Ny flesh is weary, and my heart is sad
Who in her secret places grieves to see
Herself deserted by those thoughts of thee
Which in her days of innocence she had
Her slumbcrs peaceful and her mornings glad
Long lost, thou gentle spirit Of my Love,
How shall court thee to return to me
My soul is mourning for her mated dove,
Left all alone if separate from thee.
Where art thou, Love mo voice responds to mine
Yet by my slecpess pillow, Lo! see

FAMINE IN IRELAND.

4 letter in the National lntelligencer
states that the number OF deaths which had
already occurred in IRELAND from famine and
its attendant miseries, was fifty thousand.
Some time has elapsed since the letter COM

there is too much reason to fear that the num-
Der Of victims has been largely increased.
We have published numerous eloquent ap-
peals in behalf ofthe distressed peasantry o {

MIR. UPHAM'S SPEECH,

We give 10 our readers this week, a part
ofthe excellent speech of our Senator Up
ham, upon the three million bill, The SEN
iiments which he utters will be fully rcspon-
ded to by the people OF Vermont, who most
cordially detest the war with Mexico, as an
offensive war against a neighboring repub-
lie, founded upon neither necessity or nation
al honor. and ~i,A' g worst Of all is waged
avowedly for the extensioniot slave territory.
He combais powerfully with arguments and
example for the constitutional right Of Con-
gress TO iniorce restrictions upon slavery in
the territories. He shows clearly that sla-
very was repugnant TO the feelings of every
Southern statesman in 1776, who regarded
i; as mighty evil. which should byno means
be extended; and londly anticipated its final
abolition, He shows that slavery is IN ele-
meut Of weakness and danger in the Gov
eminent anda sad blight upon national pros
pects, and closes by exhibiting the unequal
basis OF slave representation in the govern
ment We like his speech because it is con-
cise and because every proposition is based
upon quotations, statistics, which cannot be
gainsayed.

HUMANITY OF LOUIS PHILIPPE.

Lord George BeHtipck mentioned in the
House Of Commons on the 22d Of February,
fact highly to the credit of the present King
Of France and his Minisiers-that while
$4,000 persons had been allowed 10 perish of
starvation in Ireland. notwithstanding the
warnings received by Lord John Russell as
TO destructive harvest in Europe, Mons.
Guizot and his colleagues had bought in
time. not less than two millions Of quarters,
eighteen millions ofbushels.) Of grain, and
it was so managed that not man woman or
child had died in France Of starvation. Sew
eral journals. quoted in The Nation estimates
the deaths in ireland from absolute want, at
$4,000, and it is stated that such is the police
report of the Constabulary Office in The city
of Dublin.
