The following memorials and petitions present
ed and appropriately referred
BY MIR. CLAY From citizens of Cherokee county,

Too LATE! the curse life Could we but rcad

Curse of our mental stated

Tears arg there, acrd drops, that de not r.,e
Quick gushing 10 the eyes;

But oozing inward, silent, dark and chill
Like some CayernOus rill
That falls cOngealinr turning into stoDa
The thing II fails upon.
Bat now and then, may be the pen,-up pain
Breaks out resiscss, some passionate strain,
Ofsmuated grief;
Finding relief
In that fond idle way
For thoughts on life that prey
How truthfuly conceired,' with glis,'ning eyes
Some lisner cries
Fine art 10 feign we'll"

So truthfully the deep things Of the heart
Who have not felt the smart.
Too lae-the curse of life take back the cup
So rnockngly held up
TO lips that may not drain;
Was pain,
That long hear, thirst
That thc life-giving draugh IL oifeTd FIRST

Who leaves, shall thirst no more
Take back the cup.-Yet no, who darcs to say

If here too late
There is better state

For those ,ho We little ofliie. sweetness shared
Nor many low'res found
On earthly ground:

The call of him they seek
Come thou that weepcst. but hast stood the lost

To the billow borne pilgrim,
Alone on the seas,
How sweet comes the perfume
OF land with the breeze!
It is the breath OF summer,
Eternal in prime
The kindliest fragrance
OF sun gladdened cline.
Those wanderin-s of sweetness.
How welcome they are
That tell of coantry,
Unseen and afar
Like the morning, their advent
Doth usher 4 smile,
And the rover's heart dances
Ii joyancc the while.
To cheer his lone vigil
At midnight they tell
OF meadow and mountain,
OF forest and 'ell
Till his eye DER the Ocean
Forget;eth to roam,
And he walks in his slumber
The fields Of his home.
Thus, oft on LIES billow,
With bark tempest-driyen,
The voyagcr fancies
The brenthings of Heaven
The Past and the Present
Remembering no more,
He meets in his visions,
The world that before.

QUESTIONS or The EDisTo MEETING
CoLuMBrA, April a. ls4
Sir, have had the honor receive your inclosng

Coleton" The portion of the proceedings which purports
to be founded n concerning my sentiments and po-
son in the Senate Of the Uhed States concludes with
categorical question: whether intend to vote tor charter
of U. S. Bank.
The redistribution of United States Bank presents very
complex question: both of principle and detail and must IN
judgement depend upon careful consideration OF Vase
variety Of circumstances, existing ut the moment Propo
cd Its very constituonaty depend upon the actual
condition of the couny-and that conceded tho
organization presents many important difficulties that It
would be unsafe cOncuslon until dstn-

and control-and above ALL the financial emergencies
of tee country the when it is propoedeach and
all of them grave and cautious deiberaton.
In advance therefore, the intcrogatory pro-
pounded only by announcing the general principle which
standand this beg leave to do in the language OF our
late Iamcned President and Of the acting President
tanned Of the latter similar question put To-
hm during the latc Presidential canvass.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Tyler's message is at hand
in the Louisville Gazette of the 9Th, inst
1t has arrived too late for US to publish
entire, We will only give synopsis of it.
1t opens with very pretty aIlusion to the
death of Gen. Harrison, and the circum-
stances of the Presidential duties devol-
wing upon him. Our peaceful foreign re.
lations are then alluded TO, as is usual in
Presidents messages.
The case of Mcleod is also alluded to.
after a mention Of the extent and impor-
tance Of the country, the report of the
secretary ofthe Treasury, is discussed
somewhat at large, and the condition OIL

view of their best interests, will, without
hesitation, submit to all necessary bur-

to impose them as to avoid defeating the
just expectations of the country, growing
out OF pre-existing laws"
Then comes necessary fiscal agent.

MISSISSTPPIANS9

We will now continue the article I'M
der the above head in our last, which we
engaged then to resume.
1t appears like any thing but justice
for the most guilty of all to raise and ex-
tend with the innocent the hue and cry
against State by no means resembling
a Sodom, and people not half so bad as
their enemies, shamefully represent them
to be. Those Northerners, 1--WE have
more particular allusion to the New York
merchants,) who have practised the nu-
merous and audacious frauds upon US in
overcharging for goods and otherwise, it
would seem have been making noise
clamorous and loud enough to drown all
charges which they might stand in fear
ofbeing made against them. The thieves
themselves have been the first to raise
the cry of /" stop thief" thereby adding
TO the evidence, already abundant, of
their ability to put the best outside on a
heinous transaction, and evincing zeal
for the cause of honesty and truth which
if not counterfeit would be truly COM
mendable, indeed We would say to
hem, Pluck the beam from your own
eyes, gentlemen, before you take the
mote from ours. Example will have a
much more salutary influence on US, than
abuse and SANDER. Innocence is not the
shield upon which you rely for protec-
ton. You have endeavored t. evade the
notoriety, thong not with entire success,
which you so justly deserve, by divert
ing the public gaze to another quarter.
Mississippi, because under sort of debt
or's dependence, has been chosen by you
as that unfortunate quarter, and with re-
lentless persecution, with the aid of num-
bers of your own stripe who have set
tied among US, partaken of our hcspitali-
ty, and accumulated wealth among US by
a low-minded penurious characteristic
ola majority of Northerners, hunted us
down with your uncalled for and uniusti-
fable abuse, RIi of which has originated
in your " stop thief" policy spoken of
above, ingraliiude, and that feeling Of

STOP IT!

The True Issue and the Southron are
quarrelling, and abusing each other
shamefully. How the thing will result
we do not know. So far the weapons
used have been neither sense, wit, or pis.
tolls, from which we suppose itlikely both
parties will come off worstedn by the
clash. It's TO be regretted, that these ed.
itorial quarrels are of such frequent oc-
currence.
