THE DEATH OF THE YEAR.

THE DEATH OF THE YEAR.
The stars are cleaning bright,
Pale, dying year, on thee;
How through the shadowy night
Descends thy destiny.
Before the doom be cast,
Uplilt thy languid eye.
Lo! the spirits Of the Past.
Have met to watch thee die.
They are throngng from the sea,
From the Kingdoms offhe earth,
Around thy dying couch 10 be-
AS they gathered to thy birth:
For since tina, solemn night,
They have been among mankind,
To weave each fate of dark or bright
By thee, pale King, assigned!
Oh, fearful shapes are there,
Like demons ofthe grave!
Widespread through earth each evil snare,
They tempted to enslave.
Lot thronging side by side,
Another host see,
Things to the distant stars allied,
Such as in Heaven may be.
Ard the demon shapes crouch down,
Dim Monarch, round thy bed,
As dazzled by the radiant crown
Upon each sinless head.
That awful multitude,
The Holy and the Lost,
Before thee at thy birth hour stood
A strangely mingled host
To each his task was given;
Through all thy reign, pale Year!
Wherever man drank the breath of Heaven
Angel and Friend were near.
Monarch! thy pail is cast
AS midnight darker lowers;
Forever from thy hand hath past
The scepire Of the hours. +. S. E

LoUIsIANA.-Mr. GAYARRE, a Jackson-man has
been elected by the Legislature of Lousianaa
Senator Of the United States from that state,
for six years from and after the 4th March next,
to succeed the Hon. Mr.. Waggaman. This
election is owing to the Wing majority in the
Legislature not uniting upon a candidate Of
their own. The result is, therefore, what they
deserved, and what they had right to expect

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Extract of a letter from Washington to the Editor.

Extract of a letter from Washington TO the Editor.
Mr.. Websters speech on Mr.. Calhoun's re-
port and bill, relative to Executive patronage,
was a BLOCK OF LoGIc-the most powerful and
convincing argument to which ever listened
Mr.. Wright's speech in reply was very clever
but not argumentative. 1t was a defence of
the office-holders-they were according to him,
the elite of the country, intelligent, patriotic,
&c. &C. observed Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Calhoun,
both taking notes during Mr.. Wright's speech.
Reports still prevail in relation to the resig-
nation Of the Post Master General. Nothing
definite, however, is known.
There is report to-day, that the Jackson
members of the Legislature Of Virginia, will no.
inmate Judge White for the Presidency, and
if so, that the Wings will unite with them. do
not believe that this will ever be realized. The
Jackson party in the Legislature is Van-Buren
out and out-there is hardly doubt OF that.
Judge White has come out nobly to-day. He
took the floor of the Senate, and proceeded in a
very able speech, in his quiet way, to advocate
the BILL denying to the President the power he
has exercised in the arbitrary removal Of Off
GERS, &C. Mr. Clays amendment to the bill, was
carried Ayes 26-Noes Is. Judge White, like
patriot statesman, voting with the majo-
rity, and identifying hmselfin this crisis with
the cause of American Liberty in its conflict
with Executive Power.
Judge Whites prospects are frightening eve
ry day.
