REMINISCENCES OF KATIE AND I, BY SABAH I. C. WHITTLESEY. Katie and I were frolicsome chits, When Katie and I were small; Living together, two little wee bits Of bairns, in Old Time’s hall: Katie and I, Two frolicsome obits, Two little wee bits Of bairns, in Old Time’s hall. One had tresses of auburn hue. The other had golden curls ; Eyes of hazel, and eyes of blue, Had we girls : Katie and I, In Old Time’s hall, When we were small, Sunny and sinless girls. 1 loved Katie as never a child Worshipped a child before ; For Katie was modest and meek as a wild Juno-bud on a lakelet’s shore : Little sweet Katie! Oh ! never was child, So lovely and mild, Thus worshipped by child before! But one came softly to Old Time’s door, One sighing September day, Telling us childhood's lease was o’er. And bidding us both away : Katie and I, From Old Timo’s door, ‘ To a broad sea-shore, That sighing September day 1 And never since then have the skies looked blue, To sad little Katie and me, Since coldly and kindless he parted us two : There by the sobbing sea : Katio and I, We’re drifting apart, But together in heart, We’re crossing the sobbing sea. I wonder if ever the winds will blow Our shallops together again, While the noons and the midnights comtf and go, Like satyrs along the main— Katie’s and mine? I wonder if thoy, Through th'e sparkling spray, Will side by side journey again? It is not because that my soul is dark, And hath not a beautiful ray, That I sit at the bow of my buffeted barque, And watch through the night and the day, For the far-off shore, Where the world’s wide fleet, Will by-and-by meet, At vespers of life’s short day : But this is the reason that oftentimes, Through tho winds and the sobs of the sea, I list for the vesper’s silver chimes, From tho bell of Eternity, By angels rung ; For Katie will come, From her wave-rocked home, And worship at eve with me! * SPEECH OP VICE PRESIDENT BRECKINRIDGE. Delivered in ike Senate Chamber of ihe United States, January 4,1859, on the occasion of the Removal of the Senate to the Jfew Hall. Senators : I have been oharged by the committee to whom you confided the ar rangements of this day, with the . duty of expressing some of the reflections that naturally occur in taking final leave of a chamber which has so long been occupied by the Senate. In the progress of our country and the growth of the representa tion, this room has become too contracted for representatives of the Stktes now existing and soon to exist; and, accordingly you are about to exchange it for a hall affording accommodations adequate to the present and the future. The occasion sug gests many interesting reminisoences, and it may be agreeable in the first place to ocoupy a few minutes with a short account of the various plaoes at which Congress has assembled, of the struggles whioh pre ceded the permanent location of the seat of government, and of the circumstances un der which it was finally established on the banks of the Potomac. The Congress of the Revolution was sometimes a fugitive, holding its sessions, as the chances of war required, at Phila delphia, Baltimore, Lancaster, Annapolis and York. During the period between the conclusion of peace and the commence ment of the present government, it met at Princeton, Annapolis, Trenton, and New York. After the idea of a permanent Union had been executed in part by the adoption of the Articles of Confederation, the ques tion presented itself of fixing a seat of government, and this immediately called forth intense interest and rivalry. That the place should be central, having regard to the population and territory of the Confederacy, was the only point com mon to the contending parties. Propositions of all kinds were offered, debated, and re jected, sometimes with intemperate warmth. At length, on the 7th of October, 1783, the Congress being at Princeton—whither they had been driven from Philadelphia, by the insults of a body of armed men—it was resolved that a building for the use of Congress be erected near the falls of the Delaware. This was soon after modified, by requiring suitable buildings to be also erected near the falls of the Potomac, that the residence of Congress might alternate between those two places. But the ques tion was not allowed to rest, and at length, after frequent and warm debates, it was resolved that the residence of Congress should continue at one place ; and commis sioners were appointed with full power to lay out a district for a federal town near the falls of the'Delaware. And, in the meantime, Congress assembled alternately at Trenton and Annapolis ; but the repre sentatives of other States were unremitting in exertions for their respective localities. On the 23d of Deoember, 1784, it was resolved to remove to the city of New York, and to remain there until the’build ing on the Delaware should be completed; and, accordingly, on the 11th of January, ,1785, the Congress met at New York, where they continued to hold their session until the Confederation gave place to the Constitution. The commissioners to lay out a federal •town on the Delaware, reported their pro ceedings to ; Congress, but no further steps were taken to the carry the resolution into effect. When the bonds of union were drawn closer by the organization of the new gov ernment nnder the Constitution on the 3d of March, 1790, the subject was revived and discussed with greater warmth than before; it was conceded on all sides that the residence of- Congress should continue at one place, and the prospect of stability in the government invested the question with a deeper interest. Some members proposed New York as being ‘ superior to any place they knew for the orderly and decent behavior of its inhabitants.’ To this it was answered that it was not desirable that the political capital should he in a commercial metro polis. Others ridiculed the idea of build ing palaces in the woods. Mr. Gerry, of Massachusetts, thought it highly unreason able to fix the seat of government in such a position as to have nine States of the thirteen to the northward of the place ; while the South Carolinians objected to Philadelphia on account of the number of Quakers, who, they said, continually an noyed the Southern members with schemes of emancipation. In the midst of these disputes the Houso of Representatives resolved : ‘ That the permanent seat of government ought to be at some convenient place on the banks of the Susquehanna.’ On the introduction of a bill to give effect to this resolution, much feeling was exhibited, especially by tlie Southern members. Mr. Madison thought it the proceedings of that day had been foreseen by Virginia, that State might not have become a party to the Con stitution. The ques ion was allowed by every member to be a matter of great im portance. Mr. Scott said the future tran quility and well-being of the United State? depended as much on this as on any ques tion that ever had or could come before Congress. And Mr. Fisher Ames rKnarked that every principle of pride and honor, ind even of patriotism, were engaged.— For a time any agreement appeared to be impossible ; but the good genius of our system finally prevailed, and on the 16th of July, 1790, an act was passed contain ing ilie following clause : “ That a district of Territory not exceeding ten miles square, to bo located as hereafter directed, on the river Potomac, at some place between the mouths of the Eastern Branch and Conogocheague, be, and the same is hereby, accepted, for the permanent seat of the government of the United States.”. The same act provided that Congress should hold its sessions at Philadelphia until the first Monday in November, 1800, when the government should remove to the district selected on the Potomac. Thus was settled a question which had produced much sectional feeling between the States. But all difficulties were not yet surmounted; for Congress, either from indifference or the want of money, failed to make ade quate appropriations for the erection of public buidings, and the commissioners were often reduced to great straits to maintain the progress of the work.. Find ing it impossible to borrow money in Europe, or to obtain it from Congress, Washington, in December, 1796, made a personal appeal to the Legislature of Maryland, which was responded to by an advance of $lOO,OOO ; but in so deplorable a condition was the credit of the federal government, that the State required as a guaranty of payment the pledge of the private credit of the commissioners. From the beginning Washington had advocated the present seat of government —its establishment here was due, in a large measure, to his influence ; it was his wisdom and prudence that composed disputes, and settled conflicting titles, and it was chiefly through his personal influence that the funds were provided to prepare the buildings for the reception of the President and Congress. The wings of the Capitol having been sufficiently prepared, the government removed to this District on the 17th of November, 1800. Or, as Mr. Wolcott expressed it, left the comforts of Philadel phia I to go to the Indian place with the long name, in the woods on the Potomac.’ I will not pause to describe the appearance at that day of the place where the city was to be. Cotemporary accounts repre sent it as desolate in the extreme, with its long-unopened avenues and streets, its deep morasses, and its area covered with trees instead of houses. It is enough to say, ffyat Washington projected the whole plan upon a scale of centuries, and that time enough remaios to fill the measure of his great conception. The Senate continued to occupy the north wing, and the House of Representa tives the south wing of the Capitol until the 24th of August, 1814, when . the British army entered the city and burned the publio buildings. This occurred during the recess, and the President immediately oonvened Congress. Both Houses met iu a. brick building known as Blodget’s Hotel, which occupied a part of the square now covered by the General Post Office. But the accommodations in that house being quite insufficient, a number of public spirited citizens erected a more commodious building on Capitol Hill, and tendered it to Congress ; the offer was accepted, and both Houses con tinued to occupy it until the wings of the new Capitol were oompleted. This build ing yet stands on the street opposite to the north-eastern corner of the Capitol square, and has since been occasionally occupied by persons employed in different branches of the public service. On the 6th of December, 1819, the Senate assembled for the first time in this chamber, which has been the theatre of their deliberations for more than thirty nine years. And now the strifes and uncertainties of the past are finished ; we see around us on every side the proofs of stability and improvement; this Capitol is worthy of the Republic ; noble publio buildidgs meet the view on every hand ; treasures of science and the arts begin to accumulate. As this flourishing city enlarges, it testifies to the wisdom and forecast that dictated the plan of it. Future generations will not be disturbed with questions concerning the centre of population or of territory, since the steamboat, the railroad, and the tele graph have made oommunioation almost instantaneous. The spot is sacred by a thousand memories, which are so many pledges.that the oity of Washington, founded by jiim and bearing his. revered name, with its beautiful site, bounded by picturesque eminences, and the broad Potomac, and lying within view of his home and his tomb, shall remain forever the political Capital of the United States. It would be interesting to note the gradual ohanges which have ocourred in the « THAT COUNTRY IS THE HOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.”—BUCHANAN. LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY I§, 1859- practical working of the government since the adoption of the Constitution, and it may be appropriate to this occasion to remark one of the most striking of them. At the origin of the government the Senate- seemed to be regarded chiefly as an executive connoil. The President often visited the chamber and conferred per sonally with this body. Most of its business was transacted with closed doors, and it took comparatively little part in the legislative debates. The rising and vigorous intellects of the country sought the arena of the House of Representatives as the appropriate theatre for the display of their powers. Mr. Madi son observed on one occasion that, being a young man, and desiring to increase his reputation, he could not afford to enter the Senate ; and it will be remembered that, so late as 1812, the great debates which preceded the war, and aroused the country to the assertion of its rights, took place in the other branch of Congress. To such an extent was the idea of seclusion carried, that when this chamber was completed, no seats were prepared for the accommodation of the public; and it was not until many years afterwards that the semi-circular gallery .was erected which admits the people to be witnesses of your proceedings. But now, the Senate, besides its peculiar relations to the executive department of the government, assumes its full share of duty as a co-equal branch of the Legisla ture ; indeed, from the limited number of its members, and for other obvious reasons, the most important questions, especially of foreign policy, are apt to pass first under discussion in this body, and to be a mem ber of it is justly regarded as one of the highest honors which can be conferred on an American statesman. It is scarcely necessary to point out the causes of this change, or to say that it is a concession both to the importance and individuality of the States, and to the free and open character of the government. In connection with this easy but thor ough transition, it is worthy of remark that it has been effected without a charge from any quarter that the Senate has transcended its constitutional sphere--a tribute at once to the moderation of the Senate, and another proof of thoughtful men of the comprehensive wisdom with which the framers of the Constitution secured essential principles without incon veniently embarrassing the action of the government. The progress of this popular movement, in one aspect of it, has been steady and marked. At the origin of the government, no arrangements in the Senate were made for spectators ; in this chamber about one third of the space is ailotcd to the public, and in the new apartment the galleries cover two-thirds of its arena. In all free countries the admission of the people to witness legislative proceedings is an essen tial element of public confidence, and it is not to be anticipated that this wholesome principle will ever be abused by the'sub stitution of partial and interested demon strations for the expression of a matured and enlightened public opinion. Yet it should never be forgotten that not France, but the turbulent spectators within the hall, awed and controlled the French Assembly. With this lesson and its con sequences before us, the time will never come when the deliberations of the Senate shall be swayed by the blandishments or the thunders of the galleries. It is impossible to disconnect from an occasion like this, a crowd of reflections on our own past history, and of speculations on the future. The most meagre account of the Senate involves a summary of the progress of our country. From year to year you have seen your representation enlarge ; time and again you have proudly welcomed a new sister into the Confederacy, and the occurrences of this day are a ma terial and impressive proof of the growth and prosperity of the United States. Three periods in the history of the Senate mark in striking contrast three epoohs in the history of the Union. On the 3d of March, 1789, when the government was organized under the Con stitution, the Senate was compose® of the representatives of eleven States, containing three millions of people. To-day, it is composed of the represen tatives of thirty-two States, containing more than twenty-eight millions of people, prosperous, happy and still devoted to constitutional liberty. Let these- great facts speak for themselves to all the world. The career of the United States oannoi be measured by that of any other people of whom history gives account; and the mind is almost appalled at the contempla tion of the prodigious force which has mar ked their progress. Sixty-nine years ago, thirteen States, containing three millions inhabitants, burdened with debt, and ex hausted by the long war of independence, established for their common good a free constitution, on principles new to mankind, and began thbir experiment with the good wishes of a few doubting friends, and the derision of the world. Look at the result to-day ; twenty-eight millions of people, in every way happier than an equal num ber in any other part of the globe, the centre of population and political power descending the western slopes of the Alle gheny mountains, and the original thirteen States forming but the eastern margin on the map of our vast possessions. See besides, Christianity,.civilization, and the arts given to a continent—the 'despised colonies grown into a power of the first class, representing and protecting ideas that involve the progress of the human race—a commerce greater than that of any'other nation—every variety of climate, soil, and production to make a people pow erful and happy—free interchange between the States—in a word, behold present greatness, and in the future an empire to which ancient mistress of the world in the height of her glory could not be compared. Such is our country ; aye, and more, far more than my mind could con ceive, or my tongue could utter. Is there an American who regrets the past? Is! there one who will deride his country’s : laws, pervert her Constitution, or alienate her people ? If there be such a man, let his memory descend to 'posterity laden with the exeorations of all mankind. So happy is the political and sooial con dition of the United States, and so accustomed are we io the secure enjoyment of a freedom elsewhere unknown, that we are apt to under-value the treasures we possess, and to lose in some degree the setise of the obligation to our forefathers. But when the strifes of faction shake the government, and even threaten it, we may pause with advantage long enough to i remember that we are reaping the reward jof other men’s labors. This liberty we inherit —this admirable Constitution, which has survived peace and war, prosperity and and adversity—this double scheme of gov ernment,State and Federal, so peculiar and so little understood by other Powers, yet which protects the earnings of industry, and seonres the largest personal freedom compatible with publio order f these great results were not achieved without wisdom and toil, and blood. The touching and heroic record is before the world ; bat to all this we were born, and like heirs upon whom has been east a great inheritance, have only the high duty to preserve, to extend, and to adorn it. The grand pro ductions of the era in which the foundation of this government were laid, reveal the deep sense its founders had of their obliga tions to the whole family of man. Let us never forget that the responsibilitses imposed on this generation are by so much the greater than, those which rested on our revolutionary ancestors, as the population extent and power of our country surpass the dawning promise of its origin. It would be a pleasing task to pursue many trains of thought, not wholly foreign to this occasion, but the temptation to enter the wide field must be rigorously curbed ; yet I may be pardoned, perhaps, for one or two additional reflections. The Senate is assembled for the last time in this chamber. Henceforth it will be converted to other uses; yet it must remain forever couueeted with great events, and sacred to the memories of the departed ■ orators and statesmen, who have engaged in high debates, and shaped the policy Sf their country. Hereafter the American and the stranger, as they wander through the Capitol, will turn with instinctive rev erence to view the spot on which so many and great materials have accumulated for history. They will recall the images of the great and the good, whose renown is the common property of the Union ; and chiefly, perhaps, they will linger around the seats once occupied by the mighty three,whose names and fame—associated in life—death has not been able to sever; illus trious men, who, in their generation, some times divided, sometimes led, and some times resisted public opinion—for they were of that higher class of statesmen who seek the right and follow their convictions. There, sat Calhoun, the Senator—inflex ible, austere, oppressed, but not over whelmed by his deep sense of the import ance of his public functions—seeking the truth, then fearlessly following it; a man whose unsparing intellect compelled all his emotions to harmonize with the deductions of his rigorous logic, and whose noble countenance habitually wore the expres sion of one engaged in the performance of high public duties. This, was Webster’s scat. He, too, was every icch a Senator. Conscious of his own vast powers, he reposed with confi dence on himself, and, scorning the con trivances of smaller men, he stood among his peers all the greater for the simple dignity of his senatorial demeanor. Type of his northern home, he rises before the imagination in the grand and granite out line of his form and intellect, like a great New England rock, repelling a New Eng land wave. As a writer, his productions will be cherished by statesmen and scholars while the English tongue is spoken. As a senatorial orator, his great efforts are his torically associated with this chamber, whose very air seems yet to vibrate beneath the strokes of his deep tones and his weighty words. On the outer circle, sat Henry Clay, with his impetuous and ardent nature un tamed by age, and exhibiting in the Senate the same vehement patriotism and passion ate eloquence that, of yore, electrified the House of Representatives and the country. His extraordinary personal endowments, his courage, his talents, all his noble qualities, invested him with an individu ality and a charm of character which, in any age, would have made him a favorite of history. He loved his country above all earthly objects. He loved liberty in all countries. Illustrious man ! —orator, pa triot, philanthropist—whose light, at its meridian, was seen and felt in the remotest part of the civilized world ; and yhose de clining sun, as it hastened down the West, threw back its level beams in hues of mel low splendor to illuminate and to cheer the land he loved and served so well. All the States may point with gratified pride to the services in the Senate of their patriotic sons. Crowding the memory oome the names of Adams, Hayne, Mason, Otis, Macon, Pinckney, and the rest —I cannot number them—who, in the record of their acts and utterances, appeal to their successors to give the Union a destiny not unworthy of the past. What models were these to awaken emulation, or to plunge in despair ! Fortunate will be the Ameri can statesman who, in this age, or in suc ceeding times, shall contribute to invest the new hall to which we go with historio memories like those which cluster here. And now, Senators, we leave this mem orable chamber, bearing with us, unim paired, the Constitution we received from our forefathers. Let us cherish it with grateful acknowledgment to the Divine Power, who controls the destinies of em pires, and whose goodness we adore. The structures reared by-men, yield to the cor roding tooth of time. These marble walls must moulder with ruin ; but the principles of constitutional liberty, guarded by wisdom and virtue, unlike material ele ments, do not decay. Let us devoutly trust that another Senate, in another age, shall bear to a new and larger chamber this Constitution, vigorous and inviolate— and that the last generation of posterity shall witness the deliberations of the rep resentatives of American States still uni ted, prosperous and free. A GOOD JOKE. We were told a few days ago, a' good joke on a young man not a thousand miles from oounty, which, as we have not seen it in print, we consider worth relating- The circumstance happened some time ago, but will lose nothing by its age. It was told by one who knew, and said it was all true : A certain young man in search of a wife, being on a courting expedition, as is customary with young men, came late on Sunday evening, and in order to keep his seoret from his young acquaintances, determined to be at home on Monday morning, bright and early, so that his absence would not be noticed. But his affiancied lived several miles from the town in whioh he sojourned; and so, to overoome the distance, he required the use of a horse. Mounted on his horse, dressed in his fine snmmer pants, and other fixings in propor tion, he arrives at the residence of his namorata, where he. is kindly received, and his horse properly taken care of, by being turned into the pasture for the night. The evening—yea, the night— passed away, but how, is nobody’s business. Three o’clock in the morning arrives. Our hero was awake—may be had been so all night, but it matters not—three o’clock is the time for him to depart, so that he he may arrive at home before his comrades were stirring. Not wishing to disturb the family of his lady-love, who were then wrapt in the arms of Morpheus, he sallied forth into the pasture - to catch his horse, but there was a difficulty—the grass was so high and loaded with dew. To venture in there with his white panta loons would rather take the starch out of them and lead to detection—so he quickly made a resolve. It was three o’clock in the morning and nobody stirring, so he carefully disrobes himself of his “ white,” and places them in safety on a fence, while he gives chase with unscreened pedals through the wet grass after the horse. But the steed was fond of clover, aDd had no notion of leaving it. But our hero was not to be thwarted, although he began to realize the truth of the old adage about the course of true love, &c., and finally the horse was captured. Returning to the fenoe where he had safely suspended his lily white unmen tionables, oh ! mirabile didu! IV hat a horrid sight met his eyes! The field into which his horse had been turned not only a horse pasture, but a calf pasture too, and the naughty calves, attracted by the white flag on the fenoe, had almost eaten them up; only a few well chewed fragments of this once valuable article of his wardrobe now remained —only a few threads—-just sufficient- to indicate ‘what they had once been. What a pickle this was for a nice young man to be in! It was now daylight, and the industri ous farmers were up and about, and our hero far from home, with no covering for his ‘ travelling apparatus.’ It would not do to go back to the house of his lady-love, as they were now up, and how could he get in without exhibiting himself to his fair one, which might ruin his match 1— No, no, that would not do. Neither could he go to town in that plight. There was only one resource left him, and that was to secrete himself in the bushes till the next night and then get home under cover of darkness. This he resolved to do, and ac cordingly hid himself under a thick growth of bushes. Safely hid, he remained under the pro tection of the bushes for some time ; and it may be imagined that his feelings to wards the calf kind were not of the most friendly character, but ere long his seclu sion was destined to be intruded upon The family of the fair one, seeing his horse still remaining in the pasture, inquired of the lady what she had done with her lover. She was non-plussed. She only knew he had left about three o’clock in the morn ing. Things didn’t look right, if he had g%ne, why did he leave his horse 1 Sus picions were awakened. By and by, the boy who had been out to feed the calves, returned with the remnants of the identi cal white garments which adorned the lower limbs of their late visitor. They were mangled and torn to threads An inquest was immediately held over them. The neighbors were summoned to search for his corpse, and the posse with all speed set out with dogs and arms to the search. The pasture was thoroughly scoured, and then the adjacent thickets, when, lo ! our hero was driven from his lair by the keen scent of the dogs, all safe, alive and well, but minus the linen. An explanation then ensued »t the expense of onr hero, but he was successful in the end, and married the lady, and is now living comfortably in one of the little towns of lowa. CARDS. WT.
