[ From the National Phiiad.) Gassite.l
The people of "the good old Thir-
teen States," though they had made up
1heir minds to suffering and endurance,
sid not enter on the contest for their
rights and liberties in hasty and unad-
vised manner; they had counted the
cost, and, although determined to sacri-
aice all that they held dear, rather than
TO crouch as slaves, yet they shuddered
at being forced upon that extremity
The intelligence of the battle of Lex
3nston, the first blood that was drawn in
fhe quarrel, was received with the
deepest regret; in Philadelphia the
bells were rnufled, and an expression
of horrour and gloom covered the coun-
zenances Of all its citizens.
Congress first sat in the building then
called Carpenters Hall, up the Court of
that name, in Chesnut-street. On the
morning of the day that they first con-
Tened, their future Secretary. the now
venerable Charles Thomson, who resid.
cd at that time in the Northern Liber-
lies, and who afterwards so materially
assisted TO launch our 6rst-rate Repub-
Alex, had that morning rode into the
City, and alighted in Chesnut-street; he
was Immediately accosted by message
from Congress that they desired to speak
with him. He followed the messenger,
and, entering the building, has described
himself as struck with awe upon viewing
the aspects Of so many great and good
men impressed with the weight and re-
sponsibility of their situation, on the
Perilous edge Of which they were then
advancing. He walked up the aisle,
and, bowling TO the President, desired to
know their pleasure.
"Congress request your services, sir,
as then Secretary" He took his seat
at the desk, and never looked back until
the vessel was securely anchored in the
haven Of independence.
The first Speaker Il mean the first
who rose to speak) in that Congress,
was Patrick Henry, an orator, undoubt-
ediy, but not superiour to many who
took their seats on that day, although
his biograpber has ascribed to his elo-
quence the Illuminating character Of De-
mosthenes. What he said on that occa-
sion was short and practical.
Peyton Randolph, first President of
Congress. died in October, 1875, at the
seat Of Henry Hill, Roxborough, near
Philadelphia, where he had accepted an
invitation TO dine with other company.
He fell from his seat in an apoplectick
fit, and Immediately expired. His corpse
was taken to Virginia for interment.

Behold they gain the, end they seek!

The dazzled soul, but newly born,

And halls the light of Heav'n.
