We lay before our readers, very able and in.

Representatives, on certain proposed amendments

his opinions we most cordially concur. His views
OF the eligibility OF the President, most Of
them just, and all Of them are ingenious. Ii is too
true, i'm the first place, that the incumbent is
der strong temptations 10 shape his course, and
swerve from his duties, for the purpose Of counting
popularity, aud securing his election; and in fhe
second place. that in contest for the Chair, he
stands on a better footing than any Of his com
petiiors. "Cive us the power, and sc tciA make
ourselves pOpuiar," may not always he true, a.
MIR. Clay has found 10 his own cost; but still it is
clear that in variety Of cases, the large patron
age Of the Executive gives The incumbent mark
cd advantage in the contest--Ihe inc!igibility OF
the President has also other recommendations. u

! This is matter about which you will exerc;sc
object OF the writer 10 disparagc Mr.. Adams in
the mndscf tho citizens, and that these were
held up IN contrast with his commune alton, and
that such is the natural meaning-then the deicn-
daut viii be a, tuit,ed. You will not, however
strain the words TO give thcn such meaning, h;.,
Judge OF them well as you can from the effect
they produced upon you when you first read them
comparing the opinion you t,ieu formed with
the arguments and evidence you have now heard
and form your opinion cautiously and deliberately
OH the real tendency and effect Of the publication
In regard TO malicious intent, which it Is said
must be made TO appear, the law does no. require
proof Of particular ina'icc. lr the publication was
unjusiiable, and its natural tendency was TO ere.
ate hostile feelings, aversion aud hatred, towards
Mr. W ebstcr--malice is Inferred by law.
This inference which the law make may be
rebutted by direct proof OF honest purpose and
an innocent design; without such poot, the act H.
self is evidence of malice. Yo.i have had all the
evidence on this part of the subject e.d ili Judge
OF it.
With regard 10 the form Of the Indictment, in
which II is supposed there is an unnecessary accu-
mutation OF harsh epithe;s, suppose it is in the
usual form. The predatory words of general accu-
saon, wholly immaicriar. Ii the defendant
IL convicted il is only OF this libel his character
in other respects will stand as fair as before. This
is the aniiqui;ed dress oil Indictments which mi:.ht
useiully be exchanged for more modern cos
tune.
In regard TO the circumstances relied upon 10
prove particular malice, they have happe ned
since the publication, much reliance cannot be
placed upon them-as subsequent circumstances
have produced them, and they will not go so far to
show the intent at the time Of publication.

THE HANDKERCfIIEF.

JUDGE OF the police and spy
(For both are join'd in eastern nations)
Proving about with purpose sly,
To list to peoples conversations.
And pry in every corner cupboard,
According to his dirty calling,
Saw poor woman passing BY,
Who wept and blubber'd,
Like church spout when rain is falling.
Which strives in vain TO vent and utter
The overiowings Of the gutter.
Our magistrate thought fit to greet her,
Insisting on the DANES declaring
What caused this monstrous undulatIon:
"nen she ayerr'd her spouse had beat her
black and blue beyond all bearing.
Without the smallest provocation
To work the judges pen and ink went,
laklng the rogue's address and trade.
And the next morning the delinquent
was duly into court convey'd:
When he asserted, that his wife
Was such advocate of strife,
lhat she would raise mighty clangouY,
And put herself into pucker
For trifies that surpassed belief
ana, Tor the recent cause of anger.
lie swore, point blank, that he had struck hhx
with nothing but his handkerchief
The Judge, convinced by this averment,
DISMISS d the case without word;
"hen IN the court there rose a ferrlent,
ana lne "lfe's angry voice was heard
TO cheat your worship is too bad!
My lord, my lord! do interpose,

The villain! he forgot to add
Ina. mat he forever blows his nose
With his own 6ngers!''

From the Bijou.
THERE WAS SILENCE in HEAVEN.

CAN angel spirits need repose
In the full sunlight of the sky?
And can the veil of slumber close
A cherub's bright and blazing eye.
Have seraphim a weary brow,
A taintlng heart, and aching breast.
No, far too high their pulses flow,
To languish with inglorlous rest.
How could they sleep amid the bliss.
The banquet of delight above?
Or bear for one short hour to miss.
The SION of The Lord they love!
On! MOI he death-like calm of sleep
Could still the everlasting song;
No fairy dream, or slumber deep
Entrance the rapt and holy throng.
fe' not the lightest tone was heard
From angel voice or angel-hand;
AM rot one plumed pinion stirred
Among the how'd and bIissful band.
For there vas silence in the sky.
Joy not angel tongues could tell,
AS tiom its mystic fount on high,
The peace of God in stiffness fell.
Oh! what is silence here below!
The quiet of concealed despair!
the pause of pain, the dream of wo:
1t is the rest of rapture there.
And to the way-worn pilgrim here,
More kindred seems that perfect peace.
Than the full chaunt of JOY to hear
Roll on, and never, never cease.
From earthly agonies set free.
:, Tired with the path too slowly trod,
May such silence welcome me,
Into the palace of my God
