The ceremony OF presenting the service
Of Franklin. with liberty cap for its head, ex-
cited the deepest emotions Of the palrio, IN The
House Of Representatives, yesterday. They
were presents from Mr. Samn. L. Washing
ton, constituent of the Hon. Mr. Somers, OF
Virginia. TO the Congress of the United States
Unfortunately, the Senate was not duly notified,
and the scene did not take place in the presence
of both Houses, in joint meeting. Most OF the
Senators, however, were present; and MT.
Somers performed the task of presentation IN
The most mastery manner. His address con-
sisted chiefly of narrative 10 authenticate the
identity of the sword and cane, beautiful for It's
simplicity and dignity and becoming the occa-
son-the sword, the cane-W Washington, Frank
lin, aud the House of Representatives.
Mr.. Adams followed in some touching re-
marks accompanying The resolution he offered
10 drposite these relics in the Department o.
Stale. The resolution is joint, was adopted
unanimously, and will go 10 the Senate to-day
we are told, where we shall have another rich
treat.
The only thing which we regret about the pro-
ceeding is, that another disposition was not
made of these precious mementos instead OF
deposiling them in The Department OF State,
whence we believe all other such relics have
been lately transferred TO the National In
stitute, in the hall of the Patent Office We
are informed that Mr.. Wise had drawn up ano-
Their resolution, which he would have caused TO
be of red by Mr. Underwood, of Kentucky, had
il not been anticipated by that 10 deposlte The
sword and the cane in the Department OF State.
His resolution would have proposed TO cross the
cane of Franklin over the I" service sword" OF
Washington, on the shield Of the u. States over
the Speakers Chair in the House Of Representa-
lves. The sword, as the emblem Of the sur
render of the military power 10 Congress at
Annapolis, and as m mortal of the power in
Congress, by the Constitution, 10 declare rar,
&C., &C.; and the cane, with the liberty cap for
its head, as the best conceivable emblem OF
American citizenship and of Ihe subordinaton
of the military to the civil power in the United
States. We hope the Senate will adopt this
suggestion, and am nd the joint resolution ac-
cordingly. To send the spord to the State
Department is to deposile it with the Erecutire.
The present Executive would prefer that it
should remain in The hands where the Consitu-
ton has Placed tin the hands of Congress.

IL Is said by foreign writer who has visited our
country that the Americans all speak poetry. This
may account perhaps for the fact that so few have
acquired distinction for writing it. There are many
however, whose names are familiar To the public
from their illusions and the list is respectable Of
those who have gained considerable celebrity
I here is, however, vast field open for inventive
descriptive, and historic poetry and the harp still
hangs wildly In nature, 10 be touched by skiliui

induced from having just concluded the reading of a

! should judge that 1t was the authors first produc-
ton, from the introduction. The style is easy and
graceful; the harmony If versIfeation regular, and
the thought just, often vigorous and elegant. The
tribute which he Jays to American genius and ati-
thors shows as much good feeling accuracy OF
criticism. His notices of Wills, BENJAMIN, By
ANT, and Others, are complimentary and appropri-
ate, and The reader VIII spend pleasant hour in the
perusal.
The following is elegant and deserved tribute
to the memory Of the late Doctor CHANNlNG;
but Uere mas 81 ddenly splendor gone
From out our minds circle constellation
OF few stars have been bereft of one
Whose b ilancy was not confined to nation
In its light. 1t pierced all earlh-t shone
In ali the light of mind the first station
In reasons world was its; and though fled IFS day,
The light it shed will never pass away.
Through errors labyrinth its rays will lead
The road to truth; or beacon on the shore
or the minds dark sea, TO for ever shed
deep flood of light upon ito pour

iorclbe, and the definition is most appropriate:
I've heard him speak upon some light occasion,
| When debate had nigh assumed duh
And languid air; and then Pye heard him in Grafton
When there did stiffness reign throughout the full,
Deep auditory, which his mild persuasion
! Asserted DER it And then I've known him lull
( The fercest sea Of passion into rest
Such was the power his eloquence possessed.

MR.. TYLER-GOV PORTER-AND THE
GLOBE
NECKAR IN New Y DIRK.

We have beheld with much pain, recent attack
made upon Gov. Porter, by the Globe newspaper, at
Washington City The editors object TO that part of
the late Message in which the Governor recommends
tax upon coal and calls it " good Wing doctrine +"
We have always held the talents and energy Of the
editors of the Globe in high estimation, but we do
think, that, in this instance, they have travelled out
of the path If their duty, and are meddng with
matters which they are not in position to under
stand or appreciate, and with which they have no
kind of business. They will learn that their unjust
and upcalled for attack, will meet with no response
from friend or foe, in the Keystone State and that
they will much better subserve the true interests Of
the party they have heretofore ably upheld by
combining themselves hereafter TO matters which
within the legitimate sphere Of their duty
While on this subject, may as well recur 10
the course of the Globe towards President TYLER
in relation 10 which have neglected to express not
only our own disapprobation, but that of every de-
mocrat with whom We have ever conversed. We
consider the attacks Of that paper upon the President
as unwise, impotc, and altogether unnecessary and
extremely ungrateful. We are glad to learn, that
the democratic members in Congress from Pennsy l.
vanla, are unanimous ia their d,sapproval of the
course Of the Globe. The country press without an
exception, so far we have the means of ascertain
ing justly incensed at the foolish and nexplicable
opposition of that paper to the General Admnistra-
tion We trust President Tyler will not be deferred
from pursuing the independent and patriotic
he has thus far acted upon in the exercise of his
dues by the,unauthorIzed Remuneration OF the Globe,
which is not responded to by the Democracy of the
nation, and which can do him possible harm. All
know, that Mr. Tyler saved the country from the
corrupt schemes of the Bank Wings, when no other
human agency could avail us, and for this he should
at least be free from misguided selfish in crested
assaults from editors protesting to support democratic
principles. We trust he will go in the seven
tenor of his way" carrying out his principles in
lation to " measures and men" undisturbed by the
croakings of the Globe
