Inuel:.t..have,--intlered not a little ; this • winter
frOm . detentions occasioned .by l 'snow storms
and snow drifts. We chanced to be one, of
a coackload that was leleagued,,. a week or
two ago, - for about three hours. on the., - Cen-
Aral road.' - A light snow had fallen the night
before upon the,mass of old ` snOw, - and the
witfd springing up and blowing a gale, .the
track was filled in in a deep cut. An army
of knights of the shovel were soon on hand,
And while- they were quarrelling with the
drifts thepassengers:attempted to ' kill time.'
They succeeded pretty'. well. tAnd elderly,
jocund looking gentleman took 1 his turn to
warm himself by the stove. While enjoying
this luxury. he suddenly exelaiMed : •
This is the meanest country 11 was ever. in
. • •
in my lifer .1 ' •
.-. Presently he broke Out .•
• I never did see such 'a mean; country as
this is!. have heard Jell of York State, be

• and' Ido hope it will .be the last :1'
This remark aroused a cadaverous gentle.
- man near by, who had been fOr fiYe minutes
~engaged in -devouring an -apple: • Said he:
. • Don't see what you find to . Make • a ftis
'about--can't see anythine, from the windo,ks
of the,cars that is derogatory to I New York

. 'Can't .eh.?' exclaimed 'our grumbler.—,,
Welk I can I see_enouth toclist,T s ust the
with it, and to make me, wish Lli.sd never
seen so -mean a State as Your State is! .
At this a New Yorker fired and sung
out: ' '

Of course you do—no disputing: it ; but
aid was saying --here .is New ,York, this
'great State, boasting of het square miles and
her millious of population, and yet so mean
that she eatet afford but three feet 0., snow on
a level ! ! I detest such a State
A roar of laughter followed this unexpect
ed announcement, One old chap sung out :
' Say, Mister !'
' Say, what P .

Another old fellow insisted that the snow
was deep enough in Otsego county to suit
any body. He said' when: the third - storm
came, the sclx)imaster was boarding out his
peek with him. He stopped five.',weeks, and
then began to' get uneasy. The school house
was half a mile away. .One morning peda
gogue determined 'to travel out - and find the
_school rouse. He started en the icrust. and
and after traversing the usual ronte, and get
- Ping into what,..be believed to be the irn
;mediate vicinity' of the school house. he was
pon-plussed., No building was in sight.—
Ile thought it one timb that be hild found it
but the object that attracted ,hiS attention
turned out to he the top of a maple tree.—.
Bearehing round further, he suddenly slump
ed through the snow and laniel in the
school room! Two days afterwards the trus
tees drew him out with a rope !
Well: exclaimed another mat, 'this is a
winter that Clay and Webster Would have

Clay and Webster r cried out; a dozen ;
',what on earth'has this winter got to do with

A good deal,' he replied ; it is a nation

east, no west. Tbey are skatintr, in Florida,

on the Mississippi, and are havitut considers-
We winter down east.
Just at this moment, the snow having
been <cleared away, toOti toot! screamed the
whistle, and the train moved on. -An hour
was pleasantly killed.—AubUrri American.

This disposition' to meddle with matters In
which we have no concern, and 'about which
we have no right tc-act; has led to legislation
equally wrong and indO'insible. It is alb
based upon that sidf-riiliteons idea that one

Maine lietior:law, Otte :Class of -the -people
seek to take charge of tI4 morals of another ;
and the strong arm oft.b4 law is invoked to
aid in the work of 131pral eform.' The scared
consciences. of poli;ical :pro , titutes are a wak
.etied - to a tendei • senSibilitv. about their
neighbor's moral condition. The convincing
aro-ument of the , philanthropist, and.the
strsiveappealsof good Men, teaching both -I
by precept and example.; are thrown aside
for the more 'effective weapon of'legislative
power. The idea, of this class of reformers
seems to be that men

that the work can be more successfully cars

The very mew- who exprtns so many fears
about the poor but honest erifigrant, -are the•
first to welcome to our shores those whose
coming is heralded as' the 110 . 19.16 of dis
tinguished hems, whose: veins ancestral
blood is said to run. To them is extended_
the sickly homage paid to fictitious great.;
ness, bOth at private and public : xpense.--
For myself, I would prefer 'to stand on our
Atlantic shore, and greet with a hearty , and
cordial weleottie the honest laborer, driven
by•oppression arid persecution from the land
of his birth to seek a home for his. honest in
dustry. Let them coineanthwerthip with as
at a.common altar stand, by a common des
tiny. The winds of a kind , Providence have
wafted them to our shores; the hearts of it
generous people will , welcome theta to the,
blessings of a free government. The _true
American sentiment on this - subject was ex
pressed by the Father of his •Country, she
he. declared-that" the bosom of America *-
open not onlito receive the opulent and re
spectable stranger, but the oppressed and
perseCuted of all nations and all , religions,—
whom we Shall welcome tqa partiCipation in
all our rights and privileges.' ,
'There remains one other' doctrine of the
American or Know Nothing party,_to which
I desire_to call Your attention—the persecu
tion of the Catfiolies. And here we are met
again with a denial of the charge. They.de
ny any such purpose, and utterly reprulate
the idea - of altering.the Constitution, or pro
viding by law. for die 'exclusion of Catholics
from
,office ; and hence they profess t? make
no war upon the Consfitutional rights of that
class of fellow citizens. I must. again call
them back from their vague and indefinite
denials to flair oaths and• obligations. " They
have
. sworn that no Roman Catholic shall
receive their 'vote for. any office ; and - that,
if in. office, they shall be removed whenever
in'their power to do it. They seek to induce
their fellow citizens everywhere to take simi
lar oaths;.and .if it was right for them to
take•these 'oath; -it - is right for everybody
else; and shoulti their 'precept and example
be followed, thaTesult would be' that every
man in the land i ,:not a Catholic, ' would be
thus solemnly tend in his individual action
- as a voter to apply this reliiious test to „his
neighbOrsond his official capacity to apply
the same test. If it be right for every indi
vidual citizen thus to bind himself, and thus
to act.-.4,pat it, to you as candid men—
Would not be.right to incoroorate l it,.nto the.
Constitution
,„ Will any mart,-prel'end for a
moment that it is right to,adopt• a i principle
of„aie-tibn-; swear to conform to it, - and-.yet
that'itis wrong to put it tri the_Constitutiont
In other-words, Know.. Nothings pitOpose that
the united voice of the people, under the :Op
eiation of their oathi, - shall . - speak .one lan
guage, and the Conatitatien shall speak an
'other and .tbey insist -.that. they both are
right. ThiS cannot be. The one or . the oth r
er is wrong... Both -cannot . stand together ;
and We'imust decide 'whether we will main
n the_ oaths of Know Nothing or the Con
stitution of our country.! Lei.. us applk a
practical test for the solution of-this question..
Suppose that.a member of.this order should
be - oiected President of the United States.
He has aliendy sti-orn that he will, "when
when elected to an . otEcial station confeiTing
ortliim the power to. do so, remove all Ro-.
man Catholics 'from. office." That oath -rests
upon his conscience.. Ile feels bound iii goOd
faith to - carry it out. It: is his tutdarght
covenant. Before he enters'npon. the duties
of his office, he is ieqUirett to take another
oath—an oath to support the Constitution of
the United States.' In. swearing
.to. support
,that instrument, be swears to every . clause
and paragraph; and if the oath was •thns acri"
'ministered by, paragraphs, he would be re
gliired, to swear that, " whilst! am President
of'the Luited States, ' reiigiuus test, shall
ever, be . : r'equired' us a qualification to any
office .or,
' public trust under' the United
State's? ". • .
There stand the two oaths : one that he
will remove every Roman Catholic from of
fice—and the other, that lat . witi not'apply,a
religious test, Here is .a man in office-hon
est,,-faithrul, and competent, possessing qaul
ilicatiens tor the faithful discharge of his
duties; but he is a Roman Catholic in reli
gion.. The Know Nothing oath requiNs and
demands his removal. The oath to suppOrt
the Constitution ferbids the test to be applied.
Tell me, honest and' conscientious man, can
your Know NothingPre.sident electdiseharge
his obligations both to your order and the
constitution, and save his conscience I Theie
is but one tnode by which the members of
your order can be rescued from this dilem
ma, and that is by the people seeing to it,
that none- of you are ever permitted to reach
the position where you *ill be required . to
take the second oath.
The illustration which' I- have just given,
shoWs that the-Know Nothing oath cannot
be consistently taken LI- any one who may
be Balled upon to swear to support the con
stitution. If it is wrong and volative of the
letter of the constitution when taken by 'a
President, I ask you if it is not wrong and
'and volative of the spirit of the constitution
when
.taken by any individual citizen 1 And
what is your constitution worth when its
spirit is trampled .111;$0111 I The late
.. of it
remains, and the parchmont , too,.upon which
it. is written ' and the one is as worthless as
the other., It is the constitution both in let
ter and spirit which, commands our admira
tion, and to which - 'our hearts -have sworn
allegience. When its spirit which gives it
life and vitality, is gone, like the lifeless body
of a departed friend, it is ready forits final
resting plae,e., ••
Again I invite you to commune with the
spirits of our republican fathers, and learn
from the teachings of the great and good
men of revolutionary days, lessons of instruc
