AND thou gone most loved, most honored Friend
No-ncver more thy gentle voice shall blend
With air Of Earth its pure ideal tones
Binding it one, as with harmonious zones,
The heart and intellect And / no more
Shall with thee gaze that unfathomcd deep
The Human Soul as when, pushed off the shore,
Thymystc bark would through the darkness sweep,
Itself the while SO bright! For oft we seemed
AS on some starless sea-all dark above,
All dark below-yet, onward as we drove,
To plough up light that ever round us streamed.
But he who mourns is not as one bereit
OF all he loved thy living Truths are left.

Shall bide our time, and enter the Union
with our present limits, unshackeled by public
debt; with our energies freed from the whitening
influence of excessive taxation; with resources and
advantages equal those of any state in the Union
and commence our march to greatness as state :
shall we once with the burthen of heavy
debt upon shoulders, energies taxed, sec
tlonal jealouses and contests within our borders ;
and content ourselves to wait in our march for
greatness, until delivered from the difficulties which
would be upon US.
To conclude; | am well satisfied that none, or
but few at least within the borders of Wisconsin,
would urge this matter, but to test the right of
Wisconsin to this disputed district. None then,
will object to any thing which may bear upon that
question and as | have expressed my own opin-
ions without reserve upon this matter, trust those
who entertain different opinions, will be equally
tree expressing them. s-..
