INFANCY—»T MRS. HUGHS,
Sweet is life’s opening flower,
is wee.’ is every buding grace—•
Sweet deling hour,
When life first lights the infant’s face,
Sweet then the throbs the mother leels,
Tlie smile that kindles up her eye,
When it the first ibnd glances steals
On the wcal^funu of Infancy.
Sweet are tlkr flattering hopes that swell
Her ardent breast, as she the form,
To her so Blew, yet lov’d so well,
Clasps to wan* olF each threatening storm;
And as the paeons note she bears
Of the first Sful and mournful cry,
What the young sufferer so endears
As the sad wail oOufauoy ?
Young life is weak WcMrevcr found,
In man or in the crewire wild,
But nought there is theNvorld around,
So helpless as a human-child.
The kitten soon can sport and play,
The dog soon acts with courage high,
But is there ought so helpless—Say—
So weak as human Infancy ?
Yet that Almighty Power above,
Has order’d with the kindest care,
Tlmt an untiring mother’s love '%
Should nil its wants, its sorrows share ;
And whilst with sleepless eye she hangs
O’er its siek couch and breathes i lie sigh,^
Fond hopes suppress her struggling pangs,
And wins her smiles lor infancy.
’ .$Sf
It toils her that, the breast is pure,
That vice is vet a stranger there,
And should truth hold the f rt secure,
And virtue wave her standard there,
Then, though the infant’s cry should prove
A herald of the fu-ure sigh,
Still will be near those forms of love,
WliHi watch’d the couch of Infancy.

AIRING NOBILITY.
We were struck, whilst looking over the London
Court Journal, with the apparently musty state of
tiie English nubility, and the consequent necessity
ed by Franch bullets, and condemned by a tribunal
whose verdict was dictated by foreign invaders.
In vain did the Marshal, yielding to the teartul
supplications of bis wife, condescend to invoke the
12th article of the Capitulation of Paris, which
guaranteed the safety ot persons and property.—
The Englishman, organ of his Government,,
plied, tlTat military capitulations could have no po
litical eff ect) and could never he binding on the civil
jjower. This was the very reply made in 1648, by
a tribunal chosen by Cromwell to Judge James,
Duke of Hamilton, Earl of Cambridge, who had
surrendered after the engagement at Preston.

F. Were any man to call me a liar, a scoun

F. How sir! do you cal! me a fool?

as to think of it, when you have just declared you

THE SAVIOUR.
From the toils and trials of a distressing, but
perfect life, follow this illustrious personage to the
place of death.' Approach his cross and fix your
attention on the prodigies which signalize his suf
ferings, and stamp div inity on their martyrdom !
Think not that I allude to the- terrific draper;..
Winch in that dread hour was flung around the
great theatre of nature. No ! ’tis not the darken
ed sun, the bursting tombs, t lie quaking mountains,
or the trembling world that 1 allude to!-—These in
deed are prodigies of meekness, humility, and sin-
forgiving goodness, displayed in the dying Savi
our. When 1 behold him amidst the last*agonies of
dissolving nature, raising his dying eyes to heaven,
a?vl forgetful of himself, interceding with he God
of mercy, with his last breath, and from his vny
cross, in behalf of those wretches who?,
malice had fixed him there—then it is t!
deuce of Id's claims rises Id'demonstration,
feel the resistless force of, that impassion:
claniatioo which burst from the lips of infid
self. “If Socrates died as a philosopher,
Christ died like a God : 5 ’
And shall a worm, covered with crimes, and-liv
ing on sufferance, in that same world where the
agonizing Saviour uttered his dying supplication,
and left his dying example for imitation—shall such
a worm, tumid with resentment, rift his proud
crest to his fellow worm, and incapable of mercy,
talk of retribution? No; blessed Jesus, thy demit
is an antidote to vengeance. At the Ihot of tkv
cross, I forget their injuries, I bury my revenge,
and learn to forgive those who have done me
wrong, as I also hope to be lbrgiven*of thee.

Pittsburg.—At a public dinner recently given to
the Hou. William Wilkins, at Pittsburg Mr, Wra.
Robinson, of Alleghany, made a speech, from which
we quote the annexe d‘paragraph:
“ It is distinctly, gentleman, within my own re
collection, and 1 am yet a young man, when Pitts

oftiie Alleghany, where ;s now rising the town to

stood but one solitary cabin, in the vast forest be
tween it and the shores of Luke Erie; nof one habi

family comprised the whole population in all that
distance, and a little canoe sufficed for their con

has more than once happened, lor protection from
the Indians. F. uni the very places whence now.a

England.—A letter from our celebrated country
man Washington Irving, received by one of the
latest arrivelsat New-York, gives a melancholy ac
count of the present state of the public mind in
Great Britain. The question of Reform, the alarm
of riots, the dread of insurrection, anil the fear of the
cholera, he says, so occupy ihe public mind, that all
enterprise in literature and tlie arts is at a stand.

Proceedings of the Senate cn the nomination of
Martin Can Buren.
Lctnibex 7, 1831.
A message was received from tiie President of
the U. States, nominating Martin Van Buren, of
and in his recent message Congress he resumes
it with a declaration that lie w ishes to “leave it tor
the present,to the investigation of an enlightened
people, and*their, representatives.”
In consequence ol ^ese invitations, reports on
the Bank and the Currency were made by the
Committee of Ways and Means of the House.of
Representatives, apd by the Ccipin itte ot P;nance
of the Seqate. The question then went out before
tlie people, and fio subject was probably e\cr more
thoroughly discd&ed 4br the last two \eais than
this lias been. It, ha& entered in a greater or less
degree into all the electrons. That ol Missouii
turned upon it. It pfcas before the legislature of
New r York, before the legislature ol I t i.nsy i\ ania,
before the legislature of Mississippi, which invited
the establishment of a Branch; be lore tl e legislature
of Tennessee, w hich refused to instruct the num
bers of Congress against the Bank; helme ti e le
gislature of Geoigia, which refused m like manner;
before the legislature of Indiana; before the legisla
ture ofMarviand. At the close ol these disc-ussioi s
is assembled a fresh Congress, coming inter from
ibe people than the President himself, and to that
Congress he renews his request that they would
examine the question. Independently ol tins cir
cumstance, the present Congress is peculiarly Ltd
lor tiie investigation, because it wilt necessanh i e
called upon to consider the payment ol the pub c
debt, the adjustment of the public revenue to if. t
event, and the modification of the imposts, ah of
which are intimately blended with the condition of
the monied concerns of the country, and it will be
their appropriate duty to enquire whether the pit-s
ent system, in connexion with which ali ti.*se great
inteiest nave hitherto prospered, shall now be con
tinued or destroyed.
If the business considerations thus recommend
an early decision, there would.remain no doubt of
the propriety of the present application, but for a

lie memo-
sentence
of the Prime Minister of ifrnt period, who said,
addressing the Chdtnher of Wei: . • It is in tiie
name of Europe that i at once conjure and require
you to pronounce judgment, on Marshal Ney,’
prove that tne accusation was preferred in tiie
name of in.-enru armies u iio then occupied Puns,
not bv right of conquest, hot by virtue ol a unu
rary convention. This Convention, which guar
anteed me inviolabiiitv oi’ persons and property,
was made by the A-liiajice, authorised by tiie Bour
bon dynasty to take possesion of Paris, on the one
hand, and tiie Prelect of tiie S.me, representing
die civil interests of the inhabitants on the oti>ei ;
but for tiie reliance placed on this convention, Pa
lis, which Was then defended by an army under
Marshal Davousi, whicli might ensure at least a
temporary victory, would never have opened its
gales to the enemy. Marshall Ney was protected
by this convention, and the decision of tiie Cham
ber of Peers which precluded his defenders from
citing or reb ing on it, because it bad been revoked
by Louis XVIlI, was alone sufficient to stamp the
sentence with an indelible character of illegality.
The only object in making use of the Treaty of
Nov. 7 in the defence, was to ground the protest
against tlie illegality of the whole mode of pro
ceeding from first to last. This protest, which
having been prepared by me, was copied by tlie
Marshal, is now in my possession, in his handwrit
ing. His children have now the sacred duty of
again enforcing it, and 1 am proud to be again tiie
organ by which it will, I trust, with happier result,
be onee more urged before the tribunals of the
country. I approve of the reference recommend
ed by the Commute.—(Loud applause.)

Tlie following motion, submit ted by Mr. iiohnesj
was taken up-lot consideration: - -
Resolved, That the nomination of Martin Van
Buren be recommitted to the Committee on For
eign Relations; and that said Committee be in-
suucted to investigate (he causes which produced
the removal of the late Secretaries of the Treasury
and tiie Navy Department, and of the Attorney
General oftiie United State's, and also the resigna
tions of the Senvtaries of the State and War De
portments; and report to the Senate whetl er the.
oniy causes of that novel and important political
movement are given in the letters oftiie President
of the U. States, addressed on liiat occasion to the
several officers above enumerated; and, if not, what
were the causes to which these removals and resig
nations ought to be ascribed. And also, whether
tlie said Martin Van Buren, then Secretary ofState,
participated in any practices disreputable to the
national character, which were designed to operate
on the mind of the Presieent of the United Si.vtes;
and calculated to smooth the wav to his appoint
ment to that high olllce to which he has been nom
inated.
Resolved, That for the purpose of carrying into
edict the objects of the preceding resolution, the
said Committee be further, authorized to send lor
persons and papers, and to compel the attendance
trlbre them ol‘such witness or "witnesses as. they,
may desire to examine on oath, touching the mat

A debate ensued; and,*on motion hy Air. Holmes,
