as it stigmatizes others in the same paper,
yet the subscriber regards its conduct as an
unprovoked and unprincipled invasion of his

but It's authors--conduct which deprives them
of the privilege Of gentlemen, and removes
them from the pale Of personal responsibility
to which they should otherwise be holden
accountable.

ron THE MADISoNIA:i,
I'll pass away--I'll come again.
TO A

I'll pass away--l'll come again.
nj pass away like the evening glow
That glirnnlers still on the mountain snow,
And the chilly shades Of night will close
NV sleeping dust in the dark repose.
I'll come again IN the morning beam,
That wakes my love from the troubled dream
And I'll gild with joy the tricklng tears,
And illume with hope forebodinS Tears.
III fade and falllike the wihered tree,
And the tempests moan my dirge shall be
In the signing breeze I'll come again
And whisper bliss in every pain.
I'll pass away like the fcstal song;
YEN see me not in the gay throng-
But my voice of love shall still be heard
In paintive notes of the summer bid.
I'll fall and pass like fake Of snow
Before the sun in its noon-tidc glow
I'll come in drop of vernal shower,
And smile We love from bealn-lit Hover.
I'll come again on a Summcr cloud,
And robe myself in its heecy Shroud--
Or shining forth nits varied hue,
From the rainbow's arch, I'll gaze on you.
I'll come on the wavelet's spiral CLEAN,
When moon-rayS sport on the mountain stream
I'll come on the soft Ellian tone,
When the winds the dyint spring bemoan.
And when in that sadly closing hour
The gloom of death shall round tire lower
q then I'll come as a scraph bright,
And fly with thee TO oUR HOME IN LIGHT
OSCAR.

MISSISSIPPI REPRESENTATIVES.

We had intended to devote an article of some
length in relation TO the pending controversy re-
speeding the late federal election in Mississippi.
Messrs Claiborne and Gholson, by the choice OF the
people of Mississippi, as well as by the decision of
the House'of Representatives, occupy seats which
are now disputed by Messrs. Prentiss and Word,
BY virtue of an election held since that decision was
made. The Governor of Mississippi proclaimed the
election in July 10 be for the extra session only,
proclamation, we contend, which he had no proper
authority to make, inasmuch as the Constitution of
the United States defines the term of service for
member of the House Of Representatives, to be
tlco years. At the election held in July, by the
aforesaid call of the Governor, Messrs Claiborne
and Ghoson were declared 10 be duly elected. They
came to Washington, and finding their seats dis
puted, submitted the question to the deliberate deci-
sion of the House. The House, after due delibera-
tion declared them to BE- duly elected members Of
that body for the term defined By the Constitution
Another canvass, for November, was proclaimed
in Mississippi Under the decision of the House,
freely and deliberately made, Messrs Claiborne and
Gholson rested and signifcd their determination not
to stand as candidates in an election which the
House of Representatives of the United States had
already declared void. Although these circumstan-
ces were distinctly understood, another election
holden in November, at which, il seems, Messrs.
Prentiss and Word were declared TO beeected! This
election was nulitya nullity by the decision
of Congress- nullity by the number and the man
ner Of votes given and nully by the provisions of
the Constitution In July 10th parties were fairly in
the field and Messrs. Claiborne and Gholson disianc-
ed all their competitors. In November, Prentiss and
Word were, in fact the only candidates in the field,
the friends of Messrs Claiborne and Gholson gene
rally not voting In 81 counties which gave those
gentlemen 4lS9 votes in July, they received in No
vember but 49, their friends in most Of the counties
not voting at all. Under all these circumstances,
any claim to the seats occupied by Messrs Claiborne
and Gholson must be mere pretenson.
! We shall advert 10 the subject again.

VIZ find the following in the Albany Argus,
from the Rochester Advertiser:

We find the following in the Albany Argus,
from the Rochester Advertiser:
The Richmond Enquirer still opposes the Sub
Treasury system, as originally proposed by the Pre-
sident The Enquirer thinks the special deposite
system far less Objectionable, and does not particu-
larly object 10 It's adoption.
We cannot but admire the honest, frank, and
conciliaory manner with which the Enquirer dis
cusses the subject. He INDUCES in no eliminating
epithetsno Objectionable filings at his opponents,
but calmly and plainly gives his opinions, and his
reasons for those opinions It would be well for the
Madisonian to initiate hisexample. aaS
What is the example we are advised to i'm
itate Shall we designate the Loco-focos as
the floating scum" " the rabble followers of
the camp?" or is it desired that we shall fall
in with the Special Deposite scheme We
are at a loss to know precisely what the ex-
ample is in this respect We have asked the
Enquirer to explain what kind of a Special
Opposite plan he desired, but have received
no answer. We have called upon other CO.
temporaries to explain what they meant by
Special Opposite plan, and we have as yet
been unable to inform ourself what isdeagned
by those who advocate a compromise upon
scheme which they either cannot or will not
explain. For our part we cannot compre-
bend, what is meant by the plan proposed.
We have seen no definition of it. Will, can,
any body give us light on thissmystical and
nystifed subject We have explained our
views upon the subject, and endcavored TO
show that Special Deposite scheme is i'm
practicable, as we understand it. Can the
Argus, !" with its hundred eyes, or any other
contemporary with half that number, point out
to us, defnitively, Special Deposte plan
that is practicable As far as we have been
able to comprehend our adversaries on this
subject, they have only recommended "ju-
dicious" Sub-Treasury!
