Adieu, thou fading wofhG aii' ~

With calm indifference view
Thy fertile fields, thy SAMMY skies.
To me no more tlly beauty bIiIss
A singl, trace ofplco'ufc heres
Nor ean IL touch the thousand strings
That kindlc hope, or wdkon fear.
Vet ihon art beautiful, o earth!
Eut what Is beauty row 10 mcs
What the bright summers laughing mirth,
Or autumn's JOYOUS revelry:
Away, away, my spirit hiesi
Away, away, 10 realms unknown,
Where love UNTOUCHED by sorrow lies,
And peace orecis her endless throne.
i,ye tried thee, an. have found thee veini
araSp'l thee, and embraced n shade
Why tempt me then totnrn again.
Whelm not the wrccA ths hopes have made
From year TO year IN restless toll
IVc iollOWc Cd on ia search OF peace,
Aud found but envy's scorniui smliej
Aud ended but In Wn;chedncss-
There was n timc--hope then was young,
Whcn every path garden sccm'di
Whcnplcasure urged the hours along,
And life with endless prospects bc1u'j;
But like the phantom OF dream,
With liie'S first dawn II passed away,
Aud sunk--as sinks the crimson bt am
when darkness eads the setting duy.
Adieu, thou fading world adicu.
In other lands my treasure lea;
With calm indifference view
Thy pleasant fields, thy sunny skies.
To me no moro thy beauty brings
A single trace OF pleasure herr;
Nor can X touch the thousand sifings
That kindlc hope, or waIon fear.
Stil art thou beautiful, . earth.
But what are all thy charms TO me
What the bright summers laughing niirih
or autumnis iOyous TrNeiry
Away, away, my spirit flies,
Away, away 60 realms unknown;
Where Joy untouched by SorroN lies,
Aud peace erects her endless throne.

The "gcneral list of the qualified voters of the Town

swer discfeditng the instructions of his constituents
contains Inadvertently made can most confidently as
scr) more inaccuracies than have eyer known mad,

not, ana III excludes many who are voters and have
signed the letter of Instructions Ii moreover contains
many as voters who applied sign the instruc-
uonsi ana declined upon the ground solely that they
were not legally qualified Is it right that this class
OF citizens should be counted to swell the whole
number OF the voters, and also be counted AGAINST
the instructons' 1t also represents as voters few
VINO are not citizens, few who are not known To
be OF lawful age and few who are not residents of tho

incide IN the views OF the Jackson party and vet have
not signed the instructions because they are not
and have not been applied and il contains others
whose opinions have not been asccrtaned TO be on the
one sue or the other far any proof is exhibited
is night that any of these nay, all of these should be
counted against the instructions; Will they themselves
acquiesce IN this posture Of things Last hou0h not
least, TINS general list contains few who do not live
any where and OF course have opinions and surely
he names ofhosc who have died since they signpd the
instructions, be stricken from the list the names
oil those who have died since the .gcneral list was made
out ought to be stricken from it.
These are stubborn facts and will be shown TO any one
who viii call my Office on Bank Street ne xt door o

That MT Brown may account for the difference in the
report OF tins Co,nittee and the other wit the In
sruct9s deem it pertinent to say, that that Commit

according to their wishes, the number of which was
stated not to exceed four hundfcd which is a fact not
controyerted by this Committee But you will perceive
that this committee takes much wider Sc 1pe including
all who are known TO be iegatees in Estates in Peters
burg, if they be citizens of this Commonwealth and
must further add, that many of them not known TO
