taut question to be answered. Yes: ho,o
shall that aged, patriarchal giant evil,
SLAVERY, be done away from our land? |
shall not attempt to advance all the plans or
modes Of action TO be adopted; but will men
ton few things which may be done in re-

himself, and see whether he is doing any
thing towards sustaining slavery2 If he is,
let him take another course. There are ma
ny who say they are opposed to slavery !;
but VINO at the same time are more opposed
to immediate emancipation. Now it appears
TO me that there is an inconsistency in this.

to see one man there, who by some prank Of

of independence before debating society, on that
day, and who, in his predatory remarks, took oc-

creature, with that hardened effrontery which
springs as much from unwholesome morals as
from bad manners, made his bald appearance at

The death of Samuel L. Knapp, Esq. of con-

a passing notice. But few Of our writer's WELD
ed an abler pen, always racy, and charged with
learned lore. In American history, especially
that Of New England, he had but few equals. His
productions are voluminous, and all sprightly and
full Of interest, but as he wrote too often under
the pressure Of pecuniary difficulties, there was
haste and negligence in much Of what he has left.
He is said to have had knowledge Of the exact
sciences. He was a classmate Of Webster, and
studied law at Newburyport under the celebrated
Chief Justice Parsons. Mr. Knapp was distn-
guished as an Orator as well as ready writer ON
all subjects. His person was tall and command

by unusual dark hair and swarthy hue; no man
was more amiable or possessed more generous
sympathies, or agreeable social qualities. He was
extensively connected with several presses, and
his orations and biographies are all remarkable
productions in the literature Of our country.--N

THE SLEEPING CHILD

BY LEIGH HUNT.
A brook went dancing on its way,
From bank TO valley leaping,
And by its sunny margin lay
lovely infant sleeping.
The murmur of the purling stream
Broke moi the spell that bound him,
Like music breathing in his dream
A lullaby around him.
1t is lovely sight to view,
Within this world Of sorrow,
One spot which still retains the hue
That earth from heaven may borrow;
And such was this-a scene so fair
Arrayed in summer brightness,
And one pure being resting there,
One soul Of radiant whiteness!
What happy dreams. fair child, are given
To cast their sunshine DER thee
What cord unites thy sonl to heaven,
What visions glide before thee!
For wandering smiles Of cloudless mirth
Der thy glad features beaming,
Say, not thought form Of earth
Alloys thine hour Of dreaming
Mayhap. afar on unseen wings,
Thy snless spirit soaring,
Now bears the burst from golden springs,
Where angels are adoring;
And, with the pure heliacal throng,
Around their Maker praising,
Thy Joyous heart may join the song
Ten thousand tongues are raising!
Sleep, lovely babe!-for time cold touch
Shall make these visions wither;
Youth, and the dreams which charm so much
Shall fade and fly together.
Then sleep while sleep is pure and mild,
Ere earthly ties grow stronger,
When thou shalt be no more child,
And dream Of heaven no longer.

New Wheat.-During the present week, the
harvest has been in the general secured in this

it has been very fair one, for the quantity seed

been shown some heads of the Russia bearded and
bald wheat, raised by DR.. Thomas w. johnson,
Of this vicinity, which make an unusually fine APP
pearance, and are very heavy. One head quite
full, measures s inches in length.

during the present week, and will probably send
it to market as soon as possible. One parcel
