FITS night: all naturs rests in soft reposs,
4 death-like calm succeeds the busy scene,;.
A RESPITE now is granted mortal woes,
And eysry pastime dies uponthe green.
Now labor rests, and virtuous sorrows sleep,
And visions gently from the mind decay
Y Save where the mental monitor awakes to
weep ss8 s
The past offences Of departed day. !.
No whisper now is heard but from within,
No fabric seen except by fancy built;
NoSyoice is heard except the voice OF SIN,
No sound resounds but In the ear ct guilt.
Except those awful sounds which wake the
soul,
Inspiring sounds mournful JOY impart;
sC,er. earth-born cares exert their strong con-
tioul,
And bring the joysos sorrow to the heart.
S. The groan of forests. or the echoing shore,
Tie breeze which gently signs along the
vale;.
TIE DIVING murrnurs, or the distant roar,
The whistling grass, or else the owlet,s
tale.
Now fancy gladly roams where ruin frowns,
Avoids eacn scene with transient glory gay;
Prefers unpeopled wastes and ruin'd towns,
To all the glitt'ring pageant of day.
Or else repairs to some sequesterd.cell,
~ Il haSt > n
bones
Where anguish and despair forever dwell,
Whose sponsive echoes only learn to moan.
Or else, where lie interr'd the mighty dead;
The dead who iiPd with feuds their. little
span;
& For whose ambition conquered armies bled,
Who dealt destruction mongst the works
of man.
Can conquered realms, or gasfi ing armies yell,
s. Recaifthe heeting spirit to It's clay
!, Or change theip fate where sacred volumes
tell,
The clods that sleep are far more blest than
they.
Owe who careless Of the coming hour
With eye unmoisten'd human woes survey;
Who sternly execute relentless power,
And plant with briars LIES uneven way.
Whose reeking hands with human blood i'm
lru'd,
Meier knew the pleasure to extend rehet;
Whose callous soul by pity unsubdu'd,
Could add new sorrows to the pangs OF
grief.
When death proclaims the memorable hour,
And nature triumphs DER the gulles OF art,
q Can conquests passing fame or lawless power,
One CLEAN Of comfort to the mind irnpart
Can human fame which Ikea meteor flies,
Can wealth or glory in that hour betriend
Can power arrest the mandate Of the skies,
Or check our progress to our Journey end
But alb! is death alone with certain aim,
Obsery'd to strike the tyrant from his car
To hurl from tow ring heights, to- final shame,
The SONS of blood, the thunaerbolts ofswar!
All no the tyrant clad in sable weeds,
Exerts, private scenes, resistless sway
The man Of honor or ingiorious deeds,
: Alike, the fatal summons must obey.
Here unregretted falls the w-lodg'd swain,
Of silent virtue and OF untaught mind );
Like some neglected tree upon the plain,
Which falls and strews its leaves upon the
wind.
No more shall care disturb his sound repose,
To ply the repeated labours of the day;
h., II No no.

might be levied without the application OF
force, they had concluded that var might
be levied without the existence OF force!
and therefore that war was levied on bian-
nerhasset's island.
: 1 attended to the arguments ofgentlcmen
with all the powers possess. 1t required
no effort to do this, for their arguments
commanded attention; bu l 90 not reCollect
one sentence from either of them, indica-
ting the idea that the opinion of The SUI
prene court dispensed with potential force,
with the posture of war or that they had
reflected seriously on this question. The
court made certainly very elaborate in
vestigation OF this point, but it was produ-
ced not by any nisconception of it stated
at the bar, but in consequence OF miscon-
ccption understood to have been formed
elsewhere and because 1t constituted an
| important question in the case then, on rri-
al.
The second point was one on which there
was clearly an opposition between the COLI
structon of the law made by the counsel
for the prosecution and that OF the court.
On the part OF the prosecution it was clear
! ly understood that an absent man might be
iRdic'ed Tor an overt act committed by a
mother. am persuaded that gentlemen if
they will examine the train OF reasoning
by which tl!cir minds were conducted to
this conclusion, will satisfy themselves that
they have been ms!ed by ideas drawn from
other sources than the opinion to which
this error has been imputed.
BY the common law, accessories in trea-
son are principals and they have understood
declaration that a man leagued in con-
spiracy may become traitor by perform
ing paTt distinct from that Of appearing
IN arms as an adj ption Of this common law
principle. l am persuaded that when the
feelings created by warm condensation shall
sabsiGe, gentlemen will themselves suspect
that this conclusion has been precipitately
drawn.
No sensation whatever has been excited
| by the remarks whici, have occasioncd ihcse
scrvations, otherthan the opinion that this
explanation has been rendered necessary
| by them.
Gentlemen will, if they please, proceed
with their testimony relative To jhc con-
duct of the accused in the u. States.
