After the opening exercisea, a applicable to the occasion, the VIII chapter of Deuteronomy was read, and the apeaker remarked: Ia common with multitudes of oar brethren ia oar Common wealth and io oar sister States, we come together this beautiful morning to express to the Sovereign and Lord of the Universe the gratitude ot onr hearts for the blessings and mercies which have followed as daring the past ; -w a ." . year, do nation naa greater caase tor tDaoaiui neaa for the multitude of favors and blessings which have been lavished upon as, for the harvests which have been reaped, for the almost universal health, aad for the freedom from pestilence. If famine has visited as it bas bee a on the oaUklrU of the land, whi'e the great heart contains within itself enough for all. Remembering these, and to call npon Ood to deliver us from coming evil, we can go before hia throne to-day. The 1 1th and 12h veraes of the XXI chapter of Isaiah were taken aa the text. " Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night t The watchman said. The morning cometh, atid alto the night: if ye teill in-quire, inquire: return, come." THE BERMOX. No man can feet the rasponsibility cf his position mora than I do now. I staud iu the presence of a laire Mudieuce of fe!Kjwciliaos and lellaa-Cbrijiinutt -K as a minister of the Lord Jfvus Christ, devoted, as I trust, to the interesls of my Master's kiiirdofo. and considering the claioiS of the B.b'.e as parmnouat to all other. considerations uf earth I stand before you, equnl wiin youseives a a citizen ot the grandest republic on this earth. As this latter I am as closely identified with the Constitution and the laws f my country aa with the Bible and religin of Ood Father, Sou, and Holy Ghost. Consequently, ' I cannot be obtuse in my feeling nor iudiffcrent in my purposes, in connection with our common country,-common Christianity and common com mutou ; counting, as I do, Christianity a thii g we -onght to love over and above all things, and the support of which will make ns patriots in hearts, life and death, if need be." The question which we desigu, then, to consider this morning, is : II w is our Union to bo perpetuated ? I am awaro that on this, as on all euljcts, there exists diversities of opinion. I am uwarf that same, oy, many aay, there is no danger, no cause for aUrm or excitement. From this opinion, I would mom kindly and respectfully ditartit. It' 1 did not feel ia my heart. and eonocif ntiotily . honestly, believe wy eonotry in danger, fearful danger, 1 wiuld not occupy your time nor con sume my atrengt h in speaking on a aot.jeTt of ouch magnitude, ffs aay, then, no saue man can shot hi eyes to the danger, and we ought to know n. and know ti now, - i denire not tospek 1 as an ularruutor for effect the facta are palpable, clt-ar una visible to all. I know it W eid, and by many, that it is impossible this Union should be dissolved. Wherein liea ihe impoesibilily ? The power of constructing is capablo of disolving. Let us look at the facts. Some years ago every one aaid there was no dangarof th Church of God being divided. Is lh Chorch of God divided ? Let ua look at the Methodist church, that mighty combination of mind and heart, which has made itself felt and known from the Atlantic to the Western borders, and from the cold frost of a winter, which congeals even the waters of the sea, to the distant Southern regions of sonny beauty and is not the Methodist church divided ? . Take the New School Presbyterian Chorcb, a noble body of intellect and heart, and is it not divided North and South ? Take the Baptist church, that rrand auxiliary in the empire of morals and religion, and is not it aivtaeo r What divided the Methodist Chorch. and what the New School Presbyterian, filled on. as it is. ith men of gigantic minds and far-reachinir benevolence; and what the Baptists, that inde- atigable body of Christian spirits, whv are the diviiled and stand aloof, even to denying the ele- meats ot Uie bony of Jesus, the one to the other. The ground we take is, if you can sever the bouds of fellowship, of Christian brotherhood, of holy communion, and it you cao so secUonalise the chuch that you can leave those great bodies dividedif yoa have greet banda of Chriatianity ai d patriotism, bound, welded together, and all are broken aannder, why shoald not merely polit ical, social ootids, be broken asunder 7 If, after all, the influence of the spirit of God. which can change and enlighten ibe savajre ; if JUr toe action ot tbia religion, and after man has felt its molifying itifluence, we find things aa tbey are, what i there to prevent the aeveriur of the. political bands which unite lhege Statet7 The cause which doe the one will do the other, and tha cause which ha done it is ibis Jay severing theae States. The question then is, what can be a.Me to avert so great a calami-v ? And the crv is coming op in the anornin?. and it ceaaeth not at oirht, Watchman, what of the night ? " It is addressed to the men of God as they look forth from op turrets of the citidel of salvation, comiog fruoa the North, the East, and the Weat, and from ike centre, aad the answer is " The morning cometh, aad also the night.' If ye will inquire, inquire ye.. Betarn ; come." I hare already said that the dissolution of thia Union woe Id be a great one, because the diasolation woo Id not only be calamitous to ourselves, but to the world of man. Is there a pbil. aatkropie heart 00 earth that is not beating and looking for our Union abiding? a there a dvw. trodden man on earth who looks ao for th- day when the light of the American republic shall fall on his benighted path? How then is this calamity to be prevented ? I anawer, FtaL- Br a rigid and universal adherence tn the letter and soirit of the Constitution of the United States. Let the principlea thereof be carried oat to the death, if necenoary: N"t only on the part of the civil authorities, but equally 00 the part of each citizen ; f r one eitixn is as equally hound to obey the laws aa another, and let tbia fact be impreeeed 00 the publto Bwi Who oaa deny this aet? Why have we tbia compact, why this agreement, why tboaa fathers bowing, at the advice of Bei jamio Franklin, before the divine presence for guidance? We it ant that each man-was to obey the compact? The Constitution i to you and to sne, in a political light, what the Bible ia ia a religions light, and yoa aad I have ao snore the riht to infringe on the Conatuut.oa and laws, tbao array ouV aelvea againat the principle, of thia religion. : . 1 "cotdly, Wt all tboaa Statet which JVe or.) r txlettt, pasaed Uws anil! fjing tbe Constitutioa, repeal lien, d at ooee. Tnit as it tn the k,i!n -i . . - " . .- 10 moo. 11 one State ay Jegialate against the General Govern: meat, another cosy do to likewiae. and r. the midst of anarchy ; aad blodahed ni. The question arises, bar tbe States a right ta exjuuaie agatess iae uensn-at uovarasaeatT From wbeaeeao Iber derive thia right? aad If x.. bar it not, and the repeal of those laws will uJ to calm the poXitioel heart aad-be the pariag oat of oil from the great bora ef brotherhood oa the troubled surface, and roll back tbe wares threat-ea as why will they, not do it? If yoa wrong your brother, is it sot characteristic of the very soul of the Christian and patriot to come forward, confess the error and shake bands ia love I - Thirdly Let all the States noite in the spirit of fraternal love, that each State as well as each citizen of each State, may bare tbe fall enjoyment of their Constitutional and legal rirhts, 00 more, no less. Yoa expect, and rightfully expect, that the right gaarraateed yoa by the Coa-stitntion and laws, shall be respected by the citizens of all the other States of this Union. What then yoa demand from others, you are bound to render to othara. If by th Conatita-tion and laws certain thiaga are declared to be property, are you not bound to recognise it aa such. For illustration, let as suppose yoa go to one of the Virginia springs, taking with yoa a carriage and horses, and a law had been passed in that State which would justify yoar horses and carriage in being seized as soon as yoa entered their borders things which, by the Constitution and laws, have been declared to be property. Would you not feel that your legal rights had been violated. Whate ver, therefore, may be said to the contrary, ao long as the right of the Sou them States to hold slaves, and consider tbeir time and service as property, is . recognised by the Constitution and laws, just so long are the Free States bound to consider it such. If they are bound to the rendition of what we legally claim as property, are we not bound to like rendition of what they, with equal justice, claim as their? Now I am addressing my countrymen and fellow-free men. I go for equal rights, and will stand by my determination, though I am hewn down by inches and I maintain that we are bound to yield to the sister States what we demand Y them. I am not a lawyer, but common sense teaches me that that which is my property 1 cat claim as such at any time or iu any place. If I am mistaken in this, the mistake is cf iLe bed and not of the heart. Ilerce, taking it for gri.l a .- a B . S - f . . ej tnat woavir.e uonsiiiunoii recognises aa my rightful property is auch, no Stale has ihe right to nullifv or change that decision. Have tbey, my brethren 7 and what is it but rebellion oa the part of those who.do such things? Fourth. As Christians it is our duty to follow the ndvice of Jenua, as given in the 21st versa of the XXXII chapter of Maibew. No mau cao follow ibe injunctiors cf Christ and his Apost es .... . w tbout ooeying ine powers mat ne, as oraained of God. Tbey were endeavoring to ensnare. the Son of God, who from the time he entered npon the duties of life until he left the world, walked upon the straight hues of right ai.d justice.-They brought bim a penny. ' Whi.se is this image and euperscripiion?" Tbey aay unto h'nu ' CssarV.-'; Then said he, " Bender unto Caesar the things that are Cseiar's, and unto God ibe things that are God's.' Mrk the wisdom of the Sou of G.d. It" we but folly w his example Miid 1 caching, nir.eleeu-t wentietu of our troubtea would be blotted out. I deplore to ay also, hnd the pulpit but dune its duly the country would not have been 5 11 thia state. If lb s Christian community "would' but comply with the very spirit of this command, render that "ia, yield to the requirement of the power that be, such confu sion would not prevail as we now see; and I urge upon you, aud particnlarfy npon the brotherhood of this church, to adhere to tbe death to the Con' stiiution and laws. 1 have planted n.y feet on this rock, and it would require a thunderbolt of Heaven' lightnings to move me. Of all peop'e on earth, we should obey the laws of our land. Men of as pure minds, as patriotic hearts as God ever implanted within the human frame men who loved peace, frsighted, noble-hearted men, made them, and that too, under the auspiciea of God. Who amended that Constitution? The sons of those honored sires, assembled in solemn convocation. Then let each State carefully mind it own business, '.& perform it constitutionally, legitimately, and in the: spirit of reciprocity. If we find compliance uncomfortable, it is ours to modify and change, but so long as the fourth article, or any other article, is on the page of the Constitution, let us see. as Peaneylvanians. as brothers, that article complied with and carried oat. Once more let as remember we are a nation of brothers. What a thought 1 That when the Revolutionary struggle was made, which burst the political fetters which bound us to Great Britain, do blood flowed more freely or more patriotically than the blood of our Southern fathers. There was no spot where the Southern was not to be seen blending bis lot with those of the North and Bast and West. Remember, too, that their blood flows ia onr veins, and onr blood ti owa in their veins. In God's name, then, I ask, shall this fraternal blood rush in deadly" conflict, into one river of death, to wash out forever every hope of political, civil and religious liberty ? Shall brother imbne his band in broiber'a blood, and ibe mctheraof this nation weep ever the slain of their own bonaebold ? Shall one star be lost from that proud national banner, or one stripe be torn from its consecrated folds ? or aball that noble American eagle, which for threescore yeara and ten aye, more has soared over this bappy, this wonderfully prosperous country, aa be rises from hia eyrie to gaxe upon the sun, be compelled to utter one wild shriek of horror as be bids fire well 1 farewell I to this land of 'the free, this home oi the brave ? . God of our fathers, forbid j it. Mr countrymen! Oh! my coiiMirvmen! will j yon not say. Amen. ant Amen 7 Well yoa n t wrap von selves in onr fltg. as a coat of mail, and Stand bv your Constitoiioii ? As the soua of. the Adsrs,'be Hancocks, the Pi knevs. ihe CarroH. with one hand on the ark of our naiinnal covenant, and wib tbe other bearing aloft the standard of Union, pledge your lives, yoar fortunes and yoor sacred honor" in their defence. Come, then, mothers for yoa too have an interest t come men, come to-day, and speak kind 1y, and when; in the spirit of accusation, they bring you a penny, desiring to tempt yon, ask, " Wboae image and superscript ion is this?

Sum wanted post orifices, sum wanted collectorships, sum wanted furrin missions, and all wanted sumthin, I thought Old Abe would go crazy. He hadn't more than had lime to shake bands with 'em before another tremenjis crowd cum porein onto his premises. His bouse and dooryard was now perfeckly overflowed with orifice seekers, all clameruss for a immejit interview with Old Abe. One man from Ohio, who had about seven inches of cor n whU-key into him, mistook me fur Old Abe and ad dresst me as The Prchayrte Flower of the West!" flunks I 'you' wanu an oflis patty bad.

KANSAS AS A WOOX UH0 WIN li ' . COUNTRY. The following letter written by Gov. M'eosrt. of Kansea. in answer to one addressed to him by Ex -Sheriff Wads, of this county, inquiring as ta prospects ot Kansas as a sheep raising country, has been banded to na for pnblieatioaw It will be found deeply interesting. J Banner, Lccovrroir, K. T. Oct. 29, 1850. Thos. Wads, Esq. Dear Sin Yours of the 10th iasL U before me, stating that on reading a letter of mine of Sept. 10, published in tba Ohio papers, yoa are encouraged ia a former opinion, to engage in sheep raising in Kansas, and in yoar letter to ma yoe inquire for further information As I stated, in the Utter to which yoa refer. after travelling over a great portion of the Ter ritory and closely exa mining its character aad capacity, I was struck with what appeared tome to bo its peculiar adaptation , to sheep. I will give yoa some of soy reasons for tbia opinion: 1st. The country is universally rolling and well drained. We bare nothing like tnoraaeee ar swamps ia the origiaal bounds of tba Territory At first eight, looking from one high front. frequently many miles, to another, it would strike you a a raountainuu coaatry; yet, on discovery y on find that the highest points are oa a lerel with the upland prairie, and the elopee ao long and gentle that very often you scarcely notion the aaoent, Tbe wide valleys lying between, be ing themaelves dry and more or leas rolling. 2d. The climate, like in all big k rolling prai rie coantry of great extent, ta pacaJiar for its clear sky, gentle breexes, and dry atmosphere. and highly charged with electricity. Our sum mers commence early aad oar wia tera lata. And tboagb oar winUrs may be said U last throe months, yet, during tbt tiqjg' wa bar many, rery many mild, clear days, much mora like spring than winter. I have spent two winters here and found tbesa m'ww genial than aay I ever saw in Ohio. The Brst was what might be called wel, a our rivers were high all winter and spring in tbe second (last winter waa drr. so much ao that we had well her muddy roads nor high w tera. We had some cold days, tba thermometer falling to 10 or It degrees helov aero, whkfc b eold on tbe.opea prairiea, if the wiod ia strong, bat each 4ya are anfreqaewt and of brief coa tinaance. In the more broken rallies, sheep would feet at sncb times, pretty much all tbe pro-iecuoa tbey would require, for we bar eery tit tle snow here." f Yin have vary seldom what is called drixxHag raiar, which aa 1 sheep raisers know are the most lnjarioos, not only to sheep, bat to cattle, when tbey eccng ia the eoli months of winter aed spring. It ia not tbs dry ealJ, bo the wet cold which is so ijarioos to aaisss.1 general!, o&r rains as axeneral thing are e'rce wklla tbej Utt, & ktly flowei bj a clear, calm sky. : . . ; -'. . 3d.
