TO barren and worthless territory. Ii was at
this critical moment that Mr.. Calhoun interPoscd,

sword of Brennus, into the scale of moderation, JUS
tice and peace. From that moment the clouds
began to dispersc. The Wings, taking fresh cou-
rage from this unexpected support, spoke in boil
der tone. The more timid of the Administration
party, who, doubling Mr.. Folks iniallibity, ne
verthcless feared to provoke the assaults of his
friends. ventured ut first To whisper their dissent,
and at length TO proclaim their opposltion-untii,
when the Senate came finally to vote upon 1.-THE
Notice." majority of that body were found
in favor of divesting it Of its offensive
features, and embodying in it assurances
of desire amicably" TO adjust the controver-
sy. In the mean while. Mr.. Benton, after pre-
serving througho the discussion mysterious ST.
lence, completed the triumph Of the Party of
Peace by his mastery calculation of the titles of
the respective parties to the territory 50 long IN
misunderstanding the Fifty -four Forties, and pre-

Government the mean while had been induced 10

temper in which it passed. To Mr., Cal

much to say that if he had yielded 10 the power

many others, by cooperating with the Admins

Of the session, pacific adjustment would have
been impossible. War, as Mr.. Cass proclaimed,
would have been " inevitable. Do we 20 too
far then, when we say, that, for this act of mo-
raj courage and true patriotism MIR. Calhoun de-
serves the thanks and gratitude of his country
menl Whether the Presidency be n suitable re-
ward for such service, it is not our purpose now
to enquire. As we have heretofore said, 1t is too
soon to open that question. When the proper
time shall arrive, the country will be prepared,
with all the lights that may then be before it, to
weigh the claims of Mr.. Calhoun, as well as those
of other candidates, with better means of reach
ing n wise conclusion than 1t perhaps now posses
SEES. Until that period shall arrive we content our
selves with these general observations.

Daughter TO Prayer"
Pray tbon for all who living tread
Upon this earth of graves;
For all whose weary pathways lead
Among the winds and waves;
For him who madly takes delight
In pomp of silken mantle bright
Or swiituess of a horse;
For those who, laboring, suffer still,
Coming or going-dOing Ill
Or on their heavenward course.
Pray thou for him who nightly sins
Until the day nawns bright
Who at ewes nour Of prayer begins
His dance and banquet light;
Whose impious orgies wildly ring,
While pioUs hearts are Offering
Their prayers at ~ light dim;
And who, those vespers all forgot,
Pursues mis- sins and thiukcih not
God also hearetb HIN.
Child ! pray for all the poor beside,
The prisoner in his cell,
And those who in the city wide
With crime and misery dwell
For the wise sage who thinks and dreams !:
For him who impiously blasphcmcs
Religions holy Law
Pray thou-for prayer is infinite
Thy faith may give the scoruer ligbt.
Thy prayer forgiveness draw.
