comlnendatory notices of this fine effort, we
clip the following. The correspondent of thee
Spartan, a member Of the House and one oft
editors of the paper, says:
"Mr. Chestnut is speaking ably, logically,
and eloquently. I am delighted. My own
opinions are being delivered with more ability
than have the presumption to claim. He is
demonstrating the certainty. at least the high
probability, Of the Union Of all the staple States
for our common purpose; and deprecating any
rash or precipitate separate action on the part
of our State. He speaks still and rises whit

And fatigued with The work of his own desolation,
Looks around with smile on the Grave of the

Since the last solemn reign this day ofreection,
What throngs have relnqushediife;s perishing

How many have shed the last tear of detection,
And closed the dim eye in the darkness of death1
How many have sudden their pilgrimage ended,
Beneath the low pail that envelopes ths bier;
Or TO deaths lonesome valley have gently de-
scended a,
And made their cod beds with the Grave of the
Year. 49,
IT'S the Year that SO late, with new beauties de-
closing,
Rose BRIGHT on the happy, the careless and gay,
Who now On their pillows of dust are reposng
Where the sod presses dampon their bosoms of
clay.
Then talk not OF bliss-while our smiles are ex-
piring,
Disappointment still browns it in misery's tear;
Reflect and be wise, for the day is retiring,
And tomorrow will dawn on the Grave of the
Year.
Yet awhile and no seasons around us will flourish,
But Silence for each her dark mansion prepare,
Where Beauty no longer her roses shall nourish,
Norihe lily o'erspread the wan cheek. of despair;
But the eye shall with lustre untaded be brighten

When it wakes to true bliss in yon orient sphere,
BY sunbeans in spendour immortal enlightened.
Which no more shall 60 down on the Grave Of
