And the stern foot-step of decay Comes steal!:.g on. i Hwvjfieasure, like the passing wind, Blows by, and leaves us nought behind But grief at last; How still our present happiness Seems, to the way ward fancy, less Than what is past. Our lives like hasting streams must be, That into one engulfing sea Are doomed to fall; The Sea of Death, whose waves roll on. O’er king and kingdom, crown and throne, And swallow all. Alike the river’s loiJl> ti.lt-. Alike the humble riv'lets glide . I Tothe^ad wave; Death levels poverty and pride, And rich and p-» r sleep side by side Within the grave. Our birth is but the staHing-place, Life i« the tunning uf the race, And deatli the goal; There all our step- at last are brought, That path alone, of all unsought, Is foiiNd of all.

Very respectfully, yourohed’t. Jv, SIDNEY BHEEsE, Washington, Feb 23, 1849. Sir : On my return to this country from Mexico, bro ke? in constitution, feeble in health, and still suffering ttu dei the effects of wounds; you were the only man in the city of Washington who received me with coldness and unkindi ss. When this city honored me with a public dinner, which was generously intended as a compliment not only to me but to iny State, you were theonly man who declined to attend that dinner. You went further. Von propagated a rep rt here in .Washington and cir culated it afterwards in Illinois, that I was ineligible to the office of Senator; and this, too, after 1 had poured • in my c»lo-.d like water in tic* battle fieldsof iiiv country. ^ hi published an art;. ; « the st. 1, mis Republican charg ing me. with ineligibility—doing that which I thought no n.ar; in these United {States would have been mean enough t. d<» in my case, even if it had been true. \ <u, however, did this, knowing it to be untrue. On this subject 1 have smply to say, that, had I been defeated by you on that g-otind, I had sworn in my heart that you never should lave profited hv your success; and, depend upon i», 1 vould have kept that vow, regardless of consequences,— '.’hat,however, is now past, and the vow is cancelled by your defeat. Wh v 1 address you now is simply this: In 1840 you gave me something in the shape of a fi nal certificate of naturalization in Effingham court.— Urn knew at the time that 1 was naturalized by law, and by the naturalization of my father while l was a minor. I tod you the circumstances, and, as I then talked of go ing to Canada in case of war, you offered to give me a certificate which would simplify the proof in case of diffi culty. Now, I wish you to give me a letter acknowl edging these facts. I write you a private letter for that purpose. I should have sent a friend at once and impeta lively demanded such a letter, hut I felt that, in disgra cing you, I would disgrace the Slate that made you and myself Senators: and I also wished to g’rve you an oppor tunity to-ipake this acknowledgment quietly. If, how ever, you pC'sist in your course of injustice towards m*\ ind refuse this request, I here give you fair warning — iet the consequences fall on your own head — I shall ho^ myself acquitted both before God and ma.i for the course I shall feel bound to pursue towards you. Your obedient servant. JAS. SHIELDS. lion. Sidney Brecse. Gen. Shields begins his letter by referring to the wounds he- received in Mexico. This allusion seems finite unnecessary. The whole country, and particularly the people of Illinois, are familiar with the Lict he bears honorable scars upon his person! For these wounds he lias already received a liberal share of sympathy from his grateful countrymen. However, I am not disposed to ca vil at this part of his letter. It ss a matter of taste that does not concern me. 1 deny most positively that I treated General Shields with “coldness and nnkindness”on his return from Mex ico. Immediately on his arrival in this city, I called tj pay my respects to him, and, not finding him at home, left my card, as is the custom. A few days after this, I met General Shields, when his manner towards me was so cold and repulsive that. [ saw familiar intercourse was it an end, and of course l did not attend the dinner given to him. I repeat that 1 did not treat Gen. Shields with “c hi ness and unkindness;” for I entertained, at that t une, none other than t he most friendly feeling towards j him: and I confidently appeal to the while history up to this time of our personal, professional, and political inter course, to support this declaration. As to his eligibility to the office of Senator, lean only say that I “propaga ted” no “report,” here or elsewhere, in relation to it,— In conversak n upon this subject, i Mated to a friend a tact, which the record of the Effingham circuit court would establish, and “blood,” no mailer where or how “poured out,” cannot alter that record or change the con sti'ution of the United Slates. The assertion of Gen. ■ tclds that I charged him with “ineliginihty” in ao ar tn'le in the St. Louis Republican, not only is not true, hut is without ajiy color of truth, i positively assert, and defy coniradi' tiun, that I did not write, nor cause to Ire written, nor knew, until after its publication, that it had been written, that, or any other article, for that or anv other paper, in relation to litis subject. Not the leant ao of the many remarkable passages of tins letter of Gen Shields is the following: “On t h s sit j.-ct I have simply t., say that, had 1 been defeated by you on that ground, (the ground of ineligibility,’) I had sw rn in my heart that you never should"’ have profited by your success; and. depend upon it, I would have kept' my vow regardless of consequences. Certainly it is form nate for his honorand for the country that this rash “vow” has been “cancelled” by my defeat : General Shields submits his pretensions to a seat in the Senate to a Dem ocratic caucus of [he Illinois Legislature, and agrees ex pressly, or by ihe clearest implication, that he will abide their decision; and yet it appears that at tliis very mo ment - had sworn in hi's hear'.” to defeat the will of the party it it had pronounced in favor of his most prom ment competitor, and in order to accomplish his pur pose, he determined to perpetrate an assassination, fi>r such is ike obvious import ol this language. Such a tie sign and such a deed are revolting to the? American mind, and foreign to the American character. They are wor thy only </ the most infamous age of Italian crime.— If our political contests are *l> he mingled with, or follow ed by, personal violence, how long will our elective sys tem endure? Without further comments, I submit tin extraordinary passage to the consideration of candid men, Christiars and patriots, who love and respect the laws anj institutions of our country,and desire to guard and de fend them against all violation. (•eu. Shields says : “In 1840 I gave him something in the shape of a final certificate of naturalization w hich was “to simplify the proof in case of «*ifl\cul v.”_ The naturaliz3ti n laws do not recognize (‘somethimr” or anything "in the shape of a final certificate” to .“simpli fy proof in case of difficulty,” or for any other propose* — How, then, could f. a circuit judge,have given him any such paper. The statement Ins no fact, legal provision, or probability, to support if. The truth is, no su.dt “cer tifjcate'* was ever given by n:o. He may, or may not, have procured a copy of the record of his naturalization under the seal of the court, ami that is the oily certifi cate 1 could have any connection with, direct*}’ or indi rectly. The fi rat and only knowledge i ever nad of Gen. Shields’s father, either in connection with hij citizenship or in any other connection, I derived from an article pub lished in tho St I .•mi-i Republican, :t short lint" n,d>se- ; quent to the election of Senator. And I have yet to see or hear of any man in Illinois or elsewhere w iiokqew that his father was even a resident of this country.— Gen. Shields says I knew that In* (being a minor at the time ) was naturalized by the naturalizati n of Ins father, because he “told ine of the circumstances.” Suppose he did tell me so, (which I positively deny,) does tint make it So? Even though the assertion might convince me ot the fact, a bundle ol certificates tr im me. no mat ter how strong, would be of no legal value. It it be true that his f?the was in this country and naturalized, is it i possible that Fen Shields should know the fact and not know the State and county where it occurred. When authentic copies of th se naturalization papers, if they exist, could be so easily procured, is it not strange he shoubl attempt to extort from me by menace a statement which,if obtained, could have no legal bearing upon the subject. W jia> the “consequences” are against which General Shields gives me “fair warning,” If I persist in what n • sane man will call “injustice,” I am equally ignorant of and indifferent to. One th ug is certain, he they w hat they may. 1 have not given, nor shall I give him, anv “statement” ofthe character required, either “quietly” or upon “imperative demand.” In conclusion, I will state that I have neither provoked nor desired the necessity that has impelled mu to make this communication. I respectfully submit it und, r the full conviction that it is called hr hv the eircums anees' HENRY 13RGESE Washington, February *26, 18-1‘J. 1 he National Intelligencer, of Thursday miming publishes the follow];, ■ card from G-noral Shields: j W ashington, Fell.28, Isl'.'. Ii is with much reluctance I feel compelled to obtrude ; on the notice of the public a statement explanatory of a private letter addressed by me a few days ago to the lion. Sidney Breese, an I published by him, with com ments, in the lotelligCiic-L of this day. The facts are these: Mr Breese has been lor many months en raged in dustriously in disseminating the most injurious reports concerning me, the only ostensible mo'ive being that my friends had brought me forward as bis competitor for elec tion to the Senate of the United Stales. I had been .ever since rny visit to this city last summer, cognizant of his efforts, unceasing, unremitting, and reckless, to blast mv character and mb me of llie only wealth to which 1 can lay claim—a reputation, thank God, without a blot. Im mediately on my arrival here I wrote him ihe letter he has published, accusing him of his baseness. That let ter, written under the influence of no ordinary emotions, wa pouched in language which under other circnnistances I would not have used; and. upon reflection, and hy Ili ad vice of my friends,! aulhoriz ,1 two honorable Sena ors f'rurally to withdraw it. .Mr. Breese declined to yield it up, and the use he has made of it shows by what motives he was actuated. That portion of tny I. tier which ho lias distorted into a threat of assassiuali ui, I filial! hrit fly n-tice. The no ms he used to prevent my election were of such a nature that the competition between us became a personal snuggle, and as his triumph would have been an endorsement ul his calumnies, mv character tnd position were involved in the ivsue. I determined, therefore, as intimated in my letter,to render such a triumph unavailing by a thorough exposure of his chancier and conduct.thus turning into a moral pillory the position of Senator of the United Slates which he would have acquired hy ihe vilest misrepresen tations. The interpretation he has put upon this,threat— that is,that I had avowed to assassinate him — is so absurd that it would be equally preposterous on my part serious ly to repudiate such a meaning. That any sane man can believe I would have assas-inated Mr. Breese, I have no apprehension. That Mr. Ilreese himself dreamed of such a thing, is totally impossible. h or the controversy in which Mr Breese would involve .neon other matters, I have no relish. 1 d i nut think myself warranted, except as in the case of the ainve statement, tor self detonce, in throsiing my personal con cerns mi the notice of the public; besides that, the course Mr. Breese has pursued in relalion to my letter, disenti tles him to that consideration which might induce me un der other circumstances to reply to his remarks.

At I the bridge they were met by nearly the entire population, ! eager to welcome the distinguished veteran to one of the most romantic ar.d classic spots in our country. I lore the [ Mayor delivered an appropriate address, which was responded to by General Taylor in his p'ain and forcible style. A line of proce-sion was then formed, which pro ceeded to the “Union Hotel,” where f.r some hours multitudes of citizens, of all classes, greeted wiili delight the venerated chief. Unwards of five hundred lu.fies were presented to him, whilst the sterner sex were en thusiastic in their attentions. 1 he General and suite then retired to another spacious apartment, and wit., the Mayor and other officers of the Corporation sat down to a sumptuous and elegant din ner, prepared in Tilley’s best style. About five o’clock, their distiguished guest Iroing summoned by other enga gements, the company separated, afier a day spent in most agreeable and gratifying intercourse.—J\at. Int.<f Thursday. General Taylof lias improved f.om the comparative repose which lie Ins enjoyed since his arrival in Wash ington. He receives a crowd of visitors every morning— j Union. The Washington Whig, of Thursday, says : I he President’s levee, last evening, was the most ! brilliant, that was ever, perhaps, held in the Executive Mansion. Not less than five thousand people were pro sent. The display of beauty and rich apparel would have reflected honor upon a reception evening at Ruck Ingham Palace. The President elect was not present. Among the distingu ‘ ed visitors on the occasion, we noticed Colonel Bliss and lady and Colonel Jefferson Dj v is. Mr. Winthrop. the Speaker of the House uf Repre sentatives, entertained a large party on Tuesday evening, winch was honored by the prese .eeof the President elect. We are inf irmed that Henry Bourne, Esq., of Lon don, has arrived hv the “Europa” with full authority from the Marquis Clanricard, British Postmaster General, to arrange and conclude the additional articles cuii'piii plated by the Postal Treaty between Great Britain and tbe United States. — By the 21st clause of that treaty those additional articles are to he adjusted by the Post Of fi<*e Departments of the two c »untries. S. R. f Tibbie,! Esq., who, it seems was, until a late day, cxp-ct d to, Loudon to arrange these measures of details there, has born authorized by Mr. Johnson, Postmaster General, to act in behalf of our Department with Mr. B'.mrno ; and those gentlemen are now sitting as a commission f.r that purpose. Greater importance attaches to this mat ter from the. fact that the British Post Office considers that the provisions of the treaty cannot go into effect un til the additional articles are adjusted ; and from the fur ther considerate n that they cannot go into efi’nct with full and equal advantage to us, without some additional legislation on our part, in respect to the scale of prog res sion in the rating of letters, the return of dead letters, and the registration of valuable correspondence.—JVaf. Int. Excitement in Canada.— A bill has been lately intro duced in'o the Legislature of Canada appropriating near $l ,1)00.000 to indemnify sufferers by the late rebel lion. In the course of the discussion, the Solicitor Gert, eraL Mr. Blake, applied the t.rm "rebel” to Sir. Allen M’Vabb. The latter said it was a falsehood. Mr. Ulake refused to retract. At this moment there was a great uproar in the galleries and a fight was commenced between two individuals, in which others seemed dispo sed to participate. The Speaker shouted order in vain, and was on the point of leaving the chair when the Ser ore^ot.at-Arms and several of the members climbed into the galleries and cleared tnetn. n.. . a... i a m„. Donald, the member from Kingston, was taken into cus tody, by order of the House, it is supposed on the ground that he had despatched a hostile message to Mr Blake. On the night of the 15th, a meeting of several thousand was held in Montreal, at which the indemnity bill was denounced, ami the Attorney General fur the Hast was burnt in effigy. The following is the tone of one of the Canada papers : “If they (the Ministers) do not withdraw the measure we promise them not to be the hist 111 forwarding .the fiery cross through the Anglo Saxon population, nor shall we be slack in urging them, as to measures of safe ty for themselves, ami of guaranty against farther cruel ty to their injury honor as a race.

Tha vote on its engrossment stood GO to 30. In the H une a series of resolutions were offered on tha 5lh. “Declaring that slavery was not forbidden by divina law ; that it had not been abolished in any of the Stales, till by physical causes it had become profitless; tbateman cipation could not take place in any State till properly in slaves had become comparatively valueless, and utiles* the Slate paid for ttie slave emancipated . that property, in slaves iu ibis "Stale, had not become depreciated hy physical causes, 3nd that slavery should not he inter., fered with in any manner, till by the operation if ilia causes before referred to, it could lie dispensed with, and | means provided fur its extinction without injury' to tha savehulder.” A tier debate they were ordered to lie nn the table till the 1 st of June, 58 to 34. 1 lie Lexington Observer thus comments on the vote : We hope that the prompt and united acii »n of the Legislature upon the subject . f Kmanripation will put an end to the subject. 1 h<s friends «>f emancipation see that the public feeling Is overwhelmingly rgainst them, and that all eflfurison their part will be worse than useless. We kn'»w scarcely of any subject which could have commanded such a vote in the Legislature, asthai which lias just been recorded against either munedi&k* or gradual emancipation. The interim ddlers of the North may now have sum practical proof of the good they are likely to accomplish by their uncmtsiiiu'tonal proceedings, even »ce»rdior t«> their own conceptions of what is good. They have'p-r haps contributed more than any other cause to make the Stale ot Kentu ky, once thought to !»edehateable ground, firmly and thoroughly united, from the banks of Sandy tu the Mississippi. Let them ponder upon these things, and if the spirit of fanaticism has not driven all ideas from their heads hut one, they will at once abandon their infamous ways. We hope that .nis will end the matter among ourselves, for it has alwe.ys been our deliberate conviction that the agitation of the subject waslxiiii unwise and improjier,_ It is unlike any other moral or political question, since it involves too much of human security and peace. We all know this. (0- Thn society of Washington is abont to part with ono of its brightest ornaments, in the person of President Polk's amiable and accomplished lady.
