From the kuickerbocker.
THE SONG OF NIGHT.
| come, come, from the land of dreams,
And shadows | throw on the last beams
| come at the gentle twilight hour.
And softly close the bright leefd flower.
l steal from the lake and winding stream,
The siIvery glow oflhe suns last CLEAN:
breathe on the crest OF the gorgeous cloud,
And its gilded head is in chillness bowed
The feecy foam of the ocean wave,
As the sandy shore its waters leave,
But sparkles dim, as sea and land,
Are curtain'd by my sable hand.
On the violet's breast on the beachen tree,
l fold the wing OF the murmuring bee;
check the bound Of the graceful fawn,
And his bright eyes close till the opening dawn.
The liquid notes Of the woodland bird,
AT my approach are family heard,
As sinking meath the dark green leaves.
Her parting song she sweetly breathes.
My finger still on the infant lay,
And closed are his lids in the midst of play
And gently steal on the maiden fair,
As she softly murmurs her evening PRAYER
At my coming the peasant seeks his COT
And in peaceful dreams are his cares forgot;
While the sons of toll their labors close,
And refuge find in deep repose.
NV shadowy mantle around me fold,
AS tho mountain mists are backward rolled;
When mornings light DER my path way is cast,
vanish from earth-a dream OF the past.

From the Cleveland Herald.


1t is perfectly immate,al how often Gen. Cass may
authorze" his friends 10 deny his "noise and confu-
sion" speech at Cleveland, on the 18th of June l84S
On that occasion Judge Wood among other things
said
"And, sir, permit me, on this occasion, TO call your
attention to the fact that political opponents declare
you are opposed to the improvement of our western
rivers and harbors, and that we have always this
declaration with the assurance that Gen. Lewis Cas-
as western man, was fully Identified with the inter
ests OF the West, and could be opposed to the i'm.
proyements SO much needed by the people Of the West
and OF the whole country"
To this General Cass responded substantially as
follows Sir, the noise and confusion which pervades
this assembly will prevent my being heard the im-
portant topics TO which you have called my attention.
must therefore content mysel with thanking you for
the generous reception which |, the unworthy represen.
alve OF great Democratic party, have received al
your hands"
Such is the Heralds report of General Casss recep-
cepton, and that it is substantially correct, honest
man who heard the speech has ever denied.
But the Union on the authority OF General Cas-.
says: "Thera noise and confusion to prevent
hearing both question and answer; these existed only
in the SANDER got up for the OCCASION"
"Who shall decide when doctors disagreed" Tha
Plaindealer of June IT, General Cass's serviIe
organ, commences report of his speech thus-"Sir:
The noise and confusion which pervades this
semby will, apprehend prevent me from being dis
at s hs e n %S auh % s ysIy 9f xa
and haering reception which the citizens OF Ceve-
land have give me-"
Considerable confusion" exists between this Loco
foco report and the authorized denial of it by the gen
eral; and either his memory is very detective or about
those days. the Ptaindealer "straugly given to-
lying" The general and the editor can average"
the matter to suit themselves.
1On the 18th of Jurs the PlaRdealer said "The Her.
aid PIRATES about the generals evadng Judge Wood's
auson to the harbor and free territory questions.

General Cass, after stating hi letter OF acceptance
that his profession OF political faith clcsed WAS
going 10 depart from this most sensible rule to acco
MEDIATE this or any other partculul ocaiy."
tions-Genera Cass didn't answer them and did
plead "noise and confusion" We trust these specimens
of the whole CLOTH" out of which the report was

The First and Last Fatal Duel By Umoians
In the year 1920, duel was fought in Belleville,
St. Clair county, between Alphonso Stewart and
VIM. Bennett The seconds had made it up to be
sham duel; Stewart, one of the parties, was sup
posed to be in the secret; but Bennett, his adver-
sary, believed it to be reality. 1t is supposed
that Bennett somewhat suspected trick, and af-
ter receiving his gun from his second, rolled a
ball into it. AT the word fire, Stewart fell mortal
ly wounded. Bennett was indicted, tried, and con-
victed for murder. great effort was made to pro-
cure him pardon; but Governor Bond would yield
to no entreates, and Bennett suffered the extreme
penalty of the law, by hanging, in the presence of
a great multitude people.
This was the first and the last duel, which has
ever been fought in the State, by any of its citi
zens. The hanging of Bennett, made duelling dis
creditabe and unpopular; and laid the foundation
of chat adherence of the practice which has been
felt and expressed by the people of Illinois. The
present Judge Lockwood, was then Attorney
General of the State, and prosecuted in this case:
to his talents and success as prosecutor, the PEG.
Pile are indebted for this early precedent and eX-
ample which did more than is generally supposed
to prevent the practice of duelling from being in
trodueed into this State Chicago Ill.,. ADJ.

The porcelain travelling breakfast service of Ma
to her grandson the Prince de Canine, has by
him been presented to Major Cass, our Charge at
Rome, as testimonial for the latter's attentions to
the prince, upon the overthrow of the revolution
airy authorities. The prince is now in exile in
Switzerland. The service has been delivered
over to Major Cass, in Rome, in pursuance of
instructions from the prince to his agents in that
city. But can he constitutonally receive it The
last clause of Sec. 9. of Art. l. of the Constitu-
ton seems to us to prohibit its reception. Once a
"prince" always prince, we should say, though
in exile, and so temporarily powerless. The right
to receive is certainly questionable, at the least,
Richmond daily times. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1853, 1851-02-17

The Union,a few days since, on the authority of
General Cas- denied the and received
of his speech at Cleveland in ls4s. We were some
what surprised at this authorized denial, at so late
period; but published for what was and left the
question to be settled by the papers that first grave cir
culation to the report. We now find, in the Daily
Herald of Cleveland, a renewal of the statement,
which we commend to the attention of the Union.
