Dew-drops that tk-e ere the blaze of noon;
The meteor darting so hrigh: and free,
The waves that curl o’er lire dark blue sea,
A sunbeam dancing above the stream,
Visions which float o'er a fev'rUh dream.
The lightning's flash, ere the storm-cloud lowers ;
8'uch, and so fleet are the changing hours.
.Some of us vestured in light, pursue
The mystic path that noeve may view :
Some rolled in the ever-i hanging dyes

And some in a grey and mistv veil
Glide silently on in tlie starlight p ile.
Through the quiet night, through the glare of
Still o;i we follow, and make no stav :
Ye chide our lingering: ye w is'i us slow,
But heedless, weariless, on wo go.

Dark thoughts of the past, of the future, despair :

They crowd upon my memory,
They linger round my heart.
The joys. ihe blissful linjN-sthut once
Their blessings did impart :
Each happy hour, each darling form,
Each well remembered scene.
When Love was i.i his brightest dav,
And Life was in its green.
They come! yet ah, but to depart;
They bless the weary sight
With visions of a brighter dav,
To leave a darker night;
The hour that came at .Metn'ry's call,
Fades back into its gloom;
The form that gladdened us of yore,
Returneth to its tomb.
Oh Life, you ne’er shall know again,
The freshness, and the power.
The bounding step, the guileless thought.
Of merry childhood's hour.
The dew hath vanished from the lawn,
The rain-how from the cloud ;
The breeze that whispered soft and low,
Now murmurs hoarse and loud.
W e miss the marks Affection reared,
To guide us on our wav
And from the \ alley of delight,
Our feelde footsteps stray ;
Fast sinking is the orb that cheered
And blessed us with its light.
And soon around our hearts, will close
The shadows of the night.
Comeback! comeback, ye memories,
Of I.lie's enchanted hour.
And bring with you the beautv of

Of the forms that death hath w ithered—
The blessings that have fled,

Oh leave us with the dead!

Mr. Howard, from the Committee on the
Stale of the Republic, offered, the following
REPORT.
The Committee on the State of Republic
have had before it the political condition of
the country, both in its general and State re
lations, and have deemed it necessary to sub
mit the views entertained in the following pre
amble and resolutions to the General Assem
bly, and to ask for them its concurrence.
The Committee believe that recent events
develope an organized and systematic de
termination. of which significant indications
were atforded at the late extra session of Con
gress, to discard the principles and policy
proper to lie observed in the administration of
the General Government.
Additional acquisitions of power, not con*
tempUtco or designed by the frameni of tlie
Constitution, repudiated by the Republicans of
’98 and ISUO and wholly unnecessary to the
vigor and efficiency of the administration of
the Government, are avowed as among the
cherislu'd objects of the new political reform.
To such an administration of the General
Government, the Republican party have been
opposed from the adoption of the Constitu
tion, and time and experience have added in
numerable proofs of the correctness of their
principles, and the importance ol their contin
ued ascendancy to secure tlie saicty and integ
rity of the American Union, and the sov
ereignty of each of the Slates of which it is
composed.
Although at different periods in the history
of the country, their principles have received
temporary checks, very soon the recuperative
energies of a people determined to be free,
have surmounted the barriers and given them
success. Ambitious and designing men have
sometimes risen to power, and, by. torturing
the Constitution, have enacted laws reckless
of the provisions or prohibitions of that sacred
instrument: but tlieircareer has been limited;
ttieir obnoxious measures indignantly condem
ned ; their partial or.d unequal enactments
repealed; and tlie Government transferred
from federal to republican hands. It lights up

And sure enough, the next morning tlie
Yankee boy passed the ambassadors house, in
a splendid coach and four, waving his hand
kerchief, and shouting “Good-bye ' frond-bye !’’
Mr. Dallas afterwards learned from the Em
peror that all the particulars related by this .ad
venturous youth were strictly true. He again
heard from him at Moscow, visited by the pub
lic officers, and treated with as much attention
as is usually bestowed on ambassadors.
The last tidings of him reported that he was
travelling in Circassia, and writing a journal,
which he intended to publish.

institutions. So now you see I’ve brought it,
and 1 want to get at him.”
“ Aly lad, it’s not and easy matter for a stran
ger to approach the emperor ; and 1 am afraid
he will take no notice of your present. You
had hotter keep it.”
“ I tell you that I want to have a talk with
him. I expect 1 can tell him a thing or two i there : for
about Ameriky. I guess he’d like mighty well
to hear about our railroads and our free schools,
and what a big swell our steamers cut. And
when he hears how well our people are get
ting on, may he it will put him up to doing
something. Tlte long and short ou’t is, I
sha’nt be easy till 1 get a talk with the empe
ror ; and I should like to sec his wife and chii-
dred. 1 want to see how such folks bring up
a family.”
“ Well, sir, since you are so determined up
on it, 1 will do what l can for you; hut you
must expect to be disappointed. Though it
will he rather an unusual proceeding, 1 woti’d
advise you to call on the vice-chancellor .and
state your wishes; he may possibly assist you.”
« Well, that’s all 1 want of yon. 1 will call
again, and let you know how I get on.”
In two or three days, he again appeared and
said, “ Well, I've seen the Emperor and had a
talk with him. He’s a real gentleman, I can
tell you. AVhen 1 gave him the acorn, he said
he should set a great store by it; that no char
acter in ancient or modern history he admired
so much as he did onr Washington; be said
he’d plant it in his palace garden with bisowh

and got them on the dray and sent them home.
The drayman drove up to the door, and told
his wile that the barrel of flour rind groceries
were for Iter. She told tlie drayman there
was some mistake about it—it did not belong
she had never had a barrel since
they had been married—always had to buy
their flower by the sixpence worth, or shilling’s
worth ; the flour certainly could not be for her.
While they were talking, the husband came
up, a:>d said she. “Husband, here’s a man
says this barrel of flour and these groceries
are for us.” “ So they are, and I have bought
them ail with tbe twenty-five cents you gave
me last Monday iiiglit. 1 joined the Washing

cents; we shall have flour bv the barrel after
this instead of by the sis-pence worth, or the

What, said Mr. A'ickers, do you think were
eminent will endnre, whett he remembers
how short lived hasbeen the domination of as
sumed and constructive powers, and how
soon those principles which are based upon
their limitation, and which recognize the Con
stitution as their only legitimate source, have
been re-established by the triumphant verdict
of the American people.
“Eternal vigilance,” it is truly said, “is the
price ot liberty and it is only by the most un
ceasing zeal and laborious industry, rousing
the latent republicanism of the land, and giv
ing vigor to every movement, llud so many and
such signal victories have been achieved by
the Republican party, enabling them to de
tect and expose the insidious efforts of their
opponents, first to mislead, and then to betray
tlie.(icupte.intu itiesuppuii uf measures in di
rect hostility to their own rights, and calcula
ted to devolve the most perilous effects on the
integrity and independence of the country.
The Committee believe that a crisis has
again arrived sufficient to awaken the unxie-
ty, excite the solicitude, andsliwtllate the ex-:
ertions of every lover of free institutions and.
guarded limitations of power : ,and it is only
hy sounding the alarm in season, and appriisng
the people of the approaching and apprehen
ded danger, that we may expect to arrest the
evils which threaten the republic, from: the
adoption of system of- measures at vxriauce -
with the constitutional policy of the country,
and fatal to the essential principles of our civil
institutions.
A new Administration, attaining power by
the most lavish promises of economy, retrench
ment and reform,is scarcely in possession of
tlte ensigns of command, when its movements
attract attention, and are sufficiently marked
to^afford cause for alarm, to all acquainted
with the elevated principles upon which the
Government was founded, and competent to
take an enlarged view of its political relations.
The convocation of Congress, and the mo
tive alleged for the act, that of supplying an
exhausted treasury, and tlte immediate intro
duction and adoption of measures tending to
defeat the pretended pur|>ose for which il was
convened, hy draining (he treasury ; furnish
abundant proof to every man not blinded
by party zeal, or dazzled with the lust of pow
er, ofasecret and premeditated design to consum
mate a system of most objectionable me as ores,
of which the people had roecived no notice
and that were carefully concealed during the
progress of the Presidential canvass. £io
more conclusive evidence is requisite to estab
lish the mischievous views of the dominant
party, and their full appreciation ofthe odious
and unpopular character of the measures they
intended thus surreptitiously to fasten aa the
country, than tlie particular period selected
for thecouvocation of the late extra session^-at

conflicts ever witnessed, and before time wus

The system of legislation adopted was
scarcely less reprehensible than the measures
