spirits, 1ith June, 1919.
Mr. babes. no more IN behold We,
Little think ye how he we once loy'd,
Your father who oft did enfold ye,
With all APPARENT e'er prov'd,
How with many pang he is saddened,
How many tear he has shed,
For the eight human blossoms that gladdened
His path, and his table, and bed.
None knows what fond parent smothers,
Save he who parent has been,
Who once more in his daughters, their mothers,
In his boys has his own image seen.
And who-can finish my story
Has seen them all shrink from his grasp;
Departed the crown of his glory,
No wife, and no children TO clasp
BY all the dear names have utter'd,
BY all the most sacred caresses,
By the froiicsome nothngs have mutter'd
In mood that sheds tears while it blesses;
BY the kisses SO fond have given,
BY the plump little arms cleaying Irvine,
By the bright eye, whose language was heaven,
BY the rose on the cheek pressed to mine,
BY its warmth that seemed pregnant with spirit,
BY the little feet's fond interlscing,
While others pressed forward to inherit
The place of the one thus embracing;
By the breast with what pleasure was troubled,
Since no words were to speak it avaling;
Till the bliss of the heart was redoubled
As in smiles ON the lips, twas exhaling;
BY the girl who to sleep when consign'd,
The promised kiss still recolected:
And no sleep on her pillow could find,
IL her fathers farewell were neglected;
Who asked me when infancy's terrors
Assad her, to sit by her bed;
And for the past days little errors
On my cheek tears ofpenitence shed
BY those innocent tears Of repentance,
More pure cen than smiles without sin,
Since they mark with what delicate sentence
Childhood's conscience pronounces within
BY the dear little forms, one by one,
Some in beds closely coupled half-sleeping,
While the cribb'din infant nestled alone
Whose heads at my coming all peeping,
Betrayed that the pulse of each heart
OF my feets stealing fall knew the speech;
While all would not let me depart
Till the kiss was bestowed upon each;
By the boy, who when walking and musing,
And thinking myself quite alone,
Would follow the path was choosing
And thrust his dear hand in my own;
(Joy more welcome because Unexpectedly
By all this fond store of delights,
Which in sullen mood, had neglected,
Every curse with which Heaven requites,
Were never sufficient for crushing
A churI so malgn and hard-hearted,
But by the warm tears that are gushing,
AS think of the joys that are parted,
were ye nut as the Ia . that Az t"tnS'nt5
On the waves of some clear haunted stream.
Were ye not as the stars that are sparkling
Nights armament dark without them
My forebodings then hear by each one
OF the dear dreams thro' which have Travelled
The cup Of enjoyment from none
Can take, till the spells, one by one,
Which hare zvithef-,d ne az be 1sarraueLpd

sir, | sincerely believe do no more than
express the sentiments and feelings of
vast majority of that people ; and, en-
trusted, as am, with their memorial to
Congress, it is my duty to represent
them truly, and state those feelings and

Mr. President, cannot close my OBJ
servations without again calling the at

duty on foreign manufactures for the
purpose Of protecting domestic, be united
with one for establishing uniform sya-

as is done in the present instance. In
such manner, various interests, supports
and opposition, might all be brought into
operation at once but in manner not
the most happily calculated for the in.
vestigation of truth and correctness of
decision. The tendency. if not the de,
sign, of this union of subjects, is, to in.
duce man to give up measure which
he sanctions and is anxious to promote,
or else give up an opinion, which in his
conscience he believes to be right, for the
sake of obtaining his object.
! he proposed amendment presents to
the advocates of tie Maine bill this plain
proposition IF you will DO what you
beteve to be wrong, we will do what all
admit to be right; and we cannot con.
sent to do it, in this particular case, on
any other terms. The answer to such a
proposition is obvious. l respectfully
appeal to the candor of honorable gentle
men, whether any question ought to be
associated and embarrassed in this man.

the independence Of legislation. or render
the avenues to truth more direct and
plain. Maine, in her application to
Congress, stands in no need OF aid from
Missouri. 1t is Missouri that leans on
Name for support. 1t would seem from
this, tina, she needs support. Whenever
the Missouri question shall come regular
ly under discussion, my sentiments shall
be expressed till then, 1 am silent in
relation to it. But should l, for any
reason be opposed to the admission Of
Missouri, or be unwilling TO authorize
her to make constitution OF the un.
restricted kind presented to US in this

also strong objection, in my mind, to
the union of the two subjects. ! hope,

instructions to restore it to its original
form, will prevail.

men were to be sent to snccour Morillo.--
The day before Yesterday 2ooo men enter

Guards attempted to oppose their entrance.
The result was that the commander Of the
guards and the centinel were shot by the
approaching troops. On their entering the
town they disarned the Marine Guards,
took the captain general of marines prso-
ner, and proceeded for this place but the
ships of war in the bay having learnt what
had taken place at Isla, sent about 400 Ma
rine soldiers and officers to the Corta Dn-
ra,''* who, on the approach of the lnsur-
gents, fred on them from the Fort and Kill
led about thirteen on the spot.
The troops then retired to the lsla, and
then the commander "a coloneD issued
proclamation styling themselves the advance
guard of the Constitutional Army -
Other commanders, it is said, have gone
with their respective divisions. which con-
sist OF the whole OF The army OF the expedi-
