The opening of theSpring, to which the niindausually nataches~none but' the -most cheering' associations,-has this year been imarked 'byitivient has obscured its bright lfisdsiae season -of hope-andof .imournfully memorable among us.: A genialgloom has for several days settled over the city,. suspending-'the bustle of life, clothing all countenances with sad ness an'd filling every mind with solemn thesings. --~ The first-hourrafter the appalling catas trophe of Wednesday last were marked, as might be expected, by" high excitement. Astonishment, and -a -feeling -of-dismay,: mingled with intense and painful curiosity, seized upon the entire community. All tongues were busy -in-pressing, or-answer ing, inquiries.- Sympathy with theberea ved, lamentations: over- the public loss, wonder at the 'astounding - dispensation of. Providence, and speculations as to- the consequences, seem to absorb- all -minds, and, for the time to supercede all other thoughts. - The next day crowds -poured down to the wharf where the bodies were expected to be landled, and. though long disappoint ed, continued to wait, hour after hour, till at-length the minute guns front below an uounced the departure of the coffins from on board the Steatner, and the commence ment of their melancholy route up to the city. As the boat' which bore them ap proached her lauding place, the surround ig- shore., were covered with spectators. while a long line of carriages stood waiting to follow in the train which bore the re mains of the dead. Six hearses, in horrid comtiguity, stood side. by side, and re ceived in succession their sad freight, as their coffins, borne by Seamen and follow ed - each by an--escort of Naval Officers, ,were brought-along through a lane of sym pathizing citizens, -who opened to the right and left to let them- pass. More -than-sixty carriages followed to the President's- man- - sion, whither the:dead were carried by- the President's particular desire, and deposited in- the -East Room.- .Yes, in that .vast apartment, so -often -the scene of brilliant festivity-so often echoing" the sttain of joyous music and the mingled voices of the gay--now converted, by the,..aet : of God, into a sepulchral 'chamber,cold and silent as the grave. Here-they were :visi- - ted during the whole of Friday.:bv nu merous groups, moved by the irresistible feelings -which, draevs us to-:.epectaclesof terror and grief.- -The:.upper parts-of-the comins were-open,-the-countenances of the dead, (with but one -exception,) being ex posed to the public view, covered, however, with plates of. glass. . Saturday was-fixed-upon for they funeral ceremonies,- which were, conducted with appropriate order and-solemnity.- The as- - pect of the Peansylvabia avenue forcibly: called up . the remembrance of the scene when Gen. Harrison's lamiented honored corpse was borne along it to-the tome. Al though the chief market day, and the bus iest day of the week with all classes of ven drs, the~bustle of businessewas hushed at an early hour. the btreets were silent though. full of moving masses, the stores and places f busiuess being universally closed, gud many of them hung with -the drapery of mouring; Nothwithstanding that thous ands from other cities and from the country were aidded to the thousands of the metrop olis, to witness the solemn rites and funeralI pompof the occasion, yet the order and de coum which reigned throughout were not less gratifying thn the entire exemption of the day from the slightest accident. The expectation of the people now, as at the Funeral of Gen. H arrison, thronged the avenue with waiting multidudes hours before the procession made its appearance. The perfect silence observed in the gather ed throngs, and the clouded gloom of the sky, sensibly deepened the solemnity ofthe scene. At the Presidential Mansion, the Officers of Government, civil, military, and naval, the Foreign' Ministers, Members-of Con gress, of both Houses, and relaties and personal. friends of the deceased, had theI entre at an early hour.. Before the bodies were removed by the Rev. Mr. -Hawley, the Rev. Dr Laurie, and the Rev. Mr. Btler, of Georgetown. - The procession was -then formed, and presented an imposing coup d aik the fu neral escort' (composed of-United States troops and volunteers in their beautiful uni forms] heading the column. - - Then-in the order annonnced in our last, came. the bodies, each in its own hearse, 1 accompanied by carriages containing-the pall bearers, and others, filled with the mourning relatives of each sad victimn; next I the President's 'ecarriage, shrouded in mourning, and then a long train of officiali persons, heads of Departments, Senators I and Representatives in' Congress, Judges,< Comptrolers, Auditors, &c.,- togeth~er with the members of several civic societies. [ The body of Mr. -Maxcy was notlamonig 'i them, the family having already conveyed it for the sepulture to-his home in Mary-, land.) While this sad array was moving slow ly on. minute gunswere fired and the' bells 1 toled at measured intervals. n this manner-thehodieswere, borne to Congressional burying ground,,where the < military halted and, forming in a:liniemO I fronto( the gate,. eceived the hearses with I military -honorsiand funeral dirges. After] the coffins were taken from the hearses and 4 plaed in charge -ofithe. pall-bearers, the civic procession entered the graveyard and I religious services again took place upon depositing the. coffinsi in-the large recei- I ving vault, where they will for the present I remain, 'awaiting their final disposal, as shall hereafter be deternined. -' 4 -The ~funeral solemnities on this sad oc asion were-sich asrefiectod the public l feeling throughout'the-istiotal metropolis, I and- were extiyemely creditable to its citi ..s.T t-wa nerved that not only were1 the offices and stores cloined during the time. iflldefunerat,9-but diiiinltireremainder of the day.

We cannot close this statement of public solemnities of the day without noticing, what struck us with. peculiar.effect, the ap pearance in the mournful line of the honest and respectable body of Mechanics attach Bd to. and residing near the Navy Yard, who. spontaneously came' forward to ren ler the last tribute of respect' to the memo ry of their'beloved ex-Commandant Ke non, who is numbered with-the unfortunate and illustrious slain. General Jackson.-It will gratify the American people to learn with what sensi bility the venerable patriot of the Hermi tage has received the last tender of their affection and approbation through the late rote. e. Congress. The reversal, by the representatives of the States and, the peo ple, passed .on Judge Hall's judgment, oademning the General as -a. vialator of the laws and constitution at New. Orleans, has given more heartfelt gratification to the closing hours of the retired chief and statesman, who, shedding his stripling blood in the revolution, has given his whole life to crown it with success and glory, tan all the honors that attended his illus trious career. In a'letter just received iL his city he says: "1 feel truly grateful to be people as well as to Congress for this act.of justice to ine in my declining years. In a later letter of the 24th of February, miter the fical vote in the Senate, in reply to a letter informing him of it, he says : ,The evening before I had received from any friend, Mr. Slidell, a note enclosing he vote on the odious amendment offered >y Mr. Berrien, I have also received from ny friend, Mr. Walker, a letter enclosing he result. Please, as I cannot write to hem, present my kind thanks to Mr. Sli lell and Mr. Weller for this evidence of heir continued kind remembrance of me. y gratitude is due to all my democratie renda for their unsolicited efforts to have ustice done to my fame before I am called tence; and to none more than to my friend dr. Ingersoll, to whom I intended to write ny acknowledgments; but writing so much Appresses me that I have to request you to ay to him how much I feel for his effort n my behalf. The learning displayed in us pamphlet oD contempts and law martial ill render it a text-book on these subjects or all time to come." The circunlstances which induced the ~eeral to hasten to express the sense of bligation which he entertains for the act f this Congress in his behalf, and which o greatly enhances the obligation in his mind, will he found in the closing sentence fthis letter: "If I am to judge from my present af icion, I cannot be here at the next Con ress. I must, long before, be in the tomb repared for me; but I am in the hands of just and wise Providence. When he akes the call, I am prepared, with due umility, to submit to his will. He has ang spared me through a long and varie ated life. How much longer I am to be oer, He know., and only He." From tks'Hount Vernon, (0.) Banner. THE~ CONTRA ST. "I WILL NOT VIOLATE THE SABBATH." A few years sicce, Andrew Jackson "i ited. tie city of New Orleans, at the invi tion of the people of that city in order to 1 present atthe laying of the foundation tone, of thie monument erected to comme norate the glorious victory he had achiev.' d. He wras~received with every demon tr ation of joy and 'gratitude. A committee was apjinlted to wait on him, and inform tim thatSunday had been chosen as the lay to lay the foundation stone of the nonument, and the troops of the city would scort him to the ground with military onors. The Old Hero sternly replied 'ziil not niolate the Sabbath." The ontmittee remonstrated, they spoke of its aing been the custom of the city to have eir military, displays on Sunjlay;; all ould not do-the old veteran again re ,lied,-", soUL not uiolate the Sabbath," d the committee yielding to his never ne for his Maker, postponed the day. Jompare this conduct with that of hienry ~lay, on his late political tour through ousiana. He was received in N. Orleans n the Sabbath day, by the millitary, with launting banners, sounding trumpets and eating drums; and in this style, during the essin of church, 'he was paraded through he streets of this great city. Nor is this ll. Not. satisfied with desecrating the abbath, by his vain display, Henry Clay scoted by the military, marched past the hurches while: engaged ijl worship and teptup such a continued clamor by the eating of drums, shtunding trumpets and irie shouting of the multitude, (that one of e.

T Prom the Southera Patriot. OREGON. It has been well asked what political or commercial object will be gamned to the United States, from the acquisition, of Or egon,suppohingit was entirelysturre'dered by the British Government ? It woild .be difficult to answer this question. A:Wa torn member of Congress might repiy, the as our ancestors have- established a' Re publican frame of polity on the Alanti it is incumbent on their descendants to es iablish Democracyon -the:Pacific, with?! view to a political balance. Itis only n'e cessary to extend so comprehensive asur vey of the dities of Republicans, by em bracing-Texas and Mexico, thus sweeping in political vision the whole NorthAmer can Contiset, and forming clusters of Re publics throdghout its entire extent Thi is a magnificent abstractioni. But there is nothing too sublime for the Republicanis of our dasy.. It would, however, be. a curious result to behold-the Representatives of tile State of Oregon participating in acts of legisla tion, the knowledge of which would,- per haps, reach their constituents by the time that Congress would again assemble-at the. Constitutional. period It might be that a passage into the Atlantic, round Cape Horn, would so lessenthe 'geogra phical space between-this anticipated land of republicanism and the political centreof the Union, as to render it a consideration of economy in a question of mileage.. At all events, if Oregon is ever-brought into our Sisterhood of States, the centre must be brought nearer than it now is to. this new portion of the Republican circianfer. cence-this remote extremity of our pros pe~tive Union, and the Seat of Govern meat removed to a convenient travelling distance for the Oregon Senators and Re presentatives. More Panaticsm.-We learn from an exchange paper, that a public meeting of the citizens of Pittsburg Pa, was held last week for the 'purpose of interposing to save the life of a young man sentenced to death in North Carolina, for abetting in the es cape of a slave to run away. Resolutions were introduced denunciatory of the insti tutions of slavery, and the Judge, Jury and laws, under which the offender has been sentenced. This is the way they interpos ed, raving against the latos of the country, and denouncing those who are sworn to administer those laws with fidelity. In Congress and out of Congress, there is a fiend like spirit abroad against our institu tions; a spirit which springs not from any benevolent desire, or wish to ameliorate the condition or that people to whom God in his providence, has allotted -a servile condition, but from a deep and deadly ha tred to the South, and the prosperity to which God bath blessed her, and besides, this a burning anxiety to sweep away all distinctions in society, save that* which would be begotten, -by wealth, and family -a noble aristocracy, which result would sooner or later follow the entire abolition of slavery in our country.-Crnien Jour.' " Good old Camdenw"-We copy from he report of Dr. Capers, the correspond ing missionary ecretary of'the'M. E.
