correspondent of the Richmond Wing, who
sketches rather an exaggerated picture of the dis
tress of the country, invokes Legislative protec-
tion against the Immediate payment of debts. and
advises the enactment of a Stay Law. The ed-
tor, in his remarks, plainly demonstrates both the
injustice and inexpediency of resor, to this mea-
sure, and points out the unpleasant consequences
that might ensue, should such proposition re-
ceiVe Legislative sanction. The distress that
prevails, though great, cannot be said to be of
that character and intensity that would Justify a
suspension Of the due course Of law, and an in
reference in private contracts. Nor is it owing
to any affecting dispensation Of Providence bui
TO causes which the political history of the times
sufficiently explain. Relief, in our judgment, is
to be obtained ina very different manner from
that recommended by the Wing correspondent
Many objections might be uged against the RENE

She is gone to the land of the blest,
From her prison Of sorrow and night:
She hath snatched 1mmortalily's vest,
And mantlel her spirit in light!
E,ernity's harp in her hands,
The minisering angels have crowned her;
Bv the throne-blaze Of Godhead she stands,
With halo Of glory around her!
She hath grappled and triumphcd Ger Death
And rushed through his caverns Of gloom;
She hath drawn the unquenchable breath
That deties cen the thunder's doom!
She hath stretched forth her gcssamer wings
Der the azure of boundess repose,
And drunk of the ncctarine springs
Where the river of Paradise flows.
Then weep not, though she hath fed
In the blossom Of beauty and prime,
The flower is transpIantcd, not dead,
The sunshine of Heaven is her cline!
Twas cruel to pray for her back,
Since her glorifed soul is at rest;
Then weep not, but follow her track,
She is gene to the land of the blest!
