Why did the nations rages
Why with US battle wages
Twas a vain thing !
Why climbed our hills the braves
Sought they soldiers gravel
Then what they sought we gave
God was our King.

Queen of the Isles thy pride
Homage would wiring;
He who heavens arrows tips
Speaks ir our smoking ships

Nor on the Moorish plain,
Nor on the mighty main,

Where dwelleth Liberty,

THE CHURCH YARD.

You have ssuntered, perhaps, of a
moonlight evening, out of The precincts
of the living moving world. to linger &
contemplate among the grass grown
memorials of those who are gone
The body to its place, and tie soul to Heavens
grace,
.And tie rest IN Gods osoa time.''
An appalling chill shoots through
the current of life at the undisturbed
and universal silence of the scene-the
stars TRANQUILITY shining en- the white
marble, and feebly illuminating the
name which friendship had carved for
the slumberer beneath. Here the grass
waving in rank luxuriance, as if to hide
the triumphs and trophies of DEATH.
and there human bone unearthed from
It's timeworn sepulchre, CHASTITY yisi-

We can learn nothing from the IL

Would Beauty be modest and unpre-

would the scholar ascertain the true OBJ
jects of knowlsdge-the man of the
world the true means of happiness here
& hereafter-& the ambitious the true
sources of greatness--lee him retire "a
while from the living, and commune
with the dead. We must all come to
the mournful silent level of the grave.
Our bones must mingle in one common
macs. Our affections should travel in
the same path, for they must terminate
In one fearful issue. Life is full of ia
cilities of virtue and of happiness; and
when you would neglect or abuse them,
go and purify your affections, and hum
bic your Prlde,and elevate your hopes,
at tomb of friend. when the stars
are shining upon it, like the glorious
beams of religion on the mansions of

SENATE.
Dece inter 10.

Mr.. Johnson, Of KY. agreeably to the
notice which he gave yesterday, having
obtained leave, introduced the following
resolution, proposing an
AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION.
Resolved by The Senate and House O
Representatives ofthe United Stafes o.
America, in Congress- assembled, That
the following amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States, be proposed
to the legislatures of the several states,
which, when ratified by the legislatures
Of threc-fourths of the states, shall be
valid to all intcnts and purposes, as a
part Of the said constitution.
That, in all conirov ersies where the
judicial power oft the United States shall
be so construed, as to extend to any case
in law or equity, arising under this con-
stitution, the laws Of the United States,
or treaties made or which shall be made
under their authority, and to which a
state shall be party; and in all contro-
versles IN which a state may desire to
become party, in consequence Of hay-
questioned, the Senate of the United
States shall have appellate jurisdiction"
When he yesterday gave notice Of his
intention to make this proposition, Mr..
j. stated that it had originated from Sc
rious consequences which had lately
taken place between several of the states
and TIE Judiciary of ne United States.
More especially a late decision of that
Court which had declared unconstitu-
,ional certain act of the Kentucky Lee
gislature, called the Occupying Claim
ant Law, which would overtuin the de-
'ibe:ate policy Of the state for upwards
of ten yca.s past, the object of which was
The settlement Of conflicting land claims
which ha,. been serious evil 10 the pros
pcrily Of the state, and if persisted in
would produce the most disastrous con-
sequences in giving rise to much litiga-
lion where questions had been settled for
years, and put every thing respecting
landed property into the greatest confu-
sion. lie stated that no coin,uon con-
sidcraion would ever induce him to pro-
pose an amendment 10 The constitution,
bu. he considered the causes which had
induced him to ask leave to propose his
Of no ordinary magnitude;
he was not prepared to say that this was
the best remedy that could be proposed,
but he would say, that it was the t.,v OIL
Congress to look into the matter before
the subject assumed a more serious
character, and it was for that object tina,
he determined to introduce the amend
ment. h asg 43e4 Va,

Mr.. Cook has laid upon the table of
the House Of Representatives, resolu-
ton directing am inquiry into the expe-
diency of either extending the present
circuit courts, or of rc-organizing tho
whole system, so as not TO deprive the
recently admitted states Of the same adj
vantage in the federal judiciary, which
The old states enjoy. Six states Of the
union are now subject to a system, in
very important respects different, from
that which exists in the other states
What may be The result ofthe reflections
on this subject, ofthe able committee to
which it is proposed to refer the subject,
we cannot pretend to anticipate but that
tits subject worthy the serious conside-
ration OF congress, we think none will
deny; and thnsv will be found cxpedicnt
to make some extension Of the present
system, or 10 entirely new model it. we
also think entirely probab!e. When
there are but few irritating questions to
disturb the deliberations Of congress, we

LIST. A generalrevision and correction
of the duties imposed upon foreign
merchandise, seem to be required. Ma
ny of the articles which pay but fifteen
per cent. ad vaIorem, ought, in Justice
as well as policy, to be placed at twenty
five per cent. which is the duty paid up
on the. principal articles Of woollen and
cotton manufactures. The same obser-
walton is applicable to some fthe arti-
cles which pay twenty per cent. ad valo-
rem. A correction of the existing du-
ties, with view to the increase OF the
public revenue, could hardly fail TO ef-
feet that object to the extent of nearly
100000 dollars annually. 1t is highly
probable, however, that an increase Of
duty on some of those articles might
eventually cause reduction of the reye-
nue.; but this can only take place where
similar articles are manufactured in the
country. In that event, domestic manu-
features vii! have been fosiered, and the
general ability OF the community to con-
tribute to the public exigcncies will have
been proportionably increased. ~
ID. If it should he deemed cxpedient

to the position of additional duties, it
