He rests within his quiet grave,
The hero and the sage
The centre Of q nations love,
And model oi his age.
And loudly swelIs the borrowing wall;
And mountain.,op and plain
The sad lament and mourniul dirge
Re-echo back again.
Pay the fond tribute He whose fall
nation mourns for now,
Was worthy ofthe grief, which dims
The light on beauty's brow,
And wakens the conyulsive sob
In stalwart manhood's heart;
And bids, from eyes unused to weep,
The bitter tear-drop start.
His was no common mould In him
The elements combined
To frame great and perfect man,
In feature and In mind.
His soul was honors chosen seat
The pledge Of truth his word
In purity and faith preserved
Untarnished as his sword.
Ever the champion of the right;
Ofthe oppressed the stay;
Ambition had no charm to guide
Or lure his steps astray; -
The fame for which his spirit yearn'd
Was, that his name might be
Inscribed on hstory's living page,
The GUARDIAN OF THE FREEt
And nobly was that title won
And proudly does it stand,
lmperishably graved upon
The records OF ourland.
Columbia's genius traced it there;
And the immortal scroll
The gallant heros name will bear,
Til time shall ceass to roll.
Mourn, then, our Patriot Father dead.
Mourn him, we brave and free
And let our mingled voices rise
In dirge like melody.
The tear which falls at such an hour,
No shame on manhood throws;
The tribute Of his heartfelt grief
Each grateful freeman owes.

PHILADELPHIA, June 20, l845.
Our city councils met last evening, and adopted
resolutions that proper and public testimonials Of
respect should be paid to the memory Of our illus
rious and departed Jackson. The council chambers
will be hung with black, and the members will wear
Grape on the left arm for thirty days. On the Goth
instant, the bells Of the city will be mufled and
tolled throughout the day; and as Major General
Patterson has ordered out his division on that day
the of one Of the public squares is to be rendered

Besides the movement made by our councils, the
citizens Of the city and county Of Philadelphia
making arrangements to commemorate the melan

marked by every demonstration of universal
mourning for what cannot fail to be regarded as q
national loss.

CONGRESSIONAL.

Little has been doing in this body up to last
dates. Our Washington papers have failed during
the last four or five days; why, we cannot tell In
another column of to-day's Journal we give the
Standing Committees of the House and the Chair
men OF the various Committees of the Senate. We
have not seen the other members of these latter
committees, mentioned in our exchanges. It will
be seen that our distinguished Senator, Mr., Hay.
wood, occupies the same place that he did during
the last session of Congress. The committee on
foreign affairs in the Senate is undoubtedly. the
most important one in that body, under existing
circumstances. Mr.. Allen, of Ohio, who has been
elected to fill this important position, is an able
and fearless man, and we have every confidence
that he will perform the important duties assigned
to him with ability and fidelity But we must
confess that we had much sooner see John C. Cal
houn at the head of this important committee, than
Mr. Allen. And we will further say, that we are
somewhat disappointed in not seeing him called
to preside over this important committee. There
is no man in the Union more competent, indeed,
we had almost said, so competent to take calm
American view of our foreign relations, at the pres
ent juucture, as Mr.. Calhoun.
Resolutions. for the admission of Texas have
been already submitted to both houses of Congress
and we have no doubt that they will be passed
without much debate. Some petitions have been
presented from the New England States, against
her admission as slave-holling State, but thew
are signed but by very few. The various SUBJ
jects in the Presidents Message, have been refer
red to appropriate committees. AS yet, however.
the great contest has not come on. on anv If III
great questions. We presume nothing of much
importance will be done till after the Christmas
Holydays.

to take care of ito superintend its disbursement

The Weather-CountryP roduce.-During the

have fallen during that time. A rise as our coun-
Try friends term it, in the creeks and rivers, has
been the consequence. This is very desirable at
all times to the makers of Timber and Naval
Stores. 1t is particularly so at present. For we
have had no freshet in most of the navigable
streams for months past. Very large quantities
of produce have come down in consequence, par
ticularly Naval Stores. We have heard it estima.
ted by gentlemen conversant with the business of
the place, that there has been about $4,000 to
100000 paid for Timber and Turpentine alone,
within the last fortnight. This large sum, too,
will all go into three or four counties. What
is singular, the price has kept up, notwithstanding
these large supplies. The Pine tree has proved
gold mine to our country friends, this season.
