Again my mother on the wide blue sea.
That calmly brilliant lies beneath me spread.
Again fond memory leads me back TO thee,
Whose gentle hand my trembling footsteps led
In helpless infancy when first strayed
To look the bright world the hand of God had made.
Thou vert my refuge then from every in,
Thy care round me waking and at rest.
And with kind soothing, thou didst ever still
My childish pains and troubles thy breast.

First lit my cropping way In natures early night
The winds will come TO oceans breast again
To dash its pillows in confusion wild,
The clouds will rise to blacken o'er the scene
And ride triumphant where the day god smiled;
The mimic heayen-the mirrored glory gone,
The varying waves will change and rush in tumul
But thus the image In my heart
No evanescent print has placed il there
Beyond the painters and the sculptor's art,

And I'LL this beating pulse forgets TO flow,

There is region Of our country extending
from Smokers gapin Loudoun on the Orange line
and reaching to tide water, embracing rich soil,
healthy climate and dense population, which trades
entirely to Alexandria and Fredericksburg at an
expense Of twenty-five per cent. upon the gross
productions of the farms. This region Of country
pays into the public treasury more money (if you
except the county Of Henrico and city Of Rich
mond) than the same population in any other part
of the State contributes. Thus Fauquier, for ex-
ample, pays annually upwards of $4,000. What
has the State returned to us in the shape OF i'm
provement! Our county has received a sub
scription of some or s thousand dollars to the
Buckand turnpike-and two thousand to the
Thoroughbred!
A judicious expenditure of money on State
account (for which we would agree to be taxed
cheerfully) would enhance the value of our lands
beyond all calculation. For it is now reduced to
an absolute certainty, that no more money will be
subscribed to stock companies as long as the Legs-
lature reserves the unlimited power Of taxation.

From Tie Brooklyn (New Yorh) Citizen.

At the meeting of the "Native American Asso
citation of New York." on Thursday evening,
committee was appointed, we learn. to confe
with the party in Brooklyn, as to the expediency
OF holding a Convention of Delegates from th'
counties of New York, Kings and Queens. w,
think the expression of such convention in favo
of an alteration of the Naturalization Law, coult
not fail to add weight and influence to the me
MORALS on the subject that may be sent TO Con
gress from this quarter. 1t is understood that nc
report will be made in the Senate on the Wash
ington memorial, until the memorials from New
York and Brooklyn are received. We trust
therefore, that our citizens, without party dis
tinction-for really no party question is involved
will unite in swelling the list of signatures t.
such an extent as to convince our representative.
at Washington that it is no feeble voice that be
seeches them TO stay most alarming and tor
long neglected evil.
We have reason to believe that the movemen
in relation to foreigners, is more favorably viewet
in Congress than it has been apprehended it woult
be, and that nothing is wanting to ensure ulimat,
success to the great object for which we labor
ing, but unremitted action.

THE 22D OF FEBRUARY.-We are glad to see
this day selected by the Native American Associ-
alton of Washington, for its contemplated celebra-
ton. The associations, and feelings, and senti-
ments it will revive and excite, must, in the ma
ture Of things, have a salutary influence. Our
leyes of late have been too much dazzed by me-
teors and jack-o' -lanterns-it will do us good to
look back occasionally upon the true Lights OF
other days, and especially upon that great and ev
Ier-shining Luminary, whose steady rays illumi-
mated the darkest night Of the Revolution, and
were sure beacon in the equally gloomy and por-
tentous period that succeeded. Let WASHINGTON
his services, principles, example, character and
parting admonitons-b recalled to mind and duly
estimated by the people for whose benefit he lived,
and their liberty and prosperity will be perpetual.
Mr.. Tallmadge, of the Senate, and Messrs.
Lincoln and Patton, of the House of Representa-
tves have been invited to participate in the cele-
bradon, guests. Brooklyn Natiue Citizen.

The Public Lands.-A correspondent of the
Courier and Enquirer, thus writes from Wash
ington, under date of January 81:
The pre-emption bill was ordered to be en-
crossed Gn the Senate) for third reading; it was
so read with amendments of various shapes and
sizes as to be but little resemblance to the orig-
nal. very pointed and animated discussion
grew out of an amendment offered by Mr.. MER-
RICK, Of Maryland, to exclude foreigners from a
participation in the law. This was of course
met en- i,nine (as Mr.. Calhoun says,) by the
whole representation Of the new States.
Even Mr.. BUCHANAN, let himself down, to
talk Of his being the son Of foreigner, &c. 1t
is needless to tell you the amendment was lost by
a large vote. Mr.. CLAY and Mr.. MERR1cK both
insisted, that the bill stood, it was one general
invitation to foreigners, to come and possess
themselves of the choicest spots of the public
domain, and that whatever might be their feel
ings of kindness to the oppressed of other lands,
their first duty was to their conntrymen charity,
like all other domestic virtues, should begin at
home.
