STANZAS--BY F. A. KEMBLE.

Thou little star, that in you purple cloud
Haug'st, like a dew-drop in violet bed
First gem of Evening, glittering mid the shroud,
Meath whose dark folds the day lies cold and
dead!
As through my tears my soul looks up at thee,
Loathing the clayey chains that bind it here,
There comes fearful thought that misery
Perhaps is found, cen in thy distant sphere.
Art thou world of sorrow and of sin,
The heritage of death, disease, decay?
A Wilderness like that we wander in,
Were all things fairest, soonest pass away?
And are there graves in thee, thou radiant
world,
Ger which Affection, weeping, bows her
head?
Where Hopes bright wings in the dark dust are
furpd,
And living hearts lie buried with the dead?
Perchance thee do not die, that dwell in thee;
Perchance theirs is a darker doom than ours:
Unmeasured toll and endless misery,
And striving, that hath neither days nor hours!
Horrible dream! Oh! dark and dismal path,
Where now weeping walk, viii not leave
thee.
Earth has one boon tor all her children-death!
Open thine arms oh, mother! and receive me!
Take off the bitter burthen from the slave
Give me my birth-right-give the grave-the
grave!

Mr. Webster concluded his excellent speech,
made in the Senate on the presentation Of the
Memorial from the Harrisburg Convention, in
the following impressive manner:
Mr. President, we are approaching to the end
of a long session. and we are likely to leave off
where we began. We have done nothing, and
fear shall do nothing, for the relief of the Peo-
pie. The Government has nothing to propose
which even its own friends will support On
what does it rely? A proposition is before the
other House, which has been represented as the
only scheme of the Administration. 1t is d Law,
for keeping the public treasures in the State
Banks. 1t was offered here, the other day. as
you remember, sir, by way of amendment to &
bill, and was rejected by more than two thirds.
1t is put to rest here, nor is its Sleep elsewhere
likely TO be disturbed.
The Administration will MOI consent that the
deposites be restored; it will not consent to give
the present Bank time to collect its debts and
wind up its affairs without distressing the Peo-
pie; twill not consentto any new Bank; it will no;
suffer the public moneyto depart, in any way from
Executive control. II sees employment cut off,
but it does nothing to revive it; it sees the re
venue diminished and dwirdllng, but it does
nothing to improve it. AND yet it would appear,
that the Administration il now DESTROYS that
Congress should adjourn and 90 home For
one, sir, feel that Congress has not done It's
duty; it has not fulfilled the objects Of the 5es-
sion; it has done nothing TO relieve the cou1try.
The responsibility, Sir, must rest, where It
ought to rest: and we must prepare ourselves,
as best we may to account to the Peoplv for
the disappointment Of their just hopes, and the
disastrous consequences Of rash, unlawful, i'll
advised measures Of Government.

feet as soon during the session of Congress as
it may be convenient for the President to ap
point successor.
In making the above announcement, the
Globe says:
cit is well understood that in regard to some
prominent measures which occupy much OF the
public attention, Mr.. McLane has entertained
different views from the President. But the
President who has through life exercised his
own independence ofjudgment, is too generous
and too just, to give up one esteemed by him
as friend, an honest patriot, and faithful pub
lie officer, for mere difference of opinion
and as no action by the Department OF State
was requisite in carrying into effect the mea-
sures in question, he saw no public necessity Tor
separation. Between two meH OF elevated
sentiments, there was nothing in such state OF
things to interrupt the harmony of either their
official or private relations, and their mutual
confidence and esteem have therefore contln-
ued unimpaired We know that the President
has yielded to Mr.. MeLane's wish to retire from
his administration with regret, and that ne has
freely expressed, not only his high sense OF Mr..
McLane's patriotism, talents, and eminent SER
vices, but his sincere friendship-a sentiment
which is fully reciprocated by Mr.. McLane."

The crazy fanatics Of the North are deter
mined to push their Anti Slavery doctrines to
the utmost extent. They lre so completely
crazy-at least one portion OF them-thot they
do not see the inevitable consequence Of their
proceedings"
So says the Tclesrapn and instead Of ba-
zoning their crazy proceedings, and exciting
distrust and jealousy between the North and
South would it not be better to LEI our No.thren
friends confine these madmen in the strait
Jackets of reason and common sense, as they
are doing every day.

We have read, with attention, the speeches of
Messrs. Southland, Grundy, and Ewing, on the
subject Of the Post Office Department, and find
our previous opinions Of the corruptions and
abuses of that Department fully confirmed
Mr.. Grundy himself is far from justfying the
course which has been pursued. Gle would
defend" he said, the Department where he
its errors" g He did think" he said, that it
was an error that the Head of the Department
had not ascertained, at an earlier period, the
true condition of its finances" "He was of
opinion" he said, I" that there was no laD au-
thorizing these loans, and that they were not in
strictness binding upon the Government" &C.
&c. All this shows how hard must be Mr.
Grundy's task to support SO rotten fabric as
the Post Office Department. On the other hand
Mr.. Southland and Mr.. Ewing poured whole
broadsides of hot shot into the dilapidated for
tress of Executive patronage This Depart
ment" said Mr. Southland" is corrupt and in
solvent. doubt whether there ever existed one
in any government which can be compared to
it, None but itself can be it's PARALLEL" "Siru
Sald Mf. Ewing, IL Is enough 10 Slcken the
soul, to shock the moral sense of any man. to
walk amidst and wade through the scenes of
rank iniquity which our duty has required us to
explore, and now requires us to expose"
50 much Of our paper has lately been occu-
pied withthe Reports of the Committee, giving
detailed statements of the facts of the whole
case, that we deem it unnecessary to introduce
the powerful application of these facts made by
Messrs. Southland Ewing and Clayton.

1t is known that Commodore Elliots recent
course, with regard to the frigate Constitution,
has excited great deal Of odium against that
officer. In no commendabe spirit those who
are indignant at his conduct have raked up the
charges formerly made against Com. Elliot by
Com. Perry,-charges which are probably ia
mar to our readers, and which we do there
fore more particularly refer to now,-and have
published them in a pamphlet. The Boston
Commercial Gazette, referring to this matter,
says
1t is not necessary, at this late day, for Com
Elliot to come before his countrymen in defence
of his character as brave and skilful naval Of
fcer. He has nothing to fear from the spirit of
detraction abroad in the land growing out of
the Bank question:"
What upon earth the Bank question has to do
with the "fgure head" or Commodore Elliot
and the battle of Lake Erie, we are at loss to
tell
