A SIGN.-The Wing committee of the lIth ward
having on Tuesday evening last passed resolutions
in favor of Seward Agitation Abolitionism the
Wing electors held n meeting the followin q
evening, and passed resolutions censuring the
ward committee, and denouncing Sewardism. The
following are two Of the resolutions:
RESOLVED, That VIC heartily approve Of the high
minded and patriotic course of the general Ad-
mnistration in Its efforts TO settle the unfortunate
difficulties so long agtnting the country, and that
any attempt on the part Of any individual, how.
ever high in office, to further agitate the subject
now amcably settled, or to connect the Wing party
OF the United States with that species of Abolition
ism which preferred James X. Polk to Henry Clay,
will forever meet with our unremitted and deter
mined opposition.
ResOired, That VIC arc, VIC ever have bey,
opposed to the extension of slavery over free terri
tory, but VIC are opposed 10 cngrafting upon the
Wing platform of the Union sentiments similar TO
those adopted at the late Syracuse convention,

"PRoCLAMATIoS. w hereas the people Of New
Mexico, by public meetings held in the difieren
counties of the Territory, have manifested desir,
to hold convention to form State constitution
and to urge upon Congress the admission of III,
Territory as a State of the Union: Therefore,
John Munroe, Military and Civil Governor Of sale
Territory, order,' &c, sc.
From this extract it will appear that the
proclamation for the call of convention was
based upon the ''public meetings held in the
different counties" of the Territory of New
Mexico, and not upon Federal edict. We
think therefore, that the first charge of EXecu-
tive dictation is fully met and refuted. We turn
now to the charge that '.Mr. FILLMORE, in de
fiance of right and justice, had sanctioned the
alleged illegal proceedings of General TAy-
LoR's Cabinet" Upon this point we shall
cite but single witness-one unexceptionable
in the estimation of the Union. Mr. BAYLY
in a circular addressed to his constituents and
published in the Union of the 18th inst, says
The present Administration preferred the es-
adjustment Of territorial governments to the
admission of New Mexico as a State" This
we should consider perfectly conclusive. And
without an impeachment of the testimony Of
Major WEIGHTMAN and Mr.. BAYLY, or a de
NAL of the official evidence presented by tn,
proclamation OF Governor MUNRoE, we can
not conceive how the Union can in common
magnanimty, forbear to withdraw the charge
that the Military Commandant, under the in
structions Of the late administration, ''set Of
foot movement for forming a State govern
ment' in New Mexico; and that "Mr. FILL
MORE had, in defiance of right and justice
sanctioned the proceedings of General TAY
LoR's Cabinet" in regard to the formation o
a State government in New Mexico.

The MoNTEsoUIEus.-On Thursday morning,
about O'Clock, the elder Montesguieu made his
escape from his watches in the Sisters Hospital,
and found his way to the residence of Mr. Charles
Chouteau six or seven miles west of the city, as is
supposed in search of his brother Raymond. Not
finding him there, he Immediately set about re-
turning on foot refusing to ride in carriage ten
dered him, until near the city, when he was re-
turned to the hospital by his friends He is said TO
be more morose and uncommunicative than for
merly generally refusing to hold intercourse with
any person except his friend Mr.. Borg. Ought not
something to be done TO terminate the stay of the
Brothers Montesquieu and their friends in this CITY,
against their wish and consent? To us il seems to
SAVIOR strongly of cruelty, to bold them in the I'M
fortunate state of suspense in which they have re-
manned during the past ten months-St. Louis

The Gift ora Rosa

send thee, Mary, sweet young rose,
That bright with the hues of the sunset elows;
It's beauty, alas is frail and brief
1t will come TO thee with a withered leaf
But the fervent kiss that my earnest lips
Have left for thee on its crimson tips
VIII not from the fading flower depart,
But come all fresh TO thy lip and heart;
For oh, It's breath of the love and trust
That will live when our lips and hearts dust
Mary, dear Mary, pray love this flower,
Let 1t have for thy heart a spell of power;
For plucked it fresh from its lovely stalk,
On the blooming edge of that garden walk
Where we strayed together SO deeply blest
When the sun was low in the golden west
And murmured our loves in burning words,
With none to hear but the flowers and birds,
And fingered long on the dear sweet spot
While our warm hearts kissed, though our lips did
not.
Mary, dear Mary, my thoughts still cleave
To each memory sweet of that blessed eve,
To each tone more dear than the sweetest lutte,
TO each vow we breathed when our lips were mute
To the wild, deep thrill through each trembling
frame
From fingers warmed with pulse of flame,
To each gentle tear, TO each gentle sob,
To each sigh that told Of the hearts deep throb;
Ay, these memories dwell in this soul Of mine
Oh, Mary dear, do they live in timer
Mary, dear Mary, pray thee say,
DO the roses bloom where thy steps stray?
Do they look at morn the sky's soft blue
Through the trembling tears ofthe early dew
W, ", he ooihe W ltlSo VIII they smile 10 greet
Thy lovers steps with their perfume sweet.
WIZ they list at eve to our tender vows?
win they weave their wreaths for gentle browse
And when at last doomed to part
VIII they breathe sigh for each breaking heart
Mary, dear Mary, fain would know,
DO thy hearts sweet flowers keep their fresh young
glow?
Are their eyes yet turned on the skies above?
Do they glitter still with the dews of love?
Has no blighting frost, has no bitter blast,
cold heir
III my name is said, their leaves yet stirred
To the oden thrill al the cherished word?
And say, oh say, will those dear heart flowers
Still bloom for me in the Eden bowers?
