Alas! they had been friends in youth;
But whispering tongues can poison truth,
A nd consiancy lives in realms above;
And life is thorny. and youth is vain,
And To be wroth with one we love,
Doth work Ike madness on the brain.
And thus il CHANGED, as devine,
With Roland and Sir Leoline.
Each spoke a word of igh disdain
And insult to his hearts best brother
They parted-ne'er to meet again
But never either found another
To free the hollow heart from paining-
They stood aloof, the scars remaining,
Like cliffs which had been rent asunderj
dfeary sea now flows between.
But neither heat. nor frost, MOI thunder
Shall wholly do away ween, .,

Friendship is too holy thing to be lightly
thrown away, or to be made the sport OF ca
price. And yet how often it is thus trliied
with-how often has word, spoken III haste
or an act, thoughtlessly committed, been the
means of making enemies of those who before
had been united by the closest ties of friend
shin. A word of explanation or confession
,rioht have atoncd for all, and put stop to
the feelings of enmity beginning to kindle, but
bride forbade; and thus those who were
friends in youth, like Roland and Sir Leolne,
meet one another in manhood or IN age with
Looks Of cold indifference or with brows KNIT
i, hate. Now how much OF misery IS pro-
duced by these unnecessary and unnatural
e,mities. Nothing throws deeper gloom on
,,e mind than the ennity or indifference OF
,hoso we once loved-nothing fills the heart
.;th more melancholy feelings than the recol-
lection of those who were once united TO us
hv tbe strongest ties of friendship, but whose

He explained that the President having in
formed congress, in his annual message, that
the republic of Mexico nao no other means Oh
indemnifying our citizens but by the cesslon
of her territory, the object OF the resolutions
was to ascertain the grounds on which the
President founded the expectation of obtain
inc Mexican territory as indemnity. Mr..
Baldwin regarded the power OF the Mexican
government to cede any portion of her states
as doubtful, which power was not conferred
by her constitution, nor by the laws OF ma
tons.
Mr.. Hannegan maintained that as Mexico
was not republic, but nothing more nor
less than an anarchy, we had right to Jake
by cession any portion of her territory
Whether Mexico had the power to cede was
not the question for us, but her to decide
As to our own practice, we had asserted that
the disputed north eastern boundary belonged
to us. Yet we coded away part. Our exc
cutiye had decided that the whole OF Oregon
was ours, and yet we had given up two-thirds
