After the formal opening of .66 Council, 'the credentials of delegates Were read, and with one or two exceptions approved, and 'the delegates recOgnized and admitted to seats.

Jesse having bten safely de livered of his speech, sat down 106:king as dig - 1-nified and wise as an owl. The opinion of IJesse was corroborated by statetnents from Shaler, Reichenbach, and Hess.' The Treasurer of the State Council, having been called upon to report thel condition of the Treasury, stated, that the funds belong ,ing to the State - council were al! exhausted, and that there was not a cent inithe,Treasury, and that therefore he had thought it useless to submit a written report. He further stated -that during the -last month no money had' been received-by - the Grand Council from sub ordinates, and that he hoped before the Grand Council adjourned, they would make some arrangements whereby funds would_ be made available to meet pressing debts, contracted by the Council during the last Gubernatorial election.

During the forenoon the Governor caine into tlip hall and was cordi ally greeted by his friends; he appeared, howev"r, 44 . manifest but little interest in the proceedings. The morning session was taken up by the reading of several reports, none of which par took' of a public interest, and in listening to speeches from various delegates. After quite a frothy declamation' from a Philadelphia brother, our olfrfriend and ex-Sheriff Adam Bear of •Leacoek rose and asked permission to say 'a few words. Adam appeared in the veritable old overcoat and spectack, which he w)re twenty-five - years agd, when he was in'company with I;'enn, he was teaching, the good . people of Earl township and new Hob 'land,' how poor Morgan was liool-winked and cabled-towed, killed d e ad as a stone, by the bloody ma,Sous who were banded. to gether the ".aWfulest" oaths, which the Grand Master made them take. Upon the - -plena occasion, however, Adam. was one of 'the oath bound, he too, had sworn, on entering the Know Nothing odge, forever to*keep secret all he knew, and all he didn't know of the Order. 'Well, Adam ruse to make a spereeli,—ht•said be was a plain man and was going to talk plain. He said . the Know-Nothings in this country were strong, strong as the anti-thasons in 1830, and he believed that if he waia young Mau, he might get a chance for office himself. - But, Said he, we .have a paper that, the people be lieve in,and it is hard on the Know-Nothingii. I mean t he Examiner, (here tbe speaker gave an audiTile groan,) the people believe in that .paper, and they say if the society was a good one, our paper would 'not oppose Well that paper add a set of liars who write for it are playing the very duce with us, and if I had •Q in the Corner, I would hang Bier as high as I did Sheatfer (not any relation to (John) when I was sheriff. •Now, Mr. Presi dent, we must put down that paper,. because if we don't,'it will put us down. But as Ad / am "broached" the subject, we will let him I pass. The hour of adjournment having arrived the Council adjourned until 3 P. M. AFTERNOON SESSION Council met and opened in the usual form. After the transaction ofsome unimportant business, brother Small,ol'ork, seconded by brother Jefferiei of Chester, offered a resolu tion to this elect Resolved, That this State Grand Council disapprove of, and discountenance all meas ures having for their object, the abolition'of the secret features of our Order.

Threats were made; oaths were sworn, 1143 .were doubled, vengeance threatened, and as Came ron, Johnson_ and others left the room in dis gust, the President pro tem. announced that the Council:stood adjourned eine die.

The cripples and beggars of Europe, Ter sons disabled by age, by infirmity of mind or body, or by any other cause, from obtaining their living, by their industry; should no doubt be supported by the I communities in which they first' became e burden: - To send them to us that we may- support them .is a 'trick of the basest sort—:t wrong which we ought not to endure. - But, there are thousands in E4ope who be- . come paupers by no fault of their own ; thou sands who would be glad .te work, and for whom ne o6empation is to be found in. the land of :heir birth. They have come to the banquet of life, and there is no.place for them at the erowded table, unless IheY -seek it in .another -hemisphere. '.They - have ;bodily strength and willing. hands, and 'ell they ask is an opportunity to labor. Under our fortu nate institutions, and in our vast country, with immense regions of fertile lond, waiting to be broken by the plough, this opportunity is to Le found: They . coine, hither not to be supported by charity, but to get work; they come to cover our virgin fields with 'harvests and to-make bread more abundant and cheap, both here and in all parts of the world. to which we send the products of our agricul ture. They are brought hither by the natu ral operation of a law of trade—we might give it's more reverent appellation ; and call it the law of -Providence—which, under the • new facilities for inigiatien, causes' labor to go where there is a demand. for it. For our own part weovould Welcome them as warmly and bid them God-speed as heartily as if they Came out with well-filled purses. - That such person( have been obliged in some -Way or other to accept:the public char ity, is not only no, crime, but it does not ren der them . the less usefut as laborers.' • Two or" three years since England offered a remora- hie example of the truth that pauperism: in 'the old world is, in most cases,-the simple ef feet of an overcrowded population. ' In 1851 . the poor-house of England. swarmed with ,ia ! maw. At the close of 1852,in - consequence. of the emigration to Australia and elsewhere they Were comparativly empty, and in dis tricts entirely so. • The paupers left the work houses and - entered upon the employment left vacant by the sudden and extensive emigra tion. The opportunity of Work was. the cure of pauperiim there, and, in the case of thou sands. of emigrants who came penniless to this. country, it will be the-antidote to pauperism here. . ; We have immense tracts pftbe most. fertile laud on which the sun rises and' 4ets, travers ed by noble , rivers, and in places overshad owed by mighty forests. - They are the com mon heritage of mankind; and we, who have first arrived m tbeinaeighborhood, have no right, by any Waimea or area just interpre tation of the laiitor:nature, to prevent our brethren the usfortunate per of Europe, from finnan!" these regions the employment of which -they are in search, while: we . -open them to the richer emigrant.

LOWELL'S LECTESES IIUDIBRAS - - -• doleridge, with admirable accuteness, said that "there is such alhing as :scientific wit." Therefore pure wit sometimes eves an intellectual pressure without making udaugh .mosi. freely, is that which instantly accepts. another tuan's premises, and draws a. Conchs- Sionfrom ,thern in its own filvor. A Country gentleman was once showing his impuivement to the -Prince do Linge, • and ,among. other things pointed out to bin" a' -muddy i t .spot which he called his lake. "It is rather slial low,ifs it .not t" I assure you .Prince . a men drowned himself in it.., "Al" •he must have' been a ilatterrer then," answered. De Linge. Of the same kind is the story told of .one of our old Massachusetts' clergymen Mork., At an ass'ociation dinner a debate arose as to the benefit of whiping, in bringing up children. The doctor took the affirmative and his.chief opponent was a young minister,. . whok reputation for veracity was not very high He affirmed that parents often ,did harts to their children by unjust punishment frOnt not knowing the facts of the case. "Why: said he, the only time my father ever whipped me Was for telling the truth." "Well,"retor-. ted the doctor, "it cured you of it didn't it?" In wit of this sort the is always a latcnt syl logism.. H . 'Oen there is the wit which ddtects an un intentional bit of satire in a word of double mewling; as where Sir Henry Wotten takes advantage or the phrase commonly used in his day tolimply merely ' residence, and finds an urnlerniining in it—saying, "that Ambas sadors were persons sent to tie abroad for Abe service of their Prince. .Captain.

Indeed Many of these sayings -are purely:lm ' aginativeas where a man said of a painter he knew, that " he paintel.a shingle so exadt- : ly like a marble, that when it fell into, the river it sunk."• A man told me once that the peopti of a certain country town were so ani versldly.dishonest " that they had,to take in their itones at,night.."
