E5m the Albany Daily .aip-riiser Of April S.

Interesting Repor-Ry extra exertion, enabled
this day to lay before our readers the report made last
evening by the committee in the Assembly, appointed to
investigate the Morgan affair." 1t is interesting docu.
en and will speak for itself II contains but few facts
that have not heretofore published, they have from
time TO time appeared in the public journals.
Should the course recommended by the committee be
adopted. more thorough investigation will be had In
the mean time we do hope that the unlimited denuncia-
tons Of the innocent well the guilty which have gone
forth from certain quarters will for the future Lee
the guilty be punished but let not the innocent be pro.
scribed Such course not calculated promote The
ends OF justice while creates schsms in neghborbouds

ltNgs ON THE DEATH OF A DAUGHTER.

IT'S o'er-in that long sigh she past
rh' enfranchsed spirit sosrs at last!
and now gaze with fearless eye
On what to view was agony,
That painting heart is tranquil now,
and Heavily calm that rutfled brow,
And those pale lips which feebly stroye
To force one parting smile Of love,
Retain it yet-soft placid. mild.
AS when it graced my living Child
oh have watch'd with fondest care,
To see my opening Aow'ret blow,
And felt the Joy which parents share,
The pride which fathers only know.
And have sat the long, long night,
And mark d that tender flower decay:
Not torn abruptly from the sight,
But slowly, sadly waste away!
The spoiler came. yet paused as though
So meek victim CHECKED his arm,
Half gave, and half withheld the blow.
As forced to strike, yet 10th to harm.
we saw that fair cheeks fading bloom,
The ceaseless canker worm consume,
And gazed on hspelessly,
Till the mute suffering pictured there
Wrng from fathers lips prayer.
Oh God !--the prayer his child might die.
Az, from his llps--the rebel heart,
Fen then refused to bear its part.
But the sad conflicts past--',is Ger.
That gentle bosom throbs no more!
The spirits feed-through realms of lghs
Faiths eagle glance pursues her fight
10 other worlds, to happier skies;
Hope DRIES the tears which sorrow weepeth,
No mortal sound the voice which cries,
"The damse 10 not dead, hu, sleepe.h"

REPORT.


Mr.. Granger from the select committee TO whom
was referred the petitions from our western coun.
ties, IN relation to the forcible abduction of one
William Morgan, citizen of this state, reports
That these petitions are signed by many highly
respectable committees, who have been appointed
on behalf of their fellow citizens to ascertain the
facts connected with this most fragrant violation
of the rights Of citizen, by which he has been de-
prived Of liberty, if not of life.
These petitions SCI forth that on the 18th t|ay
OF September last, the said William Morgan was,
ty eoics of criminal process, taken from The village
OF Batavia, in the county Of Gennessee, to Canaan
daigua, in the county of Ontario; that upon exam.
nation before magistrate, the said Morgan was
discharged and he was subsequently, and unon
the same day arrested upon demand against him,
upon which judgment was obtained, and he confined
within the Jail OF the county of Ontario that on
the evening OF the 10th of September, certain per
sons who had been previously engaged in procuring
the seizure of Morgan at Batavia and in Ills subse
quent removal to and confinement at Canandairua.
discharged the debt for which he had been commit
ted, and caused him to be liberated from prison
That on leaving the prison, the said Morgan was
violently seized, and against his consent forced
INTO carriage which was rapidly driven from said
village OF eananda'gua, since which time no GER.
tam information has. been obtained concerning him
and that with this deprivation Of liberty are con,
nected many circumstances which create belief
tnat he has been deprived Of life. The foregoing
averments are embraced in all the petitions be
fore the committee.
4 portion Of the petitioners further represen,
that said Morgan was conveyed to the Niagara
frontier, where they aege that he was murdered
on the night of the 18th of September last: and
; they all JOIN in the belief that the conspirac,
against this citizen was extended through seyera

The Salem Register speaks in high terms of a
new mode of generating steam, and its application
to machinery. invented by Mr.. Dixon. Instead
of boiler there is cylindrical vessel Of cast iron
two feet in length, one foot IN external diameter
and about two inches in thickness which is called
the Retort. This Retort stands in an air furnace
and is surrounded with the fuel, which is Of coal
In this Netort the steam is generated exactly a.
fast as it is wanted.-This is effected by fore,
pump, worked by the machinery, which forces tn,
water, with an air vessel, similar to that of com
mon fire engine From this air vessel the waite
is conveyed into the Retcrt, where, through tub
perforated with nnunerabie small holes, it is dis
persed in the form of mist, and instantly convere,
into steam In order to set the machine in mo
ton, there is another force pump, worked by hand
a few strokes of which force sufficient quantit
of water into the Retort to give the first impuls
to the machinery. boat, to which the machner
vas applied, was propelled at the rate Of six mile
an hour.
