the settlemsnt of His question: Instead Of
that be undertakeato support a plan of adj
Eustrnent, which he defends on the ground
that y acdhnplishes practically, all that New
England fanaticism demands, whilst it averts all
that New England avarice fears He delivered
a speech Immediately after Mr.. Butler; and in
that speech Mr.. Webster did not, for he could
not answer single argument of Mr.. Butler.
But Mr.. Webster began by deprecating agi-
tation; he resorted to the.very. common, and
for him, we must say, very unworthy, expe-
dent Of confounding and denopncing as ultras,
those of the South who contend for her rights,
and those Of the North who assail them. And
the very best argument that Mr. Websters ge-
MUS could devise in support of the present
Compromise scheme was, That it undertook to
settle the question Of territory between the two
sections as nature Or the laws Of God would
settle them, Now, ifthis were 80, why does Mr.
Webster seek to give the ratification of Con
gress to the understandable and unparalleled
proceeding in California Ito her mQnstrous
claim of boundary? Why does he seek to
change or fix the boundary of Texas and New
Mexico! If the settlement Of those territories
is regulated by Natures laws, why resort to eve
ny species Of inforinality, Of invalidity in posi-
tive law to effect the same thing! Why vote
blank millions Of dollars to change existing
boundaries? Natures laws must be very weak,
indeed, to depend for their enforcement on
Congressional Omnibus bills, on vast appropria-
tons from the Treasury, on unprecedented
usurpations Of power, on the disregard Of all
previous ,usages, and on such arguments as Mr.
Webster's.d When Mr.. Webster in the same
speech in which he reiterates the oft repeated
expressions Of love for the Union, undertakes
to infer treason from tho address of the Nash
Vile ConventiOn--a convention that confined
itself to an adherence to an old and established
line of compromise when he attempts to cast
this imputation in, q speech Of his, devoted to
the violation Of the spirit Of that compromise,
he undertakes 4 task in which all his ingenuity
and all his authority will prove abortWe--and

that one, who had suffered such merciless
cruci6xion from the INCONSISTENCY of wo-
man, would have exercised great caution
in the formation of any new connexions.
Unfortunately the very reverse proved to
be the fact John Taylor. without wife,
was always running mad with love, while

jealousy. He welded half a dozen beau

itoches, where he then resided. Having
lost so many bright birds. he determined
to make sure of this. He provided iron
shutters to all his windows; laid in plen-
tiful supply of fuel, food ard water; locked
up his charmer; hung out sign, inscrib-
ed: This is private dwelling into which
there can be no admittance;" aud started
for Baton Rouge court, to be absent three
weeks.
He returned. and found his beautiful
bird gone. She made ner way to Arkan-

an acquaintance passing at the date of her
arrest for the homicide, recognized her,
and sent the news to Taylor, which &C.
counts for his timely appearance at the
trial. Yet l could not learn that he ever
attempted to live with her again.
He resides now at Marshall, Harrison
county, Texas; though he is scarcely to
be found at home once year, sweeping
as he does circuit as wide as the limits

saere was time, long, long ago,
When blissful dreams were mine,
when all the earth did seem to glow
With love and joy divines
Whom thoughts as gay as songs of birds
Were fitting through my brain,
And robbed the worlds cold selfish words
OF all their power to pain.
But, as upon summers sky,
Where all is calm and clear,
Will sweep tempest rudely by
And all is dark and drear;
So passed that time Of blissful dreams,
Those thoughts SO pure and bright,
And, like the Iightning's fitful CLEANS,
We're lost in rayless night.
Yet often in my lonely hours
A vision bright appears
OF wildwood scenes and summer bowers
knew in other years;
And mid the tangled wild flowers there,
As beautiful as gay,
! see that gentle maiden fair,
Who stole my heart away.
