And joy is in your song;
Ye bear upon your dewy wings
The Spring's first breath along.
Ye herald in the happy morn,
That is the birth of flowers;
Ye tell that Winters chills have gone.
Its snows and icy towers.
Ye hide the earth in its carpet weave,
In Nature's matchless loom;
The wrap for many a grassy leaf,
The wool from floweret's loom.
. Ye bid die naked branches dress,
In all their proud array,
And all things don their loveliness,
To welcome back the day.
Ye bid the icy fetters fall
From many a prisoned rill;
Aud onward joyful at your call,
They gambol down the hill.
All nature wakes from sleep, the cloud
Shades not the sun's bright ray;
No more the storm-winds howling loud,
Disturb the zephyr's lay.
Pass on, pass on to other land,
Ye birds of merry note;
Sing there of Spring, ye starry band,
From everv tuneful throat.
And gladden every heart that hears
Your message from above:
Pass on, and dry up winter's tears,
Sweet harbingers of love.
29th Congress ls4 Session.
Correspondence of the Civilian.
Washington-, April 29th, 184G.
Thus far we have had an exciting week,
and one which, in many respects, will be
long remembered in our public history.
On Monday the Locofoco majority in the
House of Representatives, departed from
their regular business, and suspended the
rules, to allow Charles J. Ingersoll to
make a renewed attack uoon Mr. Web
ster. It was not pretended that any cause
had been given, for this proceeding; . but
the opportunity to hear a great man ca
lumniated, was a sufficient reason widi
Locofoeos, why the interests ol the coun
try should be kicked under the table, as
they have been treated, by the same par
ty during this whole session. Ingersoll,
of course, and as customary, abandoned
all his former charges, and presented a
new series, omitting however the most
important accusations in his former as
saults. When he had concluded, Air.
Ashman of Mass. replied and shewed
how, on all occasions, one set of calumn
ies had been deserted as fast as they were
met and denounced. He referred to in
fiduous means, which had been employ
ed, to induce Mr. Tyler to join in this
crusade againct Mr. Webster, but Mr.
Tyler had publicly declared, every dol
lar, of the Secret Service Fcnd
was expended by his direction and
approved. Ingersoll inquired if it was
mennt to be imputed hk had sent agents
to Mr. Tyler! to which Mr. Ashman an
swered, "yes, sir." Ingersoll then rose
with great violence and excitement, appa
rently under the influence of liquor, and
shouted at the top of his lungs, "it is a
falsehood it is a lie it is ths lie of a
coward' and other like blackguardism.
This is the manner in which the pub
lic business has suffered during a session
of ice month, and the mode by which
the character of Congress has been de
preciated. The Chairman of the Com- '
mittce on Foreign Affairs one whose
age should have cooled the vindictiveness
of his passions and whose experience,
should have instructed in some principle
of decency, hurling at honorable and res
pectabir men, such epithets, as "liar and
coward!' Truly, these spectacles sicken
ons at the future prospect of the country,
if this corrupt and cheating system of
miscalled '-democracy" is longer to pre
vail. There is not a day in the week,
upon which you do cot find, three or four
Locofoeos sleeping ofl the effects of last
night's debauch" on the side benches
others again, are hardly able to hold
themselves up, while vomiting forth coarse
and ribald denunciation. Some are open
and avowed infidels, respecting neither
the laws of God or man and one of them,
Chipman of Michigan, rejoices in two
"wives. Will not the people remedy
such crying evils, or is the Press afraid
to speak out the trnth by letting them
know to what an extent they exist? I
could name more than three who have
been suffering under manl pott this
session and who have been brought to
the verge of the grave. Still they are bad
?.s ever. I dislike to touch these points,
lv.t they involve national reputation and
these ruffian like assaults of Ingersoll,
lower us in moral scale, and in the csti
panoa of the world at large.
After the discussion on Monday, on mo-
tion of Mr. Schenck, it was resolved, that der my observation. Gen. Thompson, -.inclinations.

point a second committee to inquire into on Mexico. "What he says, is well said, detained the Members of Congress from
the truth of the charges, with a view -to
3
impeachment, both of which were adopt
ed. The first consists of Mr. Schenck,
Mr. Dobbin, Mr. Mcllvainc and Mr.
Rockwell the other of Mr. Petit, Mr.
Vinton, Mr. J. Davis, Mr. D. P. King
and Mr. Wilmot.
Thecomraitte headed by Mr Schenck,
met this morning and adjourned over to
Tuesday next. That upon the impeach
ment will be called together on Monday.
Under present circumstances, I do not
feel it proper to speak of the probable re
sult. Although it would have been more !
becomeing to have omitted the name of
Mr. Wilmot, from such a tribunal, be
cause he is the confidential and most in
timate friend of Mr. Ingersoll, still there
is no strong case of exception in the -construction
of the committees. The Spea
ker has eudeavered to speak impartially,
and his intensions deserve to be respect
ed, for his duties throughout, have been
discharged with fairness and candor.
Mr. Mason the Attorney Ceneral, who
examined all the papers that were trans
mitted to the President on the snbject,
who was himself actingSecretary of Stale,
after Mr. Webster left the department,
stated on Monday, night, he -felt humilia
ted and disgusted at the grossness and
falsehood of the imputations against Mr.
Webster. It was within his knowledge,
in the adjustment of Secret Service mo
ney, that Mr. Webster had paid the ap
parent balance in the accounts, amoun
ting to $2,290, so as to bring them to a
close and sometime afterwards, had actu
ally returned to him $1,000 of the sum,
vouchers to that extent, having been dis
covered. An announcement was made in the
"Union" yesterday, that the discussion of
the Tariff, would begin about the first of
May. There is no prospect whatever of
any such occasion. Besides tiie party
decided in caucus a fortnight ago, all the
appropriation bills should be disposed of,
before the Tariff was taken up. The
evil day will probably be put ofl two
weeks longer.
A movement has at length been made,
to dispose of the Smithsonian bequest or
rather so much of it, has has not disap
peared in Arkansas and Illinois bonds.
The plan adopted in the House, in lieu of
that proposed by Robert 1). Owen, origi
nated with Mr. Hough and contemplates
the erection of a proper building the col
lection of specimens in the arts and sci
ences, a chemical labaratory-periodieal
lectures and the gradual formation of a li
brary by an outlay of $5,000 per annnra.
It possesses noneef the Fourier features,
so tenaciously insisted upon by Mr. O
wen and is less objectionable, in many
respects. I hope and believe, it will pass
the Senate.
Some of the intermeddling prints are
circulating a story, that Mr. Clay has
written a letter declining under any cir
cumstances to be a candidate for the
Presidency in 1848, and expressing a
decided preference for the nomination of
General Scott. There is not one syl
lable of trcth in the statement. Mr.
Clay has written no such letter, nor any
other bearing npon the topic involved.
It is well understood, bv Mr. Clay's best
friends; that his name will never again,
with his consent, be submitted to the A
merican people, for any office or favor,
and it is equally known, he has not indi
cated, and will not name a favorite, a
mong the candidates of the Whiz party.
He very properly believes, that duty de- J
volvesupon another tribunal, the deliber
attons, of which, should not be influen
ceJ by any other considerations than the
public good, and success of Whig prin
ciples. If our opponents are making
these movements to commit us to Gen.
Scott, at this early day, they will be de
ceived and if his friends, have without
reflection, thought proper' to jcodardize
his chances for a nomination, by bring
ing him into the field at this improper time, !
upon their heads must rest the responsi
bility. The Whig party has higher ob
ligations to fulfil, than to canvass the ex
pediency of candiditesnow, and it would
be vastly more profitable, that we put our
shoulders tothe wheel to rid the country
of Locofoco misrule, before thinking of
matters, which the events of the next two
years may change entirely. Every Whig
should be free to take the best candi
date when the day of trial comes, and
none should be so wedded to one man or
another, that he cannot be abandoned,
without reluctance for the common
cause.
The Hon. Waddy Thompson has a
most interesting book in press, compri

It is to be published by Wiley k Putman,

YINDEX.
TIIE SESSION OF COX ESS
has run on thus far without our having
found the least inducement, or excuse, in
the joint action of the two Houses, to re
view their acts, or speculate upon the
progress which they were likely to make
in public business during the remainder
of the time before them. At length, how
ever, at the close of the Fifth 5lonth of
the Session, we have arrived, not at a stopping-place,
but at a starting point, at
which the ordinary and usual business of
tne sessioe may be said to be about to
begin. !

hardly be said to have been in sight, un- lne hill on that subject there are too

pleasure to understand from the govern- ' no sucn instumentof coercion as the Prc
ment paper, will receive the signature of . vious Question. In that body debate will

boundary between the United States and lnat we consider ourselves within bounds
Great Britain may be regarded as the
settled policy of the United States, and of
course lor the present no longer matter
for debate or controversy at the Capitol.
Nor do we expect the subject to be kept
alive, during the remainder of this ses
sion, still further to distract and divert
the attention of Congress from the proper
duties of legislation, in sny other form in
which it may be presented. We take it
for granted that, after the recorded ap
probation of the policy of peace by more
than three-fotu ihs of both Houses of Con
gress, wc shall hear no more of adopting
in anticipation measures which only the
termination of the joint occupation of the
Oregon territory can afford any sufficient
reason lor, and which could, in the mean
time, if sanctioned by Congress, do noth
ing effective but what might be also mis
chievous. We sincerely congratulate Congref s on
being relieved from this obstacle , to their
progress in such legislation as the gener
al interest and the various wanLs and
grievances of the different classes of in
dustry and the differcut regions of our
country invite and require, We only re
peat whot wc have said before, when, re
joicing as we do in this result, we know
that we express a sentiment which will
find a response iu the bosom of the great
mass cf the people of this country, of
every degree.
ISor is there, as the government paper
is pleased to imagine, any. inconsistency
in our having, as it says, "ever since the
appearance of the Message, condemned
the policy of the Executive as a policy of
war." and now declaring the late decis
ion by Congress to be "a vote highly au
spicious to the preservation of peace."
The "Union" mistakes, in the first place,
our position in regard to the Message.
Wc never for a moment hare supposed,
since our first deliberate perusal of the
Annual Message of the President, (the
"message" to which that paper refers,)
that the policy of the President was a
policy of War. We said, on the con
trarv, and maintained it against the go
ernment paper itself, that the President
intended Peace; which wc inferred
from the terms of the Mesage, and from
the utter absence from that . paper of any
recommendation of preparation, either
financial or military, for impending war.
We did not believe, and we do not yet
believe, the measures recommended by
the President in his Message, literally
followed out, would have tended to bring
on a war, if they had not rendered it "in
evitable." Most decidedly, therefore,
were we opposed ta the giving a naked
"notice," which, though not in itself
cause of war, nor even of offence, would
have become so by the measures with
which it was proposed to accompany it,
and which in ail probability would have
accompanied it, had a majority of both
Houses been found ready to take that
desperate hazard. But, happily, most
happily, things took a different turn. The
Joint Resolution (thanks to the Senate) a
voids the hazard, and, whilst it seeks an
early termination of the controversy,
seeks it in the spirit of conciliation, and
with the expression of full confidence in
an amiable settlement of the difficulty.
All honor for this to the wisdom and en
larged patriotism of the Senate! .Nor
let us withhold from the House of Rep
resentatives the honer due for having at
last yielded with a good grace that assent
to the Senate s modification, which mere
is every reason to believe it opposed from
the first only for form's sake, and was at
any time willing to have given -had the
indulge
their
their homes and their affairs, may be ex
pected to close. Judging from the ex
perience of many years, we should say
that it is quite possible that the dog-days
I will find them still at their posts. We
j found this probability upon the supposi
I tion that there is a serious intention on the
part of the Administration party in Con
gress to persevere in the purpose of a re
vision and reduction of the Tariff, and in
other measures of a kindred character, in
tended to effect a radical change in the
Domestic policy' cf the country. The
Previous Question is , we know, in the
House of Representatives, a powerful en
gine in the hands of an assured and dis
ciplined majority. It has already been
made effective in the suppression of de
bate upon the Subtreasury bill, (one of
the measures referred to,) just as it was

STEWART'S SPEECH.
On our first page will be found this
able defence of American labor. We
commend it to the attention of our read
ers. It is condensed, brief and to the
point. It shonld be read by every man,
woman and child in the country. Espe-
-cially should every farmer make himself
thoroughly acquainted with its arguments.
With such an acquaintance, the scheme
of Sir Robert Peel and Sir Robert Walk
er, cannot be consumated without a strug
gle such as the country has not witnessed
for years. The industry and interests of
America can never shrink back into colo
nial vassalage. - The party that repeals
the Tariff will be itself repealed. Up
on such an issue, American against Brit
ish policy, the conspirators against Amer
ican Independence will be left solitary
and alone.
There are features in the policy of the
Polk administration its unquestionable
claim to ail Oregon, while it offered to
take a part, its fury for war without an ef
fort of preparation, its clamor against
England, while secretly selling off the
Tariff that will not bear the ordeal of
discussion.
The people always jealous of sinis
ter intrigue -will cling the more to the
Tariff when they , know that it is torn
from them to be laid at the footstool of
British ambition. The hollow, partial,
and deceptive character of their fettered
free-trade cannot be concealed from the
American people. In 1845, of the thirty
nine millions received in Liverpool from
the United States, but little more than two
and a half were of agricultural products
other than cotton-trad tobacco. Does En
gland propose tD let our tobacco enter her
ports free of duty, or indeed anything
else which the absolute wants of her star
ving inhabitants do not demand! Our ag
riculturists will soon realize the fact that
they cannot compete successfully with
the vicinage of Great Britain in the mar
ket for bread stuffs the Baltic and Medi
terranean will probably undersell and ex
clude us, and if they do not, will so com
pete with us aa to leave a trade less valu
able than that which we have possessed
through the ports of Canada. Should the
Tariff be repealed, - and the present pro
ject annihilates protection, the results
must produce in the public mind a reac
tion which no administration, no party
can sustain. The instruments of British
orders in council may dig the grave of the
Tariff; but let them take heed they do not
fall into it. Register Examiner.

FROM LAKESUPERIOH.
We have hesitated, for two or
three
days, about giving the following. The
tales that are told of the richness of the
mineral regions of Xake Superior so far
surpass all that was at first anticipated,
that it is not surprising they should be
received with some grains of allowance,
and so long as those tales were unverified
by actual results, we declined giving
them. But now that the mines have
been scientifically worked, and the results
more than fulfil all that the most sanguine
imagined, we do not feel justified in with
holding from our readers well-authenticated
statements of facts. There now can
scarcely be a doubt that the mines of
Lake Superior are among the richest of
the world, and their working will add
immensely to the wealth and resources
of the country. The business to indi
vidnals is hazardous, and may b losing,
if prosecuted without due care and knowl
edge; but if such are exercised, it must
richly repay enterprise:
From the DuCalo Commercial Advertiser.
Detroit, March 1G, 1810,
I herewith enclose to you copies ol
some letters just received from Lake Su
perior, the one from Dr. Kinney, Sur
geon, U. S. A., the other from a a Fur
Trader, in the employ of Gen. Pheps, of
this city. He is, as you see, an unletter
ed man, and he gives facts just as he sees
them with his own eyes. It is import
ant that public attention should be direct
ed to statements of facts from authentic
sources. These letters, although seem
ingly extravagant, are corroborated by
numerous other letters to our citizens.
I will thank you to publish them with
such comments as you please. I vouch
for the authenticity of the letters, "the re
spectability of the writers, and that they
have no earthly interest in either one of
the companies referred to. Rest assured
that six months will show that Lake Su
perior is the richest mining conuntry in
the world,
Extract of a letter from Dr. Kinney, Sur-
goon U.S. A. to his brother, Benjamin
Kinney at Detroit, dated
Copper Harbor, Ecbruary 5. 1840.
"I am confident that the excitement
will not abate soon. As soon as the peo
ple begin to come up they will see for
themselves they will see what they
never saw before, that is, p ire copper and
silver in bodies from one ounce to five
and eight tons !
"A few d.tys since a solid mass of pure
copper was taken out of the earth weigh
ing about 9 tons.
" Near the sanie place they are taking
out another mass nearly as large. This

Pittsburg works." j

11 feet square and 15 from the surface,
when the vein running through the centre
of the shaft was found to contain a mass

form no description, as they have found
neither end nor yet the bottom. I went
down into the shaft to see it, and fonnd it

think a little thicker at the bottom than
at the top. It is estimated, by those best
acquaited with estimating irregular chunks
of copper, to weigh about eight times zs
much as the copper rock carried Irom

place where they are at work this winter

CT"The "Register," printed at West
Chester, in replying to some remarks of
the "Republican" ot that place, adminis
ters to that paper and the party it sup
ports, the following merited rebuke:-
"As tothe Bank of the United States, of
which it speaks, it may be well to remem
ber that the bank, in 1916, was chartered
by Democratic votes, and that had it not
been fordemocraticvotcs inl836,'halBank(
as a State Bank, would never have gone
into existence; and as to the -favorable
legislation' for tha' bank, it may be well
to remember also, that whatever was
done was cflected through a locofoco
Governor, and that a locofoco agent had to
flee the State, for his alleged corruption
in the matter. It is a matter of history,
that wherever corruption was to be effec
ted, in legislation or otherwise, a lacofoco
was the agent who offered the bribe, and
a locofaco was the recipient, from the
days of "favorable legislation" concerning1
the United Slates Bank to the days of
"favorable reports" for the Locofoco Le
high County Bank of the present year.
So notoriously corrupt has that party be
come, that if it were not for the Whig
principles that are occasionally infused
into government proceedings, our whole
political fabric would fill to the ground,
because of the rottenness of the locofoco
props which the people have been delu
ded to erect for its support."

Frederick City, Md., April. 18th 1816.
A tremendous fire has been raging on
the top of the Catoctin mountain, about
6 miles distant from here in a northwest
course, the devouring element covering
a surface of 500 acres, it is supposed, and
so dense was the smoke, and of such
volume, (the wind being favorable V
drive it over the city) that to all appear
ances, save that of the blaze coursing its
way on the top of the mountain, where,
apparently a numbes of persons seemed
to be moving toward it for the purpose to
snbdue the flames, engaged about the
fire. A terrible gust was hanging over
US.
The Sugar Loaf mountain, distant a
bout 12 miles, and the Catoctin mountain,
in a more southern direction than tho
firp ne:ir Frederick, are also ob fire: how
! originating I did not learn.
TIIE MORMONS.
We learn from the Nauvoo Eagle that
all the Mormon publications have been
discontinued. The archives and trap
pings of the church hive been removed,
and are now on the way to California.
The church (says the Eagle) has ceased
to exist, the "Twelve" have gone, and
with them the acting spirit of Mormon
ism. Camp of Israel is ths name which,
j the advance company of Mormons have
assumed. The latest accounts from them
stal3 that they had crossed the head wa-
of the temple offer to lease it to any re
ligious society or literary institution.
A" weal thy gentleman from the South, a
bach elor, far advanced in life, has gone to
Nauvoo, to purchase the'temple, if it car
be bought for a reasonable price, and con
vert it Into an Asylum for des:itut3 wid
ows and females, and to purchase lands
and town lots, and endow it out of the re
sults of them. Biekncll.
