and unjustifiable encroachments.

conduct the business themselves.
We are to have several changes in the
way of removals this Spring. Amongst
others, J. T. Rowland, undertaken and
wheelwright, is preparing to leave us, to
engage in farming, though, we believe, he
still intends carrying on his business to
some extent. We are informed that wheel

supervision of B. McNey.
We have semi-weekly mail now, with
the expectation of daily mail in the near
future.

Y. NJ. c. A.-The Proposed Change in the
Constitution.

[The following article was handed in
last week too late for insertion.
Wellwisher" evidently begged the
question in his article of last week, entirely
forgetting, or ignoring the real question at
issue, namely, how the greatest amount of
good can be accomplished by the Associa-
ton.
Now to III sure its success several things
are necessary: among those, an earnest
christian zeal; money to carry it on; the
requisite number of members, or in other
words, sufficient number engaged to
make it efficient in doing good.
The money to carry it on can be secured
mainly, by the amounts given and paid in
by its members; and if it is to be carried
on by active members only, would ask
"Well- Wisher" how many young men
of Elkton there are who are members of
Church. If 1 am not mistaken, not enough
all told, who would engage in this work,
to fill the offices, COMMITTEES, &C.; where
then, l ask, are the members to come from,
except from the young men of Elkton and
vicinity, outside Of the Church. Is it not
require an argument to- show that the best
and most effectual means to accomplish
the desired end, is to give them an interest,
an equal chance in every thing. Is it rea-
son or common sense to ask the young men
of Elkton, to give their time, money and
influence, to cause where they are not to
have equal rights and privileges Ny ar
gument is, get them into the work, it will
do trust to their COOL sense of propriety,
not to want to be pla, ed in any position
not agreeable to thems elves or the Associ-
alton.
At the last meeting the bylaws were so
amended as to allow the committees to be
composed of associate as well as active
members. This leaves only the constitu-
ton to be so amended, as to make associate
members eligible to Office. after the pres
ent term OF those heretofore elected, shall
expire; and this will be brought up at the
next monthly meeting, or as soon there
after, as may be deemed advisable to Sc
cure the desired change
l would again urge for the last time,
that this Association has always been
regarded as the stepping stone to the
church. Some of the most powerful revi-
walls have followed inits footsteps all over
the country. Its great end and aim has
been to put the young men of the land
within its folds where such influences are
brought to bear as will eventually lead
them to the Saviour; to draw them from
the haunts of vice and intemperance to
the Church.
Now that all the committees are to be
re-appointed to meet the change i'll the
bylaws, l feel warranted in saying that
tho objections heretofore made, have been
removed for the present at least, by the
action of the last monthly meeting. We
have every reason to hope and believe that
the Young Mems Christian Association
will yet be power for good in this town.

preliminary survey of this line was finished
on Tuesday of last week, Engineer Hood
and party reaching the Susquehanna at
Peach Bottom on that day. The line was
run from Oxford to Pine Grove, via Hope
well; crossing the Octoraro at tayoraoie
place near the Mouth of Twaddle' rum
and then crossing the West Branch near
its confluence; keeping up this stream to a
short distance above Kings bridge; ana
then curving to the left, running up john
sons run and crossing the summit OF the
dividing ridge at Clenedenins'; thence to
the northwest bank Of Swift's run, passing
quite near the birth place of Robert Fulton
of steamboat fame, and following this run
to the Conowingo-crossin that stream on
the farm of Joel Smedley; there detecting
southwark and intersecting with former
survey of a road from Peach Bottom to
Nottingham station, near the Lancaster
and Port Deposit road; a little further west
striking the Puddle Dock creek and run
ming down its northwest bank to Peach
Bottom, making distance of about TWEEN
ty miles. A few sharp curves were made
to avoid heavy cutting. The route was
found favorable, and we understand that it
is the opinion of the engineer that the road
can be constructed at comparatively light
expense. 1t is unwise to forstali the est'-
mate of Mr.. Hood the engineer, which Will

RIVER NEws.-We have had a slight
rise in the river here, and the showers
of yesterday will probably add some
thing to it, as they seem to have been
pretty general. There was six feet in the

At Pittsburgh the river was on a stand
with four feet in the channel. Heavy
rains prevailed there all day.
The Mollie Ebert, lying at Bellaire,

went up last night.
The Argosy passed up to Pittsburgh
yesterday.
The Andes arrived from Cincinnati
last evening. She leaves for Cincinnati
at 3 o'clock this afternoon. She is just
the boat for this trade. High water or
low water is all one to her. She hash
lost trip since she commenced run
ming between this point and Cincinnati.
She is reliable, and with her gentle
manly captain and clerk deservedly
popular.
The towboat Charley Hornbrook is
about ready to 60 into commission.
Yesterday we heard that she was to 60
to Burlington for tow Of iron. She
doesn't draw over twenty inches, and
can skip along on heavy dew.
We are glad to see that the Market
Boy is getting to be quite popular. We
notice that she is being quite exten>
sively used by the ladies and children
for an afternoon ride to Bellaire and
return. Nothing can be nicer than a
short excursion like that TO Bellalre
and return during the hot days OF sums

very little, and is very pleasant trip.
