Sailing from Father land,
Hither we come;
Sad was the sigh we heavcd
Leaving our home.
Borne by the swelling waves
Over the sea,

Hast ming from thcel
Land of our youthful days
Scenes ever dear,
Oft we a tribute pay,
Fond and sincere.
Nor shall we e'er forget,
Far though we be,
There do our fathers sleep,
Buried in thee.
Tolls we have struggled through
Freedom to gain,-
God has enabled US
This to obtain;
Freedom and pleasant homes
Here we possess
Join'd in our love to them,
We will rejoice.
Though from foreign Shore
True we will prove
Faithful in Freedoms cause
Constant in love;
Now will our vows be made,
Here at thy shrine,
Freedom forever more,
We will be thinel
Now may the God Of peace
Guide us through youth,
Make us a chosen race,
Strong in the Truth;
And when the trial comes,
May we all them
Bold in our country's cause,
Prove we are men.

girl about ! 8 years of age, of a respecta-
BILE family in the parish, had gone to gather
raspberries at the end Of her fathers's farm,
in company with younger girl, cousin,
about 10 years of age. As they were pre-
pairing TO return, laborer, named Charles
Gandra1lt native of ST. Ignac, who has
been long resident in the parish, joined
them with his gun upon his shoulder, re-
turning from pigeon shooting. After some
conversation between them on different
matters, he appeared to be suddenly seized
with diaboical frenzy, and seizing the
two girls by their throats, he threw them to
the ground; by dint of struggling the young
er girl got free, and ran to seek assistance.
Gaudrault, left alone with his victim, took
large stone and struck her several blows
upon the head and on the body; he then
drew his knife from his pocket, and open
ing it with his teeth, he endeavored to cut
the throat of the girl, which he partially
accomplished, after repeated efforts. Sur
priced however, in his murderous design,
he fled, leaving his victim for dead. The
other girl returned with assistance, and ev-
cry attention was paid to the sufferer, and
it is thought she will recover. The mur-
derer made his escape for two days,-but
after hot pursuit, he was captured and
committed to prison. He is represented.

in addition to an act for the relief of sick

UNExPENDED BALANCES.
Mr. Benton moved to print 1000 ex-
ira copies Of statement of the balances
which will remain unexpended in the
Treasury on the lst Jan. next; five cop
les to be sent to the governors Of each
OF the states, aud twenty copies to be
sent to each branch Of the several legis-
latures.
/ Mr.. Benton prefaced his remarks by
stating that Ibis statement showed that
there were fourteen millions and half
in the treasury, which had been appro-
priated, but which remained unexpended
in the treasury. Hle contended that un-
der the deposite bill this balance would
be distributed among the states, and It
would be necessary to levy taxes or to
prevent reduction of taxes to enable the
government to meet the appropriations
Mr.. Calhoun replied that there was
left in the Treasury reservation Of FIVE
millions 10 meet any deficiencies; and
that large sum, equal to four millions,
was always in advance in the hands Of
the disbursing officers; and farther, that
n great part Of these balances would not
be called for until the Treasury was re-
plenished by the revenue that was con-
stantly flowing in. lie considered it
certain that every effort would be made
to defeat the Deposite Bill. II was a
contest between those who wished 10
send the surplus TO the states and those
who desired II to be in the hands of the

Docr. CuASSING's LETTER.-The Rev.
DIR. Charming has recently addressed long
letter to Mr.. James &. Birney, Of Cincinnati,
and which has been published in several pa-
pers, on the subject of Slavery. The senii-
ments Of DIR. Claiming on slavery ure well
known TO the public. In the letter he vindi-
Gates the right of discussion uI-'n this and
all other subjects. Speaking Of the Mob
Spirit which has manifested itself in this
country he remarks:
81 do not know that our history contains
page more dlSgracetil To us as trccmcn, than
that which records the violcnces against the
abolitionists. AZ people, we are chargeabIc
with other and worse misdeeds, but none so
flagrantly opposed to the spirit of liberty, the
very spirit OF our institutions, and Of which
we make our chief boast. Who, let me ask,
are the men, whose Offences are so aggrava-
ted that they must be denied the projections
of the laws, and be given TO the worst pas
sons of the multitude? Are they proAiguie-
in principle and life, teachers Of .impious or
scrvlle doctrines, the enemies Of God and
their race? speak not from vagae rumor,
but from better means of knowledge, when
say, that body OF men and women, more
blameless than the aboltionis;s in their va
rious relations, or more disposed to adopt IL
rlgId construction Of the Christian prccepts,
cannot be found among us. OF their jnLic-
iousncss and wisdom I do not speak; but [
believe they yield to no party in moral worth.
Their great crmc and one which in this land
OF liberty is to be punished above all crimes,
Is this, that tn y carry the doctrine of human
equality to its full extent, that they plead
vehemently for the oppressed, that they assail
wrong doing however sanctioned BY opinion,
or entrenchcd behind wealth and power, that
their zeal for mutnan rights is without meas
ure, that they associate themselves lervently
with the Christians 81 philanthropisis of other
countries against the worst relics of barbarian
times. Such is the offence against which
mobs are arroyed, and which il counted SO
fragrant, that summary justice, too indignant
to wait for the tardy progress of tribunals,
must take the punishment into it's own hands"

Historical Society. THE Lecture before the
Historical Society last evening, was deliver
cred by Uiliidm s. Udikcr, Esq. Of Newport,
on the subject Of the first settlement of Ame-
RIGA. After showing That it could not have
taken place from either Europe or Africa.that
the Western Hemisphere was hardly embrac-
ed even in the conjectures Of the ancients,
and vindicating to Columbus the undivided
honors of the great discovery, he proceeded
to prove by cogent and conclusive arguments
that the first inhabitants OF this continent
were OF Asiatic origin, from their color, ply
scal conformation, modes Of life, habits and
customs. religious worship and opinions, Ian
guage, &c.
We have never had the pleasure in this ci-
ty Of listening 10 a discourse which surpassed
that Of Mr.. w. in learned and interesting re-
search. 1t was highly honorable to him az n
man of talents and scholar; and, although
extended 10 the length Of nearly two hours,
commanded the attention Of the audience
throughout.
We express the wishes Of many who were
present in saying, that we hope to be favored
by this gentleman before the conclusion Of
the present course of lectures, with some fur
ther results of his industry and erudition re-
lating to the subject Of the present inquiry,
many of the details of which time did not per-
nit to consider at large.
