 On the 4th ballot the Rev. Mr. Levi R. Reese, hay ing majority of all the votes, was declared duly | elected l HOUSE OF REPREsENTATvEs.-DEc.1 12. Petitions were in order, and the presenta- ton began with Maine and went on to Mas Sacnusetts without interruption or debate.- Mr. Adams rose with petitions from twenty | thousand petitioners and moved their refer ence to the Committee on the District of Go. lumbia.
 MT. Wise moved that MT. Adams motion tor commit be laid upon the table. Mir. Adams called for the yeas and nays, which call was responded to by the House,. and decided as follows:
 In favor of laying on the table 1851;
 Mr. Adams followed with another petition from 500 persons, against slavery and the slave trade in the District of Columbia
 MT. Wise moved to lay the petition on the= table.
 The House vipa uoce decided in the affirma- tive.
 Mr. Adams followed with another from Pennsylvania, praying the Abolition of Slave ry in the District of Columbia.
 Mir LaWler of Alabama n1oved that fba- petition be not received. Mir. Underwood, of Kentucky, inquired where the petitioners liv- ed: MT. l.. answered, in some county in Pennsylvania.
 MT. Lawler pressed his motion to reject the petition.
 Mir. Adams called for the yeas and nays.
 The House responded to the call, and the vote stood as follows-IN FAVOR OF RECEIVING THE PETITION, ONE HUNDRED AND FoRTY-F1vE! ! AGAINST RECEIVING THE PETITION FIrTY-NINE!
 MT. Wise then moved that the petition be laid on the table, carried uiuo voce
 MT. Adams presented still another petition. MT. Wise renewed his former motion, and begged MT. Adams to present his petitions all together.
 MT. Adams replied that he should not-.that he could not--that he owed duty to his con-. stituents and his country which forbid him. Another petition was therefore presented.
 Mir. Wlse With some excitement, renewed his motion to lay on the table, and said he wished his motion to stand now and forever before the House, because he was determined to fight the question at every step.
 MT. Adams said that the petition he had just presented was of a different character than any that had been prescnted-it referred to the territories and not to the District of Colum- bia, and he would therefore call for the yeas and nays upon the petitions. The yeas and nays were therefore called, and decided in favor of laying on the tablc.-i5id:

 If the subjoined accounts bo at all true, Upper Canada, which was supposed to be tranquil and loyal, is more successfully in arms than the lower province.

IN the village. Hodges was OF his forge
early and late and his wife was pattern
of neatness and industry. But the poor
woman was just as much pois oncd with
rum, as ever man was with arsenic. 1t
changed hcr nature. until at last, it render
ed her perfect nuisance. Every BODY
speaks kind word for poor Hodges; and
every body says that his wife killed him,
and brought his children to the poor. house.
This is a terrible curse 10 be sure. Pray,
sir, cant something be done TO- PIT an end 10
ne eriis Of intemperaaceT Such, thought
|, was the inquiry of poor Johnny Hodges.
How long can the intelligent Legislature Of
our country conscientiously permit this in
curry to pass, without satisfactory reply?
How many more children shall be made
orphans; how many more temperate men
shall be converted into drunken paupers !;
before the power of the law shall be exert
ed, to stay the plague! In the present con-
dition of the world, while the Legislature
throws Its fostering arm around the cruel
occupation, how many there are who viii
have abundant cause to exclam, like poor
Johnny Hodges, from the bottom OF their
souls,--WHAT A cURsEi-how many shall
take as fair departure for the voyage of
life, and make shipwreck of al, their earth
ly hopes, in q similar mannerl How many
hearts not guilty Of presumptuous sins, but
grateful for Heavens blessings in some
humble sphere, shall be turned by such
misery as this, into broken cisterns, that
can hold no earthly joy How many hus-
bands of drunken wives; how many wives
of drunken husbands how many miserable
children, flying in terror from the walking
corpses of inebriated parents, shall cry.
aloud, like poor Johnny Hodges, in the lam
guage Of despair, WHAT CURSE!

WREATH OF LOVE.
ny SAMUEL woopwoRrH.

LET fame her wreath for others Irvine,
The fragrant Wreath of Love be mine,
With balm-distilling blossoms wove;
Let the shrill trumpet's hoarse alarms
Bid laurels grace the victor's arms,
Where havoc's boodstain'd banners move
BE mine TO wake the softer notes
Where Acidalia's banner floats,
And wear the gentler Wreath of Love.
The balmy rose let stoics scorn,
Let squeamish mortals dread the thorn,
And fear the pleasing pain to prove;
I'll fearless bind il to my heart,
While every pang it's thorns impart,
The fioweret's blossom shall remove;
For, sweetened by the nectar'd kiss,
IT'S pain that gives zest to bliss,
And frcshcn's still the Wreath of Love.
Give me contsntment, peace, and health,
A moderate share of worldly wealth,
And friends such blessings to improve;
A heart to give when misery pleads,
To heal each ranking wound that bleeds,
And every mental pain remove;
But with these give--olse all deny
The Fair, for whom l breathe the sigh,
And wedlock be Wreath of Love.
Connubial bliss, unknown to strife,
A faithful friend-a virtuous wife,
BE mine for many years to prove;
Our wishes one, within each breast
The dove of peace shall make her nest,
Nor ever from the ark remove,
Till calPd to heaven, through ages there
BE ours the blissful lot to wear
A never fading Wreath of Love.
