COLONIZATION CONVENTION.

The Convention assembled pursuant 20
adjournment, yesterday morning, at 10
O'Clock. The committee to whom the
communication from the Board Of Manog.
ers ad been referred, reported series Of
resolutions. The dcbates that arose upon
these, especially upon the third one of the
series, continued without in,ermission un.
til half pas, two.
The discussion still pending, the Con.
vention adjourned tll FIVE P. NJ, when
the resolution in question, with some mod
ification was passed, together with the
rest of the series reported by the committee.
In the meantime, we may remark, that
the debates yesterday were in the highest
degree animated, earnest and able. The
sentiments oil some of the most intelligent
gentlemen of the State, from the several
counties, were delivered fully and freely,
and were no doubt in accordance with
the general tenor ofpublic feeling through.
out the commonwealth on the interesting
matters before the Convention.
We may congratulate the friends of
Colonization on the results Of the free in
terchange of opinions aud views which
this Convention has been the bringing
about. The members Of il will return to
their respective homes more deeply i'm
pressed than ever with the Importance Of
the enterprize--more fully satisfied con-
corning its feasibility--nay assured of
certainty, that with proper cooperation
on the part of the people Of Maryland, the
success of the undertaking can no longer
be doubted.
One of the most important acts OF the
Convention was to take measures for the
course between this port and Cape PalInas.
We may soon expect to see regular
packet, bearing the banner of the young
commonwealth on the Western Coast Of
Africa, sailing from our harbor, manned
by colonsts, and devoted to the exclusive
use ofuadng between the mother country
and the infant yet thriving settlement, III
/ Liberia.
To the free colored people of our State
this practical exhibition of facts long since
declared to them, yet unwllingly credited,
will come with all the force of reality !;
and seeing, they will believe that the
home prepared for them in the land of
their fathers, by their friends in Maryland,
is indeed spot where freedom may be
enjoyed in prosperity, and where their
condition may be improved UNNECESSARILY
beyond anything which they can hope for
in this country.
The Convention adjourned at half past
six yestl riay afternoon sine die.

USE OF THE BAROMETER.

/. The rising of The mercury presages,
in general, fair weather, and in falling,
foul weather, as rain, snow, high winds
and storms.
Q. la hot weather, especially if the
wind is south, the sudden falling of the
mercury ioretells thunder.
g. In winter, the rising indicates frost !;
and IN frosty weather, if the mercury falls
three or four divisions, there will follow
a thaw, but if it rises in continued frost,
snow may be expected.
4. When foul weather happens soon at
ter the fall of the mercury, 1t will not b..
Of long duration nor are we to expect a
continuance Of fair weather, when ii soon
succeeds the rising Of the quicksilver.
5. fin foul weather the mercury rises
considerably and continues rising for two
or three days before the foul weather is
over, a continuance Of fair weather may
be expected 10 follow.
6. In fair weather, when the mercury
falls much and low, and continues falling
for two or three days before rain comes,
much wet must be expected, and proba.
bly, high winds.
7. The unsettled motion of the mercu-
ry indicates changeable weather.
8. Respecting the words engraved on
the register plate of the barometer, it
may be observed, that they cannot be
strictly relied upon to correspond exactly
with the state of the weather: though 1t
will in general agree with them as to
the mercury rising and falling. The
words deserve to be particularly noticed
when the mercury removes from change
able upwards; as those on the lower
parts should be adverted to when the mer.
curry falls from changeabIe' downwards.

"lF 1T WERE NOT FOR HoPE--TuE HEART

The Loco F0co press have discovered an
other "mare's nest'' in the signs whch
they think they can discern, Of divisions
among the Wings. We have reasons to
know, that the Cabinet is Of one accord
on the great remedies for public disorders
originating in the ignorance and selfish
ness Of the late Administration--and our
readers may believe our assurances, that,
far from losing any past influence in the
Cabinet, by the accession Of Governor
Tyler, to the Presidency, Mr.. Webster
has gained upon his esteem and confidence,
by more intimate tercourse--confrmin
the high opinion which the President, in
common with the whole Wing party, en-
teriained of his exalted talents and pairi-
otism.
How perverse must be the. spirit Of A.
mericans, who would impair, for their
country, the renown TO be gained for il,
by doing honor to genius and great intel
ectual power, joined to the mos. expand
ed patriotism Whatever may have been
the difference of opinion on the erpcdie.-
cy oil great measure, some Thirty years
past does it follow that great nun Is
TO be prosecuted and ostracised because
he was not then OF the dominant party +?
Such intolerance characterized and be-
came the barbaFous ages, but II counte-
nanced, will disgrace the one IN which we
live. AS it is, it degrades only those who
preach and practice it. The people, too.
well know that it behoves nation to
honor and exalt its most distinguished
sons, as the snrest way TO cherish and
perpetunte the spirit Of public liberty.

is said near West Union, while the other
placed himself under the tutelage Of a
noted kentucky duellist. Having be.
come, as they thought sufficiently expert,
the combatants met on the 18th of May,
six miles above Louisville. 1t was agreed
between the two seconds that one fire on

were placed at the safe distance of 30
feet from each other, each with pistol in
hand. They fired and, awful to relate,
Mr.. Wickiile was wounded in the coat,
while Mr.. Clay came off as safely as the
bear that was shot al by tho HooSier's
daddy. Then the affair was amicably
and honorably adjusted" The Kentucky

How many hearts with sick misgiving faint,
Worn with long watching, pine in lone distress
Whose tears held prisoned by loves fond restraint,
Gush forth unchecked in midnght's silentness,
As TO their wshful gaze hopes trembling ray
Grows dim and DINNER yet-is fading fast away
Oh, Lord Of sovereign might before thy throne
They fall, imploring thy protecting power
o God Of truth and love to thee alone
They turn for strength in this their trial hour.
How deep, how keen their anguish, only thou,
Who knowest all, can tell: support, sustain them
now
Thou know'st the shrinking agony of fear,
That nocks the smiles the lip assumes in vain;
Affections art would hide the stealing tear,
With words of hope disown its writing pain;
But Thou beholdst the spirits deep despair,
When in its solitude it pours its Wild impassioned
prayer.
Alas their homes are desolate Some face
Some form that charmed it with familiar grace
Some tones that glsddened it with music ninth ,
0 Lord of might pity their helpless pain,
Bring back their wanderers safely to their arms
again
Onr times in thy hand in perfect rest
Thou wilt keep him whose mind is stayed on thee:
Calm thou the conflict in each tortured breast;
Their hope, their trust, their consolation be.
Shed :hy deep peace upon each care-worn brow;
Be with them, God OF ioye strengthen, sustain
them now
