One Of the current falacies in political doc
trne is, that because our constitution was in
part the result of compromise, the principle OF
compromise must always prevail 10 the pro
cess of government. The reverse would
seem to be the right conclusion; for by ORR
ginal c0mpromise is ment the agreement of
universal submission to the terms then adop-
ted. A Western editor well observes
ave thought all the concession weremade
when the Union was formed IL we have
read history rightly. the Constitution was q
creature of concession; aye. of concession "a
the South for the sake Of "a more perfect IT,
nion,' But it seems the South would put US
back to the old tow string bound of Union,
which our fathers found so weak and value
| less, called the confederation! Common
sense forbids it,"
He might have added that principles and
provisions once accepted as fundamental and
essential, could not be susceptible Of compro-
imise;-their nature fofbids this; the efficient
existence Of the System depends upon their
full vitality Nat. Gazette.
1t may be said that there is now general
assault of evil doctrine upon our whole poll
teal system. Let the foe be infexibly re-
sisted, and the triumph will be complete and
permanent. The opportunity of rendering
dangerous heresy impotent for long time is
more favourable than any which may occur
lat any favorable period. A vast majority of
the people are alive to the true theory,
and ready to second the general government
in establishing it in the most efficacious mode,
which too is strictly constitutional.
1t is manifestly the policy Of Virginia,
Georgia, and North Cardinal to unite with
the government in putting down Notification
if for no other purpose than that of showing
their black population with what strength they
lean move-how great is the common whits1
power; how close the alliance between them
and the force of the Union.--Ibid.

moots, and argues plausibly in the negative,

Resoleed, That we have seen with deep
regret that Andrew Jackson, Esq. President
Of the United States, has been influenced by
designing counsellors, to suhserve the pur-
poses of their own guilty ambition, TO disa-
VOW the principles to which he owed his ele-
yation TO the Chief Magistracy of the Gov
eminent Of the United States, and to trans
fer bis real friends and supporters, bound
hand and foot, to the tender mercies OF his
and their bitterest enemies, the ultra-fede-

Mr.. Randolph is fond of stigmatizing
the Press as renal. In the history Of the
American press, there is nothing with
which we are acquainted, that equals, in
mercenariness or effrontery, his depre-
dation upon the public treasury to the a.
mount of more than twenty thousand dol
lars, for his pretended envoyship to Rus
STA. This was absolute rapine, consi-
dering the nullity of his errand.

TIME.-Time may be considered as
the medium in which all earthly trans
actions are doue, and yet this medium
stands within another, called eternity
An image which would give an idea of
time and eternity may be found in a
cloud floating through an abounded and
unobscured atmosphere. The cloud is
time, completely surrounded and embo-
somed by the unchanging element around
it. Whatever is done in the cloud is al
so done in the bounds of the atmosphere.
The cloud is rolledtogether like scroll;
is lighted and consumed by the fire of
the heavens; the atmosphere unchanged
still remains.
When time is no more, eternity still
rolls on as before time and birth: Thus,
whatever is done in time is also done in
eternity. The character formed in time
is also formed in eternity. Eternity is
the main current, the rolling ocean; time
is but a 'wave--a DEPRESSION, returning
again suddenly to the absorbing subject.
This similitude, which we believe to
be just, places the subject before us in
the solemn light of another world. A
thin cloud--a vapor--only hides from
our eyes the strange vision of eternity,
in whose mighty bosom we are riding a.
long GoD, and the empire in which
he dwells, are but hid for moment from
our earthly and benighted senses. Death
rends the vapor, aud we see where we
are-and where We have been-and
where we shall be.

rwining around the blades that were their price,
And there were two, loek'd in each others arms;
And they were lovers!-
o Godl how beautifuI!-laid cheek to cheek,
And heart to heart, upon that splendid deep,
A bridal bed Of pearls!-a burial,
Worthy Of two so young and innocent!
And they did seem to lie there. like two gems
The fairest in the halls of ocean-both
Sepulchred in loves fearless death-one look.
One wish-oue smile-one mantle Tor their
shroud- 80,
One hope-one kiss-and that not yet quite cold !!
How beautiful to die in such fidelity!
Ere vet the curse has iipen'd-or the heart
Begins to hope for death as for Joy.
And feels its streams grow thicker, TIL they c!oy
With wishes that have sicken'd and grown old!
saw their cheeks we're pure and Pass'onless,
And all their love had past into smile,
And in that smile they died!
Sudden battle roll'd above my head,
And there came down fash into the deep,
lIluming its dim chambers-and it Pass'd.
The waters shudder'd, and thousand sounds
Sung hellish echoes through the cavern'd waste.
The blast was screaming on the upper wave;
And as look'd above me, | could see
The ships 60 booming thru the tnurky storm
Sails rent-masts staggering-anda spectre crew;
Blood mingled with the foams bathing their bows;
And could hear their shrieks as they wenton,
Crying Of murder to their bloody foes!

THE FAMILY. sEPULCHRE.

THE FAMILY SEPULCHRE.
m /" the Dream. .n.l other Psems." BY Mrs: G.
l.. Cunningham.
Close By grave three mourners prayed,
When day was almost done;
And on a tombstone, newly laid.
Beamed the departing sun.
One wore recent widows dress:
Her face was pale and fair.
And very sad, but there was less
OF grief than patience there.
Two Youths were kneeling by her side,
In early boyhood's Hush;
And through their veins, in life's first pride,
The pure blood seemed to rush.
Her arms were reverebtly cross'd
Upon each str'pling's breast;
The father they had lately lost,
Was in that place Of rest.
Their prayer vas endrd;-as they rose.
The widow joined her hands:
My sons!" she said, "let this worlds
w0es
Draw closer friendships bonds.
We three have prayed upon the grave
For Us and ours designed;
1t h,ideth one 30 true and brave,
Hi, like is not behind. ..,
feel have not long to stay
Before /, too, shall be
Reposing here;-then come and pray,
My children! over me-"
Years passed away, and in that time,
The brothers were estranged;
And mutual doubt and conscious crime
Each elouded spirit changed.
Two old men, in q burning place,
Knelt by a mcss-clad stone;
One in his hands concealed his face,
And thought himself alone:
But wistfully the other gaZed:-@
Hoped, dreaded hoped again!
The downcast eyes at length we're raised;
They knew each other then.
These aged men had both returned
From countries FAR away,
Because their softened souls had yearneJ,
Upon that grave to pray.
They prayed,-and thought OF her who slept
The sepulchrs within;
And heart to heart, the brothers wept
Ger years Of pride and sin.
Together in that tomb they lie,
And minsle dust With dust:
They lived too long in enmity;--
They died 10 love and trust.

And when they sprung to birth,
Who broke the bars,
And let their radiance out,
To kindle space?
When rang Gods morning shout

Are they inbedded there,

Or do they circle air
On brilliant cars!
Range they in frightfal mirth
Without Law
Or stand they above earth,
In chanseless awe!
Are they all desolate.

Hung in their spheres by fate
Which nothing mars!
Or are they guards Of God
