DISTINGUISHED Vines. Tho editor o
the Vicksburg Sentinel must be very
sagacious man, indeed. He says thai
Clay and Webster are the only states
men in the Wing ranks, and refers tc
Petticoat Allen as a bright and shining
light of "Democracyn Pettcoat Allen,
we admit, is a bright and shining light OF
democracy" but the idea Of comparing
him TO such men as John J. Critten1en,
John NJ. Berrien, John NJ. Clayton, Thos.
ICorwin, Willie p. Mangum, and host of
Iothers equally distinguished for learning,
Integrity and patriotism, is perfectly ri
Idlculous. And whero is man possessing
a greater fund of Information, more ex,
fensive or accurate knowledge than John
Quincy Adams? Where, in the "demo-
Icratc" ranks, is a more elegant or &C
.complished scholar than Geo. p. Marsh?
Where Is more terse and powerful wri-
ter than George PoindeXter, or Jas. A..
Pierce, or hundred others whom we
could name 2-Where is severer intel
lect than Geo. E. Badger, or John Beil?I
Where in the wide world is an orator toI
compare with S. S. Prentiss? Where is
a more honest whole souled or brave man
than Bale Peyton or James e. Jones?I
Where, in the democratic ranks is such al
man as John P. Kennedy? Where sol
profound a statesman or elegant scholar
as William C.. Rives? Where a more
honest or powerful man than John Ser
geant, or Richard II. Bayard? Where a
more searching investigator and bold and
independent analizer than VIM. Cost
Johnson? Where have the locofoco party
| man to cope in debate with Reverdy |
Johnson, or John J. Hardin, or Joseph l..
" bite, or where one with the informa
ion concerning this great national ques
ion of the tariff possessed by James F.
Simmons or Willard Fillmore?
But why specify he talent, the state
1anshp and the integrity of the great
Wing party? The Wing party in the U.
Z. Senate, he last fifteen years, has been
quail TO the same number Of men let them
ave been elected from any part of the t
ord, 5Englan or France, much less
ON the locofoco party. There never

THE TEXAS QUESTION.

About the middle Of January, the fd-
lowing resolution, adopted by majority
Of the Senate, was COMMUNICATED to the
House Of Delegates.
"Resolped By the General Assembly of
Virginia, That the annexation of Texas
to the United States should be affected
with no further delay than may be neces.
sary for the accomplishment of that OBJ.
ject bv the constituted authorities of the
two countries"
This resolution was made the order OF
the day in the House Of Delegates on the
29th of January, when Mr.. Toler Offered
the following as a substitute therefor:
"ReSoired By the General Assembly of
Virginia. That the annexation of Texas
to the United States ought to be affected
at the earliest period that may be prac,i-
cable consistently with the permanent
welfare OF Virginia, the obligations Of the
constitution, the preservation Of the inter-
nal peace OF the Union and the faith and
honour Of the country; and that this Gem
eral Assembly, reposing entire confidence
in the ability and patriotism of he Sena.
tors of Virginia, rely upon them faithful.
ly to discharge all their obligations to the
State and to the Union upon this ques.
tion."
And Mr.. Bowden submitted the follow
ing amendment:
"AII Of which in the opinion of this
General Assembly can be properly accom-.
plished by the Senate of the United States
passing the joint resolution which has pas.
sed the House Of Representatives"
! The Senate's resolutions with the pend
ing amendments, were again taken up on
the 3lst Of January, ia the House of Del
egates; wheIeupon, a motion was made
\ by Mr.. Witcher TO refer them to Select
Committee, which was agreed 10; and q
committee was accordingly constituted,
consisting Of an equal number Of both pc.
litical parties.
In asking for this committe. the ayow.
ed object OF Tho mover and of those who
supported the proposition was compro-
mise, if possible, between the conflicting
views of the two parties, and the sugges-
ton, of a resolution which nigh, receive
vote approaching as nearly as possible
TO unanimity. and which, II was argued,
would for that reason carry with it great
er moral weight. and exert more pow
erful influence upon public sentiment, as
well as upon our Senators. upon whom it
was designed more directly 10 operate,

taken in by the father, the squaw is

THE HOME OF THE DES0LATE-

THE HOME OF THE DES0LATE-
HEARTED.
Tho glory that regned in those halls is past,
And the beauty that strangers couited,
And deep are the shadows that grief hath cast
On the home Of the Desolate-hearted.
The odor Of flowers is on the air,
Bur noisome weeds are mingled there;
The vines unframed on the earth fepose,
The nettles o'ertop the bridal rose;
The cematis sinks from its wonted place,
And the lily 10 crushed in It's long embrace;
The garlands that hung on those walls Of yore
With their beauty and bloom have departed;
And the wreathing Of blossoms is known no more
In the home of The Desolate hearted.
The dust is deep on the rich guitar,
That Weakened Of old its music there;
The birds sit sadly with folded wing;
The lite lies by with broken string,
And the airhsir thar hangs on the old elm Dough
In requiem wild is breathing now
For the festive cong and the joyous strain,
Ring not through those halls deserted;
And voices of mir;h vii not wake again,
In the home of the Desolate hearted.
The portraits that hung on the gallery's side,
OF that kindred band that long since died,
Are inward turned to the oaken wall
For the gloomy memories they recall;
Aud many landscape of glowing hue,
By folded veil 10 hid from view;
For why should the gladness of happier days,
Whose light has for aye departed,
But eyer outspread to tie weary gaze,
In the home of the Desolaie- hearted.
pallor comes over the msidens bloom,
As she crosseth the door Of that lonely home;
And children move with soitened tread,
And voices hushed to tone of dread;
And mirth sinks back from its wonted flow,
When the eye looks up the brow of wo;
For the happy band that we're gathered there.
At single stroke were parted;
And we ask no more, of the young and fair,
In the home Of the Desolate-hearted.
