EXTRACT FROM A SERMON BY REV.
- C.H. ?PURGEOY, ,OF LONDON.
Gen. 29 c., 23, 24 vs. .
*To conclude : the text calls Christ the..stone.
-of Israel. I have heard a story-I cannot tell
whether it is true or not-out of some of the
Jewish rabbis; it is a tale concerning the text,.
" The stone which the builders refused, the same
is become the headstone of the corner.". It is
said that when Solomon's temple was building,
all the stones were brought from the. quarry,
ready cut and fashioned, and there were marked
on all the blocks the places where they were to
be put. Amongst the stones was a very curious
one; it seemed of no describable shape, it ap.
peared unfit for any portion of the building.
They trie- it at this wall, but it would not fit;
they tried it in another, but it could not be ae.
commodated; so, vexed and angry, they threw if
away. The temple was so'many years building,
that this stone became covered with moss, and
grass grew around it. Everybody passing by
laughed at the stone; they said Solomon was
wise, and doubtless all the other stones were
right; but as for that block, they might as well
send it back W the quarr , for they were quite
sure it was meant for noging. Year-after year
rolled on, and the poor 'stone was still despised.
the builders constantly refused it. The eventful
day came when the temple was tobe finished and
opened, and the mniltitude was assembled to s-:e
thi grand sight. The builders saidL " Whre is
the top-stone ? Where is the pinnacle ?" They
little thought where the crowning marble was,
until some one. said, "Perhaps that stone which
the builders refused is meantto be the top-stone."
They then took it, and hoisted it to the-top of
the house; and as it reached the summit they
found it well adaphd to the place. Loud hosan.
as made the iielkin ring, as the stone which the
builders .refiied, thus became the, headstone of
the corner. So.is it with Christ Jesus. The
builders cast him away. He was a plebian; hei
was of poor extractioi; he wa a'man acquainted
with sinners, who walked in poverty and mean
ness ; hence the worldly-wise despised him. But
when God shallgather together, in one, all things I
that are in heaven and that are in earth, then
Christ shall be the 'glorious consummation of all
things. . . t
"Christ reigns in heaven the topmost stone,
Andswell deserves the praise."
He shall be exalted; lie'shall be honored; Is
name shal endure as long as the sun, and all na t.
0ions shall be blessedin him, yea, all geerations I
hall call him blessed.

REMARKS OF HON, P. S BROOKS,
OF SOUTHICAROLINA,
In the House of Representaces, Dec. 17, 1856
On the question -of referring the PresidentV
Message to the Coinmitte6 of the Whole on
the state of the Union, and the printing of
ten thousand copies therof.
Mr. BROOKS said:
Mr. SPEAKER: I hare waited until mv fMend
from Indiana [Mr. -English). had finished hi
speech, to reply to his question, whether 'r not
he was correct in stating.that souther.n Demo.
erats would vote foi- the admission-fKasas.as
a free Statei if that was the clearly nscertaitned
wish of a majority of her people, ai w6.ld the
northern Democrats Lo admit !ier as a slave
State, should that .be the -will of the majority ?
I did not interrupt my friend while/ he was
speaking because it breaks the thread of one's
remnarks, introducing irrelevant - issues, and
squanders the time of the occupant of the floor.
There was a tatit admission of the correcvtncN
of his positien. His subsequent rematks, how:.
ever, caused in to doubt whether 1; for one,
ould re'spornd Uffirmatively to his interpretation
or the Kiisas and Nebraska net and to his pro
position-exactly as h- had stated it. My posi
tin; and the position of the South gencrally, ns
I understand it, istihat, whenever, it hl be
egally ascertained that the Territory of Kansaai
(or any other Territory of the United States)
ls a population of inin.ty-three thousand flour
iundred and twenty, it is then in a condition to
orm a State constitution and that the Will of
L majority of .4ie actual resAdents, as expretsed
ri that constitution, shall obtain, anld .the Terri
*ary be admitted intothAe Union as a State,
vithout relerence to any constitutional pro% i
ion it .a contain in regard to naegro elavery.
lhis I n11w understand to be the proposition of
aty friend. We now concur tius far, antd I ata.
ounce di.,tinelly that, should the people of
Cansas tomnply with the termis-of th..Kinsas
'brasa. act ;as 'I nderstand it, ard apply for
Adision as a free State, they will cueotunter
to obstacle in my vote.
But my friend wrnt on to say that, in his
pipion, a Territorial Le*gislature. iaid the power
o pass laws ptohibiting the introduction of
lavC.s. If it has that power-wly way not the
.egislature also-wianumit such slaves a% ehince
o be iatithe Territory ? I would ask the gfni
lean frotb Indiaai what amount of population
Srequisite for a territorial government ? No
peiied number is -regTiird. Then, according
a the g~entleman's doc trine, n Terrjtorial Legis
tiure, representin'g ten thousand people, tmay
ass a law forever prolatbating shavery.. If tenl
liossnd may make '.nlh a law, why tm:iy niot

e hundred?. Why not lilty? Why anot ten ?
