The Defeat OF Liberty.
By JOSHUA L. RUSSELL.

The struggle has ended on valley and plain
And the waves OF commoiion peaceful again;
" Hope bids for season farewell 10 the world"
Aud fIeedIm her flag of resistance has fui led.
From The SHOWS Of the UrsI to the foam Of The man,
All Europe in silence is wearing the chain
Save where on the banks Of the Seine and Garonne
The Frenchmsn exuts in his freedom alone,
As waking al last 10 new life from his iIanee,
he ptoclaims both the freedom and glory Of France
Those dark waving corn-helds and hills Of the vine
Are now aud forever, Liberty, thine
But the star that Ger Rome ia its splendor arose,
And seemed a bright future Of Hope d-cIose.
That gilded the Tibers dark waves as they rolled,
EcpsIrg in spendor the Eagles Of old,
Has'sunk at the threshold Of Liberiys home
Aud been quenehed in the blood Of the of Rome
Whose remnants OF manhood wander sfar,
While their homes ate usurPei by The miniOns Of
On thy bark. Ganbadi, may fate smile,
As exiled il wanders from mainland 10 isle,
And this thought cheer thy AIDES sigh for Rome
Better fIeedOm In Exile than bondage home.
And still may the heart Of old Europe be stirred,
AZ from the blue Alps great Mazzini is head.
But where are The Msgyats that bsttled long
Tb, eaTs. Iish.ansd 81 hs hioad ,na
And the Danube and Thesis floating the slain;
Aud some are in exile, aud those who remain
TO weep DER their eosntTy, wearing the chain,
With fear in each step and dread in each BREATH
No freedom for them but in exile or death.
Loud they sigh for their heroes who wander afaT,
Their sages IN peace and their heroes in war;
Aud curse the foul name Of the traitor who sold
Himself ami his county, and freedom for gold;
And Hungary, the gallant the noble and brave,
OeIeome by the tyrant has sunk 10 her grave:
No, not 10 her grave, noble spirit forgive,
While breathes there Kossuth will Hungary live
The statesman and warrior, though strong right
When Europe united, he sunk in the fight;
He was vanQushed and fed from their meTciess wrath,
With the blood Of the Magyar still red in his path
Far southwark he hasten~, where mighty to save,
The Crescent is shielding The noble and brave,
As IT CLEANS OIL the isle-siudded Egean's food,
And sieTny d. hcs the hece seekers Of blood
But TO Liberty bid sdieu FOE awhile
The nations no longer rejoice in her smile.
From the bank Of The Danube, The Tiber and Pc,
Reluctantly parting her footsteps fall slow.
II Ind am pagfhr ma an mani
To weep o'cr the heroes that died in her cause;
And finding in Europe haven Of rest.
Let her again her hame in the West,
Aud h"d, my loved country, at last, that in thee,

CoYGREssIoNAL.-It is said that there is clear
majority in both Houses for the admission of Cali

the 18th inst, there in the House only about
seventy out of two hundred and members, who
were opposed TO her admission. The geographical
line was distinctly drawn upon the question. The
Southern members always certain of votes enough
to call the yeas and nays, ard can. therefore, always
obstruct action by demanding them, motions TO

that they will continue during the session. The
