was disposed to raise an issue between the gentle
man and himself, he would say that the gentleman
has to do with business out of the House than
anyten members If he understood the gent eman' g
peregnations the for his being often out of
the House is that he is engaged in more pleasant
occupation. Instead of staying here to listen to man.
ly voices, he is lured away by sweet sounds. He
the primrose path of dalliance treads. He likes fine
dancing and pleasant singing more than the hoarse
croaking sounds in this Hall. The gentleman from
Tennessee is too often absent himself to note his
Mr.. Sanlys) absence. There have been ten speech
es on the Democratic side to one on the Wing SIDE
In proof of this he would refer the Congressional
Globe, that the House and country should know it,
He had endeavored to get this bill through, and had
never spoken upon it except to the purpose, and only
once consumed five minutes of the time.
Mr. Polk said he did not anticipate, when he made
the remarks which he did, that the gentleman from
North Carolina would go into an investigation of the
number of times he had been in the House and the
number of times absent He (Mr. Polk) did not 90
into that sort of investigation into his conduct and
condemn him; he would not undertake to investigate
even in general terms the conduct of any fellow-mem
Der on this floor. But he would say 10 the gentle
man that he would refer to the journals, where it
would be found that he has been regularly in at
tendance as the gentleman. He had been in constant
attendance, and paid strict attention to the public
business as the gentleman had ; and he would say,
further, that when the gentleman cast such reflection
as that a. member has not attended to the public bust
ness. he should be ashamed of it, as he in his
conflict with the aboiitionst of Ohio. Such thing
he (Mr. Polk) could not do; he could not herald to
the country, and to gen,leman's constituents,
charge of neglect of business, unless he could pro-
duce the facts He would not hazard his reputation
by stating what was not correct according to the
ords of the House.
MIR. Stanly had no doubt that the gentleman did
not anticipate investigation of his conduct else he
Mr. Pok) would not have thrown the first rock. 1t
is not fair for gentleman who consumes time out of
the House to say that he Mr.. Stany) consumes time
here. Let the gentleman not now complain; no man
has more reason to fear such investigation. The
hoN ho hn
(Mr. Stanly) had acted. Mr.. Stanly was obliged to
him and said, in conclusion, that if the gentleman
continued to talk in that way, there might be
fict of which he would have to be ashamed. other
than that with the'gentleman from Ohio.
Various amendments discussed and agreed
to; and, when the committee rose, the bill was re-
ported 10 the House, but not finally acted upon.
A motion was made that when the House adjourn
it adjourn to meet on Monday next. This was dis
agreed to.

OH! COME TO ME-!

BY MISS V. r.. FOWLER.
Oh! come to me whsn Spring is come
When birds are gay, and flowers bloom
When zephyrs lift an airy wing,
Made fragrant by the fow'rs of Spring
When violets deck the verdant hills
When music echues from the rilis--
When all is beautiful to see,
When nature smiles, oh come to mo.
Oh! come to me when morning breaks
In sunshine DER the CLASSY lakes
And gay birds wake the merry strain,
That wanders DER the budding plain
When brighter grows each rising beam,
And earth fairy spot doth SEEM
When all is joyous harmony
With sunny smiles, oh! come to me.
Oh! come to nae in fancy bright;
When twilight deePens into night
When moonlight lends its silver beams,
And stars are mirror'd in the stream
When soft light reveis in my bower
And memory gilds the pensive hour;
And murmurs all of Hope and Thee
In visions bright, oh come to me.

EXCITEMENT IN WILMINGTON. A person styling
himself the Rev. f. Leahey, d. D." and profess
ing to be Monk of La 'rrappe, advertised to give
lectures in Wilmington in the first part of the present
week, upon the doctrines and practices of the Romsh
Church his subject being Popish Nunneries and
Auricular Confession'' By the Wilmington Herald
learn that this individual processes to have been
formerly Catholic Priest, and that his efforts are
directed against that Church. He delivered the
lectures according notice (males only being admit
ted) and it will be seen by the following. which we
copy from the Journal of the 24h that his discourses
approved of by the citizens of that town-or
some of them at least:
"We deeply regret to learn that some disturban-
ces occurred the lecture the Masonic Hall last
night. We had been engaged with some business
which occupied Affection until about eleven
O'Clock, and coming round to the Carolina Hotel,
at that hour, found some Protestant gentlemen of
high standing in the community, very much excited
the lectures, which they considered disgrace to
the town. We would beg them and all good citizens
10 remember that, whatever they may think OF these
lectures, itneran is capable of rejecting dis
grace upon community like this, but that it would
be deporable indeed, if on such account the name
lence or any good and true become inv olved as
parlicipators in such scenes.
Some of the citizehs presented petition 10 the
Board of Commissioners, setting forth that Leahey
lectures were " likely to endanger the peace of the
town, and corrupt the morals of society,", and asking
that proper steps be taken to prohibit him from lecu
ring again. The Commissioners replied that however
much they might regret the circumstances that have
led the petition, they did not think it their duty,
unless riot breach of the peace was to occur
Upon the WHOLE Mr.. Leahey has created quite ex-
element among the good citizens of Wilmington.
