TO MY SISTER*
I think of thee when twilight gray
Steals softly down the vaulted sky*
And all die tints of parting day,
Allure and charm the gazer’s eye;
For then fond memory brings to nis
Our days of childhood’s liappy glee.
I think of thee wlien from afar,
As in some glittering coronet
Proudly lixiks down yon polar star
A diamond in heaven’s azure set;
For all! in other happier days,
We lov’d oft that lone star to gars.
1 think of thee when silent sleep
Has banish’d all unholy mirth,
And angels their kind vigils keep,
O’er the belov’d, the blest of earth;
O! then is breath’d my prayer for theC,
That they may guard thy destiny.
I think of thee when rosy light,
First dawns upon the eastern sky,
And all the glorious stars of night
Are giving place to coming day;
Ah! then with spirit meek and free,
I breathe my matin prayer for dice.

DLATi.1 uF JAM Lb ja.NRufc,
One melancholy event .occurred in the course of the
lay to repress the hilarity of the public, and mix a decent
gravity with their rejoicings. The venerable JAMES
MONROE, a man loved for his virtues, respected for his
abilities, and honored for his services, 'breathed his last At,
half past three o’clock, at the advanced-age of 72 years.
This event occured at die house of his son-in-law, Samuel
L. Gouverneur, where he had resided for nearly a twelve-
month past, during a great part of which time his healtl
was obviously and rapidly sinking under an accumulation
of infirmities. His death had for several days been hourly
expected, but it pleased providence to prolong the flick
ering flanuMif life, until the fifty fifth anniversary of thai
independence of w hich he had been one of the principle
founders and supporters, and by its extinction then, to
add another impressive circumstance to those which stouq
the Fourth of July as the most memorable day in the
history of the world. By a coincidence which has no
parallel, three of the four Presidents of the United States
who have left the scene of their usefulness, ai>d their glo
ry, expired on the anniversary of the national birth day
—a day, which of all others, had it been pei-mitfe^hem
to choose, would probably have been selected for the ter
mination of their career ; and a day whicli happily thus
acquires a more hallowed character, by being at once
the anniversary of our national independence, and the
death of the men who stood conspicuous among those
whose wisdom planned, whose firmness established, and
whose lives and precepts will tend to perpetuate it.
Of MONROE, wc may here well repeat w hat was
said in this paper of JEFFERSON. “Over the death of
this distinguished man we cannot grieve ; lie ha? gone to
his rest on the day and hour he wished, after seeing him
self surrounded by millions of greatful hitman beings,
whom he, in common with the other patriots of the revo
lution, had contributed to render 'free and happy, and in-,
uepeudent.”
James Moxroe was bom on monroe’s Creek, 'West
moreland County, Virginia, in September 1758; the
precise day we have been unable to ascertain. He was
descended from a respectable Scotch family, distinguisedj
for its loyally and patriotism. His ancestor, who camel
to this country in 1752, was a captain in the army of
nbama reserved for the occupanty of the Creek Indians,
Bainbridge Hi the family
Cheomico—at the Big Warriors Stand—on the west sa:*
of Persimmon Swamp near Fort Hull and on the Fed
eral Road and at the Tuckabatchee Tow n.
And whereas from the constant intercourse which ex
ists between these several places and the frontier of thu
-rate ftnd particularly with the town of Colul^jM the
jieople of Georgia are in great danger of having said n *
fectious disease scattered among them to the great alaun
of all and the destruction of many—
And whereas this datiger is greatly increased from the
wandering and thoughtless habits of the I«d;ohs«id Ne*-
groes among whom the Small Pox chiefly prevails—
And whereas by an Act of this State passed the 20th
December, 1828—entitled “an Act to protect the Frontier
Settlements of this Stare from intrusion of the indiaia
of the Creek Nation,” it is rendered unlawful for any In
dian belonging to the Creek Tribe to cross thcOfcatmiioc*
clue and enter upon the Territory of thL State under any
pretext whatever, unless by a written permission from Uu»
United States’ Agent, not extending beyond ten days,
md specifying the business cf those to whom it may be
given—
And whereas it is unlawful for any Free Negro to pass
from the State of Alabama into this State, or any negiJ)
-lave except in the presence of his or her owner—
And whereas the corporation of the town cfColumbus
have established quarantine "regulations forbidding ail
persons (on account of the existence of the .Small Pox at
the several places before mentioned) to pass from *l«e
western side of the Chattahoochie into the town of Co-
i uni bus without a written permit from the Health (’ff.cur
»r Marshal of «aid Town—I have therefore thought pro
per to issue this my Proclamation giving notice ol the ex
istence of such quarantine regulations and requiring ail
persons coming from the western side of theCnatUiluu*-
foie into the town of Columbus to'conform thereto—And
ill civil and military officers are required to aid in arrest
ing and bringing to punishment any person or persona
who may violate the quarantine regulations so ettanlUb-
ed by the corporation of the town of Columbus—And aR
persons and especially the owners of Public Ferries are
required not to aid in passing any Indian-across the Chnf-
talioorliieat any place from its western shleexcopt sairt
Indian have a written permission from the United Slates’
Agent according to the requirements of the stktute Which
has been recited, and in like manner not to aid ir» the patf-
sage into the State of any free negro, nor of any negro
lave, without the presence of his or her owner, under
such penalties as the law may inflict for such'conduct.—
And all civil and military officers in the counties adjoin
ing to the territory occupied by theCrcek Indians ate re
quired to cause all Indians and Negroes who may ille-
ally pftss into the State to be immediately removes!
therefrom-—And because of the difficulty of establishing
and enforcing quarantine regulations along the whole line
which separates this State from the territory occupied by
the Creek Indians, all the citizens of Georgia, and of oth
er States are warned of the existence of tlie Small Pox in
its most contagious state among the Creek Indians, and
those who may intend to pass through the Territory oc
cupied by them into this State arc urged and enjoined to
avoid all intercourse wilh said people and especially those
n the neighborhood of die infected places.
This Proclamation is to be enforced until otherwise or-
Givcn undormy hand and the Great Seel of the State,
at the State-House in Milledgeville, the nineteenth
day of July, in the year of our Lord eighteen hun
dred and thirty-one, and of the Independence ol the
