Ma. BAYS SPEECH ON THE SLAVERY Ours.

Mn. BAYS SrEEcn ON THE SLAVERY Ours.
rIOs.-The speech Of Mr.. Bay, our Represen.
tative in Congress from this district, has just
been received, and will no doubt be generally
read by his constituents. In our next we will
give to our readers the whole, or a s~uficien!
part of it to show the positions assumed by the
on the momentous question at issue. He
takes strong ground in opposition to the Prosiso
and in favor of the admission of California with
her present constitution. His position We un-
der'tand is, that Congress should restrict the
boundaries Of California as contained in her con.
s%titution. He delivers a eulogy upon the Union
as il is, and deprecates the agitation Of all ques.
tons calculated to ALLEVIATE the affections Of the
people.

The Emigration 10 California.

We learn from gentleman. Just from
St. Joseph, that the emigration that has
passed through that place, this season,
amouns to at least 10000 persons. In
elnding ST.. Joseph. Independence, Kansas
and those places, there has passed over
what is called the Missouri route. in all.
about 10000 persons. Our informant re-
ceived'this estimate from reliable authority.
We have no doubt it is correct.
1t is his opinion, from conversation had
with many of those at ST. Joseph, that, at
least one half of those who have started
for California, across the plains are sorry
they ever started on the journey. Pride
fear of the laugh and jeers of acquaint-
ances-deters them from returning. or
even 10 express desire TO return. Thus
thew punish themselves, and go ahead
Judging from the appearance of the crowd
al ST. Joseph, our informant thinks he
would not like to cross the plains in their
company. There seems TO be sort OF
desperation among many of the emigrants
IN consequence of the disappointment and
heart tsicknegs-which would render q trir

THE LAY OF THE FAMINE.
Bright was your noble eve, Kathleen,
Smooth wos your sunny brow,
On that fair morn, my Kathleen,
when you brea:hed your bridal vow;
Joy wove its choicest treasures round US;
Peace came with all her smiling train;
Mir,a in his magic circle bound US,
Whence fed the phan,oms, Grief and
Pain.
Few years have passed my Kathleen,
Since you breathed your brida vow,
Hope smiling DER us, Ka;hleen-
o God, TO see you now!
To see your blue eyes waning, waning,
To see your brow seam'd with pain!
To see gaunt hunger's red tooth draining
The Iife-bood from 9 ach thr obbipg vein
Fair was our frat born, Kathleen
AS It hung upon your breast;
Oh! weep not, weep not, Kat bleen.
Why mourn its speedy rest7
And tell me not it's smiles would tighten
ThSPangs that reyel through this heart;
Say, how could smiles its young cheeks
brighten,
While Famine struck with Venom d dart
Oar last, our youngest, Kathleen
Forgive this struggling tear.
Iss sinking cries, my Kathleen
Ring my ear.
God, to hear lis s,s.s,i Ss-wsilirE-
To see your look 6+J ksaiA--
When the moiher's fountain n faileg,

Res! on this bosom, Kathleen
ALL save your love is fed
Hs. what--py wife! my Kathleen.

Stare not with those eyes so blindly.

Speak! even coldly or unkindly-
