Mr. Wise, who then modified iS5snend-

tion instead of substitute for Mr. Jarvis's
modified resolution.
Mr. Bouldin then made few additional
remarks on the subject, and concluded by
an earnest hope thatthe abolitionists would
pause ere they proceeded farther in their
attempts to break down the bulwark Of the
constitution, and bring on civil war upon
the country.
Mr. Pickens asked, if this subject was
the order of the day?
The chair said, the resolution was in
order till one o'clock, and until then the

Mr. Pickens alluded to the attacks that
had been made upon him, in reference to
his course few weeks ago on this sub
ject, and reprobated it. He then went on
to describe the power possessed by the alb
olitionists Of the north, which he main
tanned to be greater than was generally
imagined. In New York, where all par.
tieswere almost equally>divided, between
the artimasonic party, the whig party, and
the regency party, as he termed it, they al
ready held the balance of power; and this
time throughout the northern states. Mr.

MFR Carnbreleng moved the order of the

The house determined to proceed to the

The engrossed bill to extend the char

CONGRESSIONAL.
From the N. Y. Spectator.

In the House of Representatives on
Monday, (Jan 49, being petition day, an
extraordinary number were presented,
from all parts ofthecountry, many ofwhich
were for the abolition Of slavery in the
District of Columbia, Upon the present
alton of each of these, a motion was made
that the petition be not acknowledgement
ly BY Mr. Hammond of South Carolina,
and some by Mr. Glascock of Georgia,
and this was invariably met by motion
to lay the former motion on the table from
Mr. Lee of New-York, which was as uni
formly agreed to by large majority.
Mr. Lee explained his motive, which
was simply to prevent long and exciting
discussion, which would consume the
whole day, and thus defeat the main pur-
pose of the day, which was the reception
of petitions He wished it to be distinctly
understood that he was in favor ofreceiv-
ing all petitions the language of which
was decorous and desired only to postpone
the consideration of Mr. Hammond's mo-
tons until the next day.
Ajoint resolution of the general assem-.
bly, ofthe state of Indiana was presented
requesting the representatives and instruct
ing the senators from that state to oppose
the admission of Michigan into the Union
unless the people thereof shall acknowl
edge the northern boundary of Indiana
and also to unite with the senators anc
representatives from Ohio in their endeav
ors to obtain permanent establishment o
the said boundary.
A resolution was adopted instructins
the post-ofice committee to inquire into
the expediency of changing the rates o
postage; and another instructing the com
mittee on commerce as to causing a sur
vey to be made of the coast of lakes Onta
rio and Erie and the river St. Lawrence.
In the Senate 90 Tuesday, the follow
, ing extraordinary application was present
ed in relation to the late fire in N. York.
Mr. McKEAN presented the petition G
sundry citizens ofSchuylkill county, Penn
setting forth that the property consume

To all teachers who may use this book,

following suggestions:
/. Communicate instruction as much as

lustrate till your scholars understand you.
2. Encourage them to answer you as
much as possible in their own words; and
not to refrain from giving an answer for fear
} that they will make a mistake. Teach them
TO be willing to discover their mistakes, in
+ order that they may be corrected.
3. Add as many appropriate questions as
. you can, addressed to the judgment and
conscience Of each Of your scholars.
e 4. As it is believed that the best knowE
: edge Of the Bible is derived from studying
7 it IN course, the plan Of selected lessons,

e might me made, is permanent and is deem

FIRST LOVE.

BY ,. G. McABE.
There is thought, still beautiful though years have

Which ,stirs the wave of memory, and wakes her
wonted song
Which rustles mid the hearts dead flowers like mid
nights mournfu breeze,
And doye-lke spreads its soothing wing DER PASSIONS

No crime can dim its purity-no cloud obscure its ray
But like tine temples altar light, its seapy beams will

All sweety lowering DER the soul, like spirit from

early love.
When years have wrinkled DER his brow, and fur
rows traced his cheek.
And his once glad voice is trembling now in lapses
faint and weak,
How thoughtful in his glance, as on his slowly rolling
tears,
There floats along tha, fairy form he loved in Boy
hoods years.
And then-O then, that heart Qike harp hung up in
ruined hail.
Untouched, save when the nightwinds sweep along
the Wondering wall,
I, gives wild tone from chords, the pilgrim lone
to tell,
Though desolate it still can yield to meodys swee
spell.
Oh, cast him the stormy sea, when Death rides on
the surge,
And sea-nymphs chant around his head melancholy
drge,
While struggling with the giant waves, from thei,
embrace to flee,
Tha! ov'd ones voice is whispering of halls beneath
the sea,
As far down he sweetly sinks, and pillows DER him
foam,
thousand phanases appear, and DER hs vision
come,
But one will keep its vigil, there, though storm and
tempests sweep,
UnInoyed, though burst upon by all the pillows deep
Go place him in the battles front, where death and
carnage meet.
And his country. flag unsullied in his warrior wind

When from bis heart is oozng fast the darlly purple
tide,
And vctory's shout moment fills his dying eye with
pride,
The wild and lingering look he casts as heavens
