From the Knick erbocker.
THE FORSAKEN-.A Fragment.


One evening, sooner than her wont, she sought
Her solitary chamber, There she safe
Beside the open window, where the rose,
With jessamine linked, and woodbine, twined
Around the easement. The night breeze came
Freshly and sweetly through the leafy blinds.
And kissed her burning cheek and faded lip.
She slumbered-butn not long; the evening wind
Shook from the boughs that through the. case
ment crept
A shower of rose leaves on her ivory neck
They fell, and walked her from her sleep-and
then
She raised her head, and saw HIS portrait lie
Beside her: she pressed it to her fevered lips;
And slept again.
Next morning she was dead!
The sunlight streaming through the tremulous
leaves
Fell on her neck in quivering light and shade I;
Her face was pillowed on her fair white arms,
That rested by the lattice: her dark hair,
Stirred by the morning breeze, was all that
moved.
They called her by her name-she answered not
They raised her head-and then they saw her
face
Was deadly pale and chill!-he marble lips
Were pressed against the portrait: she had died
Embracing it!
The Liverpool Mail, Tory paper of
the most violent stamp, speaking Of Mr.
Webster's letter to Mr.. Fox, says:
"We cannot soon forget, however, the
impression which the contents Of that let
ter produced on our minds; for a more
jesuitical production, or a more contempt
ible effort Of special pleading, containing
an under-currento of hypocrisy and insult,
never was addressed by foreign minis
ter to the British Government"
Thus, says the New York Express,
Mr.. Webster suffers both at home and
abroad: at home, for being insulted by
the British; abroad, for insulting the
British louisville Journal.

was speaking of national disgrace, and not of election
results Doubtless these foreigners contributed much to
that result. but have never attributed the whole to
them ascrbe the result to many causes; but since the
official returns have confess the result is to me
ncomprehensble These returns show The Democratic
candidate 10 have been defeated after receiving i'm

more than he received in $780, he received nearly dou-

defeated This, sir, is ncomprehensble to me. Per-
haps the Federal may throw some light the
enigma.
The question now recurring on the amendment moved
BY Mr.. Calhoun
Mr.. CLAY of Kentucky reminded the Senate that
the amendment contained blank which should be
filled before the vote taken.
Mr. CALHOUN said he left the blank TO be filled by
the Senate as it might think proper. If the amend
ment should prevail the blank might be filled after
wards
Mr. CLAY of Alabama said there was no need of fill.
ing the blank at this moment
Mr.. PRESTON said the proposition Of i'm
porance, and he required little time to reflect before
he voted upon it; and he thereupon moved that the Sc
nate adjourn
The motion prevailed, and the Senate adjourned.

MALICIOUS LIBEL. = The semi-weeky Indiana
Journal OF the 18th inst. utters the following gross
and malicious libel upon one of the Congressional
delegation from this State:
"Andrew Kennedy, of the fifth district never
Ibed or entertained n wholesome political princ-
pie and as for the bearing of gentleman and the
attributes of an honest man, he has been sus-
pected Of possessing any"
Party hostility Jus;i6es or permits to amentable
extent, personal attacks but fortunately for the
character of the Press, degraded as 1t confessedly
L., seldom do 1t prostituted shamcessly as
IN the above instance. 1t was bad enough and dis
honorable enough to say that Mr.. Kennedy ''never
imbi bed entertained wholesome political prn-
ciple." Allowance can always be made for the
heated zeal of thoughtless partisan editors But the
public have not an equal opportunity of making al
lowance for charges, like the above, against man =
honor and honesty. 1t is always to be presumed,
that such charges Will not be made by men of re-
spons bty, unless they are able to produce some
evidence of their truth.
In this case however, notwithstanding the bold
ness of the libel assured that il is most infa
mously untrue in all respects and for the lat
tributes of an honest man" in particular, Mr. Ken
nedy noted for being punctiliously honest in all
his personal transactions Any imputations to the
contrary are basely untrue.
