SOg.II.OQCY OF A DCE:I.LIST.

They all at length have left me-long wished
While, round will, oicious care they stood
To dress this paltry wound, to be alone.
And now find that solitude is dreadful
Dreadful to one upon whose burning soul,
The weight of murder rests. Oh would to heaven
This day botied from the scroll of time:
Or indeed it seems, that some wild dream
Had wrapped in its horrid, tangled maze.
II is "a drcam--it must bc-oer my brain
Such strange bewildering scenes i'll memory crowd,
As not, cannot be reality;
And yet this agony is two intense,
Twould rive the chains of sleep. This stiifend
These bandages, and the sharp pain which shoots
Across my burning tempies-tIese are READ
oh no-ts not the plantasy of sleep
He does lie bleeding yOnder. pale and dead:
I, too, slightly wounded.-W ould to heaven
The crring ball, that pierced this guilty arm
Had found a goal within my guiltier breast,
Ere had lived to be u murderer
A hateful murderer, still living
Beneath the weight, the torment of a curse,
Heavy ,s that of Cain, the stain of blood
Forever my conscience, crying out
To heaven for vengeance. Yet my wounded honor
Claimd, sure, some reparation for the blot
His language on it cast. Could have lived
Beneath the brand of cOwardce, and borne
The and the expression of contempt
That would have follow d me from every lipl
He gave the challenge and could refuse!
could not-yet, might could could
The offence mine and mine is all the guilt.
Why DER my passions could not
One instant hold the rcins of self-cOntroll
One single momen mt of deliberate thought
And doubtless reason would have spared me all
This gut-tlls agony. The approving smiles
OF peaceful conscience and mine own respect
Had balanced well the idle laugh OF fools
And now, what morei L dare not think.
Tho stain Of life blood is upon my soul
The lfe-b blood Of my friend
And have killed him! Oh, that this dark hour
Of deep, remorseful anguish might recall
The nome nts that have pass'd My wifc!-my wife;
l cannot meet thee thus. l hate myself
All whom have loved, and cen thou wilt hate me-
Oh: would that were dead will not live
To meet thy fearful eye in bent
Der who could wake it's proudest smile.
I cannot pray-I dare not call on Heaven,
To pardon my offence--before the throne,
Even at the mercy seat, his bleeding form
Would mock my agony, and drive me thence
How can look those whose hearts my hand
Has made desolatcl His mothers eye
Has often smiled in kindness my boyhood-
And such has been my gratitude to wiring
The last bright drops of comfort from her heart.
And cloud the evening of her life with
His sisters in their tears demand of
Their loved, their murder d onc-and there he hes
Cut off in all the bloom of health and youth.
There lies the fatal instrument, and there
Its fellow lies to tempt me-loaded still;
dare not tlnk-the future and the past
Are fraught alike with images of horror.
Blood calls for blood and mine own hand shall pay
The debt of Justice. Crime shall wash crime
dare not look into eternity
Oh God! Oh God! forgive for this deed.

PRosemrrIox-REMoyLs.-The whigs are beginning 10 grumble with Mr. Polk about the few removals he has found ii ne- cessary 10 make, in order to put his admin istration in successful train of operation
 No prescription for opinion's sake, was one of the whig texts in the canvass of l8l0. They elected their candidate, but grossly yi- plated all their pledges on that subject Many whigs declared last spring, when they were flush with the hope of certain victory, that Mir Clay should make clean sweep ol democrats from ofiicel
 And now when the removals of Mr Polk, are about as P1lc to one hundrcd made by General Harrison, and we suppose one to fire hnndred tRat would have been made hy Mr. Clay. the wfigs, are hegining to make noise. Oh. consistency thou art a iewel.- It is evident however that the whig partv have no well settled principles, to which ,hey constantly adhere, but opposition to democ- raey is about the only common bond of union.

HARRY BLUFF AND THE LAKES.

HARRY BLUFF AND THE LAKES
 On our fourth page will be found tho fourthnumber of Harry Bluffs articles on the subject of lake de- fence Sc. is an ably written pnper exhibiting the naval power and policy of England.
 Tho writer, in previous numbers, has directed general attention to one ofe most stupcndous con captions of the are. project no less grand and important than emptying the great lakes of the north, island seas, into the lap of the father of waters! The project of oPsaitg direct channel of communication between the lakes aud the Nis- sissipp valley, and thereby go step further in the important work of binding the remote parts of our wide spread country more closely together, by in creasng the facilities of iuter-comnuuication. The defence of the country, however, is his principal design, H. proposes that the United States shall purchase the Illinois aad Michigan canal, and com. petc ship canal, 10 serve IS defence, ineon junction with the naval depot at Memphis, for on lake borders and commerce.
 The completion of this canal is all that is want ing to open up connection of the lakes with th, Mississippi river. Sc that ships built al AIemphi, may be throWnupou the gulf of Mexico, or directly upon the lakes, through the Illinois river, and tte canal leading from that river to the lakes, and emp tying the lakes through it and the Illinois river into the Mississippi.
 Our country is fast recovering, under the system of economy and industry praetised for several years past from the deep ruin into which it was thrown by the great banking mania. Commerce is spreading her wings, and again the seas begin tc groan beneath the hurthen of the wealth transported upon their bosons. Individual enterprise is seeking wealth ilom all her sources, and spirit of public improvement is abroad in the land. Should our people keep clear of banking, and speculation with out capital and proceed in the march of improve. ment upon actual capital thcre is nothing in ths holdess conception that may moi be accomplished Time and space may be oyercome-almost annihi lakeland the distant points of this great union bc brought in iaxta-positon! Canals, railroads an( magnetic elegaphs, will enable the dweels on tho Pacifc.to communicate withthe Atlantic borderefs and the denizeas ef the Gulf coast with those upor the northern lakes, as iaiailiarlY as the inhabitants ot opposite sides of small rivers have done in tim, gone by

RHODE ISLAND ELECTION-SUCCEsS
 OF THE DORR PARTY.

We have the pleasing intelligence that Jackson, the Dorr candidate, for Governor, has been elected, over Fenner the Algeline candidate, by about 200 majority. And though the Algernes have a majority in the Legislature, yet Jackson having pledged him self to the unconditional release of Dorr when he accepted the nomination. from the Democratic convention, he will of course pardon him, and set again at liberty one who has suffered long and uniustly for his advocacy of those great principles of equali- ty and freedom avowed in the declaration of Independence.
 IL IS strange that a man in one of the States of this Union, should have been imprisoned for making himself the champion of popular rlghts-ior attempting to extend to the poor as well as the rich the right of suffrage; but Il IS not strange that the mass of the people have spoken in their majesty, and power, and demand that the patriot captive shall be set at liberty May the day not be distant winch Dom shall again walk forth as free and as bold as his own opinions
 SOUTHERN INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT AND AGmcuITuRAr CoNvENrroS.-Wep publish to day m address by committee of gentlemen of Memphis, proposing 10 hold, at Memphis, on the lth of July next, Southern Convention, for the purpose of adopting measures for the advancement of the agri- cultural interest of the South, and the improvement of this section of the Union in the way of public works.
 Cotton, the great staple of the south, is down so low, as hardly to justify the planter in growing it. The South being better adapted to the growing of Cotton, as the pime article oG production, than any thing else, 1t Is all important to the planting interest that some plan should be fallen upon to enhanse it's value. Ageneral agreemcntto grow less cotton would lessen the supply and increase the price, so that the planter could get more for a much smaller amount ol Cotton than he now gets for all his entire force can raise, and the labor thus usclcssy expended might be proitably bestowed in producing other articles convention of planters might come to some eener- al agreement by which this could be effected
 The advancement ofthose great works of Improve ment, referred to by the Committee, is highly im- Portant, and much may be accomplished in the way of arousiag, and directing ae attention of men of capital to those works suitable obj ,cts of enter prize, by the convention.
 Arkansas is deeply interested in the proposed ob- ects Of the Convention, and il is To be hoped that meetings will be holden in every comfy in the State, and delegates sent to the convention Intelligent gentlemen may certainly be found in all the counties who will consent to attend the convention A con veatioa on the plan proposed can do no harm and may result in much benefit to the South and South West
