= TIE DIRGE or WALLACE.
M THOMAS CAMPBELL. Ese.


They lighted a taper ct the dead of night.
And chan.ed their holiest hymn;
Bu, her brow and her bosom were damp With af-
fright.
Her eye was all sleepless and dim! '.'
AID Lady Of Eidefslie wept for her Lord. u.
When deathwAtch tost in her lonely room,
When Der curtain had shook Of its own accord.
I, And the raven had lappd at her wihdcw.board,
To tell Of her warriors doom
= I" Now sing you the desth.sopg, and loudly pray
"For the soul of my Knight SO dear;
"And call me widow this wretched day,
Since the warning Of COP is here
" For nightmare rides on my strangled sleep;-
"The Lord Of my bosom is doomed to die
{" His valorous heart they have wounded deep;
dAnd the blood red tears shall his country weep ,
For WALLACE Of Eiderslie I"
Yet knew not his country that ominous hour
Ere the loud matn bell was rung,
That trumpet OF death on an English tower
Had the dirge of her Champion sung
When his dungeon ligh, ook'd dim and red
On the high born blood of a martyr slain,
No anthem was sung at his holy death bed;
No weeping their was when his bosom bIed---
And his heart was rent in twain
Oh, it was not thus when his oaken spear
Was true to that Knight forlorn;
And host of a thousand we're scatter'd like deer,
At the blast of the hunters horn:
When he strode on the wreck Of each we'll fought
field
With the yellow-haird Chiefs fhis native land; ;
For his lance was not shiverd on hemet or shield
And the sword that seem'd Ct for Archangel to
WELD,
Was light in his terrible hand
Yes bleeding and bound, though her wALLAc.
wight
For his long loved country die,
The bugle ne'er sung to a braver Knight
Than WALLAcR OF Elderslie
but the day of his glory shall never depart,
His head unentoTnb'd shall with glory be bam'd
From its blood streaming altar his spirit shall start
Tho The raven has fed on his mouderng heart.
A nobler was never embaimd

TO New-OrIeans, and see them on board
a vessel for Port au-Prmce. The boat
s,opped at Shawncetown for few hours.
Mr.. G.. having despatched his business
he was in the act oil departing, when a
mob assembled on the shore and ordered
him to come too, accompanied with
threat 10 sink the boat in case OF non
compliance. The boat was again brought
to shore, and upon MIR, Grayham's in
curing what they wanted, these oificious
people were somewhat at loss. They
wanted him to sleep on shore: to this
unreasonable request he complied, on
condition that a friend should sleep on
board for the protection OF property
I ne next day he departed. Upon his
arrival at New-Orleans, as matter OF
courtesy he waited upon the Mayor, and
informed him that his boat was manned
with free people of color from Illinois
and Indiana, who with their families
were waiting in her, for the first oppor-
tunity of going to St. Domingo. This
officer Immediately replied,that he would
send them all to Jail, if they were not
sent out of the city in eight days, he
would sell them all for slaves. The re-
moustrances of MIR. Grayham against
such violent aggression upon the per-
sons ofthe free inhabitants OF the United
States passing TO foreign country was
to no effect. The men were thrown into
prison, but at the intercession OF hu-
name friend, the women and children
hnarfl alan
two men for whose appearance and good
behaviour this friend gave bond. Mr..
Grayham in this unpleasant situation,
hastily took their passage in vessel
that would in . few days sail for ST. Do
mingo. The poor men deprived ot the
means of earning any money, and what
little they had, taken from them by jail
fees, were unable to pay their full pas
sage money, and would actually have
been sold for slaves by the Mayor OF
New. Orleans, had not Mr., Grayham
promptly drawn upon me for the amount
of their expenses to Hayti. Thus were
the free inhabitants of the United States
whist peacefully pursuing their journey
TO foreign country, imprisoned with
out fault or crime, imputed or alleged
against them, and threatened with per-
sonal slavery if they did no, submit to
the cx,orton Of their money, under the
tile Of Jail fees; by the chiet magistrate
of city of this republic, that acknow-
lodges the upalenablc and inherent
rights OF man, and vaunts itself as the
most enlightened nation OF the earth.
With wha, indignation will those good
people view the conduct Of the Mayor
of Orleans, who could not help
expressing their apprehension lest Mr.
Flower and Mr.. Grayham should have
sold these blacks.

such favorable account Of the situation
Of affairs here, that there is no doubt our
independence will be acknowledged by
Great Britain, and that she will prevent
the other European powers from med
ding with US. They are delighted with
Mexico, and the reception they have
met with. All they asked was the abo-
lition OF the slave trade, which has already

which counties contained, in 1922, 1856

last mentioned counties appears to have
decreased since 1892: for the Republic
