In the absence Of the committee, Da-

the meeting, addrs sscd his fellow citizens
in Il strain OF eloquence, pointed wit, and
bitter sarcasm, that elected the most rap

\ James Harper, Of the committee, in a
very pertinent address, presented the fol-
lowing resolutions, which, after an clo-
qucnt speech from MIR. Brashears, were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved That the policy and the con-

the United States, have more than real

and b, their contrast with professions vol
unfairly made, and with pledges solemn

DEPAETl RE OF IllE PIONEER.

Far away from the hillside, the lake and the
hamlet,
The rock and the brook and yon meadow gay:
From the foot-paih that winds by the side Of tin,
streamlet;
From his hut and the grave of his friend FAR away
lie has gone where the footsteps Of men never
yentured,
Where the glooms of the wild tangled forest are
centred,
Where no beam of the sun, or tlro sweet moon
has entered,
No bloodhound has reused up the deer with his
bay.
lie has left the green valley for paths where the
bison
Roams through the prarcs; and leaps Ger the
Where the snake in the swamp sucks Tie doadest
poison,
And the cat of the mountain keeps watch for its
food.
But the leaf be greener, the sky shall be
purer,
me eyes Nlldll Dt t'elIfI, llf INC I've ''Htl,
And stronger tho arm Of the fearless cndurcr,
Who trusts nought but heaven in his way through
the wood
Light be the heart Of the poor, lonely wandrrer,
Firm be his step through each wearisoma miIe
Far from the cruel man, far iiom tho punderer,
Far from the track of the mean and the vile.
And when death, with the last of lis tcrrors,
assails him,
And all but the last hrob of memory fails him,
He'll think OF the friend far away, who bewails
him,
Aud light up the cold touch of death with a
smile.
Aud there shall the dew she'd its sweetness and
h,stre,
There for his pail shall the oak leaves be spread;
The sweet brar shall bloom and the wild grape
shall cluster,
And DER him the leaves ofthe ivy be shed;
There shall they mix with the fern and the
heather,
There shall the Young eagle shed its first feather,
The wolves with their wild dogs shall lie there
together,
And moan o 'er the spot where the hunter is laid.
