OUR BABY.
pY rHGDE CAREY.
When the morning. half in shadow,
Ran along the ~ and meadow,
And with milk. White fingers parted
Crimson roses, golden hearted:
Opening over ruins hoary
lv,ry purple morning-glory,
An outshaking from the bushes
Singing larks and pleasant thrushes;
That's the time our little baby,
strayed frsa Paradise it may be,
Came with eyes like heaven above her,
O, we could not choose but love her!
Not enough Of earth for shining,
Always gentle, always winning,
Never needing our reproving,
Ever lively, ever loving;
Starry eyes and sunset tresses,
White arms, made for light carcsse',
Lips, that knew no word Of doubling,
Often kissing, never pouting;
Beauty even in completeness,
Overfull of childish sweetness;
That's the way our little baby,
Far too pure for earth, it may be,
Seemed to us, who while about her
Deemed we could not do without her,
When the morning, half in shadow,
Ran a'ong the hill and meadow,
And with milk white fingers parted
Crimson roses, golden hear.ed;
Open over ruins hoary
Every purple morning glory,
And ou,shaking from the bushes
Singing larks and pleasant thrushes;
That's the time our little baby,
Pining here for heaven it may be,
Turning from our bitter weeping,
Closed her eyes as when sleeping,
And her white hands on her bnsom
Folded like summer blossom.
Now the litter she doth lie on,
Strewed with roses, bear 10 Zion;
Go. as past pleasant meadow
Through the valley CT the shadow;
Take her softly, holy angels.
Past the ranks Of Gods evangels;
East the saints and martyrs holy
To the Earth.Born, meek and lowly,
Wewould have our precious blossom
Softly laid in Jesus bosom.

American sympathy for the Gar.

Several Of the papers OF this State have oeca-
sionally expressed establishment at the fact that
a feeling Of sympathy for Russia, in the struggle
now going on III Europe, seems to predominate
in the American mind. We see room Tor
astonishment in this. Every well infotmed man
is aware of the fact that England and France
do look with jealous eyes upon the rapid terri
torial growth, and correspondingly increasing
national wealth and power, of these United
States. The public men, as well the unit, d
press of these kingdoms, by their uniform course
for years past, have removed every cause of
doubt on this head. And even now, when those
Governments are engaged in awar with Russia,
we find that they threaten to send to the West
Indian waters force of 400 guns with view
to compel the Yankees to draw III their
horns" Speaking of this matter the London
3 Herald says:-
1--WE trust that this force will be quite suffi-
cient to induce the Yankees to draw in their
horns, and behave with decency to weaker as
well stronger powers. If not, there are not
only means, but inclinations. we believe, to COM
pei them. The impudent bully of the Cyane,
who was sorry there was not an English man of
muda may have chance of picking up
his match if his Government dare to intrust him
with command"
With such an article before an American, he
cannot fail to see how ridiculous is all that talk
about the entente cordidle now said to exsist be-
tween the United States and the Governments
of France and England. A Paris correspondent
of the n. Y. Times remarks as follows upon the
subject ".ae
England and France are agreed to interfere
in the southwark tendencies Of; the United
States, and they have chosen this winter to do
it, Perhaps the fleets. whose operations were
batfled by the imminence of ice, will be able to

hope expressed six months ago. that the allied
fleets in the Euxine, aud everywhere else, may

American who desires that the arms of the al
lies be crowned with success, virtually desires

The Memory of the Heart.

The following is said to be the only piece of
poetry written by Mr.. Webster
If stores of dry and learned lore we gain,
I'VE keep them IN the memory of the brain;
Names. things and facts-whate'er we know
- ledge call;
There is the common ledger for them all
And images on this cold surface traced
Make sli ght impression and are soon effaced.
But we've page more glowing and more
bright,
On which our friendship and our love to write !;
That these may never from our souls depart,
We trust them to the memory of the heart.
There is no dimmng, no etfacemen here;
Each new pulsation keeps the record clear;
Warm, golden letters ali the tablet fill.
Nor lose their lustre till the heart stands still.

THE CAPITAL QUEsTIoN-As the decision of
Chief Justice Murray is too lengthy for our col
umns, we will give the gist of it, which is as fol-
lows: .
Three sessions of the Legislature have been
held by virtue of the Act OF February 4th, 1851.
Vested rights have grown up under It's provis-
ions, and unless it be constitutional, hesitate
not to say, that by every rule OF law the legis-
lation OF the last two years Is dead letter upon
the statute book.
| hold that the place is an essential ingredient
to correct legislation, as much so as it is to a
proper administration of justice; and if decis-
ion would be caram non jndicio, because the
Court was not holden at the place appointed by
law. by parity of reasoning, the acts of the
Legislative body done at any other place than
the appointed place, must be equally voii That
there can be de tqciO seat of government. or
thar the reason which would operate to cause
and render obligatory the acts OF de tacto Off
Ger, can apply to this case is proposition cam
not assent to-
For these reasons am OF opinion
Ist-That the act of February 4, 1854, is not
unconstitutional; but on the other hand, was a
proper exercise OF legislative power and discre-
ton. with which we cannot interfere.
End That sand act operated absolute
removal, which not defeated by the breach
of subsequent, additions.
3D. That after the first removal majority
might remove, and that majority of both houses
of the Legislature having passed law to that
effect, Sacramento City is by law the gal Cap
ital of the State
Judgment reversed with costs.

ryThe electors OF Massachusetts on the 18th
inst, decided on sending number OF clergy
men, mainly from the Methodist. Universaist
and Congregational denominations. TO represent
them in the Legislature. The reverend legisla-
tors ii is to be hoped will not quarrel about the
chapaincies: and think more of the prayers OF
the petitioners than of their own 1t cannot be
said of the Massachusetts Legislature as 1t has
been said of other law w-making bodies, that 1t Is
composed ola goddess set
We beg leave TO dissent with the remark con-
tanned IN the last sentence The fact that the
Legislature of Massachusetts contains a large
number OF preachers, is the best possible evil
dence that IT is composed of a goddess set
No traitor was evera good man-and especially
goddess is the man who abandons the cause Of
Christ to mingle in what's generally considered
the dirty pool of politics political-relisionist
Is the abomiuation of every true lover of the
cause of Christ.

KAYzAs AND NEsRAsKA.-A northern man
writing to the Boston Post from Nebraska, in
giving his reasons for the opinion that slavery
will not be attempted in these Territories
makes the following sensible remarks:
The matter stands thus: this act authorizes
us to choose our oscn institutions. People in the
States say we are not lit to do So And they
make their elections strange to say, turn upon
this issue. On the contrary, we say that we
are capable of making their own laws; that we
are Just competent to vote here we should
be in Massachusetts or Ohio. Shall we disdain
a law, then, which treats us as men, and SYM
palhize with disclaimers who denounce us the
scum of society and drinkers of bad whiskey ?
Shall we deride men who have conferred upon
us our proper constitutional rights, and invested
us with responsibility which all citizens
should share inl We must be shallow indeed
to do SO. All that our organic act does is to
leave the question for us to determine, just
we should have right to do after we become
State; and no man who favors republican prin-
ciples consistently object to such policy.
| repeat that the measure will be popular
among anti-savery men in Kanzas. And after
the excitement subsidies, the sober second
thought will favor it through the country

eases accompanying these tevers such as Liver
