FRIDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1850

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY IL, lOZ0,S
half past IL o'clock, ms
At half past two O'Clock, p. M. on Wednesday, the
9th February, the House of Representatives of the Uni
ted States, proceeded to the Election of PRE Mt and
Woe PRESIDENT. The Electoral votes being counted,
it appears that they stood thus:
o PRESIDENT,
John Quincy Adams, 84-William FL. Crawford, Al
Andrew jackson, 99-Henry Clay, 81.
o VICE PRESIDENT.
John c. Calhoun, l82-Nathaniel Macon, 24-An-
drew jackson, l3-Nathan Sanford, 3O-Henry Clay,
0-Martin Van Buren,, 9.
1t appeared, therefore, that, for PREsIDENT, there
was NO choice by the Electors; and that, for the office OF
VICE PRESIDENT, JOHN G. having
a majority of votes, was duly elected.
The Senate having retired, the House OF Representa-
tives proceeded to arrange itself into States, and, at 8
O'Clock, a ballotting took place for President of the Uni
ted States, which resulted as follows:
John Quincy Adams Is votes.
Andrew Jackson votes.
William I'll. Crawford 4 votes.

So JOHN QUINCY ADAMS was duly elected
PRE s1DENT OF THE UNITED STATES for four years
from the fourth day of March next.

LORD ByRoN's LAST VERSES.

LORD ByRoN's LAST VERSES.
Missolonghi, January %, 1924.
"On tbs dag complete my 36h gear"
'Tis time this heart should be unmoved,
Since others it has ceased to move;
Yet though cannot be beloved,
Still let me love.
BY days are in the yellow leaf,
The flowers and fruits of love are gone,
The worm, the canker, and the grief,
Are mine alone.
The fire that in my bosom preys
ls'like to some volcanic isle,
No orch is kindled at lis blaze -
A funeral pile.
The hope, the fears, the jealous care,
Tn exalted portion of the pain,
And power of love, | cannot share,
But wear the chain.
But IT'S not here---itis not here
Such thought should shake my soul nor
now,
Where glory seals the hero's bier,
Or binds his brow.
The sword, the banner, and the field.
Glory and Greece around us see;
The Spartan borne upon his shield
Was not more free.
awake not Greece-she is awake -
Awake, my spirit-think through whom
Ny life-blood tastes its parent lake
And then strike home
! thread reviying passions down,
Unworthy Manhood-unto thee,
indifferent should the smile or trown
Of beauty be.
Ethou regret thy youth-why liyei
The land of honorable death
Is hcre-up to the field, and give
Away thy breath!
Geek out--less often sought than found
soldiers grave, for thee the best,
Then look around, and choose thy ground
And take thy rest.
