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.

of all iu our own language and a tew of those of the conti
nent of Europe. The best and largest of these surpass this
of Appleton’s in the extent to which they carry out special
dissertations But this Cyclopaedia is full of the best mat
ter. By skillful selection and compression, and sedulous
avoidance of mere show and verbiage, room Is found for an
immense am unt of tbe latest informaliou, put forth clear
ly. carefully and accurately The book embodies, and ade
quately represents, the ability nud knowledge available at
