/ HE ARD HER PRAY

ny MISS NJ. A. BROWNE
heard her pray, ere passion glowed
In crimson bushes on her check
Like angel hymns the accents flowed,
As pure, as heavenly, as meek;
Her eye and brow all gentlcness-
Her heart as pure and passIonless,
Twas sweet TO see in life's young hour,
Ere sorrow IS tear had time TO start,
Like tho first incense from flower,
The words rise from that spotIcss heart
Yes sweet to hear those sweet lips try
a prayer, ere yet they breathed sigh.
head her pray: the happy morn
OF life was bursting on her sight;
And hope meath flowers hid many thorn,
And made the prospect seem TOO bright
And woeess tears believed her eye
The tears of heavenly ecslacy.
And she was gazing on the light
The star of evening round it shed;
As if it rose in glory bright
70 look upon her youthful head
And, OH she seemed Il fair young star,
Gazing on kindred orbs aGar
Again heard her pray, when woe
Had turned life sweets To bitterness,
And care had stamped upon her brow
The seal Of sorrow and distress:
And though no tear or sigh was there,
A thousand spoke in that short prayer
Hope was not gone twas all at strife
With stern despair for mystery,
sill vreathcd the fading flowers OF life,
still stillcd down the bursting sigh,
And fondy clung around the heart,
And, though it broke, would scarce depart,
heard her pray when hope was gone,
No earthly wish was N her prayer,
Her heart was Withcred and alunc;
Sunk in The calmness of despair;
That prayer for better worlds was given,
For hope and love had fed 10 heaven.
And painless, plcasurcless were al
The earthly feelings Of her mind
And yet that prayer was musical,
AS the low breath of autumn wind
That IN The balmy evening brcathes,
And signs o'er summers whitening wrcathes
Once more | heard her pray; the last
Last Tie 10 earth was breaking there;
And as she prayed, her spirit passed,
Waited above by that pure prayer
Like fading flowers, that rs they die,
breathe ITO heaven fragrant sigh.

Violence generally follows fraud. Hence it is
that in attempting to deprive Mr. Naylor of his seat
in Congress, his enemies having failed to make good
their pretensons, they have endeavored at last TO
drive him into the field TO be shot at, that he either
should be killed off himself, or his enemies relieved
by death Of the disgrace which their conduct must
inevitably bring upon them.

Phila delphia.

Mr. OSBORNE, Of Connecticut, offered the following
resolution which, being objected to, lies over, under the
rule, for discussion:
Whereas the public lands OF the United States belong
exclusively to the people Of the United States, and.
whenever disposed Of the avas thereof ought TO enure
to the equal aud common benefit Of all the States;
And whereas the present condition Of this great ma
ona property furnishes dangerous temptation to po-
Itical ambition, enabling it to operate public senl-
men in certain portions of the country, by propositions
and promises TO eede TO the States the public lands
situated within their respective limits;
And whereas all such propositions in derogs,ion
of the under which his great public fund held,
and are calculated to subvert the confidence Of the
people in the justice and purity Of the Natloua Govern
ment
And whereas subject Of such magnitude and
citing interest ought to receive the speedy action Of
Congress;
Be IL therefore resolred, That the Committee on
Public Lands be instructed to report to this House
the earliest convenient day, bill to secure to the
RAJ States their Just rights and interests in the public
lands and providing that the proceeds OF these lands
sold, from time to me shall be distributed among the
States upon just and equitable principles

Gross Mal-feasance in oaice.---Abuse of the
Franking Privilege, and attemp. to deceive
and corrupt the People.
We have collected several facts which we
desire to hold up to the attention Of the whole
American Nation.
We hazard the assertion that conspiracy
gave rise to the recent correspondence be-
tween the Postmaster at Hartford, Ct, the
Postmaster General, and that tool Of the par
", the Clerk Of the House Of Representa-
hyes, to cover up the enormous practices of
their own party, by their calumnious clamor
against the opposition. The Postmaster at
Hartford gave the Clerk ofthe House and Mr..
Kendall, statement from which they affect
ed to draw an inference that some of the Con-
necticut Delegation in Congress had forged
Mr., Clerk Garland's name, and sent blank
franks into that State--and this is termed
fraud upon the revenue, and Mr.. Kendall calls
upon the Clerk to aid him. in exposing :" the
culprit." 1t turns out that the statement is
false, and the whole affair is akin to that pro-
ceeding in the Senate which assumed a propo-
sition to be made to pay the State debts, and
then belabored the gratuitous assumption. In
this clse, it will no doubt appear, they were
guilty of the very fraud themselves which they
charge against the opposition
We know that large quantities Of loco ioco
documents have been sent into Connecticut,
ranked by one hand and directed by another.
We have seen a specimen, which bears the
endorsement "FREE, l.. F. LINN" with a
direction to boatman at New London, Con,
in a different hand, and in different ink.
How is it, that Mr.. Linn, Van Buren,
5 nator, from Missouri should be so fami-
Larry acquainted with the boatmen along the
coast Of Long Island Sound. Is il not pro-
babe that the documents were sent under
blank franks to Connecticut, TO the care of
Or Niles friends, who gave them the direc-
ton! This is practice to which we believe
Missouri is fully accustomed We have heard
o. oores OF documents arriving at st. Louis,
under the frank Of Thomas III. Benton, with
Inc address left blank, to be filed up to pco-
pie ct whose names he never heard. We have
heard also that the Secretary of the Senate
