BY JAMES GRAHAM.

The Poem of the Sabbath will long en-
dear the name of James Graham to al
those who cherish a Christian regard fol-
the day, and the devotional thoughts anc
poetical feelings witch it inspires. We ex
tract his descrip tion of Sabbath morning
in the country:
How still the morning of the hallow'd day!
Mute is the voice Of rural labor, hushd
The ploughboy's whistle, and the milkmaid's song
The scythe lies glittering in the dewy wreath
or tedded grass, mingled with fading flowers,
That yester-morn bloomd waving in the breeze.
Sounds the most faint attract the ear-the hum
OF early bee, the trickling Of the dew,
The distant bleating midway up the hill.
Calmness sits throned on yon unmoving cloud.
To him who wanders DER the upland leas,
The blackbird's note comes mellower from the dale
And sweeter from the sky the gladstone lark
Marbles his heaven-tuned song; the lulling brook
Murrnurs more gently down the deep worn glen,
While from yon lowly roof, whose curling smoke
O'ermounts the mist, is heard, at intervals
The voice Of psalms-the simple song of praise,
With dove.hke wings, peace Ger yon village
broods;
The digging mill-wheel rests; the anvil's din
Hath ceased; all, all around is quietness.
A timid one there is,-the hmping hare
Stops, and looks back, and stops, and looks on man
Her deadliest foe. The toi-worn horge set free,
Unheedful Of the pasture, runs at large
And as his stiff, unweldly, bulk he rolls,
His iron-armed hoofs CLEAN in the morning ray;
But chiefly man the day of rest enjoys
Hail Sabbath! thee hail, the poor mans day.

The prejudiced are apt to converse but
with one sort of men, to read but one sort
of books, to come in hearing but Of one
sort of notions; the truth is. they canton
out to themselves a little Goshen in the
intellectual world, where light shines, and
as they conclude, day besses them: but the
rest Of the vast cxpansum they give up to
night and darkness, and so avoid coming
near it. They confne themselves TO some
little creek. not venturing out into the great
ocean Of knowledge, to survey the riches
that nature has sto' ed other parts with, no
less genuine. no les useful, than what is to
be found within their own little spot.

ROYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSO-
CITATION.


The adjourned meeting of the Associa-
ton was held yesterday at the great rooms,
Corn Exchange. The attendance was, as
usual, extremely numerous, and at the hour
fixed for the commencement of the busi-
ness, admittance could only be obtained
with the greatest difficulty. On motion Of
Mr.. O'Connell, James Haughton, Esq, was
called to the chair.
Mr.. O'Conuel said the association had
adjourned to that day, for the purpose Of
receiving a communication with which
they had been honored from the anti
slavery society of America body of
men whom they must entirely respect;
whose objects should be cherished in their
virtues--and whose persevering patriotism
would either write their names on the page
of temporal history, or impress them in a
higher place, where eternal glory and hap
pness would be the reward of their exer-
tons (cheers) His impressions were so
strongly in favor fthe anti-slavery society
of Amarica that he thought it would not
be so respectful as he would desire, if he
brought forward that document in the rou-
tine business on the last day, when il could
not be SO much attended to as it deserved
(hear, hear.) 1t was out of respect to the
people who sent that document, that they
had adjourned; and he might say that per-
sonal respect for the chairman was mixed
up with that consideration (cheers.) They
could not have sent better messenger,
or more sincere one; and if he now had
the kindness TO make the communication
they would receive it with the respect it
deserved, (cheers)
The chairman said he attended there in
the performance of very pleasing duty;
and he had in the first place to return his
sincere thanks to his esteemed friend, the
Liberator, for the manner he had introduced
him to their notice (hear, hear) He
thought Ireland stood in peculiarly inter-
esting position, at the present moment
(hear.) No country ever stood in amore
exalted position than that which they now
occupied; and guided by the Liberator, they
should try TO carry measures of ameliora-
ton for themselves and the human race,
by moral and peaceful means alone (cheers.)
He had no doubt of their success by tho Sc
means; but in addition to the exalted posi-
ton which they occupied before the ma
tons of the world, was their responsibility,
and he was anxious that gentlemen every

YOUTH AND AGE.


YourH, is like fairy vision
Where each form is floating bright,
Full OF lifes sweet indecision,
Looking onward with delight:
Then the star Of Hope is beaming,
Darling forth its cheering rays,
Der the mind its light is cleaning,
Showing happy future days.
Then the heart is full Of feeling,
Saddened not by grief nor care
Darkcned by no cloud o'erstealing,
While bright sunshine fingers there
Then the sweet.toned warblers, hinging
Their glad notes on every breeze;
Waterfalls, and streamlets ringing,
Lull the mind to Elysian ease.
In youth our minds are pure, untainted
With the worlds corroding blight
All its scenes are brightly painted,
Nature teens with life and light:
But tits like the fairy vision,
Gorgeous now, but soon to fade
Time seems asking in derision,
Wherefore, dreamer, vert thou NADER"
Age, as if from sleep awaking,
Feels that youths gay dreams are past;
While our limbs with years are shaking,
Sigh we, that they could not last?
All before US now is dreary;
Youths fair star Of Hope hath set
Round the grave, care-worn and weary,
For time we linger yet.
Nature is with music ringing
Sweet, as when our years were few
But its charms are lost, save bringing
Childhood's scenes more fresh in view;
Oltimes with pleasant sadness,
Gaze we back along the past,
See our sunshine days Of gladness,
BY cloud Of years o'ercast.
All the hopes we londy cherished,
Baseless dreams Of coming age!
AS we reached the goal, have persisted,
Living but on momry's page:
Weary Of this world Of trial,
Happy thrice will be the day,
When our shadow marks the dial.
And our spirits flee away.

O'CONNELL AND THE LOYAL RE.
PEAL ASSOCIATION ON SLAV-
ERY

| Ek1.
Some letters in palliation of slavery hav.
ing been transmitted to the Irish Repeal
Association from Dennis Corcoran, of New
Orleans, c. NJ. Brosnan, of Albany, and
Thos. Mooney, a travelling lecturer; and
other letters of the same kind having been
extensively published in Ireland and Amer
| lea, the Executive Committee of the Penna.
Anti-Slavery Society thought fit TO send an
Address to the Irish National Repeal Asso-
citation, in which they corrected what they
deemed to be errors in the aforesaid letters,
and gave a view of the slave-hoIding laws,
the participation of the Northern States in
compelling the slaves to remain under and
subject to those laws, and the power on the
part of the people of this country to alter
the Constitution, were they so disposed, so
as to abolish this participation in the sup
port of the slave system.
Upon the receipt and reading of this
Address in the Irish Repeal Association,
Daniel O'Connell made the speech which
will be found below, and the Secretary
was directed to transmit to the Pennsylva-
mia Anti-Slavery Society an expression of
the feelings of the Association, which he
did in the subjoined letter.
The Address of the Penna. Society, the
letter of the Secretary, and the speech of
Mr.. OConnell, all published together in
pamphlet form, may be had gratis, at the
Anti-Slavery Office, No. 81 north fifth
street; where also may be seen the original
letter from the Repeal Association, and
copies of the Dublin Freeman's Journal
containing the whole proceedings in the
case.

THE TARIFF-HoW 1T WORKS.

The Whig Tariff has been in opera
tion less ,han one year, during all which
time It has met with violent md vim
lent opposition. Nevertheless, let US
see now It operates.
Just before the Tariff was passed,
Treasury Notes were Sc ling at ninety
six cents for dollar; or four per cent
below par. Now government paper is
selling at one hundred and sixteen cents
for dollar. or sixteen per cent above
par; making a difference in favor Of the
governmenr, OF al least twenty per cent.
Before the tariff was adopted, Con,
eress was necessilated TO authorize the
Executive to borrow money without Ii
imitation as 10 interest. Now the gov
eminent is able to borrow at FIVE, and
less than FIVE per cent.
Had no change been made by the last
Congress in lhe tariff Of duties, our coun
trv would now have been filled with
foreign goods, to the detriment of our
home aborers, and we should have
drained our specie To pay for them
Since the present Tariff has bean in
operation, the exports from this country
have exceeded the imports by millions
of dollars. The balance Of 'bese ex
ports over the imports has been paid ic
