WE WILL REMEMBER THEE.
TO MISS C. H. WATERMA N.
We will - remember thee.
Our long tried, faithful friend tho' far away,
I or thy sweet voice:singing thy fav`rite g've,
Is present night and day.
When in lone eening hours
We're gather'd round tho hearth, where stand the
scat
By us called thine; whence thy colloquial pow'rs
Our plea,sur'd ears did greet.
Anon we'bend the ear
As the child Nast is burying nlong;
On its wild wings soft melody wo hear
And fancy 'tis the song.
Which, in sweet melody,
We've oft pour'd forth, glud'ning each other's
heart;
Now sorrowing exclaim—'Can these things be?"
Why did we eter port
Yet such things are,
While the low murmurs linger on the hlnst,
Fancy believes thee here, our ev'ning star—
() ! may this fancy last.
'Tia thou return'st again
To those sweet plants and flow'ra, wo uso'd to
prize;
And when the Robin and the bluebird's strain
In harmony shall rise.
Olt ! may the angry storm,
Whose &sty pathway we have often trod,
Ne'er cross thy youthful steps, nor chill the form
Devoted to its God.
May the clear, balmy breath
Of now•-burn Spring, play round thy vouthfu
charms;
When wintry blasts are hus'd, as 'twcre in death
Return thou to our arms.
'Till then we'll think of thee,
While gathered round the hearth in solemn prayer
Our voice to heaven shall rise, from bonded knee,
And fancy thou art there.
With heart and thoughts and voice
Mingling with ours—should wo not meet mein
Around our friendly heorth—in Heaven will we
rejoice
In holier, purer strain

THE OLD GENTLEMAN.
BY LEITCH -lIITCHIE.
'Go on with 3 our story, sir,' said the
young lady, interrupting me; hate mys•
ticism.'
'Alas; do ycu forget that I am talking of
the love of seventeen? However, when I
reached the bridge, the ilea all of a sudden,
occurred to me ol• the chi-gentleman ; and I
started with emotion as the thought flashed
across my mind, that lie was in all probe.
bility the father of Miss Montgomery ! But
when I came to calculate age, I found, that
ilany at all, he was more likely to be her
grandfather. You. may think it odd that
this personage had taken so fast a hold
my imagination; but the fact is, I was sus•
ceptible in more senses that young ladies
give to the word. At any rate, at that
moment—beginning to ascend the arch of
the bridge—lTlV fancy conjured up the state.
ly phantom, and I amused myself once more
with looking at the cocked hut, and the
white horse.
'But it was easier to summon the ghost
than to lay it. The figure of man and steed
grew more and more subs'ani ial as I gazed;
and at length, with a thrill almost of super
stitious feeling, I became sensible of the
fact, that the old gentleman was actually
riding up the opposife side of the arch.
His horse was in the middle of the cause.
way, and out of involuntary respect I moved
mine to the left, otherwise we should have
mot. Whether it was his desire to do so or
not, I cannot say ; but he certainly recog-
nized me as an old acquaintance, nodding
his head, end waving his whip hand, with
un expression in his eye of good humoured
familiarity, mingled with the same signifi
cance I had observed five years before, as if
there existed between us some secret con•
nexion. I pulled off my hat in bashful con
fusion ; and, without turning my head coin
pletely round, I could observe that lie look•
ed after me more than once, continuing to
nod and smile. At length, however, the
bridge was between us, and the lofty arch
concealed him from my view.
'Like all persons constituted as I was in
those days, I was wonderfully brave when
the occasion was past. I reproached my
self bitterly for not replying to the familiar
gestures of the old gentleman, and inducing
him to accost me. A Lundred amcdotes
occurred to my memory of the fortunes of
young men being made by the capricious
liking of some wealthy senior; and this old
gentleman—who had the air of being land
' lord of the whole domain—had certainly
taken a fancy to me." I spurred my horse
tip an acclivity by the read-side, and looked
back ; but the object of my ine:initions was
already out of sight. I inquired about him
in vain as I passed throu g h the t own .
Some hal seen one old gentlemen, some
aunt her, and some none at all; but notwith•
standing all my cross questioning, I could
obtain no clue whatever to the old gen
tleman.' •

oaks.; ri great deal to disabuse the fancy of
a youth of seventeen ; and there was noth
ing in Martini Montgomery to give a very
violent shock to any of my preconceived
notions. Her features wore handsome, her
complexion more fitir than pale, her hair
between 11,xen and auburn; she sang bal
lads, played the Battle of Plague, rend nov

What more could I have desired? Did it
require a very potent enchan'ment to make
me take this country gill for my Dirk-Mee ?
`Still, there was a certain awkwardness
in our n.eeting. Marion had been so long
the companion of my imagination, that I
fancied myself an old acquaintance. I
thought she would recognise me. I ex
pected conscious looks, and shakings of the
hand; and when, instead, 1 saw the grace
lul girl fall hack, rather than advance, as
she curteised to toy introductory bow, and
draw up her stately neck, and drop her
sweet, soft eyelids, I was contliunded, nay
over-awed. How terrible is a well bred
young woman of seventeen to a great boy
of that age 1 My heart sank as I looked at
her ; my hopes died away ; I was amazed
at my presumption; nod, if a proper excuse
could have been found, 1 verily b. Iteve I

'The next morning, before joining the
family at breakfast, I wrote sonic verses,
which wore given to her the same day by
her brother.
'They were strong enough for a begin

assured that they were actually in her

and the next in a cold sweat. I took good
care to keep out of hi r way that day ;
which I managed by persuading her broth•

He praised the verses warmly; assured me
that they would Ws ke an impression ; and
even declared his conviction that Marion

`For my part,' said he, have taken
care not to hint a word of the mutter to her.
Interfl.rence on these occasions is always in
'udictous. You know that a young lady
never accepts willingly the husband provi•
vied by her father, or guardian; and were
I, her brother, to assume any such official
character, it would spoil ull.' You see we
were very cunning.
'lt was late in the evening before we re.
turned ; and, my feelings being toned down
by bodily fatigue, I entered the drawing

'Without seeing the old gentleman?' said
the young lady.
•Pshaw ! I had n o time for old gentlemen.
I saw nothing of him, but rode straight

'And is that all?'

'Never! never•!'

SA M L. A. PURVIANCE,
13 M. H NCH MA N,
Committee on huhull of the member:.
who elected T. S. Cunning,hain their
Speaker.
It will be seen from this proposal, that
the Democrats have offered to .the Luco
horns, the most liberal terms of areomma
dation, which they can refuse only from a
spirit, of ohstinney, or from a desire to
avoid an invertigation into the frauds which
ate alleged to have taken place ut the elce
lion in the county of Philadelphia. These
terms, if accepted. would give them all
tbe officers of the House, and a cootru/
ling Majority, until the contested seats
were determined• It would, also cure the
defect in the organization of the House
under Ntr. Hopkins. Having organized un
constitutionally, any act which they may
assume to do as a House of Representatives
is neccessarily void.
Previous to the meeting of the Legislat
ure, it was repeatedly said that the mein•
bers elect, now acting with Mr. Hopkins,
intended organizing their House by force,
if possible, and thus not only avoid an in
vestigation of the fraudulent election in
the county of Philadelphia, but t;liso ensure
an election of a United States Senator
against the expressed voice and wishes of
the people, of the state. Ten Judges in
Philadelphia, with Chas. J. Ingersoll at

HARRISBURG, December 2G, 1833
GENTLY:III'Y \COI3 C:1 SSATT, Esq. the
>.enutur from your District, was this morning
found dead in Iris bed ti He had complained of
nn disease, and went to bed in his usual health.
He appears to have died without a struggle. Yes_
Malay he took part in the debate on the treasona
(do resolution of submitting to the mob, by recog
sizing the Hopkins House. He opposed it in a
must excellent speech, characterized by sound
sense, ardent patriotism, and a deep sense of its
vast imp .rtrince. A more solemn and affecting
appeal to the honor, the patriotism, and the Fell.
gion of his associates, has seldom been heard.—
But all his virtuous efforts were in vain. The fa
tal deed had been cautiously but securely plotted.
It was done; and the shock which shattered our
free institutions, rick deep into the heart i f this
unshaken Patriot. He saw, and felt intensely for
the future ronsequences of this blighting resole
tion.
.Altheugh in his usual health he complain
ed in the evening that the proceedings of the
senate had made him sick at heart. He fell its
victim. He literally died of a broken heart. He
is a great loss to his constituents; to the Stets
to the cause of Liberty. 11 in nets were all guided
by rbrbbian purity and Doman firmness. Happy
will it be for the Architects of the ruin of that di:_
asterous day if they have brought no greater cal
amity upon our country than the death of this up
right man !
To 'I): y Coensiitageseds.
FELLOW CITIZENS :
The didioulties Which have been
thrown in our way in organid.ing the Legis•
home, and in transacting its ordinary busi•
[less. you have already been made acquaint.
o I with. An armed mob, headed by men
of desperate principles, and for tunes, drove
the Senate and House of Representatives
from the Capitol, and required them ro or
ganize the several branches ni th e Le g i s i a .
lure in the mode which they dictated. That
mode was contrary to the Constitution and
the Lards; and this the first attempt in
Republican A merice, to prescribe the course
an d enforce, either legitimate or illegi : i ma te
legislative action, by hired assas.ins, and
murderous weapons. Fifty•two members
of the House of Representatives and liven
tv•one Senators solemnly resolved never to
Yield to it. The insurgents proceeded en
their organization with a reckless audacity,
which to al IFISIa Ild, required the fir in hearts
of patriots fully conseious of the 'melt re
sponsihility which circumstances had east
upon there—a responsibility which looked
to no local interest however rice r—t.o no tern.
pantry right however importam—but to the
interests of a nation and of the civilized
world, cud to_the rights of posterity. Cer
min members oldie Senate became alarm
ed, and nfter having organized their body
upon precisely the same principles that we
'did ours, hesitated for two -weeks to ac•
knowledge the legitimacy of the House of
It epresentativea. During that time treach•
cry or fear, deprived us of three of our
members without changing our censtitu
tional or legal position. The Senate then
(alter those members had been sworn into
the Hkripkin's A SNOC intion,) summoned cou
rage enough on the 20th Dec. to pass the
following resolution :
"Resolved, That the body claiming to he
the House of Representatives, as organized
on die 4th inst. by the election of William
Hopkins, Esq. as Speaker, was not constuu
led a House of Representatives, according
to the Constitution and Laws of I ilib Corn.
monwealth."
The body of men thus declared Hiegel
and unconstitutional, then enacted another
scene of their drama of intimidation, and
passed a resolution intimating their deter
mination to assume the reins;id reorganize
the government. Several Senators, tither
ing before, have deemed it their duty to
yield, and exhibited the spectacle of the
Semite of Pennsylvania, purchasing their
peace by yieldiug to the domands of lawless
violence; deserting those who were associat
ed iv:th them in defending what, in their
resolute moments, they declared, to 1)0 the,
vital interests of Constitutional Liberty ;
,mil thus reducing the House of Represen
tatiVo3 to the humiliation of deserting eight
of their members regularly acknowledged,
and sworn in, and
_of entering and riming
with a body forced upon them by a mob, and
declared illegal ; or, of withdrawing from
the. Legislature and sacrificing the tempo
rary, to the paramount interests of their Cm
stituents.
On 'the 25th of December, the Senate
passed the following resolution by ii majort•
ty of one vote, Messrs. Strohm, Case, Ful.
lertun, Michler, Miller (of the city) and Mc-
Conkey, voting with the opposition; Mr. I
Pearson and Mr. Ewing ham , ' previously
voted against recognizing the legal 1 - louse,
on Mr. Cassatt's amendment:
"W UEIIEAS, dillioulties have arisen in the
organization of the house of Representativ •
es, and two bodies haveifor sonic time been ,
in existence, each claiming to be the regu
larly constituted House of Representatives
of Pennsylvania, hut neither having had a
emistitutional quorum of Members whose
seats were undisputed, uud neither has yet
been lolly recognized by the Semite.
"And, Whereas, the House organized by
the election of Wm. HOpkillS as Speaker,
is now composed ont constiiutioual quorum
of legally returned Mern.berei, and being thus
brought within the pale of the Constitution,
I he Senate outtlll no longer refuse to re•
rognizo the sAid Hotise, as the properly con
stitun:ii House of Representatives,
'I herefore,
"Resolved, that a Committee be appointed
to Kuria said House. that the Sonitie is uow ,
organized mid ready to proceed to business,
and that the resolution passed on the
inst. appointing a committee to wait on the
(louse of Representatives, is hereby rescind
and that the said Committee ts' ant:
lie;'eltv is discharged."
Unwilling to forgo the advann o w s ; of
cal legit:lllton, nod dispairini, of tobtainto : :
justice for their constituents without their '
personal attendance, many , perhaps most of
mv ... „tho:• elates have determined to sehroit 1
the mortif Mg necessity, and enter •he ille
gal House. With their course I find no
fault. But I believe you will prefer the
permanent interests of our whole e ono ry to
your own to optintry local benefit. That
interest —the liberty of yourselves and ill
your posterity, I believe can be preserved
only by reftising to yield any thing, to (. w .
