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.

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.

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- VOL U.-VO. 31. sue with simplicity, ami tq avoid 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 - '
