Who has done this1 Let the reason be shown,


And le, the Offender be pelted with ssone"'


And the dram-drinker said, ''If you listen to me,


You hear wha, you hear and shall what you


81 had a father: the grave is his bed.


l had a mother she sleeps with the dead.


Freely | wept when they lef, alone


But shed all my their grave and their stone.
! | planted a wov-I planted yew--


And left o sleep till tho last trumpet blew.
| ''FoEtune mIne and mounted her car;
Pleasure from virtue beckoned me far
Onward went avalanche down,


And the sunshine of fortune changed frown
ssFortune was goac-and | took side,
A young, and lovely, and beautiful bride;
Her l treated with GOODNESS and scorn,
Tarrying back til the break of the morn;


Sighting her Kindness, and mocking her
Ca sting a blight on Ler tenderest years:
Sad, and neg glec ted, and weary, left her
Sorrow and of her reason bereft her
TIL, like a star. when il falls from its pride,
/ She sunk bosom of misery, and died.
Il had child, and il grew like vine;
Fair the of Damascus mine;
Fair--and l watched o'er her innocent youth,
As angel from Heaven would watch truth.
She grew like her mother-in feature and form


Her blue eye was langud-her cheek TOO was warm.
Seventeen summers had shone on her brow


The eyenteenth winter beheld her laid low.


Yonder they sleep in the grave side by side


A fathsr-a mother-a daughter-a BRIDE.


..When they had left me, stood here alone


None OF my my kindred was known:


Erie ads all foFsaking, and hope all departed


sad, ana despondIng, ana desoiate hearted


Feeling kindness for aught that was human


Hated by man, and dotested by


Bankrupt in fortune, and ruined in name,;


Onward l kept i'll the pathway of shame:


And, till this hour, my daughter went down,


Nv brow has but known a continual frown!


$50 your children: and tell them tie tale;


Tell them his cheek, too, was lvdly pale


Tell them his eyes all boodsho, and cold


Tell them his purse stranger gold


Tell them he passed through the wodd they in,
The victim of sorrow, and misery and sin;


Tell them. when lifes shameful conflicts past
In and anguish he persisted at last.'


The Legislature and the WhiS Party On
joint ballot parties equally balanced in the
present Legislature. Wings have control of the
Senate, and the Loco Focos of the House. Ours
being a republican government. and all power
coming directly from the people, they expect thai
occasionally their agents should make close
animation into the official acts Of those to whom
power may be entrusted. Acting in accordance
with this popular wish, his Excelency, Gov
Bigger, In his annual communIcat ton TO the
presentntIves of the people recommended and
urged the closest and severest scrutiny into the
official acts of all in the service of the State
Mr. Eggleston, in the Senate, proposed, and a
Wing Senate adopted, a resolution that all State
agents connected with the system Of improve
ments and the loaning OF money for that and
bank purposes should be examined by Joint
committee OF both Houses. Mr.. DEFREEs, a
Whig. moved resolution in the House that our
Fund Commissioners &c. should appear before
the bar Of tie House and answer to the Repre-
Of the people and te the people them
selves, as to their conduc, both good and bad, in
all their official transactions. The Wings are
sa tIsfed that all is Dot right, that some of our
public agents have stepped from the path of rec
ttude. and they ANXIOUS that the guilty should
be forthwith and speedily discovered that the
people might know upon whom TO visit their
pleasure and the penalties ofvIolated law.


Where were the Locos all this time? While
the Wings were active in preparing the necessa-
ry preiiminares for a full and public exposure,
they, if We may judge from appearances, were
ly ing istess, and never dreaming that anything
was TO be done in The premises, or in fact, that
the people expected the Legislature to examine
into the acts Of those entrusted with the money
operations of the State. But, being made to
ierstand at last, that some thing was to be done,
that the people wished TO know how their money
had been disposed of, Mr.. Hannegan one Of their
leaders 10 the House. started proposition to
percede tha, Of Mr.. Defrees, that the proposed
examination should be made in small commi-
tee room, md by a partial and party committee.
As the Locos have the majority In the House,
MIR. Defrees. proposition was voted down, aud
Mr. Hannegan's sustained


The Wings will get what the people desired.
IN examination of our public agents, but il will
not be conducted in tha, full and public manner
