I love to climb the towering hill,
At dusky twilight hour.
To View the beautious queen of night
Just rising from her bower-
And watch the winding. gurgling rill,
So gaily onward I'oss"d—-
‘1"liroug‘n brake and fern and woody glen,
Till in the distance lost.
I love to wander liy the light
Shed by the silv"ry uioon.
Among the trees that rear their heads
Amid the church-yard gloom—
And listen to the plantive notes
Of Autumn’s gentle breeze.
As mou-rnfully it sweeps along,
Among the fading trees.
I love to linger’round the graves
u VVhere humble christains rest.
And gaze upon the clear blue sky
Beyond. where five the blest:
For there‘ undyingjoy awaits
The meek and humble soul-
There friends shall meet no more to parts
While ages onward roll.
But ah. there's one thrice hallowed spot
Mark’d bya pure white stone,
Where rests a true. devoted heart
Dear to me as my own_;
I love to linger near that mound-—
An altar more divine.
And clearer far than Persian gems.
Or treasur'd Orient shrine.

ate debate on the revenue billjust passed, thus
alludes to the remarks of"llic man in the corner”
-and to the rebuke administered to him by our
able Senator, Mr. Huntington:
The people of Connecticut in particular,
ought to be informed of the conduct of their
Senators on the occasion. Especially should
they be made acquainted with the sentiments
avowed -by Mr. Perry Smith, in the remarks
be made this morning. He denounced the
bill in the most exciting and vindictive terms
which his limited acquaintance with the
English language could command. He
stigmatised the factories and work _ shops of
New England. as the ‘hot beds qfarzslocrocy
—-and declared that he never could give his
vote for a measure designed as this bill was
to pamper and protect them. VVhen this
recreant Senator resumed his seat, Mr. Hon-
tington of the same State, rose and adminis-
tcred to his colleague a most severe and
withering rebuke. He alluded to the vio-
lcnt language in which he had denounced
the doctrine of protection and then called his
attention to the resolutions ofthe Connecti-
cut Legislature, passed by his own party,
which the renowned ‘man. in the corner’ had
.-presented to the Senate himself, and in which
he was instructed to vote for a. protective
tariff, disconnected with the distribution! Mr
Huntington then branched out in an eloquent
defence of the manufacturers. mechanics and
laborers of New England. against the coarse
attack of his colleague——and expressed a
desire that the infl:lh'lll.0l'y language he had
used, and the agrarian sentiments he had
uttered, might be made known to the honest
- aomanry of Connecticut, for their special
ll fication and improvement.

lA_mz..sing' Incirlent—-T/Le Some old Coon.

rated a vast deal of amusement. As one of
- delegations from a neighboring township
was entering the town in a long procession.
various banners, emblems and devices. and
singing Whig songs. in the spirit of 1840, a
cluster of Loco Focos standing among some
IW-'higs were busy in making remarks upon
the approaching multitude. ‘See.’ said one
of the Locos, ‘there comes \Vhiggery. with
its banners, clap-traps and humbugs. and 1
sliouldn’t wonder ifthey had the same old
jam; they had here in the Convention of
1840. ,
By this time the van of the. pl'OCr‘SS|0l'I
began passing the group. First came a
long string of horsemen, six or eight abreast
each man bearing some appropriate banner.
Next came a car on which a number_ of
blackhsmiths were at work and bearing
various emblems of their trade. Then
came another car bearing a parcel of shoe-
makers at work, and also having appropriate
banners and devices. Next came a large
car of Log C.tl)ll'i boys bearing various
emblems of husbandry. and particularlya
representation of human life in the ‘slashes
of Hanover.’ In the. midst of the car was a
sapling of Kentucky oak, on which. was a
noble looking coon, having a label immedi-
ately above his head, in lame letters, " THE
soiiitn OLD coon!”
Soon as this was discovered one of the
-Whigs roared out, ‘There carries [lie old
Coon, sure enough .”

movement. solfai‘ as it has any consequence
about it, is a much greater indignity to the
President than the neglect at the dinner. If
the President views the matter as we do, he

we hope it is true. But the hoax, we must
take leave also to say was the silliest, the

in answer to the second request of Governor
King, for the surrender of Dorr, the-would-be-

as might be expected from such a man. It is
aboutiwo columns in length, abonnding with
windy and vague paragraphs. As a specimen
of his logic on the Rhode Island controversy.
the following extract is taken from the letier.—
The funniest part ofthe game is that the locofo-
co editors have taken offtlieir coats and gone to
work landing this silly effusion from Governor
Cleveland.
“It is known and admitted that after vari-
ous unsuccessful attempts on the part of
large massess of people to secure a constitu-
tional Government, ti convention of delegates

the people in their primary assemblies (but
not under any autboritv from the existing
government) and agreed upon a Constitution
or form of Governnicn to be submitted to the
people for their approval. It is known and
admitted. that this Constitution was submit-
ted to the people who by the terms of it were

adopted by a large majority ofall the citizens
of the State over twenty one years of age.
and by a numbei' of votes for exceeding the
greatest number ever given at any election

the people of Rhode Island have been divid-
ed. One portion have sustained the consti-
tutional government. and the other portion
have sustained the existing government. In
a resort by the respective parties to arms, in
support of their respective claims. Mr. Dorr
and his party, have been conquered. and the
power of the government now remains with
the existing authorities; but the result ofthis
forcible contest can have no bearing upon the

Firlucin.r1/ (lebls in. B/1.7i/:ru]2l:;_7/ ——Judge
Story, of hlass. has given a learned and at lc
decision on !.ll(!(]‘l(-‘SIIOD whether liabilities in
a firliiciziry or trust capacity are compromised
onrler the act of Bniiltriiptcy. Aftt-r refer-
ring to some preliminary quit--stions, the Judge
said ll]-Ii he had cotiie to the following con-
clusions:
1. That fiduciary debts are proveable under
the proceedings in biinkruptcy. r-qu:_il,ly with
the other debts, at the ci‘tirlitor’s.ele'6titin.
2. That if the fiduciary creditors elects to
come in and’ prove his debt, and to tiike a
dividend, he is lbnrrerf ofall other rcniedv
ihert--for, except out of the assets. I
3. Upon another point he had felt more
difficulty, name-ly, whether fiduciary debts
not proved under the proceedings in b.ink-
ruptcy, are cxtingiiished by a discharge and
certificate under the art. A ft:-r some hesita-
tion, he had come to the conclusion that they
are not. It leaves the party, as to his fidii
.:i=ii'v debts, where it finds hiin,-—to the
justice, and it may be to the mercy ofthc
r:rcdit0t‘s.
