That we may in thy statutes tread,
And be our debts : forgiv'n
Ati we fiirgiie our fellow men k
The debts that we might claim of4hem ;
And guide ue safe to heav'n
Let not temptation Sit II: ariare
That we can't overcome by pray'r,
From evil make us free—
The Kingdom, Power, and . Glory, then,
Ale thine—for which we say, Amen,

I Have no Mother Apse..
ST C. R. CRISWELL.
I hear the soft winds sighing,
Through every bitsh and tree,
Where now dear Mother's lying,
Away froqlo4 and me.
Tears Train 14'eyes are starting,
And Sorrot7)Atades tur brow;
Oh, weary was our parting--
I uo mother no
I seethe pale moon shining
On mother's white head-stone;
Tk2, rose bush round'it twining,
here, like me- 7 -alune. . • ,
And just like me are weening
Those dew-drops from the bough;
Long time has she been sleeping—
I have no mother noir,
My heart is very lonely, • •
My life is dreur and stud;
'Twas her dear presence only
That made my spirit glad.
From morning until eve,
Care rests upon my brow;
She's gone from me to heaven—
I have no mothezknow

A CARD.
On the morning of last Saturday,' the
following letter et my request was placed
in the . bsnde of the Hon. S. A. Dout,las,
United States Sonstor from ILliooia :
AVishiNororr, D. April 18,1856:
SIR :—One day last Week 1 placed in the
hands of Gen. Case, with a request to lay
it, before the Senate, the memorial of the
GeneralAssonaby of Kansas, praying for
her admission into the Union. us a sover
eign State. I gave that direction to the
memorial from the fact that the Conseil.
non which ,framed. the Constitution of
Kanias, with,great unanimity, had before
selected Gen. .Cass as the medium by
which to
.present the Constitution to the
Senate, deeming him r on recount of his
I seuiorityr the' meet proper person to intro
duce into the Union the now applicant.
On Thursday of that week the nutitneri
al was the sUbjectof severe criticism, and
to tionnection with it charges • of the, 'most
gravo•ehttructer,were preferred againstme:
On Monday laid, in npaper read in your

To Hon, Stephen d. Dough of Wathington
City, D. C.
• Senator Douglas asked Orlin one o'clock
to reply, which was granted. !He then
asked until 4 o'clock, nod t afterwards until
Monday inotuilk These• requests were
hailed as mauifeitatione of a manly pur
port) to do me justice,' and wore cheerfully
granted. Mr. Douglas and myself bad
long been personal and political friends,—
The recent , stirring mete in Kansas, and
my conneetfon with them, were familiar to
him. If, bet itme in conscience I had felt
moved to advocate the cause of Kansas,
Iwith every civil right trodden under foot
by foreign invaders, while he with, father
ly love, and perhaps equal conscience, was
cherishing Kansas as 6ho is—a child of
his own begetting—a doubt had arisen in
my mind respecting our future relations, it
was banished on my-ooming to Washing-
I ton. ,The Senator met me with great cor
diality; he advertised me of his panicular
regard, and pleasantly upbraided me for I
not giving him an opportunity to welcome
me at his house. ~ I became .his' invited
guest, and comm unicated with him in hon
est'friendship:

in the Senate chamber, where.all hia deeds, 1
by . his constitutional oath; ought, to be I
bound in-truth and honor, I, found him
breaking open and parading the private'
conversation of an
~ invited friend; whiob
occurred in his own house, as a resident
burglar would break open the chest of a
betrayed guest ; when the 'conversation
was related in Snell a tortured and rnis.
shappen manner that ii ceased to be truth
and
,bectime falsehood ; when, to , damage
the &ruse of an' honest and accused, but
brave and.hopeful people, he struck liii
blow through , mm. their representative,
with a vulgar atrocity of inanner which

fustice in , civil language, without offence.
and. with only so much earnestness as he;
came an indignant and injured man. On '
31ontlay morning Senator. Douglas ad
dressed an elaborate letter to my friend,
repeating the charge in the most brutal
language and declining to communicate
with me. as I learned, for, the following
reasons; if he had othera'persoual to him

position, 'rho venerable Senator exclaim
ed;i,l ask no exemption on account , of my
age': no privilege from my Posilina; NO,

yields to no such '

folloWs no such vain example. Like ia. 0,

which excludes the idea of wanton and

teat the Senator, in the expectation. that
his duty and justice would protect all eth
ers. But it is within the Senator's dime
' tin, (Dot only that otliscretion" which "is
the better , part of valor,") to assert his le
gal exemption; as ha might also plead the
statute of limitations against a confiding
creditor and an honest debt. He has done
so, claiming Shylock'd• virtue, that "it is
the law." Sathly sheltt3red and hidden be
hind this constitutional privilege; which ex

Senator Douglas now compels me to the
unpleasant alternative of protesting,'tiefore

perpetrated where my voice was then silent,
and which he technically declines to re
