MISS WRIGHT


II was some time since stated that Miss
FRANCES WRIeBr, the authoress, was engaged
in the western States, IN doing something
which would result in favor OF slaves--we now
learn that this lady is about to establish an g.
sylum in West Tennessee, where the blacks
are to be received, and in which will be com.
menced a plan for the abolition Of slavery,
without danger to the citizens Of the south.
The names Of one or two gentlemen are men.
toned, who have promised to aid Miss w. in
her great work, and it is said that there will be
np lack ofpecuniary means. The editor OF the
Genius of Emancipation says, it is stated, that
the good La Fayette gave 10000 dollars TO-
towards the experiment.
We most heartily wish Miss Wright success
in her plans for the abolition Of slavery, and
venture to say that should it appear that her
hopes may be in any considerable degree re.
allied, Philadelphia will not be backward in
making its contributions. We are promised
in the paper referred to above, further partic.
ulars next week, which we shall notice.
The above article is from the Philadelphli
Gazette So far from agreeing with the ed'
tors in their appreciation Of Miss Wrighrspro'
ject, we look upon her visionary schemesln
the same light that we do upon those of the
self-conceited Mr.. Owen. tits high timcthai
the American people should check these TO-.
reign medlers in their bombastic displays, az
do their mother countries the justice OF tore
ing such unbounded philanthropy to operate
in its proper spheres. Mr.. Owen and VIE

A branch Of the California mountains
run parallel with the sea coast 100
miles distant, in due course north
and south. The country between this
and the Rocky Mountains is uneven,
being succession Of hill and dale, OF
which some of the latter are very fer
tile. The ground is, for many miles
covered with a beautiful growth Of ii.
notify and clover, which will be seen
in the next century, covered with
droves Of cattle and sheep, feeding on
the luxuriant heritage, and belonging to
man in a stale of civilization From
the scarcity Of wood, ifs:one coal does
not abound, this country would be
more suitable for grazing and manu-
featuring than an agricultural commu-
nifty. One-fourth part Of this territory,
that part which contains the Oregon
harbor, will, at future day, enter the
Republican Confederacy as Oregon
State; and the city Of Oregon, will a.
rise on its banks, which shall rival N.
York or Philadelphia in their wealth
or population. Then the busy hum Of
commerce and the shouts of freemen
shall re-echo from the Atlantic to the
Pacific ocean. The inhabitants Of this
territory, will enjoy fair share Of the
lucrative profits of the fur trade, which
is new principally monopolized by the
British. They can also carry on a
profitable trade in leather or hides,
which they may, in the same album
dance, procure at the Republic Of Bu-
enos Ayres, from the numerous focks
Of cattle which will feed on their plains

able manufacture, with other woollen
goods sold on such terms as would sup
ply the use Of those of European ma
nufacture. There arr many other in
ducements which will call the atten-
ton Of Congress, at the present session,
to this territory. A bill was laid over
at the last session, authorising mill
tary post TO be established at the mouth
Of the Oregon river. This, if passed,
would have good effect in preserving
large portion Of the fur trade for our
citizens, as l stated before. This branch
is very valuable, and if no other consi
Iteration was in the way, would induce
Congress 20 overlook all local prejudi-
ces and establish it, which will be the
first grand step towards the settling
and consequently civilization Of the
country.

REPORT:


The committee to whom was referred
the subject ofin,ernal improvement,
and the consideration Of the ways
and means in their judgment best
calculated to effect this great and
common object Of the people of Ma
ryland, having considered the great
subjects Of reference by the Conven-
ton, with all the attention and dill
gence which their time enabled them
TO give, have concluded to report TO
the Convention the following Pre-
amble and Resolutions, with their
reasons, as the result of their labors,
which they respectfully submit to the
superior wisdom and consideration
of this honorable body
WHEREAS the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal, in connection with lateral Ca
nal from the Patapsco river, to in;ersect
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, at the
most approved and practicable point,
whether considered in relation to the
state at large; or in its prosperous in
fluence upon the trade and commerce
Of the City Of Baltimore, is the most
prominent and commanding object for
the early and liberal patronage of the
Legislature Of Maryland, therefore,
Resolued, That the prscticablhty Of a
canal from Baltimore, to. intersect and
unite with the ChesaDeake and Ohm
canal, thence to Piusburg, and thence
10 Lake Erie, no longer admits Of a
doubt in the opinion Of this Conven-
ton. There was a period when the
magnitude of the undertaking appall-
ed even the most sanguine, who not on
ly doubted the practicability of the
measure, but more than all the ability
Of the countryto accomplish so great
work. The canals Of England and

EPITAPH-BY LORD BYRON.

Bright be the place of thy soul
No lovelier spirit than thine
Fer burst from its mortal control,
In the orbs of the blessed to shine:
On earth thou vert all but divine,
AS thy soul shall Immortality be,
And our sorrow may cease to repine
When we know that thy God is with thee.
Light be the turf of thy tomb
May its verdure like emeralds be
There should not be shadow of gloom
In aught that reminds us of thee:
Young flowers and an evergreen tree
May grow on the spot of thy rest,
But nor cyprus nor yew let us see
For why should we mourn for the blest
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-07-02

Alas where is that lovely form,
Whose spirit wakes my fancy now =
That face where bloom'd each rip'ning charm >
That beauteous, animated brow =
Her smile, and look of love, see
Her step but Julia !-7vhere Is she
That form, wrapp'd in impervious gloom,
Now crumbles in the cold, cold tomb
And now, when eve in psnsive shroud,
Unveils yon hifock where she sleeps,
Lo Ed quits the careless crowd,
And strays to Juia's grave--and weeps
There, sad, dsconsolate, and lone,
He calls upon that sainted name,
In tones which angels cen might own,
Could angels feel a msrtapS fame.

That ray we view when sorrows press,
Pointing to distant happiness.
The red suns light is there,
In sombre radiance SHEDS
Upon slaughtered maid-so fair,
You would not deem her dead:
One arm an aged man clasps round
Her life-blood weeps along the ground.
