accounts will be settled by the commissioners again
The House have resolved to take no other notice OF
the (Brtsh) merchants complaints concerning their
sterling debts, than in short address to the Cover

that every thing has been done that could reasonably
be expected under our present circumstances. How

ODD FELLOWS ODE.
BY r. J. oTTERsoN,
OF .Ne,y York.

Of .Ne,c Fork,
AL Hail the glorious work Of LOVE!
Auspiciously begun!
The Angels from their home above,
Will gaze with gIadness down,
And Chsrub back to Seraph call,
To leave his shining throne;
And smiling from the crystal wall.
Will bless our Corner Stone.
That Stone whose mural strength shall bear
A Temple broad and high.
Where Love shall wave his banner fair,
And Truth and Franlahir viz
To smooth the rugged path of Life,
To fright Disease away,
To guard from Want, and Wrong, and Strife
And Sorrows pain allay.
ATempe where no narrow creed
Projects chosen few;
It holds alike deserved and need
To Christian, Turk, or Jew.
Would that its walls could be as wide
As yonder ether blue,
That Adams race might all abide
In Love and Friendship true!
Then Hail! the noble work Of Love
Old Tyrannies shall fall
The Vulture nestle with the Dove,
When Ger this earthly ball.
The peaceful Temple Of the Odd
Shall stand lixe cedars tall,
When Man shall live the laws Of God,
And Love be all in all
