‘A PAIN IN MY BREAST.
As silent one evening I sat by the fire. .
My couritcnttncc show’d me to be much dis
tress’d,
The cause was soon asked by my Mother, and
Sire :
I straightway rcsponded—a pain in my breast.
Nly mother alarmed, cast her knitting aside,
Arid began to reflect on the reirtctly best;
I-lcr various prescriptions in order were. tried.
Brit they had no effect on ilre-—1min in my breast.
Next, ftlllief called in a physician nfskill.
And a hope for t'eliP.\'ing me soon was expre ss't
But in spite of his medical powers and will.
He could not diiriinisli the pain. in my breast.
At length an old lady proverhially wise,
Became by the liappiestjofchances our guest;
One day after gazing some time at my eyes
She Il'2t]tlIl't‘.'l when I first felt the pain in my
b’/'ea.sl..7
I replied, that one evening a visit I paid.
To a nymph in whose presence all mortal seem-
ed blesl.
And that from my parting, that time with the
maid
Had felt more or less of the pain in my breast.
And I added, that. oft as we chanced to meet.
My bosom, her smiles of all pains dispossessed :
And wlreiic’er I withdrew from her aspect so
sweet ‘H '
I felt a return of the pain in my breast.
"Indectl.”said she smilling—-—"thcn thus I advise
Straight the heart and the ltand of the fair one

I obey’d-—l was f'.ivored—- &: praised be the skies,
I have never since felt any pain in my breast.

as touch your duty to accept this poor ser-

can never think that it is the will of God that
you, nobly useful as you are, should be sac-
rificed through the recklessness ofdesperate
and unpriiicipled men, so long as I have an
arm to defend you from ruin.
Mr. Ocklirun made no irnmedi-ate reply.-—
He arose and pitcecl the floor for a few min-
tiles with hurried steps. At length he re-
turned, and took the hand of his clerk.
William you must have security. Let

obtain situations in that institution to the

RESOLUTIONS ON THE TARIFF.
Pa.-:sei at the Late Session of the Legisla-
titre of this State.
_ IV./I.£'7‘Ct1.S, prior to the adoption of the con-
stitution of the United States, the several
States possessed the power and authority to

tion such power and authority was surrender.

I ,. ‘ i .
and ivucieas such power and authority has
been exercised bygthe General Government
ever since the adoption of the Constitution
by various enactments, based upon the prin.
ciple of discrimination, thereby affording
protection and cncouragemeiit to the agricul-
tural and ftlztnllfilcluflflg‘ interests ofthe peo-

Ittt’t=sted large aiiiounts of capital in various
pursuits, in wliich further encouragement is
€SSt.‘tll.tal to their prosperity, and conducive
to the general welfare thereof,
Resolved, That it is the rightand the duty
of Congress to adopt: a system ofdisc.rinrina-
ting duties on imports, to raise such an
amount of revenue, as with the avails ofthe
public lands, shall be sufficient to defray the
"_-‘fllellses ofa wise and prudent administra-
tion of the Government.
Resolccrl. That in adopting a tariff} rend-
ered nece;-isary by the present state of the
public revenue, sound policy requires that it
be so adjusted as to afford essential protec-
tion to the inanufacturing, mechanical, and
agi'icultui'al interests of the country.
_ Resolved, That we coincide with the sen-
tiirients expressed by"I-Iis Excellency the
Governor, ‘that it is the duty of every Gov-
ernment; as an agency established by the
people for their own benefit, promptly and
freely to exert its constitutional powers in
behalfof theivarious interests ofsociety.

principle of the Act of Congress, passed on
the 2d day of‘ March, 1833, and generally
known as the ‘Compromise Act,’ in limiting

tection to Américan industry, whether em-

or. upon the ocean.
_ Resolved, That we consider one of the
best provisions of the Aci of Congress afore-
said, to be that which requires all duties on
foreign goods, after the 30th of June, 1842,
to be paid in "Ready Money,” a provision
that should never be departed from; because
in thus requiring gold and silver, the only
‘'money” knoivn to the Constitution, to be
paid on the products of foreign workshops,
and dispensing with custom—house credits, we
impose a wholesome check upon those undue
facilities heretofore extended to foreign com-
petitors, which have often proved ruinous to
our citizens; and we at the same time furn-
ish a salutary antidote to the extravagancies
of excessive and capricious banking. the
evils of which paralyze the_arm of industry
wherever‘ they spread.
Resolved, That the inaction of Congress
on the subject of the tariff, merits and re-
ceives our decided disapprobation. We did
expect that an erelraustezl treasury, forced
loans, desolated tnanufactories, unemployed
operatives, and doubtful and gloomy pros-
pects before us all, would have furnished
sufficient incentives to arouse every Ameri-
can citizen to speedy and effective action:
