Lips have kissed, We are faded and cold:
Hand have Press'd, you are coyer'd with
mould:
Form have clasp'd, thou art crumbhng a
way:
And soon in your bosom the weeper will lay.
Friends of my youth, have witnessed your
bloom:
Shades of the dead, have wept at your tomb |:
Tomb, have wreaths, were they worthy OF
But who will Ger gather garland for me?
Friends of my youth, We are hasting away;
Grave is there room IN the chamber of clay !
/, We who have thither SO hastily fed,
Say, is there room in the green-curtain'd bed
Dreams of nv youth, We are faded and gone;
Mists of the vale, We have clouded the morn
Death, will your vapours necessarily roll
And life, must it pass in the night ofthe soul
Souls of the blest, from the mansions of day,
Look on the pilgrim and tighten his way:
Wing your swift fight to the death-prePar'd
bed,
With visions of glory to circle his head.
Stars, We are thick, in the pathway of light:
Visions of bliss, We are banishing night:
Pilgrim, arise, forthe journey you tread
Is leading to regions whence sorrow has fed
Buds of the spring, We are blasted and dead:
Leaves of the summer, yonr beauty has fed
Winter Of grief, from the night ofthe tomb,
The Pole-star, religion, will scatter the gloom

From which it appears, that there will he
a deficiency in the resources of the funds for
meeting the engagements Of the present year.
1t will be observed. that the foregoing state
ments vary from those which accompanied the
last annual report land which, as to the future
income ofthe fund for internal improvement,
was necessarily, in great part, conjectural,) in
several particulars
The charges on account of the Roanoke
and Monongalia navigation companies, are
reduced by small sums, according to Informal
ton recently received.
The s 5000 paid on account Of the map in
December last, was omitted IN the annual re-
port, because not then known to the Board Of
Public Works The payments on that ac-
count being made by order Of the executive,
and not of the Board of Public Works.
The January dividends upon the bank
stocks, are now entered as ascertained and
those Of July are anticipated 10 be no greater
than those of January. The unexpected def
cheney in the income ofthe fund, arises almost
entirely from the small dividends upon the
United States Bank stock, and the stocks ui
the Bank ofVireinia aud ofthc Farmers Bank,
especially Of the two latter, whose stocks
constitute the principal part of the pro-
ductye- capital of the fund. 1t was sup
posed that those two banks would have
given to individual stockholders 4 per cent
per annum and if so, the aniicipations Of the
Board of Public Works, as TO the income Of
the fund from these sources, would have been
fully verified, in consequence Of the bonus
paid on large part Of their stock !: but they
divided in January last at the rate of per
centum per aunum only, to individual stock
holders
IT appears 70 your committee, therefore,
that il las the law requires,) the said sum OF
$3.50 30, be set apart, ont 0f the income

case, the board would have To- part with

for the purchase of the certificates Of tn,

until such certificates were offered for sale
land your committee are Of opinion that u,
such certifcates- or ifany, to a small amour
only, will be offered for sale during the pre-

powerfully endeared to the American people.
both by prejudice and principle, that there
ought to be no " taxation without representa-
ton !" that the people of the district are no
better than slaves, in being governed by laws
to which they have in no shape whatsoever

the other hand, urge the advantages which
they derive from being under the wing of the
general government dthey do moi hesitate
To charge some of their advcrsaries with amb-
ton, in looking forwa, to " seats in either the

| position to iGtrude into discussion which has
been conducted with such uncommon ability
but we would G,in enquire why the people of
the district Of Columbia may not be admitted
upon the moor Of Congress by species OF
territorial representative Why this district,
which is every day growing more popuIous
and important, may not have an agent, with
out UOte, but with d Uoice to state their
wrongs, and to claim redress at the hands OF
their exclusive" Legislators We would
ask why they should be continually thrown
upon the courtesy Of some state representa-
tive for protection against erroneous or de-
! fcctive legislation.

now to your committee, that the best means OF
providing for the anticipated deficiency of the
income of the fund and to avoid the loss which
would accrue ir,'n Keeping so large sum

other charges of the fund out of the ordinary
