Dear os the dove, whose wafting wing The green leaf ratiiomeri from the maid, Thy genial glow, returning Spring, C’omes to our shores again; For thou hast been a wanderer long, On mnnyn fair and foreign strana, In bairn and beauty, sun and song, Passing from land to land. Tiinuhring'it the blossom to tiic bee, To earth a robe of emerald dye, The leaflet to the naked tree, And rainbow in the sky; I feel thy blest benign conyol The pulses of my youth restore; Opening the spring of sense and soul, To love and joy once more. 1 will not people thy green bowers. With sorrow’s pale nnd spectre band; Or blend with thine the faded flowers Of nioinory's distant land: For tlion wert surely never given To wake regret for pleasures gone; But like nn angel sent from heaven, To sooth creation's groan. Then, while the groves thy garlands twine, Thy spirit breathes in flower nnd tree, My heart shall kindle nt thy shrine, And svorship God in thee; And in some calm sequestered spot, Whito listening to tny choral strain, Past griefs shall lie awhile forgot, And pleasures bloom again. In the East, Cholera frequently falls upon a community like n shower of grape shot. It was decided in tile King of Siam's council, oil a visitation of this kind, that it might be caused by a monster, who might be scared from the coast by making a terrible noise. His Majesty, in con sequence, moved out against the invisible enemy, at the head of 30,000 subjects, all on tho stretch to produce sounds of horror. Ho lost 5,000 in one day, and returned vanquished. A Persian writer says, “Wo svero apprized that the cholera was at Shiraz, by finding one morning, when we awoke, that it had carried off two thousand inhab itants during the iiight.”—London Medical Jour nal.

Citizens of Sumter District.—llavin* been in formed by two diitinguished friends residing a- mongtt yon, that on the 5lh May next yon aro to have a meeting at vour Court Home, “to consi- dcr what is to be done in case there should be no •atitfactory reduction of tho Tariff,”—-aod under standing from those friends, that it is generally expected and desired I should present yon my views of tho proper course to be puraqcd, I feul bound to gratify yew wishes to vie utmost of my ability. ™ ’ * A crisis has arrived in Federal politics, preg nant with the fate of our Republic, The history of our wrougs is too familiar to you to require a detailed recital of them for the present. Suffice it to say, that the protection the manufactures solicited from us ns a boon in 1816, they now demand as a right—by an artful com bination of various interests end political parties, and by bribing various sections of the country with largesses for internal Improvements, they have marshalled a majority ill Congrnss that en ables them to set all constitutional restraints, nnd all sense of justice, at defiance—and to riot iu die spoils of the South with tho rapacity of a wolf in sheep-fold. When we complain of the oppressive character the injustice and uncoustitutionality of the protec tive policy, ns it is called, we are tauntingly re minded that the system received its first impulse from certain distinguished statesmen of the South. That they recommended it Ba ‘the true policy of the country,’ Rad urge the necessity and propriety of placiug the manufactures •beyond the reach of contingency,’ Unfortunately for us, Wo cannot gainsay this—and it is uot the first time that the frozen adder, wnrmed into life, stung to the heart its uuwise benefactor. But because a few lend ing men of the South, (in whom a dangerous con fidence is still reposed, cither from mistaken pa triotism orcriminid ambition,) did aid in fixing up on us the ‘American System,' is it liberal or just that millions of freemen shall continuo forever to he the victims of rapine aud avarice, to atone for the wickedness or folly of a few individuals that once represented them! This, however, is not a time for censure or recrimination.—We all agree, even those Southern men who did most to iu- volve ns in our present forlorn condition, acknow ledge that wo are ‘ ' of us have Indulgi as the public debt was paid, or tile Government possessed the resources that rendered that event certain, nnd all pretext for a high tariff thereby destroyed, that a considerable reduction of duties ou such foreign merchandize ns came in rompeti tion with tho manufacturers of tho North, would bo made; that honest and effectual relief would bo extended to the oppressed South—nnd thnt tho unnecessary burthens under which we have groan ed for many years, would bo removed. Although the foundation for this hope is diminished (hy the reception givcu to Mr. Clay’s proposition), it is not yet destroyed. But should our reasonable expectations bn disappointed,—should thero not be such n reduction of the Tariff, during tho pre sent session, as should satisfy reasonable men;— and should tho alternative bo presented to the South of submitting to something like colonial bondage and degradation, or of redressing her on n wrongs in her own way, theq the question, as to the safe and surest remedy, wi.l obtrude itself up on ns. Then it will ho natural that the w hole Southern people should inquire of each other, •wiiat is to bo our modus operandi? Whnt mea sure bids fairest to he most effectual, and leust hazardous.to our own safety and the integrity of the Union!’ Some of the Nullificrs of the State of S; Caro, linn, insist on immediate Nullification and resist, aaco by that State alone. My insuperable objec tions to this course, while South Carolina remains in the union, are Ituotvn to you, nnd I need not trouble you with them here. You know I regard ‘Nullification’ as just so much worse thnn Revolu tion, os the penalties and stain of Treason are cal culated to make it. But 1 should answor with, out hesitation to the question propounded, that the remedy I suggested to the Union and State Rights party of Charleston, in the course of lost summer, and which I have held forth as our der nier resort, ever since 1328, is the proper plun for us to purine. Tho Synopsis of that plan is, that all tho South ern States, having the same common interest with South Carolina, should make common cause with her. That Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, Mississ ippi, and as niauy of our adjacent sister States as choose to join us, should each send delegates to a Soutliei a Convention to meet at Coluinhin.— Thnt each State should send a number of dele gates. proportioned to her representation in Con gress; say two dclcgatos from each Congres sional district,—and that those delegate should be instructed by the people to address a strong and spirited, but respectful remonstrance to Con gress against any other than a revenue Tariff, pre senting to that body in ths same instrument, the alternative of giving up the “American System,— returning to au honest, constitutional course of legislation, distributing equal bimhetu and equal benefits,—or, that we snail separate from the con federacy, ‘peacet lly if tre con, forcibly \f sre must.’" If the South cm. bo brought to net thus in con cert, I venture the opinion that llio majority in Congress would recede from the iniquitous ground they now occupy. But if, contrary to all reason able expectation, they should ndhere stubbornly to their unjust and oppressive policy, and thereby force upon the South the lest nnd worst branches of the alternative, On them would rest the crime of dismembering the. Union, ou them would rest the awful responsibility of destroying the greatest, tho most happy nnd prosperous Republic than ■- ver existed ou earth,—of annihilating the world's last and best founded hone of the freedom of man —and overturning that hallowed Tomple of Li berty, raised by the toils of our fathers, and ce mented together with their blood. In that dire event w-e can easily foresee many calamities that would befall every portion of this once hnnpy America,—this once harmonious and peaceful confederacy. But I have no doubt the South would bo as happy, as independent, and more prosperous than any olher quarter of tho con tinent. I have recommended this course of proccedin to tbo Southern members generally, and ihey a concur in giving a ‘Southern Convention* a de cided preference over ‘Nullification,’ except tbo nullifying portion of onr own delegation. \Vith this exception, almost every Southern member repudiates nullification as au incomprehensible absurdity—8ome of tho most distinguished nulli ficrs from our State, say that ‘tbo first step to be taken is the nullification of the tarifflaws, then, if the Federal Government should undertake to co erce South Carolina by a military force, a South ern Convention, such as 1 have recommended, should he called.’—But this is certaiuly 'putting the cart before the horse.* If South Carolina should undertake to anticipate her adjoining sis ter, and arrogate to herseit the merit of having, hy her single action, brought back the Federal Government to honest, cohstitutional legislation, the other States, from motives of jealousy and envy, might be disposed to stand atoof when we most needed their aid against the power of the General Government, and they might with appa rent justko say to South Carolina, ‘You nave been too arrogant and hasty,you have acted pre maturely on yoarowu responsibility, and On prin ciples that you know we had condemned and re pudiated in our respective Legislature* you were too anxious to hnvo all the credit of an important achiesrnjcntfiu which wewxre mutually concern- ad) to yourself,—You h*v« ruxhed iato conflict with tbs Federal Gofsrumest contrary to ear ad vice, and on grounds that we objected to; and now< you must extricate yourst-lfus you Cab. The utmost you can expect from us is, if tee do not fight cgdmst you, we will not fight for you.’ This, in all pro bability, would not only be the language, blit the conduct of those states towards S. Carolina. I am, therefore, for having their concurrence in the very first step we take—I am for having them committed with us in a ‘Southern Convention,’ that’ they may be compelled to march with us, ‘pari passu,' in every movement we make. With this view, and to bring about this result, I will endeavor, if tho tariff is not satisfactorily modified, to procure a meeting (or Caucus) of tho Southern members, nt the close of the session, for the purpose of making a candid and lucid mani festo to the Southern people, setting forth our wrongs and poinliug to thb remedy, as above in dicated. . I should have ho doubt of success in the effort, if it is not resisted hy the nullifying mem bers of our own Stnte. You are aware that Gov. Hamilton, Jlidge Harper, Mr. TUrUliull, and the leading nullifiers at boine, have cautioned the peo ple against acquiescing in a 'Southern Conven tion.’ Whether they liavo given the tee to onr nullifiers here (at Washington) or, whether the. latter have given tho ‘Key fiote’ to the forfcier, is not very important—But I incline to think, 'Se cret instructions’ have been transmitted from the head Conjurors here, to their ‘deluded 1 followers at home: and to reject any schomh bf redress, however feasible nnd safe, it ia enobgli for them that it did uot originate with their own party. Wbat then in this state of things, aro wc, of the true Radical, State Rights and Union pari.T to do? Wc cannot go for the heterodox aud suicidal doc trine of Nullification. It would he as impossible to unite our party with the Nullifiers, on that ground, as it would be to mix oil nnd vinegar.— Wo runst then, for the present, stand our ground: nnd hold ourselves ready to march, at a moment's Warning, for tho ‘Southern Convention,’ nf which I hnvo spoken. Perhaps in the course of another year the nullies will unite with us—they must at lenst unite with us in Contention, if any thing is to be dono to remove our grievances, other than by the legislation of Congress. They can nnito with us in the scheme of a ‘Southern Conven tion,’without any sacrifice of principle or consis tency on their parts; hut we would sacrifice both hy uuiting with them for nn experiment of Nulli fication. If, therefore, our nullifying brethren aro sin-> cerciy desirous of redressing our grievances, and of uniting the whole people of the Stnto and of' the south generally, in tho measure mostlikely to he most effectual nnd least hazardous, they will join us in organizing such a Convention as we propose. 1 repeal however, that 1 still entertain hopes that thorn will be such a reduction of duties before Congress adjourns, as (wiib indications of subsequent modifications) may be satisfactory to all who ore not determined to be diisalirf.ed. I should have scarco a doubt of this, if the Ameri can people were at this momeut honestly and faithfully represented in Congress. But New Hampshire nnd Maine havo iu the Senate these: thorough going tariff men, while the people of those States me almost unanimously opposed to the tnriff; tho same may be said of severe) mem bers in the Ilouseof Representatives. These aro evils which the people will correct at the ballot box in tho course of two or three yen™. And * my owtf opinion is that when tho tariff Toco be- gins to retrogade it will pursue its downward march, year after year, until it sinks to that point where it should remain—for mere purposes of revenue. The system was twelve years (from 1816, till 1828) in maturing. Therefore it can-* not, perhaps ought not to be overthrown sudden ly. It is high time, however, that a very consid erable inroad should be made upon it and if such a broach is not effected during the present session, the whole somb should risonp in the man ner 1 have suggested, Having already tphh ont this communication to a greater length than I expected, I thnll trou ble you but little about the President nnd his Ad ministration. or the prospect of his re-election.— Suffice it to say. that tho moasures of his Admin istration have, in the main, been eminently suc cessful nnd beneficial, and his re-election is us cer tain as it is essential to the preservation of the V- nion aud tbo welfare of our confedracy. Many schemes and machinations (from quarters once but lilllo suspected) ore put in practice to frustrate his administration and defeat bis re-election: but they will inevitably fail,—nnd will, finnlly, recoil upon thoir authors; indeed it would bo deplorable were they to succeed—because I do not thinlc there is not another mnn in the world who could, at this crisis, hold tbo confederacy together one year longer. With Jackson’s demise, either natural or official, the ‘evil days of this Republic will com mence’—nnd as he will probably leave no one be hind him that can conciliate the affections and confidence of a mnjority of the American people, the Captains of Alexander tcill divide the Empire. Very respectfully your obedient servant. JAMES BLAIR. BANK REPORT. We have commenced the report todav and will conclude it on Friday—Before it was ordered to be printed, or even read, Mr. M*Dufltc attack ed it with all his power—A long and interesting debate ensued, in which each member of the Committee took a hand. We may find time hercafier to copy it into our columns; hut for the present wo must limit ourselves to the following brief sketch from the pen of Mr. Walsh hiretelfi Messrs.

Col. Johnson, says the National lutelli- gencer, ^Disclaimed any iuteution to cast tho least reflection on the President of tho Bank, or the integrity or honor of the President or government of the Bank, to the former of whom be aicoided high praise and great merit." Mr. Camherleog “vindicated life course of the investigalieua pur sued by tbo committee, and expressed bis dis position to maintain and stand by the report.” , He is more likely to fall than to stand by it, when the nature of the investigation shall be suitably explained!! Mr. Thomas, a member of the com mittee, “rose to vindicate the proceeding of the committee, and avowed his readiness to stand be fore the liouse and the people, and defend the report of that committee.’' Mr. Clayton descri bed the Report os “principally a statement of facts, and not of opinions or inference*.” We do not go into saefc parts of tbe report, to were broughtinto tbe debate—such as tbe issuing of Bank orders—tbe selling of coin—the sale of government stock—the making donations roroade and canals—the building ef bowses to nratoratf) —(he transactions In bills of c*ehang»-~«iuj art- ticoWly for tbe East India Trade—the ioewus— of the number of branches of the Bank—tiiee^*’. tea of tbe jeosent and totkipete4dw*T commercial ce»saa*T‘.y—ti*» * ” -** tn tim —— - resent asgotisnss.
