whenever that happens, they are incident.

Editors aim that they should have three

form, such valuable truths or interesting

And who shall rise again2
The flowers, that of late were rejoicing il

And loading the air with sweetest per

But whose traces no longer remainl
They ne'sr shall rise again
Their days Of beauty and bloom are DER,
They shall opon their buds to the sun nc

And close them no more to the rain.
To the grave let US 60,
And look for the leaves that were culver.

Az they gently waved TO the breath Of the

And murmured their music low.
They have faded away
And the lifegiving spring to the grove may
come,
And summon the sleepers to rise from
their tomb,
But the call they cannot obey.
The loved 10 days Of yore,
The guy smiling face and the bright
sparkling eye,
That cold and decayed in the scpulchre
lie,
Tho dearly loved shall rise no more.
Dust unto dust returned
And this, perhaps, may again be created,
But ne'er again will it be animated,
BY the soul that once in it burned.
The soul! the immortal part!
Yes, Aat from its tomb in bright glory

And freed from its dross, shall ascend TO

Governor Edwards was in the Chair, and

were chosen Secretaries. Charles A.

avowed their preference for John c. Cal

Colin M. Ingersoll, ESQ.,, offered a series Of
resolutions in favor of the District System,
and complimentary to Calhoun. which put
each democrat upon his "iedependent
sovereignty" and quite muss was stirred
up, although upon taking the sense Of the
meeting, it was found to be two to one
in favor Of free trad and Southern chiv-
airy. Captain Francis pitched into John
C. Calhoun, and the resolutions, and
Charles A. Ingersoll in return, come down

was generally from thirty to TO-. thousand

baronet replied that, on the contrary, it
was incumbent on him to apologize for ia.

take of family dinner. Nothing further
passed, but the next morning the customer
drew his whole balance out Of the bank.
