when the applause had subsidized, Mr. Riyes ad-
dressed the company IN speech OF great Length.
He alluded to the cordial and Warmhearted recep-
ton he had met With, which under any cIrcum.
stances could not fail to be most gratifying to his
feelings. but which was peculiarly cheering aud
consoIatory amid the extraordinary excitement
of the tunes He rejoiced at this evidence that
Virginia repuhiated the dangerous and spurious
doctrines Of South Carolina. and proceeded to
shew that by the concurrence and union Of Vir-
ginia with South Carolina, in carrying out those
doctrines, we should have no security that the
whole south would not be hurried into that v0r-
tex of a southern confederacy, which would ''be

Far from the de r and blest delights Of hone,
AID far. O. tar from each and every friend,
I'll, mine a youthful wanderer to roam
Awhile, in cities OF Coumbia's lanu.
The morn was lovely-and its zephyrs bland
Brought on their wings the perfume OF the rose
All Nature smiled in charms di'ineiy grand
When betook me to the shades-even those'
Where the bsst ashes Of the Patriot repose.
Mine eve now rested on the scenes around,
Methousht each told pleasing tale to me;
I trod in silence DER the sacred ground,-
Now rested meath the foliage oil tree.
All. all was silent as the grave protound'
Save here and there bird upon the spray,
Which rather sent melancholy SOUND,
As il adored the glorious orb OF day:
And thus unused where the great hero lay.
Shades of Mount Vernon! here beneath you rest
The sacred ashes Of man enshr,ned,
Who all the virtues of the world possessed,
Without the vices that degrade mankind.
Wbate'er on earth indeed vas good or great,
Was found concentered in his vrtuous mind
The ample pages Of his history state
The wondrnus brightness OF a soul refined;
To tn human race a boon, by Heaven designed.
Though England bled-her policy o'erthro"n'
Though blood and carnage spread the ensan

Though thousands OF the noblest men were STAT"

For though he fought, aud conquered-yet no
stain
OF treason, with his mighty feats entwIne,
To dim the course of his historic line.
No curst Ambition rested in his heart,
In him foul avarice found no resting place
A country called him to exert his part,
To loose her shackles, and her cause embrace.
II. flew to aid her, with gigantic pace:
He loved retirement, yet his country more
And fought her battles with resistess grace:
He Owed his sabre in the foeman's gore,
Mourn'd the necessity, and wished the carnage
DER.
The vanquish'd, too, found mercy when he spoke ;
For, cen though conquering in his countrS's
cause,
Still Mercy kept her seat: he never broke,
Save in emergency, her sacred laws.
He freed his country from Expressions yoke;
Like Cincinnatus, loaded with renowD,
He chose thy umbrage, venerable Oak!-
He sought retirement-and resigned crown
In social happiness the cares Of state to drown
Happy America! your Chieftaiu lies.
TRANQUILITY sleeping, meath this haliowed shade;
HIS spirit gazes down from Wonder skies,
Aud keeps its vigil, where his dust is laid.

To greet his countrv's or the strangers eyes:

 Squire Grant, the presiding justice, had just risen to pronounce the sentence, when young, intelligent looking lawyer arose, and requested the leave of the Court to say a few words before the prisoner should be committed. He went on to say, that in his judgment, there was not sufficient evidence to authorize the commitment of tle prison CT. He urged the Court not to act upon prejudice and dislike, where they ought to require stern facts, and some show,at least, of evidence.
