people Of this state; upon which am
induced to make few structures be-
cause cannot but look upon some Of
the doctrines therein contained, not only
as mdefensible, but as calculated to sow
the seeds of discord in the Union, and
produce effects most mischlevous and
unhappy. | may have misaoprehended
the meaning OF the writer OF that artl-
Gle :-couid almost hope | have. And,
although il shews for Itself. aid he aD-
pears IN many Of his sentences, 10 ex-
press his ideas, though loosely, without
much ambiguity; am willing TO be-
lieve, that in The despatch Of business,
he has carelessly clothed his meaning IN
language different from what he Intend
ed and thai he may be Induced, on re-
perusal and reflection, TO explain away
or recant part or the whole OF what he
has advanced.
With becoming Formally ami cnDaa-
sis he ask, the question: share tie heo-
f,ie the right to amend or change their
constitution 2" which he very CORRECTLY
answers in the alternative; bat with
much less truth, though an equal shew
of candor, he asserts, using the tern
right and ho7ver spontaneously, that
"the only limitation 10 thai power is that
it shall be republican. Truly the Unit-
ed States "guarslee TO every state IN the
Union republics an form OF s,vernneni.'
that is, if state or faction in il attempt
to introduce government, OF any other
form than republican, they are bound TO
restrain such attempt and preserve the
rehubHcan form; or, if the United States
themselves as a political body shulid
attempt to IMPOSE upon any state
other form Of government than rehub-
Hcan, they would actin violation Of their
solemn guaranty: But then let it be re-
membered, that there are many linita-
tons to the powers OF the individual
states that they have Civ en- up 10 the
general government many and important
rights, which they originally possessed;
though conceive that a guaranty of a
republican form of government TO every
state, is not, properly speaking, a" limi-
tation to the power" OF a state. 1t is, in
substance, an assurance on the part of
the United States, that each state shall
continue 70 enjoy REPUBLICAN form OF
government, which, it was contemplated
it would have, when il became a mem
Der Oft the Union, as organized under the
new Constitution.
In another part of his production, this
writer asserts in general terms, that :" the
people Of this state are as sovereign,

people Of the VIII e Up,ed States, when

day, without entering into description
OF the scene. The following account
from the pen of gentle man who was
present, viii give our readers some idea
OF this spiehdid fete.
The Assembly Rooms having been
found insufficient for the accom- moda (.

from the proximity of the Theatre, a
short and convenient communication
could be made between them, Messrs.
Warren and Wood, on the application
Of the Committee of Arrangemenis,
and with their accustomed promptDess
and liberaiity, granted the use Of it for
this night. and offered every assistance

with the most perfect order. The car

VEN BIBLE.
How calm are thy smmbers, thou sweet little sran-
ger,
Unnlindful Of so1row--reg ardless of danger!
Thy mild spirit left thee as pure as it found thee.
Ere the cold cares Of life spread their darkness
around thee
Thy purity own'd not this world of confusion.
Its joys dcign'd no relish for fancv's illusion -
Thine eye closed upon them, thypiiglimage ended,
Thy soul mounted upward, by angels attended.
Sleep on, lovely cherub nomore shalt thou waken;
Thy body lies tenantless, cold and forsaken,
NO more shall the arms of parent enfold thee
no more shall the eye of affection behold thee
Though now thy fra body in death is reclining,
lhy bright spotless spirit with angels is shining
for our Saviour to us an assurance has given,
That cot such" as thou art, sis the kingdom of
heaven VELASCO.

language in it's very sentness They speak to the

ideas and following them up to their full develope-

touching about it;--something that awakens
friendly warmth in the heart. 1t is shaking the

But there are letters differing in character from
all that have Acknowledgements saved from
the wreck Of early loye-reliques of spiritbuoving

remind us that that love has set in tears-that those
hopes were cruelty bighted-that our ioy is fed

to the last extremity, two slaves escaped
into the camp of the besiegers. Soon

they seized with kind of violence, and

take revenge for all the barbarous treat

manner they made her quit the CITY, and
conveyed her to safe retreat, where thew

FROM THE sKEPTIcK," By MRS. nENANs.

In the pride
Ofyouth and health, by suferngs yet untried,
We talk Of death, as something which 'tWere sweet
In gloly's arms eXultingly to meet;
a closing triumph, a majestic scene,
Where gazing nations watch the hero's mien,
As, undismay'd amidst the tears of all,
He folds his mantle regally to fall.
Hush, fond enthusiast still obscure and lone
Yet not less terrible because unknown,
IS the last hour Of thousands-they retire
From lfe's throng'd path, unnoticed to expire
AS the light leaf, whose fall to ruin bears
Some trembling insects little world Of cares,
Descends IN silence, while around waves on
The mighty forest, reckless what is gone
Such IS mans dOoDl-and ere an hour be flown,
Start not thou triher, such may be thy own %
Oh what is natures strength the vacant eve
BY mind deserted hath a dread reply,
The wild dehrous laughter of despair,
The mlrth OF frenzy-seek an answer there
Turn not away, though PHYS check grow pale,
Close not thine ear against their awful tale
They tell thee, reason wandering from the ray
OF faith, the blazing pillar Of her way,
In the mid-Car1ness Of the stormy wave,
Forsook the struggling soul she could not save
Weep not sad lnoralist, DER desert plains,
StreW'd with the wrecks of neutrality-suspicious.

Arches Of triumph, long with weeds o'ergrown
And regal cities now the serpents own:
Earth has more awful rlns-one lost mind
Whose star is quench'd, hath lessons for mankind,
Of deeper import than each PROSTATE dome
Mngllng its marble with the dust Of Rome.
Lift the dread veil no further hide, oh, hide
The bleeding form, the couch of suicide
The dagger grasp'd in dcath-the brow, the eye
lAfeless, yet STAMPED with rage and agony;
The souls dark traces left in many line
eray,d on his MEN, who died, and made no sign :"
Approach not gaze not lest thy fever'd brain
Too deep the image Of despair retain.

Lest the mind sink with terror, and above

Oh, not when other eyes may read
My heart upon my check
On, not when other ears can hear,
Dare of love to speak
But when the stars rise from the sea,
Oh, then l think of thee, dear love
Oh, then l think of thee.

The silent moonlight falls,
And upon the rose the dew
Hangs scented coronals,
And buds close on the chestnut tree
Oh, then | think Of thee, dear love
Oh, then think Of thee.
