TO the departed.
Sleep on—for thou art calm at last;
And all the wrongs and nil the woes
1'na t mtukod they weary wanderings past,
Have left dice to thy long repose.—
i'liy sun of life midst tempests rose,
/n storms and daikues- hath it set;
Net rays of gl.«ry, at its dose,
burst forth, whose lustre, lingering yet,
Reveals to faith's uplifted eye,
llow blest thine immortality*.
Vesl—thine is now a brighter doom,
A bliss unchanging as divine;
\' bile la* who shared thine hours of gloom,
N\ nose tears were even mixed with thine.
Ts left to sutler and repine —
Oh not rrpine!—sad hcait he still!
And let it teach thee to resign,
And bend then to thy father's will.
That she, whose sorrows were thine own.
Is blest at length—though blest alone!
I will not mourn thee, dearest—no!—
As one whose hope is quenched for nvc;
The tears unceasing shull not flow
NVhrch earth nor heaven can wipe away.
Rather front realms of cloudless day,
A light shall pierce the circling gloom,
To cheer nre on iny weary way.
And guide the wanderer to his home;—
A home, where all that grieved before,
Is known—or is deploied—no more!
SPANISH SONG.
f'Aia—l ivu FI Hiy Ferdinands.
The chains «f Spain are breaking—
I.ct Gaul despair anti fiy;
Her wrathful ti limpet's speaking.
Let tyrants hear and die.
Her standaid uVr tts arching
is homing red and fair;
The soul of Spain is marching
111 thunder to the war.
Look round your lovely Spain,
And say shall Gaul remain?
Behold yon burning valley.
Heboid yon naked plain—
Let us hear their drum—
Let tlieii■ come, let them come!
for vengeance and freedom ralL,
And, Spaniards! unward for Spain'.
Remember, Remember Barossn,
Rcmembt-i Napoleon's chain—
Remember your own Saragossa.
And strike for the cau.se of Spain—
Remember your own Saragossa,
And onward, ouwaid for Spain!

AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION.
The llou-e tl.cn, on inolion of Mr. McDuffie, again '
w t.t into Committee of the Whole, on the resolution
o!f.j;« J bv that gentleman, proposing an amendment to
(ho Constitution, in that part of it which respects the
election of President and Vico President of the United
Stales j
• Jr. rroHP.t, cl New 1 ork, addressed the Commit
tee . in reply 1r> Mr. McDuffie, in a speech of much lo- !
al ncu'mmss, which lie closed about three o’clovk, and l
which will of course he reported at large.
Air. Storks commenced, as Mr. McD. had done, by !
d j-i-t tril ni' lo »he ability of the framers of (lie Consti
tution. and reflected on the boldness of attempting, with
so small experience and such inferior extent of political
know ledge, to amend their labors. He considered the
am on nei.t rrs going to produce a radical change in the j
structure of our Government; and ho therefore, in the
fn •’ place, took a review of (be Constitution, as it now
«ta:ih; and argued, that wheirver the word State is!
used, it icfeis not to a State Legislature, but to the I
People of a State, considered as a collective political !
body, i lie ( onstii ufiori had been once amended, by its j
framers; and though they were alarmed for State rights,
and feared consolidation, they had no resort to a district
system for the election of President.
He proceeded to reply to the argument of Mr. McD.
drawn from the vote of the People of New York, in fa- j
vor of the district svxtem; and explained the circurn- I
stances tindr.-r whir h it had been given. He dissented
enlittly from »!.«• «• ntimont, that the constitution aimed
simply at n c it lining the popular voice, in the election 1
of a President; aid J that the pure democratic!
principle was to be Cun ! in no one branch of the Go- j
vrrtsment riot even in the House of Hepresentativcs it
«r If, hut a mixed primiple. in which the rights of in de
peudenl state sovereignties wi re commingled with those
ot the People a* lar. ■ As to l.-gi lation, and the con
structive poweis of Congress, they were lo a t on the
IViylc as a mass: but, i.i all other respects the relation
of the Stales, as so many distinct communities, was al
ways kept in view; and he adverted, part.cirlarlv, to
the importance of this principle to the slave-holding
S'ales.
lie compared the relative population of the States, as
now entirely changed Itht pit g:t,s of the West--and
shewed that the Cniou was fast approaching the point ,
, when the representation of the noo-slavc-hokling States
‘ would amount to two-thirds of the whole, and could
j charge the Constitution. The security of the Southern
; States was incompatible with any system which incited
down the People ot all ihe Slates into one mass. lie
tu god Mr. Mel), to complete his amendment on his own
principles—and abolish a state ol tilings which gave to
the free voters in some States a power much greater
than in others. It uniformity was dcsiral c, it might be
attained by making all the States vote by general tick*
ct. 1 le combatted the argument respecting tbe anni
hilation of minorities—and contended that this princi
ple was the necessary consequence of allowing the ma
jurit y to govern. The dangers of a caucus S3 stem
would not be destroyed, but only scattered aud diffused,
by districting the States. He scouted the insinua
tion that a few individuals could change the mafoiity,
and that ten men had turned the election in Maryland.
! J l,c whole majority turned it—and not these ten men.
J On the subject of Congressional corruption, Mr. S.
j insisted that no aigument lay fiom the abuso of a tru?t
| —but repelled die charge as unmerited, as unjust to the
j President, and degrading to the National character.
I He appealed to all tlio past administrations, even that of
j Washington, as having scarcely retained a majority in
the House. He denied the analogy drawn from Rome:
and treated, with scorn, a comparison of the American
People, to the brutal soldiery of C;csar.
He then proceeded to examine the system proposed
by the amendment; which went to destroy the powers
ol the small Slates, by taking away their vote in the
House of Representatives—to compel the People to
choose a President prefored by a minority only, whe
ther he should be their second choice or not* The whole
system went on the false assumption, that one of two
pluralities would, nccessaiily, be (lie second choice of
the Electors, which was a non sct/uilur. He maintain
ed that Ihe present was not a propitious season to attempt
the amendment of the Constitution: that the responsi
bility of Representatives was a sufficient, and Ihe only i
effectual safeguard against their corruption; and closed |
; with a gctienil representation ot the blessings which the |
j Nation was enjoying, chiefly through the effects of the i
j Constitution as if now existed.
; The motion for tire Committee’s rising was made by j
j '1 *'• Archer, ot V irginia, who, in consequence, has the ■
! floor for .Monday next.

i> i.\v Bankrupt Bfir.. — Many cf our readers will
see with pleasure, and none, we presume, with indiffe
rence, that a hill to establish a uniform s\-tom of Bank
ruptcy, throughout the Union, was yesterday reported
lo the Senate, by Air. I fay no ofS. Carolina. 'I’lie bill
is, ot course, very long, nud evinces a degree of atten
tion and labor creditable to the Committee, and deser
r ing the thanks of all who arc interested in the subject.
It is impossible for us uow, to find room for any tiling
like a detailed exposition of its provisions: but. in addi- j
tion to the reference made to the contents of the bill,
by Mr. llnyne, in his introductory remarks, (reported
under the proper head,} the following brief outline of its
main objects, is offered to our readers.
The first section declares, in substance that any Mer
chant, or other person engaged in commercial pursuits,
who shall commit any of the acts of bankruptcy, there
in specified, maybe declared a bankrupt. Farmers,
and others, aie exempt, from the opeiatiai of this scc
I tion.
| . J he next sections provide for the appointment in each
; State, ot one (leneral (.'ontmissioner of Hankvuptcij, be
| fore whom shall he conducted all questions arising tin
der the law, with the right of appeal to the Courts of
the United Stales, arid securing a jury trial, in all cases,
nhere it may he demanded by cither party. Special
commissions art; authorized, in all cases where the
court shall deem them necessary.
" hen a person is found to hr a bankiupt his whole
creditors, for the equal benefit of all the credi
e.-ilatc is to he vested in assignees, chosen bv the
tors. \ arious provisions are made, in other parts iff
tbe bill, with flic object of securing to creditors, the
whole estate of the bankrupt. Provision is then made
for the support of the bankrupt, pending the invesliga
tion, and for a final allowance to Isitn, in proportion to
the amount divided among the creditors. On its final
ly appearing that the bankrupt lias made a fair and full
surrender of his whole estale to his creditors, and has
acted throughout with good faith, the bill provides for
his discharge from all further liability for existing debts.
A great many sections of the bill ate devoted to the
regulation ol the proceedings of the Commissioner and
Assignees; and prescribing the course to be pursued by
the bankrupt and his creditors. The bill finally pro
vides for the case of persons, other them traders, who
(though exempt from the operation of^the first section
of the bill,) a»c permitted, cn the application of the
creditors, and with ttuir own consent, to become bank
rupts.— [/fat. hit.

Smith s Cotton Planter & Cultivator.
f S’tllOSL interested in the culture of Cotton are in ft. ruled
J. that a machine is invented fur planting and cultivating
mis Clop, which promises to tie ol great importance. It
has been lately exhibited both in Richmond and Pctet^turg.
and met the approbation ol all who had an opoitimity of
seeing it. Those who associate large crops of tobacco or
corn with cotton, will find it a valuable acquisition. It is
computed that one hand with this machine will plant ot
cultivate ten ac res per day. They are so simple in t'.tcK
construction that any common mechanic can make them
ar.d any farmer keep them in repair.
1 he following ccitificate, to which many more respecta
ble signatures might have been added, will no doubt be per
ectly satisfactoiy.
Having witnessed the operatic.u of Mr. Smith’s Patent
(Cotton I tauter and C ultivotor, we have no hesitation in
saying that it fully answers the purpose for which it is de
signed. It opens the furrow,drops the seed at any regular
distance required,covets it lightly and tolls it at one opera
tion, and all much better than it could be done by hand. Af
ter the cotton is up, two small ploughs are then attached,
which removes tiie gtass and weeds hum both sides of the
plant at once. It operates as fast ns a horse usually
walks. It is necessary however, that the land should la
first listed, and free from stumps err other obsliuctiems.
