LITTLE lIOSK. Phe comes with fairy footsteps; Softly their echoes fall; And her shadow plays iike a summer shade Across the garden wall. The golden light is dancing bright, ’.Mid the mazes of her hair, And her fair young locks are waving free To the wooing of the air. Like a sportful fawn sheboundeth So gleefully along, Asa wild >oung bird she carroleth The burden of a song. The summer flowers are clustering thick Around her dancing feet. And on her cheek the summer breeze Is breathing soft and sweet. The very sunbeam seems to linger Abote that holy head, And the wild flowers ut her coming Their richest fragrance shed. And oh 1 how lovely light and fragunce Mingle in the life within; Oh! how fondly do they nestle Round the soul that knows no sin. She comes, the spirit of our childhood A thing of mortal birth, Yet breathing still a breath of heaven, To redeem her from the earth. She comes in bright-robed innocence, Unsoiled bv blot or blight, And passeth by our wayward path, A gleam of angel light. 01)! blessed things are children ! The gilts of heavenly love; They stand betwixt our wordly hearts And better things above. They link us with the spirit world By purity and truth, And keep our hearts still fresh and young With the presence of their youth. sp-e<-In * of N-nator Crittenden and Vice- President l<rt-'kiiirid"e,oii Vacating; tlie Old Menate Chamber. Mr. Crittenden rose and said: I hope that I may be indulged in a few words of parting from this chamber. This is to be the last day of our session here ; and this place, which has known us so long, is to know us no more forever as a Senate. Tlie parting seems to me, sir, to be somewhat of a solemn one, and lull of eventful recollections. I wish, however, only to say a few words. Many associations, pleasant and proud, bind us and our hearts to this place. We cannot but feel their influence, especially I, Mr. President, whose lot it has been to serve in this body more years than any other member now present. That we should all be attached to if, that my longer asso ciation should attach me to it, is most natural. Mr. President, we cannot quit this chamber without some feeling of sacred sadness. This chamber has been the scene of great events. Here questions ot American constitutions aud laws have been deba ted ; questions of peace and war have been debated and decided; questions of empire have occupied the attention of this assemblage in times past; this was the graud theatre upon which these things have been enacted. They give a sort of consecra ted character to this hall. Sir, great ineu have been the actors here. The illustrious dead that have distinguished this body in times past, naturally rise to our view on such an occasion. 1 speak only of what I have seen, and but partially of that, when I say that hero, within these walls. I have seen men whose fame is not surpassed, and whose power ana ability and pa triotism are not surpassed by anything of Grecian or of Roman name. 1 have seen Clay, and Web ster, and Calhoun, and Renton, ami Leigh, and Wright, and Clayton, (last though not least,) ming ling together in this body at one time, and uniting their counsels for the benefit of their country.— They secui to our imagination and sensibilities, on such an occasion as thi*, to have left their impress on these very walls ; and this majestic dome seems almost yet to echo with the voice of their elo quence. This hall seems to he a local habitation for their names. This hall is full ot’ the pure odor of their Justly earned fame. There are others besides those 1 have named of whom I will not speak, because they have not closed their career —not yet ended their services to the country; and they will recei'6 their reward hereafter. There are a host of others that I might, mention—that deserve to be mention ed—but it would take too long. Their names are in no danger of being forgotten, nor their services unthought of or unhonored. Sir, w e leave behind us, in going from this hall, these associations,, these proud imaginations, so well calculated to prompt to a generous emulation of their services to their country; hut we will car ry along with n, to the new chamber to which we arc to go, the spirit and the memory of ull these things wc will tarry with us all the inspiration which our illustrious predecessors are calculated to give ; and wherever we sit we shall bo the Senate of the United States of America—a great, a power ful, a conservative body in the government of this country, and a body that will maintain, as I trust and believe, under all circumstances and in all times to come, the honor, the right, and the glory of this country. Because we leave this chamber, we shall not leave behind us any sentiment of pa triotism, any devotion to the country which the illustrious exemplars that have gone before us have left to us. These, like our household gods, will be carried with us; and we, the representatives of the States of this mighty Union, will be found always equal, I trust, to the exigencies of any time that may conic upon our country. No matter under what sky we may sit; no matter what dome may cover us, the great patriotic spirit of the Senate of the United “States will be there ; and I have an abiding confi dence that it will never fail in the performance of its duty, sit while it may, even though it were in a desert. But it is yet, sir, not possible to leave this hall without casting behind us many longing and lin gering looks. It has been the scene of the past ; the new chamber is to be the scene of the future ; and that future, I hope, will not be dishonored by any comparisons to be made with the past. It, too, will have its illustrations of -great public servi ces rendered by great men and great patriots ; and this body, the great preservative element of the government, will discharge all its duties, taking care to preserve the union of the States which they represent—the source of all their honors, the source of the trust which they sit here to execute, the source as it has been and as it will be of their country’s greatness, happiness, and prosperity, in times to come as it has been in the time that is past. Mr. President, I cannot detain you longer. I move that the vote of the Senate be now taken on the report which has been presented, and that it be adopted. At the conclusion of Mr. Crittenden’s remarks, Vice President Brecki.nkidue addressed the Senate as follow s: Senators: I have been charged by the commit tee to whom you confided the arrangements of this day, with the duty of expressing some of the re flections that naturally occur in taking final leave of a chamber which has so long been occupied by the Senate. In the progress ot our country nnd the grow th of the representation, this room became too contracted for the representatives of the States now existing and soon to exist; and accordingly you are about to exchange it tor a hall affording accommodations adequate to the present and the future. The occasion suggests many interesting reminiscences, and it may be agreeable in the first place to occupy a few minutes with a short account of the various places at which Congress has assem bled, of tiie struggles which preceded the perma nent location ot the seat of government, and of the circumstances under which it was finally establish ed on the banks of the Potomac. The Congress of the Revolution was sometimes a fugitive, holding its sessions, as the chain.es of war required, ut Philadelphia, Baltimore, Lancas ter, Annupoiis, and Yorktown. During the period between the conclusion of peace and the com mencement of the present government, it met at Piinceton, Annapolis, Trenton, and New Tork. the idea of a permanent Union had been executed in part by the adoption of the Articles ot Confederation, the question presented itself of fix ing a seat of government, and this immediately called forth intense interest and rivalry. Tliut the place should be central, Having regard to the population and territory of the Confederacy, was the only point common to the contending par ties. Propositions of all kinds were ofifeied, deba ted, and rejected, sometimes with intemperate At length, on the 7th. of fMober, 1788. the Congress being at Princeton—whither they had been driven from Philadelphia, by the insults of a body of armed men—it was resolved that a building for the use of Congress be erected near the falls of the Delaware. This was soon after modified by requiring suitable buildings to he also erected near the fall* of the Potomac, that the res idence of Congress might alternate between those places. But the question was not allowed to rest,* and at length, after frequent and warm debates, it was resolved that the residence of Congress should continue at one place; and commissioners were appointed with full power to lay out a district fora federal town Dear tiie falls of the Delaware. And in the meantime Congress assembled alternately at Trenton and Annapolis; but the representatives of other States were unremitting in exertions for their respective localities. On the 23d of December, 1784, it was resolved | to remove to the city of New York, and.to remain there until the building on the Delaware should be completed ; and accorcingly, on the 11th of Janua ry, 1785, the Congress met at New York, where they continued to hold their sessions until the Confederation gave place to the Constitution. The commissioners to lav out a federal town on the Delaware reported their proceedings to Con gress, but no further steps were taken to carry the resolution into effect. When the bonds of union were drawn closer by the organization of the uew government under the Constitution on the 8d of March, 1789, the subject was revived and discussed with greater warmth than before; it was conceded on all sides that the residence of Congress should continue atone place, and the prospect of stability in tbe government in vested the question with a deeper interest. Some members proposed New York as being “superior to any place they knew for the orderly and decent behavior of its inhabitants.” To this it was answered that it was not desirable that the political capital should be in a commercial metro polis. Others ridiculed the idea of building pala ces in the woods. Mr. Gerry, of Massachusetts, thought it highly unreasonable to fix the seat of government in such a position as to have nine States of the thirteen to the northward of the place ; while the South Carolinians objected to I’hiladelphia on account of the numbers of On a- | kers, who, they said, continually annoyed tiie j Southern members with schemes of emancipa tion. In the midst of these disputes the House of Rep resentatives resolved : “That the permanent seat of government ought to be at some convenient place on the banks of the Susquehanna.” On the introduction of a bill to give effect to this resoiu lution, much feeling was exhibited, especially bv the Southern members. Mr. Madison thought if the proceeding of that day had been foreseen by Virginia, that State Blight not have become a par ty to tbe Constitution. The question was allowed by every member to be a matter of great impor tance. Mr. Scott said the future tranquility and well-being of the United States depended as much on this as on any question that ever had or could come before Congress. And Mr. Fisher Ames re marked that every principle of pride and honor, and even of patriotism, were engaged. Fora time any agreement appeared to be impossible ; but the good genius of our system finally prevailed, and on the lfith of July, 1790, an act was passed con taining the following clause : “ That a district of territory not exceeding ten miles square, to be located as hereafter directed, on the river Potomac, at some place between the mouths of the Eastern Branch and Conogocheague, ; be, and the same is hereby, accepted, lor the per- j manent seat of the government of the ‘United States.” j Tire same act provider! tnat congress Slionld ! hold its session at Philadelphia until the first Mon day in November, 1800, when the government ; should remove to the district selected on the l’oto- j m:c. Thus was settled a question which had pro duced much sectional feeling between the States, j But all difficulties were not yet surmounted ; for Congress, either from indifference or the want of money, failed to make adequate appropriations for the erection of public buildings, and ihe com mis- ; sioners were often reduced to great straits to main tain the progress of the work. Finding it impossi- ! ble to borrow money in Europe, or to obtain it from ‘ Congress, Washington, in December, 1796, nude a personal appeal to the Legislature of Maryland, I which was responded to by an advance of SltlO,- j 0<H); but in so deplorable a condition was the I credit of the federal government, that the State required as a guaranty of payment the pledge of j the private credit of the commissioners. From the begining Washington had advocated the present seat of government —its establishment 1 here was due, in a large measure, to his influence ; j it was his wisdom and prudence that composed j disputes, and settled conflicting titles, and it was chiefly through his personal influence that the ! funds were provided to prepare the buildings for : the reception of the President and Congress. The wings of the Capitol having been sufficient ly prepared, the government removed to this Dis trict on the 17th of November, 1800. Or as Mr. Wolcott expressed it, left the comforts of Phila delphia “to go to the Indian place with the long name, in the woods on the Potomac.” I w ill not pause to describe the appearance at that day of the place where the city was to be. Contempora ry accouts represent it as desolate in the extreme, with its long-unopened avenues and streets, its deep morasses, and its vast urea covered with treeß instead of houses. It is enough to say, that Wash ington projected the whole plan upon a scale of centuries, and that time enough remains to fill the measure of his great conception. The Senate continued to occupy the north wing, and the House of Representatives the soutli wing of the Capitol until the 24th of August, 1814, when the British army entered the city and burned the public buildings. This occurred during the recess, and the President immediately convened the Con gress. Both Houses met in a brick building known as Blodget’s Hotel, which occupied a part of the square now covered by the General Post Office. But the accommodation in the house being quite insufficient, a number of public spirited citizens erected a more commodious building on Capitol Hill, and tendered it to Congress ; the offer was accepted and both Houses continued to occupy it until the wings of the new Capitol were completed. This building yet stands ou the street opposite to the north-eastern corner of the Capitol square, and lias since been occasionally occupied by persons employed in different branches of the public ser vice. On the 6th of December, 18If, the* Senate as sembled for the first time in this chamber, which has been the theatre of their deliberations.for more than thirty-nine years. And now the strifes and uncertainties of the past are finished ; we see around us on every side the proofs of stability and improvements ; this Capitol is worthy of the Republic ; noble public buildings I meet the view on every hand—treasures of scieneo and the arts begin to accumulate. As this nour ishing city enlarges, it testifies to the wisdom and forecast that dictated the plan of it. Future gen erations will not be disturbed with questions con cerning the centre of population or of territory, since the steamboat, the railroad, and the tele graph, have made communication almost instantan eous. The spot is sacred by a thousand memories, which are so many pledges that the city of Wash ington, founded by him and bearing his revered name, with its beautiful site, bounded by pietures que eminences, and the broad Potomac, and lying within view of his home and his tomb, shall lorever the political Capitol of the United States. It would be inteiesiing to note the gradual changes which have occurred in the practical work ing of the government since the adoption ot the Constitution ; and it may be appropriate to this occasion to remark one of the most striking ot them. At the origin of the government the ate seemed to be regarded chiefly as an executive council. The President often visited the chamber and conferred personally with this body, Most of its business was transacted with closed doors, and it took comparatively little part in the legislative debates. The rising and vigorous intellects of the coun try sought the arena of the House of Repu sen tatives as the appropriate theatre for the display of their powers. Mr. Madison observed on some occasion that, being a young man, and desiring to increase his reputation, lie could not afford to en ter the Senate ; and it will be remembered that, so late as 1812, the great debates which preceded the war, and aroused the country to the assertion of its rights, took place in the other branch of Con gress. To such an extent was the idea of seclu sion carried, that when this chamber was comple ted, no seats were prepared for the accommoda tion of the public; and it was not until many years afterwards that the semi-circular gallery was erected which admits the people to be witnesses of yeut proceedings. But now, the fcenate, be VOLUME XXXVI.—NO. 43. sides its peculiar relations to tbe executive depart ment of the government, assumes its full share"of duty as a co-equal branch of the Legislature ; in deed, from the limited number of its members, and for other Obvious reasons,the most important ques tions especially of foreign policy, are apt to na><3 first under discussion in this body, and to the high est honors which can be conferred on an Ame.ican s ntesman. It is scarcely necessary to point out the causes of this change, or to say that it is n concession both to the importance and individuality of the iStates, and to the free and open character of the I governrnent. j In connection with this e9y but thorough tran sition, it is a ortby of remark that it bas been ef fecled without a cbargejlrom any quarter, that the j Senate has traiiacended its constitutional sphere— | a tribute at otice to the moderation of the Senate, and another proof to thoughtful men of the eom- Ipreheusive wisdom with which the framers* of the Constitution secured essential principles n itliout inconveniently embarrassing the action of the go vernment. The progress of this popular movement, in one aspect of it, has been steady and marked. At the origin of the government*, no arrangements in tbe Senate were made for spectators; in this clumber i about one-third of the space is allotted to the pub- II ic, and in the new apartment the galleries cover two-thirds of its area. In ail free countries the admission of the people to witness legislative pro ceedings is an essential element of public confi dence, and it is not to be anticipated that this wholesome principle will ever be abused bv the substitution of partial and interested demonstra tions for the expression of a matured and enlight ened public opinion.

Sixty-nine years ago thirteen States, containing tlnee millions inhabi tants, burdened with debt, and exhausted by the long war of independence, (.published lot- their common good a free cousututioli, on principles new to mankind, and began their experiment with [ i.te good wishes oi a lew doubting friends, and the derision of the world. Look at the result to day : twenty-eight millions of people, in every way happier than an equal number in any other part o! the glooe, the centre of population and political power descending the western slop, sos the Allegheny mountains, and the original thirteen Stales, tunning but the eastern margin on the map of our vast possessions. See besides, Christianity, civilization, and the arts given to a continent--the despised colonies grown into a power of the first elass, representing and protecting ideas that in volve the progress of the bureau race—a com merce greater than that of any other nation—ev ery vaiiety of climate, soil, uud production to ifluke a people powerful and bappj—free inter change between the States—in a word, behold present greatness, and in the lutuie an empire to which the aucieut mistress of the world in the heighth of her glory could not be compared. Buch is our country ; ay, and more, far more than mv mind could conceive, or mv tongue could utter. Is there an American who regrets the past ? Is there one who will deride his country's laws, per vert her Constitution, or uiionate her people ? It there be such a umn, let his memory descend to posterity htden with the execrations of all man kind. So happy is the political and social condition of the United States, and so accustomed are we to the secure enjoyment of a freedom elsewhere un known, that we are apt to undervalue the treas ures we possess, and to lose in some degree the sense of obligation to our forefathers. But when the strifes of faction shake the government, and even threaten it, we may pause with advantage long enough to remember tiiat wc arc reaping the reward of other men’s labors. This liberty we in herit—this admirable Constitution, which ba- sur vived peace and war, prosperity and advet-itv— this double scheme of government, State ami Fed eral, so peculiar and so little understood bv other Powers, yet which protects the earnings ot indus try, and makes the largest personal freedom com patible with public order ; these gr< at res 9 \eie not achieved without wisdom and ion, and I qo .

Henceforth it will be converted to other uses ; yet it must remain forever connected with great events, and sacred to the memories ol’ the departed orators and statesmen, v. ho have er.gag ed in high debates, and shaped tLe policy of their country. Hereafter the American and the si ran ger, as they wander through the Capitol, wifi tu-n with instinctive reverence to view the snot on which so many and great m.iiciiuts have accumula ted lor history. They will recall the images oi the gieat and the good, whose renown is the c .muon property of the union ; and cnietly, perhaps, they will Unger around the seats once occupied by the mighty three, w. Oae names and fame—associated in lilc—death has not been able to sever ; illustri ous men, w ho in their generation, sometimes divi ded, sometimes led, and sometimes resisted public opinion—lor they were of that higher cluts of statesmen who seek the right and follow their con victions. There, sat Calhoun, ihe Senator—inflexible, aus tere, oppressed, but not overwhelmed by his deep sense ot the importance ol bis publie functions— seeking tiie truth, Uien fearlessly following it ; a man whose unsparing intellect compelled ail his emotions to harmonize with the deductions of his rigorous logic, and whose noble countenance ha bitually wore the expression ot one engaged i:i the performance of high public duty. This, was Webster’s seat. He too, was e very inch a Senator. Conscious of his own vast pow ers, he reposed with confidence ou himself, and scorning the contrivances of smaller men, he stood among Ins peers all the greater lor the simple dig nity of senatorial demeanor. Type of his northern home, he rises before the imagination in the grand and gratiite outliue of his loim and in tellect, like u great New England rock, repelling a New England wave. Asa writer, his productions will be cherished by statesmen and scholars while the English tongue is spoken. Asa senatorial ora tor, his great efforts are historically associated with this chamber, whose very air seems jet to vibrate beneath the stiokca of his deep tones and his weighty words. On the outer eiicle, sat Henry Clay, with his im petuous and aident nature untamed by age, and exhibiting in the Senate the same vehement pariot ism and passionate eloquence that, of yore, elec trified the House of Representatives and the coun try.
