giiiyes from labor included, are received
and acquiesced in by the Wings Of the
United States, as final settlement. in
principle and Substance, OF the subjects to
which they relate, and SO far as these acts
are concerned, we will maintain them. and
insist on their strict enforcement, until
time and experience shall demonstrate the
necessity OF further legislation to guard
against the evasion Of the laws on the one
hand. and the abuse Of their powers on the
other--not impairing their present eff
cheney to carry out the requirements ofthe
constitution, and we deprecate all further
agitation Of the questions thus settled. as
dangerous to our peace. and will discoun.
tenance all efforts to continue or renew
such agitation, whenever, wherever, or
however made--and we will maintain this
settlement as essential to the nationality
OF the Wing party, and the integrity Of the
Union.

No doubt those wings, who were so anx.

not committed in favor OF the fugitive slave
law, are deeply mortified because the
General was in such hot haste to commit
himself in its favor.

knowledge your personal kindness in pre-
senting to me this day your letter officially
informing me Of my nomination, by the
Democratic National Convention. as

The surprise with which received the
intelligence Of fthe nomination was not un-
mingled with painful soliciude, and yet it
is proper for me to say that the manner in
which it was conferred was peculiarly
gratifying. The delegation from New

ON THE DEATH OF DR. LAWRENCE.
BY Friend.
Yes, thou art gone. forever gone
Nip'd in thy early bloom.
Nor could the art OF man defend
Thy body from the tomb.
D! cruel death, why hast thou past
So many others by;
Thy icy mantle DER him cast,
Say, tyrant, tell me why?
Was it because his virtuous mind
Was too serene and pure,
To longer be on earth confined,
Or Of its ills endure?
Was it TO make his kindred weep
Or give his friends to know,
That down in thy long silent sleep,
They all on earth must 60!
Was it to show thy sovereign power,
Must ever be obey'd,
AT whose command the opening flower
Must in moment fadel
But tyrant, know what e'er the cause,
OF thy approach might be,
To him a happy change it was,
He triumph'd over thee.
o yes, it cannot be denied,
lie own'd his Saviour's name,
And to his friends at the bedside,
His power did proclaim.
Yes thou art gone, forever gone,
Unto the courts above,
Thy spotless soul isnow array'd
In robes Of peace and love.
Truly TO thee, death had no sting,
Thy Saviour bid thee come;
Death could but tiny salvation bring.
For Jesus took thee home.
Then OF ye friends and kindred nigh,
No more his death bemoan; 4
But let US all prepare to die
In Christ, as he has done.

OBITUARY.

|
DIED-Alter a long illness, at the resi-
dence Of his father, in Monroe county, O.,
on Saturday evening, March 18th, DR..
G. w. LAWRENCE, aged 25 years.
The subject of this notice was a young
man Of great promise-was amiable and
gentle in all his ways, and had just enter
ed upon the duties of his profession, with
every prospect Of success. But, alasl all
his earthly schemes were frustrated ,and the
hopes Of his many friends blasted in their
very budding. Death-ruthess death
had selected him as his victim, and there
was no altern ative.
About month before his departure,
feeling that he was fast sinking. and hav-
ing desire to die at home, he returned to
his fathers house, sensible. as his letters
show, of his danger, and Of the importance
Of preparing to meet that solemn event.
A few days before his death he desired to
receive the ordinance of bapti,m; and az
ter that sacrament had been administered,
he became very tranquil and happy in
mind--talked much about Heaven, and
seemed to long for the courts OF God.
When his father exhorted him to trust in
Jesus. he exclaimed "Oh. he is precious
to my SOUL He has blessed mel Death
has no terrors now" And when the last
sad conflict came he affectonately EN-.
braced his parents and brothers, bidding
them long farewell, and inviting them 10
meet him where Moses and the Prophets
were.
Thus our brother passed away, in the
strength of his years, without struggle
in full hope of a blessed immortality.
