a TFSrn Of Love,

The sun arose, mid clouds withdrawn,
In golden haze, in c~mher-mist;
The mountains in Tie gradual dawn
Blush'd as tho god their forcheads kiSt-
The spirit of the morning threw
A holiness wher'er We trod;
Aud every drop Of perfect dew
Fnshrined IN image Of the god.
Oh, thus. | sigh'd, as bears the dew
The presence of yon orb divine,
So shrines my heart q form as true,
And that blest form, dear maid, is thine.
In sweet confusion stood she by,
With modest air, ubash'd, and meek;
The bushes Of the eastern sky
Had left ;heir throne to grace her check.
Still not in these spoke Hope alone,
But; in her eyes where Truth was born:
Oh. never heart of man had known
So fair a love, so sweet a morn.

CoNGREss.-By reference to the
proceedings of Congress on the 9th
ult., it will be perceived that the rule
OF the House, excluding abolition Pc
t~iticns, kas been rescinded. All the
Representatives from Missouri were
in their places and voted agains, this
movement, except Judge Bowlin,
whose namo does not appear among
the ayes and nays. 1t is now appa-
REM that the halls OF Congress are to
be made the theatre for the annual
agitation OF the exciting topic ofAbo-
.ition. and the consequences which
will result from this course may be of
the most serious character. Tho
rights Of the South are thus placed in
jeopardy, for whatever coun,enances
the agitationo Of hatsuhject is so much
gained by the ahoiitionists. 1t may
be, however, that the reception Of
Abolition petitions viii be objected
to. and the question of reception laid
upon the table. rs is the practice Of
the Senate-but the adoption of that
course is barely possible, rs shown
by previous votes on receiving such
documents and referring them TO
Committees.
Ey the analysis Of the votes. as
published in the spectator, it appears
that 81 Democrats aad l9 Wings vo-
ted for the rule Of Mr.. Dromgoole, Sc
Democrats and 10 Wings against it.
On the previous day, the House pass
ed the following resolution, with only
% dissenting votes:
"Resolrci, That Congress has no
power under the Constitution. to in-
terfere with, or control, the domestic
institutions of the several States; and
that such States are the sole and pro-
per Judges of every thing appcrtain-
ing TO their own affairs, not prohibit
ed by the Constitution; that all efforts
Of the AbolilioniSts or others, made
to induce Congress to interfere with
questions Of slavery, or to take incipi-
ont steps in relation thereto, are cal
c~u!atpd t. lead to the most alarming
aud dangerous consequences, and tina;
all such efforts have an inevitable
tendency to diminish the happiness
of the people, and endanger the sta
biitv and permanency Of the Union.
and ought not TO be co~untenanced
by any friend 70 cur political institu-
TONS"
Now. it is obvious that one Of the
efforts to which AbolitioDiSts resort
TO induce CONGRESS- to interfere with
the question Of slavery, is TO force Pc
tltlons praying Tor It's Abolition IL Inc
District of Columbia and the Terrific
ries, upon the House at every session.
|, is difficult to reconcile the votes of
the House CT the 26th and 9th with
consistency and fair dealing. The
question is enc which should be met
boldly. 1t involves the vital interest
Of too many States in the Union to
be tempered with in any way, and
the South will unquestionably hold
responsible for tho consequences, all
of those who have thus voted TO open
the door to a war upon this instltu-
ton of slavery. Fanaticism a be
safely encountered in only MI way,
and that is by an open, determined
and spirited resistance. The mere
agitation Of the question Is pregnant
with serious mischief Missouri Re-
