THE MAsoN's FUNERAL HYM1

AAefN "hthSD+N D C+Ntbishit ~ Ht-s.
Down this dark valley, to the tomb,
We stand and gaze,-
And meet the memorable doom,
That wraps III Fae's impervIous gloom,
Our future days E.
And, while the r da inaling score we scan,
industriously we light and fan
And feed the flame OF lie-but man
Decays!
Though now we lay the stubborn sod
Over the breast,
That bea, TO Friendship, Truth and God;
We hail him, by afiiicion's rod
No more oppressed
Beyond the power Of grim despair -
The wicked cease from troubling there,
And faithful weary pilgrims are
At rest
There in new discovered Light,
His Je7oeis shine
More lasting and more purely bright,
Than gems and gold to mortal sight,
And more divine; =
To swell the deeds his hand has done
The virtues Of The UidoYp'S Son,
And gories Of the Three in One
Combine!
We in that sphere Of Love on high,
Our friend shall greet,
Bright as the stars that stud the sky;
When Fdih, and H0be, in Chuity
Dissolved, Shall meet,
Where every Brother who is true,
Hest, shall receive his 1rages dne
And Sahm'8 Temple rise 10 view
Complete
Though in these earthly courts we may
Not meet again;
And some kind Brothers. hand may lay
Our members in the dreary clay,
We know not when
We Shalt be yaiaed-tiom sorrow free
Find 1ehat 1paS Inst ard live to see
The fount OF light so mote u6e,

AT the close of the last session of Congress,
a resolution was adopted, almost unanimously, by
the House of Representatives. That the Pre-
sidcnt ofthe United States be requested to enter
upon, and to posecute, from time to time, sucli
negotiations with the several maritime powers OF
Europe and America, as he may deem expedient
for the effectual abolition of the African slave
trade, and its ultimate denunciation as piracy,
under the law ofDations, by the consent Of the
civilized world.'
&c "A negotiation, for concerning measures Of
cooperation to effect the suppression of the hfr.
can slave trade had already, for several years
been pending with Great Britain; for which re a.
son special instruction has been transmitted 10
Mr.. Rush, together with fall power, and 81
draft of a convention to be proposed in sub
stance, TO the British Government, and which
he is authorised TO conclude.
'@Should this proposal meet the assent of the
British Government, necessary preliminary TO
the conclusion Of the convention Will be the paa-
sage o. an act ofPaTliamcnt declaring the crime
of African slave trading, Wien committed by
British subjects piracy. An act Of Congress to
that effect, relates 10 citizens OF the United
States, has been in force, you are aware,
these three years. When tie crime shall hare
been constituted piracy by the statute Law Of
both countries, each with reference TO It's owl,
citizens, subjects, the principle offered by
the projected convention is that the armed rese
sells Of each. specially empowered and instructed
TO that end shall be authorized To capture slave
| Trading vessels assuming thc Gag Of the other,
/ and TO deliver over thc captured vessels to the
,nblic cruizers, or TO tie tribunals, Of their own
country, for trial. This plan IS offered as sub
stltuto for that which offered TO Us by Great
| Britain, which was preiicated on the treaties
already concluded between that power and
Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands. The
leading principle ofthtse treaties was the mdtu-
al concession Of the right ofDaritime search, in
the time of peace, to the armed vessels Of both,
cruiziDg for slave traders, and mixed eorrt Of
commissioners and sTbiirstoss, sit,ius N coICsi
