ferred to a select committee consisting
of Messrs. Bucknlcw, Anthony, Forry,
Morton, Warner, Rico, and Wado.
Maimjii 2, 18C9.
Mr. Wade, from the Select Commit

tho bill without amon-lment, as follows
A DILI; TO AMEND THE RKFIIESENTA-
TION OF THE FKOFU: IN CONQRKS3.
JJe il enacted by the Senate and House
if Representatives of the United Stales
of America in Congress assembled, That
in elections lor mo cnotco or represen

Sin tho, same day Mr. Hue siilew from

written ,lwport to accompany thq wild

of thq reform proposed by it. Wo have
had an arrangement miulo for forward
Ing to many of our subscribers oillcial
copies of this- Report, but it is not pos
wiblo to Kupply all, of them, and the
great length of tho Report renders it
unsuitable for republication in our, col
umns. Under theso circumstances wo
havo. concluded to prepare nnd publish,
from tlino to tjiuo, a number of brief
iirticlo.1. on tho subject of reformed vo
ting which shall Include tho views con

ttoned, and in other publlcationsin this
country and Great Britain. Thus all
our readers will, in duo time, have pre
sented to them full information upon au
Important question which will hereafter
undergo much debate and probably re
sult, inJmportant changes in our elec
toral system. For the principle: of tho
proposed reform is capablo of very- ex
tenslvo application aqd is ono of the
highest importance to the duo.' working
of our republican institutions. Fortun
ately also it is not ono of a partisan
character and may claim tho support of
nil parties and of men of independent
views.
The unanimous report and. approval
of tho Senate bill (above given) by the
Commlttoo to which It was referred, Is
'auspicious of Its success hereafter when"
it shall be further considered, and par
ticularly, when aid, shall bo afforded It
by public opinion formed outside of
Congress. .And the present representa
tion of parties ini Congress ls'so Imper
fect, or rather so 'unequal and unjust,
that there will be a generaljdisposltion
toward reform whenevera practical and
effectual measure to secure it cornea 'to'

IN MEMOKIAM OF J. llRAUKOUD REEDBR.
A. mourning home, a vacant chair,
Tho oiio we lov'd so well, oh where
Oil where Is he, '
That stalwart though still youthful form,
That, late the glow oi health hath, worn
How can It be.
At borne, abroad, where'er ho went.
Ills presence always pleasure lent,
Tnoughtful was he,
Of other's happiness and Joy
Jle truly was a manly boy,
Kewlllio we see.,
Naught heard we o'er of language rude
Borne called him "coward," others, "prude,"
A man was he,
Ilo tcorn'd the tannltng sneers of those,
Who tho vile ways of vlco had chose,
Vlceless was he.
.Hit schoolmates all his loss now fee),
Ills brow thus mark'd by death's cold beal,
Hath oft In thought,
Mastered Uio problems of life, '
An d oft engag'd in friendly strife
, With the so who taught.
, Tho vacant soat oft claims our thought,
ho .blinding tears como hot for naught,
We miss him thero';
A'valtted friend, thou art not hero,
To slay the swiftly falling tear,
For one so (air.
If 0 mora thy (arm , will grace tho scenes,
Of old, that flll'd thy boyish dreams,
Thy bright oyo dim,
In death, no more will Hash and gleam,
No mere of victory wilt thou dream
O'erev'ry sin.
Kay Father shrink, not from tha blow ;
Thlno eldest born uo mora shall know
Of sorrow there.
And Mother weep not for thy son
Hoot far above ho beckons,"come,"
Ills Joy to share., ,
And Wilbur though thour't !of"louo
Thy brothers' spirits both havo tlowu
To Joys unknown.
Seek then. "The pearl of prico" that thou
May'st meet them whero they Joyous bow
Uefore Clod's throne.
Yes lltusronu RuAUin thou art gone.
No moro we see thy well known form,
In vain wo try.
To rcallte tho loss, thour't gone ' ,
And we are left thy loss to mourn,
To weep and slgK 1
Hut, and tiio thought brings peaeo and 'Joy,
Thour't where pure bliss bos. no alloy,
Thy harp doth sound,
The praise of him w ho died lor theo
Whose glories now e'er thou dest see
Praises redound
Then weep not lor the son so dear
There's one still left thy heart to cheer
Fprget htm pot.
Pit him to meet lilt brothers there,
Tune ye hit harp with greatest care,
Fulfil thy lot.
Then when thy work"on earth Is d6no,
Jtsi's will say, "up higher come,"
Thy sorrow o'er,
Tuoul't striko glad bands aud striko thy harp
With Joy, thou never more shall part.
No never more.
