And point the better path 10 man.

Heavens envoy spirits gliding came,
and III awhile devotion's flame.
But all teo bright those spirits shene,
For when rh-y heavens behest had given,
And up again their riebtness gone,
With dire confusion man was riven.
Too sudden light the soul amazed,
Which sin too long had da H. ned DER;
The answering fires first strongly biazeu,
Then sunk again 10 sin much more
So lichtning's CLEAN in darkrned night
: Too vivid shows each thing a,onnd-
Awhile e'ercharged with blending light
Then left in dai kness more profound.
Heaven sorrowing saw the sad relapse,
Ard straight essaye another plan
To save from crime and dire mishaps,
And guide the wasd'ring heart of man.
To accnan was the task assigned,
To ahom heavens s2iris were transferred,
And now mellowed light we fna.
And truth With sweet persuasons heard.
That blInding light which spirits wore,
Comes 20 tened through dear woman's eye;

But, man 10 guide, Is ever nigh.
Now hriChrs the path that leads above,
And darkenrd hearts 10 light arr gwen;
With ang els light and woman's love,
Man sees and feels his way To heaven.

and believed they had voted, for Represen-
tatives to fill only that portion Of the term
anterior to the regular November election,
They did not intend the election Of Messrs,
Claiborne and Gholson for longer peri
cd; and the people voted in July through
out the State, with the full understanding
that, at the regular election in November,
they were again to elect their Representa-
tives tothe 25h Congress.
In proof OF these assertions, offer to
the committee, LIST. The votes cast for
Representatives to Congress at the regu-
lar November election, the largest ever
polled Tor those officers in the State, and
very considerably greater than that poll
ed in July. This vote is direct asser-
ton by the people Of their right, at the
general election in November last, to
choose Representatives to the 25th Con-
gress; and is an equally direct denial of
assertion that they had, in July previous,
elected members for the whole term. In
addition TO this direct evidence of nearly
10000 voters, offer as evidence of the
intention Of the people, the official acts Of
the Governor and Secretary of State in
relation to both these elections They
are before The committee, with theexcep-
ton of the credentials issued by the Gov
ernor, upon the election of Messrs Clai-
born and GholSon, in July, which wish
also 10 be produced. These official acts
arc evidence, nj least, while unimpeached,
that the people intended to do that which,
through their highest organs, they de-
clare themselves to have done, and that
they intended no more. shall, if it
Is deemed necessary, offer further evil
dence on this point.
1t the above positions are true, and
challenge their reiuiation, then will the |
opposing gentlemen, if they hold their
seats, hold them by mistake, and not by
the will ofthe people Of the State of Mis-

Fsignato the individuals who shall serve
you in that body. To the honorable and

ton of the right of election. Believing as

stitutional Representative, in spite Of the
tyrannical and arbitrary action Of the
House; & believing, too, that the honor and
character ofihe citizens of Mississippi are
deeply involved in the action which they
may take in relation TO this matter, have
deemed it my duty 10 address to you some
account Of the result of the high errand
upon which you sent me. | regret that
my task has been but half accomplished
The usurpers have been driven from the
