The Earth is wide As when the first man walked abroad, When all things living owned him lord Himself but subject unto God. The Earth has lost no tint of green, The Sun still smiles from out the skies; And all the flowers are fnir, as when The wind first breathed on Paradise. The month and years toll on the same, And from the bosom of the soil Spring all things fresh and beautiful, Obedient to the hand of Toil. Who says despair, hos fuith nor will; He shuts his eye, and shuts his hand, And will not reap what God has spread Lavish and fair in every land. Who says despair, hath cowoid heart; He will not drive the ox, nor hold The plow, nor thrust his sickle round Sheafs that are brighter far than gold. Who says despair, let him go forth And plant the seed that groans for birth; And he shall find Ids garden fair As the first Paradise of Earth. SYMPATHY. A single tear, with feeling shed O'er sorrow and distress, Throws sunshine round the aching head, To cheer, rovive, and bless. One teat! who has it not to spare? It is a little thing; Yet lifts tho soul above despaii, On a bright seraph's wing. Deem it not vain a silent tear But let it kindly fall; 'Twill be a gem to deck your bier, When death's shrill voice shall call. The Wak Free Discussion. The Ad ministration presses keep up a ding-dong at what they arc pleased to call the traitor ous course of those who take the liberty to express an opinion against the war. This is certainly very modest; but as Whigs have never felt it their duly to ask leave of any body, whether President or parasite, to hold opinions or express them, it is not likely that they will do so hereafter. But look at the modesty of these men.' If, when the war was commenced, the par tizans of the administration had all taken the ground that now iho country is at war the causes of it should be left without dis cussion, and acted up to it, they might with some propriety lecture their opponents. But how stands the fact? In two success ive messages Mr. Pulk argues the question at length, and in one of them, by implicu tion, charges treason on all who dilfer from him. His .presses pursue the same policy. Dav after day, and week after week, the subject is pressed upon the public with un elding pertinacity. And when others take the samo liberty, and only the same liberty with themselves, the liberty to form and express opinions on tho samo subject, they aro visited with nil the reproaches which a rabid press knows how to coin. The consistency of this course is about on a par with its liberality. King George tho Third was very much displeased because Chatham, Burke, Barre and others, opposed tho assaults of Lord North's ministry upon the American Col onies. According to Mr. rolks notions thev were all traitors and deserved to be hanged, drawn and quartered. Wc are in cancel to think that in this, as well as in other respects, the people will discover symptoms of monarchical feelings in Mr Polk, and bo on their guard against them Respect does not follow extuava gance. The man who takes caro of his earnings is fur more respected than he who squanders all in "riotous living." So with the young lady. Although she may spend her last dollar in the purchase of a new dress or a costly shawl, and follow the whims of fashion as closely as docs the fashionable belle who has thousands at her disposal, she cannot make people believe she is richer than she really is; and is more likely to incur suspicion as to her rectitude of character, and to keep away such young men as make good husbands, from her snci ety, than if she lived prudently and dressed plainly.

Marcv, Secre tary ol W ar, 1 have tho honor to submit lerewilh a copy of the letter referred to. The letter from this department of tho 27th January, 1817 was laid before Congress pursuant to a call at the last session. The answer to it, now submitted, was riot then written, and did not reach this department until more than a month and ahalf after the resolution railing for tho correspondence with Gen. Taylor was answered, and Con gress had adjourned. ery rcspectiuliy, your obedient serv ant, WM. L. MARCY. To the President of the United States. HEADil'AUTl;r.S A ISMY OF OcCTP ATIOX, Agua Nueva, March o, IS 17. sir : I nave had tho honor to receive your communication of January 27th. en closing a newspaper slip, and expressing tho regret of the department that the letter copied in that slip, and which was ad dressed by myself to Major General Gaines, should have been published. Although your letter docs not convey the direct censure of the department or of the President, vet, when it is taken in con nection with the revival of a paragraph in the regulation of 1825, touching the publi cation of private letters concerning ope rations in the held, I am not permitted to doubt that I have become the subject of Ex- cutive di?uppr baiion. To any expression of it coming with the authority of the Pres ident, I am bound by my duty, and by my respect for his high olfiee, patiently to sub mit; but lest my silence should be construed into a tacit admission of the grounds and conclusions set forth in your communica tion, I deem it a duty which I owe to my self to submit a few remarks in rerlv. I shrill be pardoned for speaking plainly" In the hrst place, the published letter bcars'upon its face the most conclusive evi dence that it was intended only fur orivate perusal, and not at ail for publication. It was published without my knowledge, and contrary to my wishes. Surely, I need not say that I am not in the habit of writing for the newspapers. Tho letter was a familiar one, written to an old military friend with whom I have for many years interchanged opinions on professional" sub jects, lhat he should think proper to pubhsu it, under any circumstances, could not have been foreseen by me. In the absence of proof that the publica tion was made with my authority or knowl edge, I may be permitted to say that the quotation in your letter of the six hundred and fiftieth paragraph of tho siincradded regulations of 1825. in which the terms "mischievous" and 'disgraceful," ore em ployed to characterize certain letters or reports, conveys, though not openly, a meas ure of rebuke, which, to say the least, is rather harsh; and which muny may think not warranted by the premises. Again: I havo carefully examined the letler in question, and I do not admit that it is ob noxious to the objections urged in your communication. 1 see nothing in it which, under the same circumstances, I would not write again. To stipposu that it will give the enemy valuable information touching our past or prospective line of operations, is to know very little of the Mexican sour ces of information, or oftlieir extraordina ry sagacity and facilities in keeping con stantly opprized of our movements. As to my particular views in regard to the general policy to be pursued towards Mex ico, I perceive by the public journals that they are shared by many distinguished statesmen, and also, in part, by n conspicu ous officer of tiio navy, the publication of whose opinions is not perhaps obstructed by any regulations of his department. It is diliicult, then, to imagine that tho diffu sion of mino can render any peculiar aid to tho enemy, or especially disincline him "to enter into negotiations for peace." In conclusion, I would say that it has given me great pain to be broueht into the position in which I now find myself with regard to the Department of War and Government. It has not been of my own seeking. To tho extent of my ability, and the means placed at my disposal, 1 have sought faithfully to servo tho country, by carrying out the wishes and instructions'of the Executive. But it cannot bo concealed that, sineo the capitulation of Monterey the confidence of the department (and, 1 too much fear, of tho President) has been grad ually withdrawn, and my consideration and usefulnesscorre6pondingly diminished. The apparent determination of ihe department to placo me in an attitude ontogonisticul to the government, has an apt illustration in the well known fable of Esop. But I ask no furor, and I shrink from no respon sibility. Wbilo entrusted with tho com mand in this quarter, I shall continue to de- T vofc all my energies to the public good, looking for my reward to tlic consciousness of pure moiives, and the final verdict of impartiul history. I am, sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Z. TAYLOR, Tho message and accompanying docu ments wcro laid on tho table and ordered to be printed. Mr. Barrow moved that 10,000 extra copies be printed for the use of the House; which motion was agreed to. THE MISSION OF MIL TRIST.

To the Senate of the United States: In answer to the resolution of the Sen ate of the 1 lih January, 1817, calling for information upon the subject of the nego tialion between the Commissioner of the United States and tho Commissioner of Mexico, during the suspension of hostilit ies after the battles of L'ontreras and Chur ubuseo, I transmit a report from the Sec retary of Stale and the documents which accompany it.
