the then Executive Of Massachusetts, against
the right of the officers of the U. S. army to
command the militia when ordered into the
national service-have been presented to the
view of Congress, in a most favourable light,
by Mr.. Monroe. His career, marked, az il
sas been throughout, by conciliatory spi rit.
exhibits, in his treatment Of this delicate sub
jet, most amiable disposition to cast into
.oblivion former differences, and to cement So
ciety In harmonious concert.
After observing that Mr.. MONROE states, that
the Massachusetts Militia rendered highly inn
portant services, which deserve remuneration
and thst the obstacle TO the equitable adjustment:
Of these claims having been happily removed, I
he strongly recommends 10 Congress that they
direct the payment of the Massachusetts Militia
claims, as Of the other states of the Union, the
editor Of the Courier goes on to remark
This measure rebounds 70 the honour Of the
President, and graces the close OF an admins
tration which has proved uniformly virtuous,
able, and in the good feeling it has produced,
fortunate beyond example, and almost beyond
hope.

QUEBEC, March 9.-THe Season.-The
weather since Wednesday last has been ex-
tremely mild. The thermometer late on Sat
urday evening stood at six degrees above free
zing, and yesterday at midday in the shade il
stood at eleven degrees above it. The thaw
has been considerable, s. the water ran freely
in our streets. Large parts of the fields in
the vicinity Of the city are now bare. and al
though the depth Of snow which has fallen is
greater than usual, yet owing to the strong
winds it is accumulated along the feDces and
the entrance Of woods, and on exposed situa-
tons much of il has been blown off, The com
mon crow and the Canada goose, the earliest
harbipgers ofour spring, have both made their
appearance.

could hardly have intended to have scattered

AMERICAN LAW or PROPERTY The follow
ing passage has frequently been extracted
from speech Of Judge STORY 10 the Conven-
ton of Mass. for altering the constitution.
II IS rare 10 meet with more perfect specimen
Of that alliance % truth and beauty, il which
Che charms Of poetry are combined with tie
principles Of philosophy.
la our country the highest man is not
aboUe the people the humblest man Is not
betOt0 the people. If the rich may be said TO
have additional protection, they have not ad-
ditioual power. Nor does wealth here form q
permanent distinc ton Of families. Those
who are wealthy to-day, pass ID the tomb, and
their children divide their estates. Property
thus IS divided quite as fast as u accu.nulates.
No family can, without It's own exertions,
stand erect for long time under our statute
Of dcscents snz distributions, aud only true
and legitimate law. Il silently ard quietly
dlsolves the mass heaPed up by the toll and
diligence Of long life Of enterprise and IN
duslry. Property is thus continually chang
ing like waves Of the sea-one wave rises
and IS soon swallowed up 10 the vast abyss,
and = seen no mOre--An0ther arises. and
having reached it, limits, fails gently away.
and Is succeeded BY yet another, which, In rs
turn, dies gently on the shore. The richest
man amoug Us, may be bisughf down to the
hamblest level and the child with scarcely
clothes 10 cover its nakedness, NAV r.se 70
the highest Office In our government; and the
poor man, while he rocks his infant on his
knees, may Justly indulge the consolation,
that II be possesses talents and virtue, there
is no Office beyond the reach Of bis honorable
ambition

That her voice is low and her cheek is wan,
That her looks sad, and strange, and wild,
Yet meek as the looks of siness child.
For the melting glance of her soft blue eye
Is child by cold insanity:
And the beauty that once her bright form wore,
Is the shrine of living soul TO more.
And her words discourse, not music sent
From reasons govern'd instrument;
But borne by her troubled fances stray,
Like notes of the harp which the wild Winds play.
would not look on her altered brow,
Nor her eye so dim and soulless now
would not view her pale, pale cheek
Nor hear her in her madness speak
Nor see her smile she knows not why,
While her tears flow down increasingly,
Nor her vacant gaze, the piteous token
of a brain o'er-wrought, and young heart broken.
Noon these things would not look,
For the brightest Gift in fortunes book,
For she was joind with the farest things
That rose in my youths imagining's.
And oh! how oft have turn'd away
From brighter eye and cheek more gay,
That my soul might drink to sweet excess,
The light of her penslye loneliness.
But her languid eye shall charm no more,
Her smiles and her ears-they nearly DER,
For fond hopes lost, and heart o'er-sden,
Have crusll'd in her bloom the guileless maiden.
