PROCLAMATION BY THE PREsI-
DENT

Whereas objects of interest to the
United States, require that the Sen
ate should be convened at twelve
O'Clock on the fourth of March next,
to receive and act upon such commu-
nications as may be made to it on the
part of the Executive:
Now, therefore, I, James Buchanan,
President Of the United States, have
considered it to be my duty to issue
this, my proclamation, declaring that
an extraordinary occasion reqaires the
Senate of the United States to con-
yene for the transaction of business at
the Capitol, in the city of Washing
ton, on the fourth day of March next,
at IL O'Clock at noon on that day, of
which all who shall at that time be
entitled to act as members Of that body
are hereby required to take notice.
Given under my hand and the seal
of the United States, at Washington,
the eleventh day Of February, in the
year of our Lord, one thousand eigh t
hundred and six " one, and of the In
dependence of the United States of
America the eighty fifth.
JAMES BUCHANAN.

SAFETY OF THE CAPITo L-Owing
to the apprehension Of conspiracy
for selling the public buildings, they
have been privately guarded, though
not in large force, for some weeks past
In addition to other fears, the blowing
up of the Capitol was regarded as an
event not impossible, and hence
every night a thorough examination
of the cellars and vaults of the build
ing have been made by the Capitol
police, to be sure that no explosive
materials had been clandestinely de-
posted for such purpose. On We'd
nesday the officers of the artillery were
on duty for the purpose of Immediate
ly communicating to Congress, should
any attempt be made to attack the
Capitol, and the military were ready to
advance at a minutes warning but
there was nothing whatever visible to
excite the least apprehension, and it
can be safely asserted that never, du
ring the last 90 years, at least, has the
counting Of the Presidential electoral
votes by better, if as good, order as
on the present occasion.

THE MYSTERY.

Thou art not dead-thou art not gone to dust,
No lines of all thy loveiiness shall fall
To ruthless ruin, smote by Time, and thrust
Into the solemn gulf that covers ali.
Thou canst not wholly perish, though the sod
Sink with the vioets closer to thy breast,
Though by the feet of generations trod,
The headstone q umbles from thy place of rest,
The marvel of thy beauty cannot die;
The sweetness Of thy presence shall not fade;
Earth gave not all the glory Of thine eye
Death cannot keep what death has never made.
It was of thine, that forehead strange and cold,
Nor those dumb lips they hii beneath the snow;
vhv heart would throt hereath the passive fold,
Thy hands for me that stony clasp iorogo.
Hut thou,hast gone-qone frem the dreary land
Gone from the storms let loose on every hin,
Lured by the sweet pursuasions ola hand
Which leads thee somewhere in the distance still.
Where'er thou art, know thou wearest yet
The same bewitchipg beauty, sanctfed.
By calmer Joy, and touched with soft regret
For him who seeks, but cannot reach thy side.
! keep for 5hee the living love of old,
And seek thy place in Nature as child,
Whose hand is parted from its playmate's hold,
Wanders and cries along lonesome wild.
When in the watches of my heart hear
The messages Of purer light and know
Ine footsteps OF thy spirit lingering near,
The darkness hides the way that should go.
a,anst thou not bid he empty realms restore
That form, the symbol OF thy heavenly part!
Or ON the fields of barren silence pour
That voice, the p erfect music OF my hearth
oh, once, once bending on these widow'd lips,
Take back the tender warmth OF life t. ON me,
s)r let thy kisses cloud with swift eclipse
The light Of mine, and give me death with thee
