Tis tine, in this dark world of griefand woe Sins direful train we meet, wher'er we go , Tis true the heart is of ande siek by sin, And finds no place to fold her weary wing. 'Tis true discord and strife, will fill the earth, With an unhallowed train ofjoyless mirth, And laughter-shriekmng-frantic. leads along, Her sinful train,the gay and th'onghtless throng' Who qnaffthe dregs of death, from the allur ing cup, Leaving the seet,-tt.e bitter dranghts drink up; And thus movelon-move on in lawless might, Down to the shades of au eternal night. in this fierce turmoil, never cani we find, Peace to the heart, and rest to tit' weary mind ; And if in these, for calm repose we seek, 'Tis but for health's bright use on death's pale cheek.. And is there still no peace to the weary so:al, No calm retreat where sorrows cease to crabl? And is there yet no balm which can impact Peace to the weary, wounded, troubled heart; No place, where she can fold her weary wing, And cease from the distraicting cares of sin ? Yes, yes, there is a place, a culmi retreat, 'Tis found. where bowed before the mercy seat; "tie here that God a healing balm imparts; 'Tt, -c he heals. and calms our wounded hearts, Tis here we gird our heavenly armour on ; Tis here we learu how victory may be won; 'Tis here we'cr otien made to smile in tears, Made to rejoice, mit spite of all our lears; Tis here the saints of every cli:ne may meet, And bow before one comniin Mercy Seat.

MISCELL4% EOUS. Mr. Yancey's remarks upon the Bill to incoporale lhe .-Imerican and German 'T'rading and Insuraance Company. "The objects of the Bill were o open and enc-uonrsee i direct Crude between the Republic of [lanhurg.Germany, Prussia. Sweden, and such ounitrie, as could he enlisted itn the enterprise, and llanhurg, So. Ca., throngh the port of Charl"ston. The enterprise, if it could he carried out. would redound greatly to the interest of the State at large. All the manufactured ar:icles of those coutries, to wit, of hemp cotton, and Swedish iron, would be im ported in the vessels of the company di rectly to Charleston and Hamburg, for ihte cosumptionr of our citizens, andi~ be paid or 'by our cotton aitd rice. It would cer tainly be a reciprocal hentefit to us and to thotse countries, its the mnuofact urers of cotton, to buty it dlirecil y front us; more beneficial as ihey tnow dui. chiefly through the .port of Liverpool. This direct trade atnd ha-ter for, our rice woutld the more speedily introduce ris:e int those countries as an article of more general diet. And as you extend the consnmption of rice, you enhance its vatlue, as its production mnist necessarily be limited, frown the very small quantity of lands suitable for its cultivation; and as you enhance its value, you enhlanice the valite of the rice lands. litna commercial point of view, then, the Bill addiressed itself to thte inte rcst of Charleston, as the commoercial mar'. through which this trade was to be eirec ted, aunsi of the rice plantters and the State at large. But there was another inicident to the successful prosecution of the enter prise proposed by th- Bill, which wvoutld be ofrgreatbeneit tothte State. it would tend to direct the Germani emigt ation to South Carolina. 1' wasg designed, as the title of the Bill indicated, to have a simi lar act passed in the Reputtdic of llatmburg Germany, and to enlisi f(greign capital in the enterprise. Foreign -'Vapital would thus lie introdneced amiong us. The inecjease of capital amotng us would surely izrarease the facilities andi amount tof trade. ,.The foreignt stockholders would 4pla.e their bwn hatkers here to join in the supervision of the business. The Germat .emigrants would naturally seek transportation in vessils of a company in wvhich their own country were interested. T1hus would be landed first upon our own soil ailarge pro. portion of this emigration, and there would be first presented to them iniducements t( locate in our St ate. Any one whto would cast his eyes over our Stase, would dis cover a vast quantity of land which had Syet to be brought .into cultivation. Then Itreangth of' ari Sacnnectar not in a fey wealthy cit izens, but in the interrity, the honesty and the industry, and the number of its popu ation. And if the successful prosecution of this enterprise would inci dentally tend to introduce to the cllivaiion of our now Iarren wastes, adtbersof the German emigrants, it was 'asstiredly the wise policy of the State to encoura'ge it; for no population on earth possessed the characteristics of honesty and industry in a more eminent degree than the German people. But the Bill is attacked, likewise, upon the ground, that it contains dangerous and monstrous provisions. A charter already exists, granted to the company in.1835, to cover a priod of 14 years: this Bill asks an extension of that charter, which was then sanctioned by the Legislative, wisclon and supposed policy of the State, and asks further for certain amendtments; the want of which has. hitherto. in part prevented the prosecution of the. enter prise. No tmaney from the Treasury is asked: no peculiarly exclusive privileges are sought. The second section gives the power to deal in Foreign Bills of Ex change, and receive money on deposite, paying interest thereon. It is now the common law right of the individual, may not be the right of a corporate body; it asks fur the coinpany only a declaration, in their behalf, of the common law right of every person. The exercise of this right is necessary to give vitality to the trading con pany, to carry on tie.operu tions and ,ajust the balance of trade. To obviate some objections, Mr. Y. said he had proposed an amendment, that the stockholders, over and above the capital stock, should he individually liable for the debts of the Company. Thus Ie hoped the asperities of the Bill had been smooth, ed for the passa.e of some gentlemen. But it is proposed to strike out the third secti-tm. This is a very slight exclusive >rivilege asked of t he State. It asks au exemption of thte real estate, which may be held by the Company for the transac tion of its business, frott State t axation. If getttlemen would take the trouble to nake the calculation, they would find it no exceedingly small bonus which is cra vel. at a slight encouragetmeot to the en. terprise, from the State. (QThough on tamed, -it is aboui $.150 per'year.) The dvtttinages which would result itt one nitely co'nterbalance that antalf pit tance. But gentlemen say, it is. not the amount, the paymentof which they would be freed front, but it is the imapolicy of the nca ure, and the badness of the precedent. It is a mistake that it is impolitic to en etuarage the direction oilf co::tterte and trade to our State; and upon the score of precedent, it is only necessary to cite get leten to the statute book. Look, among other cases, to the Charleston and Liver. poot liue packet Company. Not only did the Legisluture, in 1S3.5, exempt the $50. 000 of real estate authorized to be held by that Company freaom taxation for five years. hut also exempted from taxation, fur a given period, the goods which should he itported 'in the vessels of the Cotmp.t. ny. The Legislature went farther-it ex tended the exemption fronm taxation to all goods which might he imported in any v.sels ,independent of those of the Cot pny..) ownel by citizens of the 'State. If gentlemen wart. precedent, this will suf ee to show it has been the policy of this Legislature to encourage direct trade be. tween foreign ports and our own S3ate, by holding out iuducements to the enter. prise. The extension of such induce ments to so important an enterprise, can not be considered, as has been intimaled, asa violtilon of the pritnciples of free trade. WVe have long beett batlintg agatdust the imposition of impost du:ics by thu Gene ral Governmenctt, which iend tnwards thte exclutsiun of fineigtt commerce fromt our ports. Such privileges are not shaackelsn upon, but are so tmany inducements to such cotmmaerce. T'hey are not exclusive for otte class of our citizetns, but are alike open to all. It is singular that all thto hot anad fiery opposition to thi's Bill proceeds from may friends frotn Charlestott. Whty this sensilive and vigilant opposition to extendintg to compantes in the country, privileges which htave bean asked for and granted to them ? D~o they wish to mo nopolize all the privileges and betnefits oh cmmercial enterprise ? Let them un derstand thtat the country is read) (andL lor protof of the post look to your statutQ book,) to extend, all proper encourage tueents to heir great commercial emporium. But we ask her to grant to our applica tions like privileges. If the gentlemen are not predeteimined to btreak down this bill, let them suggest, in their greater wvisdonm attd experience, suffcient safeguardA to the public, and their adoptioni will he cheerfully acceedid to. .Whether the me morialists for this bill prosecute the enter prise or not, is not the question. If ihey do, and it shotuld contribute to the pros perity of Hlambnrg,-it will alike redaond a toge.interest of Charleston and advat tage to the State."

Webster is more, than proved. We : would particularly irnvite the attention of ur readers to.that position of the message ntended to prove that Mexico and not the i [Jnited States, was the aggressor in this ,~ var. To do this, the .Executive demon- t trates beyond tjuestiod that the legitimate } Aestera boundary of Texas : was the ;east ! e bank of the Rio Grande. He shows': I First. That the United States always, c md under every admin stration, claimed a he Rio Grande as our western boundary i ip to .the period of ceding to Spain all a uest'of the Sabine in 1819; and that in i he month of June, 1818, President Mon. oe sent a speci-.l messenger.to Galveston n Lo warn off certain foreign adven'urers "S about to settle in that vicinity "or any a titer place north of the Rio Grande." .Y Sceond. That in the treaty, made .lWe= r ween Texas and Santa Anna in 1836. v P eras expressly claimed the Rio Grande a sr her western boundary. and he (Santa b lnna) recognized as such. a Third. That by an act of the Congress II f Texas passed on the 19th December. a 836, after the recognition of her inde- w endeuce by Santa Anna, auid which was c otitled "atu act to deline the boundaries e f .the republic of Texas," she expressly ni eclared that the Rio Grande from its c outh to its source was its western houn ary ind'bymtle.sdmoi act.exteuded "her y ivil aodpolitical,. jur'isdictiou" over the .r uitry up to that boundary. a Fourth. That during theperiod of more' of an nine years which elapsed between 'I 2e establishment of her independence and ct er annexation to our Uuiou, Texas exer- t< ised acts of sovereignty and jurisdiction a ver the territory lying between the Nue- re es and ;he Rio Grande. a She orgamized and defined the limits of a ounties extenJing to the Iti Grande. e She established courts of justice and h xlended her judicial system over the e erritory. , 1 She established a customhouse.' anI e ollected dnies, and also post offices and e ost roads, igtiit.i A senator add a representative residing mi u it were both elected to the Congress of c he republic, and-.ser.ved as such before the ct of annexation iook place.

Trhe army, henavy, and tl~e volunteers are all comuipe,udeud.as they so richly merit, for. their g.!atutry to covering. as they have, our arms with glory. We do not agree with him, however, in the opinion expressed, that a volunteer force will be fouad the cheapest tnode of carrying on a war, at the same time that it is abu~idantly efticient. All experience proves, in our opinioni directly the reverse of this extra ordinary declaration. Hie recomn.aends the prosecution of the war with vigor. arid itimnates that' more troops will lbe required ; and att the same time he avows the intention of .continuing t,, ocetppy all the ports and provinces which have been captured fro.n the eny We hojie, therefore, thatt the'twenty fiv's timousand volunteers, or a large portion' usf them aL least. which the existing, law an thlorizes being employed, will be ittmedi atmely called into te field.
