Resolutions were introduced which quote as
a preamble the language of John @. Adams,

Underwood OF KY, and Arnold of Tenn, re-
spectlng slavery, and add, therefore,
Resotced, In advocating the dissolution of
the Union, abolitionists are justified by every
precept of the Gospel, every principle of NOR
atty, every claim of humanity, that such
Union is covenant with death, which ought
to be annulled, and an agreement with hell,
which just God cannot permit to stand and
it is the paramount duty Of all to seek its inn

A private letter dated Salt Lake City, JAN
7th, says Judge Sinclair ljourned the grand
jury sine die, upon the petition of nine mem
bers, in which they declare inability to pro-
ceed in examination of witnesses in conse-
quencc of the excitement and violence mani
fetsed. The jury is composed of nine Gen
tiles and twelve Mornons, and factious
spirit ran so high that revovers were drawn
and general fight with difficulty was pre-
vented. Letters state that the idea of an i'm
partial jury or justice being obtained in that
city is preposterous, and martial law probably
will be established 90.

know not, but the word .-.
Sings in my heart, nor can Isay -
l dreamed the name, or heard;
Yet fragrant in my mind it clings
As blossoms after rain, .
And builds of halfremembered things
} This vision in my brain. ..
Through aisles of long drawn centuries
My spirit walks in thought, ,o. Z
And 70 thai symbol lifts its eyes -. -
Which Gods own pity wrought:
From Calvary shrines the affairs CLEAN, .
The Church East is there, q ,
The ages one great Minister seem
That throbs with praise and prayer. g.
And. all the way from Calvary down,
The curven pavement shows
Their graves, who won the martyrs crown,
And safe in God repose;
The saints of many q warning creed,
Who now in heaven have learned
That all paths to the Father lead
Where Self the feet have spurned.
And as the mystic aisles pace,
BY aureoled workmen built,
Lives ending at the Gross trace
Alike through grace and guilt; F..
One Mary bathes the blessed feet
With ointment from her eyes;
With spikenard one; and both are sweet,
For both are sacrifice.
Moravian hymn and Roman chant
In one devotion blend, .-
To speak the souls eternal want
OF Him, the inmost friend;
One PRAYER scars cleansed with martyr-fre,
One hoarse with sinners tears,
In heaven both plain with one desire,
And God one music hears.
While thus dream, the bells clash out
Upon the Sabbath air;
Each seems selfish faith to shout
A hostile form of prayer.
Ny dream is shortened, yet who knows
But In that heaven 50 near,
This discord into music flows
In Gods atoning ear.
O, chime of blessed Charity!
Peal soon that Easter morn,
When Christ from all shall risen be,
And in all hearts newborn!
That Pentecost, when utterance clear
To all men shall be given;
When all can say My brother here,
And hear My son In heaven.

THE BARD OF AYR.

The BURNS Centennial Festival at Chicago was q
briant affair. One of the most attractive features
Ct the occasion was grand procession, consisting
ei the Military. Firemen, Mayor, Aldermen, and
City Officers, Knights, &c. They marched through
e principal streets of the city, presenting an ex-
q .mely imposing pageant. The feature of the
yening was a concert at Metropolitan Hall, which
' IS attended, our Chicago exchanges say, by near
II three thousand persons and fully thousand
we're turned away for want of room. The celebra-
ion closed with a banquet and ball at the fremont
House, which was largely attended. The follow
iag beautiful poem, from the pen of BEN. +. TAY-
loR, of the Eoeniny Journal, was read at the Ban
qlet 1t is one of his best productions:
HopE her starry vigil keeping
Ger Campbell by the Clyde
By the Tweed a Wizard" sleeping
Shepherd" " by the Yarrow's side
Land Of glory, men of story,
Land o. mountains and OF men,
Did ye dream that song could die?
Banks and Braes be glad again,
ROBERT BURNS is passing by!
CHORUS.
Everywhere everywhere,
Smiles will break and tears will star,
Making ranbows round the heart,
PlOughman, Brother, Bard of Ayrl
Heart of Leal! Can this be dying,
Coming thus sublmely down!
Lo, an hundred winters signing,
Leave unstrown thy holly crownl
Not in sorrow dawns thy morrow,
"Higland Mary "'by thy side, 20
Making life and love keep time;
Beauty be thy deathless bride,
Weaving all our hearts in rhyme.
Heavy heart and smoky rafter
Growing light with Burns song
Calmer tears and clearer laughter
Plaided bosoms brave and strong;
Larks are singing-blue bells ringing,
Naked Heart in open palm
With thy Days Of Auld Lang L syne,"
Thou hast made all ages thine.
Now the thrush's silver sonnet
Trembling from the bloss9m'd thorn,
Winter floating white upon it,
Sweetest Lyric ever born
Bruce is breaking-W allace waking,
From the clasp of mighty Death.
Morven sweis the Doric song!-
Lads and lassies' blended breeth,
Gushes sweet all summer long!
Der the daisy in the furrow,
Bending low with loving words
From the mOuse's broken burrow-
Songs of burnles and of birds
Breezes biowing-riyers flowing,
Hark the beat Of Bonny Doom,
Logan, Devon, Alton, Ayr,
Braided in pleasant tune,
Highland Mary" in the choir!
CHORUS.
Everywhere. everywhere.
Smiles will break and tears will start,
Making rainbOwS round the heart,

for subscriptions in aid of the fund for the
purchase Of the million of muskets solicited to
secure the triumph Of Italian independence is

meet with generous and enthusiastic response
from all parts Of the Union. The New York

them Of immediate support, as soon as the sub

effect to the requests conveyed in these com

desiring to assist in this praiseworthy effort can
ubscribe. AS soon as the necessary arrange

be established in all the large cities Of the
Union. In the meanwhile, parties desiring to

When it is recollected that it is on the ability
displayed by the Italians to help themselves
