The Bill authorizing the President to raise and equip
o body Of mounted volunteers for the defence OF the
northwestern frontier has passed both houses Of een-
gress. Before this time 1t has doubtless received the
signature of tho executive, and been put in process Of
execution.

The whole number is TO be diyidednt six companies

the friends of the in the House, concurred u
the reduction from the necessity of the case than
from real appreciation Of the change.

When Hope's sweet ray with lustre CLEANS,
And sheds on man her cheering beams,
She sooths to rest his aching heart,
And bids perplexing fears depart.
In sorrows darl, Responding hour,
When clouds of care around US low'r,
This heavenly messenger appears,
To soothe our griefs, 10 dry our tears.
When, far from home and friends we stray,
Its beacon guides our way,
Yet, bids us soar from earth to heav,n,
That peaceful home, which God has giv'n.
In sickness, Hope is ever NIGH
To wipe the tear from sorrows eve;
Her cheering beams she often lends,
In every trying hour befriends.
o, tis balm that heals the wound
Which in the sinking heart is found;
1t is star that points the way,
For weary souls that go astray~
When on the foaming ocean, toss'd,
When tempests howl, and all seems lost, 81
This sslovely Star of Hope' will rise,
VIII hush mans fears, suppress his signs.
The Christians hopes far more bright,
Which neither storms death can bligh;
His hopes fasten'd on the skies,
From whence his comforts all arise
Sweet Hope thou e,nfes.sf and friend,
Thy cheering presence ever lend,
Guide weary pilgrims to that Shore
Where perfect bliss dwells eyernore.

closes a review of Mr.. Clay's tariff speech-in
which the failacy his reasoning is ably expose4
by the following renarks
''To us it is matter of deep regret, that under
such circumstances, Mr.. Clay, instead of employ
ing his influence for conciiattlon. brought for
ward this agitating subject in precisely the mos
offensive and most useless form which could have
been devised. What need was there of tw
months debate, upon an abstract proposition Of
no practical utility 1.-The position of Mr., CLAY
when he entered the Senate put it in his power to
confer splendid favor upon the country, and
ensure its gratitude. Those advantages he has
thrown away. His present course may secure
Applause of interested men. But let him remem-
Der, that if any man of political eminence and
influence shall ever push party strife so far IL
our beloved country to terminate in that pollti
|cal catastrophe most of all to be deplored; upon
the head of that man, will the execratiods OF the

INVOCATION TO WAR.
Cease! o cease the hostile strain,
Let the sound of war no more
Roll along the embattled plain,
Or mingle with the oceans roar.
From the field of blood and woe
Pity turns her fearful eye:
There the mother bending low
Caught her sons expiring sigh,
Here the maiden drops a tear
On her dying lovers cheek:
Earth's cold bosom is bis bier
And his knell the dying shrek.
Hark the deep oespairing wall
From that soldier as he dies:
Fancy bore upon the gale
His widows and his orphans cries.
Is this glory? this the field
Whence unfading laurels rise?
Can this scene triumph yield
For which our shouts should rend the skies!
Ask of HIM whose eye no more
Days effulgent orb will view
If the HETEROGENEOUS roar
Can the scenes of life renewi
Cease, then, cease the hostile strain:
Let the sound of war no more
Roll along the embattled plain
Or mingie with the oceans roar.
