The last page OF the Year's recording book
Is we'll nigh written pause. o Time, thou Scribe
While wo turn DER it's leaves and backward look;
An, vain request,--not all the human tribe
Could, with blent supplance or offerings, bride
That pen, which for an instant neer forsook
Its busy work, since the behcst it took
Each hearts,, each moments history to inscribe
But Conscience whispers of full many a thought,
Or word, or Decd to Times great record brought.
Which tears of pcntence would fain erase.
Dread Book let thy last page at least, be fraught
With some good action or resolve, whose trace
Shall meet the smile of Heavens approving face.

DAsIEI WEBSTER, Secretary Il State.

- EXCITING ScENE.--The Charleston Sfandard says
he most thrilling Of the session OF the South
6rolina Legislature that in the House be-
Tween MIR. Huison and Colonel John s. Preston, 1t
krose the report OF the latter upon the Calhoun
Pand Butler monuments. Mr.. Hutson opposed the
build monuments since IL yet remained TO be set
tied whether MIR. Calhoun's doctrines were to be
triumphant or dshonored. He minated that the
supposed decision at the last October elections, If
considered final. had placed the State in an atti-
tude TO dishonor the memory of Mr. Calhoun, and
that the people OF the State were unworthy to erect
n monumcnt to him. These remark reused Colonel
Preston 10 immediate and thrilling reply. He
said that lac regarded tho government OF this State
AS Democratic republican, and his reading taught
him that, under this form, the voice of the people,
Through their constituted Inodes,' was not only
the rule OF the State, but the honor OF the ate.
In October last, that voice had been proclaimed
over the land. He who stigmatises it's decree is a
slanderer of his country; he who rejects its rule
n traitor, and deserves traitors doom. II there
be dishonor in the State, which there is not il is
with those who strive 10 give vitality to ephe-
neral clanior, which rose with the insects Of May,
and was silenced with the frosts of October Most
of those who Joined In or were deluded by this
clamor arc viruous and patriotic. and yield 10 the
sovereign decree which dispclled it. But if there
be those who still cling TO its purposes, and are
willing to take up the dust of Calhoun and Butler
to give them life, neither virtue, nor patriot
ism, nor the honor of tho State, be brought to
sanction the effort. Thus Col p. continued 10
maintain that the voice Of the people 10 the power
and rule, and honor of the State. He spoke with
electrifying effect. his large manly form shaking
with unuttcrablc feeling, and his unrivalcd clocn
made apprcciabe. There was there could be, no
reply made to him. 1t clear that he had car
ried the feelings and judgment OF the House, and
that taunts and sneers were silenced-
