On wonder shore, yonder shore,
How verdant with the depths of shades.
Beneath the white.armed sycamore,
There is a little infant laid.
Forgive this lear~-a brother weeps--
,Tis there the faded fowret sleeps
She sleeps alone, she sleeps alone, 5
And summer forests DER her wave;
And sighng winds at hutun moan
Around The little strangers grave,
AS though they murn,ured at the fate.
Ofone so lone and desoIate.
In sounds that seemed like Sorrows own,
Their funeral dirge slanlly creep;
Then deep'ning to the organ tone,
In all their solemn cad ence sweep
Aud poor, unheard, along the wild,
Their desert anthem DER child.
She came, and passed. Can forget,
How we whose hearts had hailed her birth,
Ere three autumnal suns bad set,
Consigned her to her mother Eorth.
Joys and their memories pass away; -
But griels are deeper poughed than they.
We laid her in her Narrow cell,
We heaped the soft mould on her broast
And parting tears like n.drops, fell
Upon her lonely place of rest. .,
May angels guard it,-may they bless
Her sun'bers the Wilderness.
She sleeps alone, she sleeps alone;
For, all unheard, yonder shore,
The sweeping food, with torrents moan,
AT evening lifts its solemn roar,
AS in one broad, eternal tide,
The rolling waters glide.
There is marble monument,
There is no stone with craven lie,
To tell OF love and virtue hent
In almost too good to die.
We needed such useless trace
TO point us to he resting place.
She sleeps alone, she sleeps alone,
But midst the and April showers,
The Genius of the Wild hath strown
His germs of fruit, his lairost flowers,
And cast his robe Of vernal bloom,
In guardian londness DER her tomb.
She sleeps Alone she sleeps alone;
But yearly is her grave turf dressed,
And still the summer vines thrown,
In annual wreaths across her breast
And still the signing autumn grieves,
And srews the hallowed spot with leaves

AUGUST TOWN MEETING.

iii
Our friends throughout the State must
not forget the approaching political con-
test for members of the General Assem-
bly,. Upon the men who are elected to
that Office, will devolvc the choice Of a
Senator to Congress, in place Of Mr..
ROBBINS, whose term Of service expires
on the 4th of March next. And although
with the whole of the Senate and ma
jority Of sixteen in the House of Rep
rcscntatives, there can be no doubt of
the election Of sound Wing, still it is
important on many accounts that the
vote upon the question should indicate
no loss Of Wing strength. We have to
contend with an enemy watchful, wary
and indefatigable, and if we would main
tain the power we have, we must use a
similar vigilance and industry.
We have il from the best authority,
(says the Providence JournaD that the
Loco Focos will make another despcr-
ate attempt to regain their power, at the
August Town Meeting. Opposition will
come from quarters where it is least cx-
pccted divisions will be secretly fomen-
ted, local feelings ard personal preju-
diccs will he turned to their advantage; !;
whenever it is possible, their strongest
men will be brought forward and the un-
divided strength Of their party will be
given to them. To meet all this, and to
defeat the Loco FOcos once more as we
have already done twice, within year,
the Wings have only to appear, every
man, at the polls. This is the only way
to make our triumph complete-to beat
them at every election, and to allow
them no advantage, however trivial
We trust then that our friends will be
prepared, in their full strength, and will
show their determination to put down
this new struggle of Loco Focoism in
Rhode Island. Let no one, relying up
on the strength Of the Wings, be absent
from the polls. He is unworthy the
blessings of free institutions who is un-
willing to give one day to their defence
and preservation.

i A. CeNoRsssIoSAL FIoHr 1t appear
4 that the adjournment Of the House of Repro
sen,atives on Sunday morning, after ses
sion oftwenty two hours, was signalizcd b.
pugilisiic encounter, Of which tho CORES
pondent of the N. Y. American gives the fol
lowing graphic sketch.
Yesterday morning, Messrs Campbell ant
Maury Of Tennessee, had n pugilistic en-
counter in tho House, few minutes after !
adjourned. They were much bruised, an'
each received brace Of black eyes. The
circumstances were rs follows: ii appears
tha. early on Sunday morning, MIR. Manry

The correspondent Of the Journal Of Com
mcrcc gives tic following account OF the
matter.
Tho fight which occurred in the House on
Sunday morning, nj the moment Of the adj
lournmcnt, between Messrs. Campbell and
Maury, both of Tennessee, grew out Of the
irritation consequent on the process of COM
pclling the attendance of members at TINT
unreasonable and unreasonable hour. Mr..
Maury was one who was arraigncd, and ex-
cused upon The payment of fees. But he
had some words with his colleague on the
subject, which ended in blows. Mr.. Maury
is said to be badly hurt. lie was near losing
his life by being knocked through the win.
dow; bnt his adversary, it is said, saved him
by clutchng the hair Of his head with his left
hand while he struck him with his right.
The affair has been rcconcilcd between
the parties.
This is another bloody commentary on
night sessions, and upon the feelings, man
nrrs, and principles which have become pre-
valcnt in our dellbcrativc bodies.

will remain here until Thursday morn

Taunton, We learn, also intend paying
us visit on Wednesday. These
companies are highly spoken of-par-
lticularly the Boston company, which is
acknowledged to have few, if any SUI

pany of this place, we understand, in
tend coming out to receive the Infantry
Oh their arrival Monday evening, and
escort them to their Camp ground
We really hope our citizens will not
expect, or permit, the Artillery Com
pany, (Which by-thc-5y is ever ready
to bear its full share OF duty on pub
lie occasions to show all the civilities
these distinguished visitors may receive
during their stay among US. We trust
there is public spirit and liberality
enough among our citizens to pay them
every proper respect and attention.
The Bostonians, it is well known, are
proverbial for their hospitality to stran-

will be done by us to- show them that
we are not altogether destitute Of that
most noble trait Of character.

YouNG MEN's CONVENTION AT UTICA!
"A great convention of the Wing
Young Men Of New York has been held
at Utica. Upwards of t,Vcire hundred
delegates were present. All tire coun-
tics in tho State were represented cx-
copt four. The following is summary
from the N. Y. American ofthc rcsolu-
tions adopted by the convention.
They pledge the undoubted energy
Of 100000 Wing young men to redeem
the Empire State from political thral-
dom, and TO reduce to its proper orbit
the course of Executive power and in
fiucnce, scorning the exclusive pretcn-
sions OF the so-callcd Democracy to all
the virtue and all the power. They
call for the absolute and mconsttu-
tional repeal of the Small Bill Law
They pay just tribute to the cxertions
of the Wing majority in the last Leg
isaturc, and promise that there shall
be no minority Senate after another
election, to thwart their exertions, TO
abrogate oppressive encroachmcnts.
They approve the stand taken by the
Legislature OIL tho subject of internal
improvements, and urge the enlarge
mcnt of tho Eric Canal aud the compile
tionebf the Erie Railroad, as well as all
works connecting distant parts of our
state with each other. The devoted
patriotism Of our gallant minority in
Congress is descrvedly eulogiscd, as
averting from us the horrors of continu-
cd experiments; and n tribute Of praise
is given to that "Spartan Band Of Con-
scrvativcs, who nobly resisted the
Establishments of Presidential importu-
nifty and the guardian care ofcoUeagucs.
Those States whJ have succeeded in
emancipating themselves from political
slavery are warmly congratulated, and
all tho topics Of kindred nature, hav-
ing bearing upon the great regoncra-
ton actively in progress throughout the
country, are touched upon IN these re-
