Night hung on Bu!em’s towerfc,
And a brooding hush profound
Lay where the Hoinun Eagle shone,
High over ihe tents around—
The tents that rose by 'hoitsa dk,
In the moonlight glimmering pale:
Like white waves of a frozen soa,
Filling po Alpine vale.
And Ihe temple'a massy shadow •
Fell bread and dark, and still;
In Peace as if the Holy One
Vet watch'd his clg&eu bill.
But a fearful sound was heard
In that old fane's deepest beart,
As if mighty wings rush'd by,
And a dread voice raised the cry,
“Lot us depart.’’
Within the fated city
Ev n then fierce discord raved,
Tho' through the night’s heaven the coinet
sword
Its vongoful token waved.
Them were shontii of kindred warfare
Through the dark streets ringing high,
Thongn every sign was full Which told
Os the bloody vintage nigh;
Though the wild red spear and arrows.
Os many a meteor best,
l\ ent flashing o’er the holy stars,
lu the sky now semi, now lost.
And the fearful aoiind was heard
in the temple's deepest heart,
As if mighty wings rufil’d bv,
And a voice cried nionrfuily,
“ Let us depart.”
But within the fated city
There was revelry that night;
The wine'cup and the timbrel note,
And the blaze of the banquet light.
The footsteps of the dancer,
Went hounding Ll?n*ugh the hall
And the music of the dulcimer
Summon'd to festival.
While the clash of brut her-weapons
Made lightening in the air,
And the dying at the palace gates
Lay down in their despair.
And that fearful sound was heard,
At the temple’s thrilling heart;
As if mighty wings rush'd by,
And a dread voice raised the cry—

INTERESTING HISTORICAL AN
ECDOTE.
The debates in the convention which
framed the present constitution of the
United States have never been fully re
ported, and for some of tin; most inter
esting facts in relation to that body we
are obliged to resort to the verbal narra
tives of its members. The following let
ter writteij in the tear 1625 by an ulti
mate friend of the youngest member of
the convention and purporting to give an
account of what transpired at a crises of
intense interest and momentious con
sequence to the country was first publish
ed in the New-York Daily Advertiser of
Wednesday last. It will he read with
delight by every American Christain and
patriot and should be preserved as an
important document iu the history of
Franklin Washington, and the Union.
Some of the facts have appeared before
but the whole story, we believe, has nev
er been published in a form so full and
authentic Let the spirit w hich prevail
ed in this convention he dicrised in all
sections of the country, and especially let
God be duly honored; and notwithstand
ing the storms which threaten us, our
Union may still continue for many cen
turies.— N. Y. Observer.
Painted Post, , 1825.
I some time ago repeated to you a his
toriele anecdote, in which you felt so
much interested that you extorted from
me a promise that I would at some mo
ment of leisure commit it to paper for
you. lam now seated for that purpose,
and shall relate it as nearly as I can ie
collect, in the words of one of the mem
bers of the general convention who fram
ed the constitution.
1 was, s’nid he, a delegate front in
the general convention which assembled
in Rhiladelphiu for the purpose of diges
ting u constitution for the United States,
uqd 1 believe 1 was the youngest member
of that body. The great niid good Wash
ington tvus choieu our president, and Dr.
Franklin, among other great men, was a
delegate from IViinsylvania. A disposi
tion was soon discovered in some mem
bers to display themselves iu oratorical
flourish! hut the good sense and tlescre
tion of the majority put down all such
attempt*. We hud enlivened to deliber
ate upon, and if possible effect a great
MHtiomd object—to search for poKcftl wis
dotu and Hath. Tll’ st* w*» meant to pur-

d»»g whfCii Would L ive a tqiafimcv tti
divert over attention or perplex our
scheme.
A gre,it variety of project- wen propo
sed, all republican in their general out
iiuess hut differing in their details' It
was-therefore determined that cer: <ni •*!-
emcutarj principles should at first be es
tablished a. each branch >f the in
tended constitution, uiid afterwards the
details should lx- debated and tilled
«P;
There was little or no difficulty in de
termining upon the elementary principle;
such as, for instance, that the govern inch t
should be a republican r< preSentdtive gov
ernment; that it should he divided into
three branches, i-e. legislative executive
and judicial, &c. But when the organi
zation of the respective branches of the
legislature came under consideration, it
was easy to ho perceived that the Eas
tern and Southern States bud distinct in
terests which it was difficult to reconcile
and that the larger States were disposed
to form a constitution iu which the smal
ler Slates would be more appendages and
satellites to the larger ones. On the first
of these subjects much animated and
someu hat angry debate had takan place,
when the rate ot representation iu the
lower house of Congress was before us—
tile Southern States claiming for them
selves the whole number ol black popula
tion, while the Eastern States w ere ior
confining the elective franchise to
freenieu only, without respect to col
or. ’ f ,
As the difierent parties adhered pertin
aciously to their different positions, it was
feared that tins would prove an insur
mountable obstacle; Dm as the members
were already generally satisfied that no
constitution could he formed winch would
meet the views and subserve the interests
of each individual States, it was evident
that it must he a matter ol compromise
and mutual consession. Under these,
impressions, and with these views, n was
agreed at length that each State should
be entitled to one delegate 111 me House
of Representatives for every thirty thou
sand of its inhabitants, in winch number
should he included threc-iiitlisoi the whole
number of their slaves.
When the details of the house of repre
sentatives were disposed ofa more knotty
point presented itseli in the organization
of the Senate. The larger States con
tended that the same ratio as to 6tates
should be common to both branches of
the Legislature, or, iu other words, that
each State should he entitled to a r< pre
sentation in the Senate (whatevermight
he thfc number lixed on) 111 proportion"
to its population, iis in the 1 louse ot Rep
fesentutives. The smaller States, on
the other hand contended that the House
of Representatives might he considered
as the guardian of the liberties of the
people, and therefore ought to have a just
proportion to their numbers; but that the
Senate represented the sovereignity of
the States, and that as each State whether
great or small, we equally an independ
ent and sovereign State, it ought in this
branch of the Legislature to have eeual
weight and authority.—Without this they
said, there would be no security for their
equal rights, and they would by such a
distribution of power, be merged and losfi
iu the larger States.
This reasoning however plain and pow
erful, had hut little iudtieiice on tlie minds
of the Delegates from the larger Stales;
mid as they formed a large majority of
the Convention the question, after passing
through the forms of debate was deci
ded that each States should he represen
ted in the Senate in proportion toils pop-'
illation.
When the convention had adjourned
over to the next day, the delegates of the
four smaller Stares, viz. Rhode Island
Connecticut, New Jersey, and Delaware,
convened to consult what course was to
he pursued in the important crisis at w Inch
we had arrived. After a serious investi
gation it was solemnly determined to ask
for a re-considerntion the next morning;
and if it was not granted or if when gran
ted, that offensive feature of the constitu
tion could not he expunged and the smal
ler States put upon an equal footing with
the largest we would secede from the '■in
vention and returning to our constituents
inform them that no compact could he
formed with the lafge States but one which
would sacrifice our sovereignty and inde
pendence.
I was deputed to be the organ through
which their communication should be
made. I know not why unless it be that
young men are generally chosen to per
form rash actions. Accordingly when
the convention had assembled, and as
soon as the minutes of the last sitting
were read I rose arid stated the view we
bail taken of the organization of the Se
nate our desire to obtain a t'•-considera
tion and suitable modification of that
article at J in failure thereof our de
termination to secede from the con
vention and return to our constitu
ents.
This disclosure, it may readily be sup
posed, produced an immediate and great
excitement in every part of the house.
Several uieiidters were itnmediately on
the floor to express their surprise or in
•bgrinUon. 'I hey represented that the
•pievtiou had r< < tit ii] u full and fair it - '
