THE ANGEL'S WING. -There is a Gerans tradition that wign a suidde n silence t akes place in a comparfy, an angel nt that ionient makes a circuit imong them, and the first person ho breaks the silence is snpposed to have been toueled by. he wing of the passing seraph. And why Aiosld wisdom smile at this? Are hot ihose perlect beings nigh. To witness and to share our bliss. To hear and hush the secret sigh ? Yea, they may Heaven's solace bring, Then scorn not thou, the Angel's Wing! Thou! who alone, thyself dost deem, A solitary in thy grief.- List! soft as footfall of a dream, Comes one to bear the s%%eet relief, And fled is all iby boarded care, The passing Seraph's Wing is there! Thon, who. forgiven, dost possess The penitent's intensenuelight, When the dark-clnd of guilt's distress Reveals to thee its edze of light.- Think! as unhallowed tempests fly, Thy soul is touched, the Wing is nigh! And thoni. of cotemplative mood Who dost at eve in wild woods stray. Where notigh of this world may inturde, Where fancy migh's in others play, And hearest the voice which zephyr fings, No! 'tis the rush of Angel Wi'gs. Dh, I have paused a space, as 'twere; - Bewilderina thoughts to gather up,- To put aside the dranght of care And,taste of mind's exalted cup; Nor knew what o'er my sotl could bring Such calmness was the Seraph's Wing. When brooding tempteru cause me shame. And in its company of sin My spirit st te--the Aigel ame,- Andlwep 'with wings the heart *hbin. A nioment made its circuit there, And broke my silence into prayer. I knelt beside my precious boy,. WhoIt went at childhoot's fiiry time, MV hospe. my life. my hein's joy- Frotn Ihis to Love's tnclouded clime; And thile around wept pit ying taeni, I joyed-the Angel touched me then! Antid oh, when at my own lass hour The world rece'des awd Ollies fly; Th.:t near me with supporlittr iower Might plumesome herald of the sky- Andi while of victory sing, Bear te awayon upward Wing! T. From the Savannah Georgian. The old year passed with a sigh & Groan, As sigh and groan he might;. For in his course full maRty a ond Hath felt misfortune's blight. And many a heart that hailed this morn, With gladness ani with glee. Recalls hope's transient blossoms flown With pain and tmisery.

To value him as he meris, men tmust serve and consult with~him. Thoe who have done so, bear united and strong testimony to his pru dence, sagacity atnd integrity; in short, to his possessing all the most solid and valu- able charecteristics of a public man. In rejoicing, therefore, at the prospect of se- curing him again as a public servant, *e are sure :hat we but giveutlerance to the voice of S. C.

Richardson's name ureed, to- gether with tie hbnorahle, and tots high- ly gratifying motives that prompted it; and that Col. Elmore bad positively declined to be, a candidate, in consequence of the pressing engageinentsof his private affiairs and cordially approved the nomination of Col Richardson; we have entertained the tnost decidet approbation of that nbmina- tion, and confident that it would secure the general and hearty support of our po- litical friends, of either of the old State parties. So.far, this confidence has been rully sustained. Not the slightest expres- sion of doubt or disapprohntion. has been uttercd ine'or hearini, or that of any one we have spokeh, alith on the subject; but everywhere tie most Wemlaneous gratifi- ration, not only at the nomination itsell, hut the jus and generous motives or it, so nat ural to our people and peculiarly ho.,- orable to their character; Hotd we feel as- sured iat Col.

It niforils us great pleasure to add the following responses front the Patriot and Coiurier. especiilly the hitter, on account of its highly gratifying admission, that "our old party feud is now thoroughly healed." "Blessed be the peace makers," and their initual and mpot appropriate and worthy peace-iffering We greatly. rejoice Atthis mean- of hatisfying our respected Union friends und associates, that the hand of friendship extended to them from the first moment that the areat question of differ- ence was-honorably and amicably settled, has been thoroughlv -honest and incet-e.

Aes nt tIE LATE SEssioN.-We commence to lay, the publication of the Acts of the late session of the Legislatur., and will endeavor to publish the whole, as early asour limits will pertmit-believing that it cannot fail to be desirable to the great body of our readers, especially as most of these acts aM ofnifre thab ot-din- ary interest and importance. ,The firs one we publish tn-day, commonly called the Tax Act, contains twd new provioi- -one. that all real estate out of the Parish es of St. Philip and St. Michael, shall be returned on oath of the owners, aM the ac inal valuet (9d excellent provision, ex- cept that it should have included ihose Pairishes, also. and thereby 'mbolished ther unnecessary office of Assessor, saved his s'afary, and a'.ted uniformly throughout'the State;) and tilb uher, she lax on capital employel hy Brokers, which, says tha Charleston Murcury. has excited "somne disenssion. and not a little astonishment" -while "theCharleston Delegalion. one and all," declare their ignorance of its origin, and '-even the Chairmni of the Committee who reported the hill, washes his hanis ofall partilkpdlion" in it. IPor our own par,, we see no reason why capi tal employed in this way, should no- he taxed, as well as that vested in itierchan diz;, fei estate, etc. etc. Beine aliki protected by the government, why should it not alike contribute toward the general expense ef such protection? The iax may possibly be too high, ins propiortion. though we know nt that it is so; & it is certainIy scarcely right to tax Brokers, & not Banmk ers; but we hope that Bank stock, also. will h6 taxed, hereafter. 'Wily should it not ?' The system of taxation in this State, appears to us to* requiire~further revision, as being in .some respects snequmally and injuioushy hurt hensomne. Thie taxes. on mterchandise,ahd real estate,are veryhi, andI tust! enl -to discottr'nge amercaritile investments, and promote em ilra tioin-ttwo very seriotus evils.

Secondily-That the tniqimuim rie, now established by .6aY, shall remtraih-il- changed till 30th June, 1842; bus a4fer that period,. may bereduced to the follow- ing scalet AU lands that have been o'lredfor stlv and remain unsold ten years preceding the 30th June, may be reduced to a price not. less than a dollaj- the acre. Alh hai remain unsold 15 years,'to.bo reduced to75 ets. AU that.have been offered fo' alei 20 years and rentain unsold 50 ets. -- All that remain unsold 2-5 years, 25 ect. All that remain unsold 30 years, shall be ceded immediately to the:.Slates in which they are situated it Provided, that all lands which reilain unisold afler having been offered at public sale for ten years, and which do not come under the foregoing provisions, -shall -be subject lb the Orovisions or graduation and nession, at the respective periods of 10,15, 20, 25 and 30 years after the sale, com- mencing frino the bpiration of ten year. after they had bech olietd for. sale. Thirdly-The lands are to be subject to the sane subdivisions, in sale and survey, that they now are, inclading the same res- ervatione; and are to be offered for sale by the States, for cash only. Lands that re- main unsold after having been -exposed-for sale, shall be subject to private entry, for cash only. As soon an the President of the U. S. is informed oflicially of the acceptancb ofany State of the conditions expressed in the bill, lie is to withdraw the public laud-of- fices, and surrender tiie lands. These are the leading featured of the hill, and it will undoubtely pass, and secure'to Mr. Calhouni, as d cahdidate for the presidency, after Van Buren's aecond term, the electoral vote-of nine States- already' in existence, and the States of Wisconsin, Florida and Iowa, that are to be admitted into the Union be- fore the election of the successor. This bill will, beyond all doubt, produe much sensation throughout the Uniub. MAKING UP FOR LOST TIMg. A traveller in Missouri, arrived weary and foot sore at one of their road side inna. After stepping into the bar-room and tak- ing the usual number of drinks, the follow-* ing colioqy iook place between hidi and the landlady; "I say ma'am, have you got a consider- :tble number of beds in your house?" "Yes," answered she, "rather reckon we have." "4nw many ha 4 yoh about this timd ,hat an't noways cugaged!" "Well, we've one room up stairs with eleven beds in it." "'hat's just right." said the traveller, -'1 take that room and engage all the beds il you please." The landlady, not expectinA hay more company for that night, and thinking thiat her guest might wish to be alone, conseni- ed that he should occupy the room. But no sooner had the wayfarer retired, than a large part% arrived and demaled lodj inga for the. night. The landlady told thetm she was sorry ht ill the rooms were engaged-true, there was one room with II beds in it and only one gentlrhdun; "We must go there, thenowe must have beds there." The party accordinl prosceeded to the "haiiber with tleu belfs and rapped; no answer was returned,; They essayed to open the dobr; but it 1ds locked. They shouted aloud but reLived no reply. At last driven to despeiatio, they determined upon bursting open thie door. They had r, sociier doie M, ihih they diqcovered every bed stead enipty.and all the eleven beds piled tip in the centre of the room with the traveller sound asleejb on their top. They arouseid hin w-ithi srjnta ditlicultyand demoanded what in the toild he wanted of all ihose beds?

From ihs P.iladephia Gaette.THE ANGEL'S WING.

-There is a Gerans tradition that wigna suidde n silence takes place in a comparfy,an angel nt that ionient makes a circuitimong them, and the first person hobreaks the silence is snpposed to have beentoueled by. he wing of the passing seraph.And why Aiosld wisdom smile at this?Are hot ihose perlect beings nigh.

To witness and to share our bliss.To hear and hush the secret sigh ?

Yea, they may Heaven's solace bring,Then scorn not thou, the Angel's Wing!Thou! who alone, thyself dost deem,A solitary in thy grief.-

List! soft as footfall of a dream,Comes one to bear the s%%eet relief,

And fled is all iby boarded care,The passing Seraph's Wing is there!

Thon, who. forgiven, dost possessThe penitent's intensenuelight,

When the dark-clnd of guilt's distressReveals to thee its edze of light.-

Think! as unhallowed tempests fly,Thy soul is touched, the Wing is nigh!

And thoni. of cotemplative moodWho dost at eve in wild woods stray.

Where notigh of this world may inturde,Where fancy migh's in others play,

And hearest the voice which zephyr fings,No! 'tis the rush of Angel Wi'gs.Dh, I have paused a space, as 'twere; -

Bewilderina thoughts to gather up,-To put aside the dranght of careAnd,taste of mind's exalted cup;

Nor knew what o'er my sotl could bringSuch calmness was the Seraph's Wing.When brooding tempteru cause me shame.And in its company of sin

My spirit st te--the Aigel ame,-Andlwep 'with wings the heart *hbin.

A nioment made its circuit there,And broke my silence into prayer.

I knelt beside my precious boy,.WhoIt went at childhoot's fiiry time,

MV hospe. my life. my hein's joy-Frotn Ihis to Love's tnclouded clime;

And thile around wept pit ying taeni,I joyed-the Angel touched me then!

Antid oh, when at my own lass hourThe world rece'des awd Ollies fly;Th.:t near me with supporlittr iowerMight plumesome herald of the sky-Andi while of victory sing,

Bear te awayon upward Wing! T.

From the Savannah Georgian.The old year passed with a sigh & Groan,As sigh and groan he might;.

For in his course full maRty a ondHath felt misfortune's blight.

And many a heart that hailed this morn,With gladness ani with glee.

Recalls hope's transient blossoms flownWith pain and tmisery.

Pale sickness track'd his manhood's path,And tempests his decline,

And Cotton fell from fifteen cents,(Weep ptlanrters')-sto nine...

From the South Caroliaan.We cordially, heartily approve or the

above nomination, and equally concur inall the sentiments so appropriately andjustly expressed in relation to it, by ourrespected contemporary of the CharlestonMercury. We hid expected. previous tothe session,And before hearing the naneof Col. Biel-ardbon, suggested, that Col.,Benj. T. Elmore would be a candidate,in accordance with the earnest wishes ofhis many friends; hut from tha mom,-ut weheard Col. Richardson's name ureed, to-gether with tie hbnorahle, and tots high-ly gratifying motives that prompted it; andthat Col. Elmore bad positively declinedto be, a candidate, in consequence of thepressing engageinentsof his private affiairsand cordially approved the nomination ofCol Richardson; we have entertained thetnost decidet approbation of that nbmina-tion, and confident that it would securethe general and hearty support of our po-litical friends, of either of the old Stateparties. So.far, this confidence has beenrully sustained. Not the slightest expres-sion of doubt or disapprohntion. has beenuttercd ine'or hearini, or that of any one

Richardson w ill-go into offis-e, not merely wtitlibt opposition, butwith the unanimous vote ofthe Sthte.

It niforils us great pleasure to add thefollowing responses front the Patriot andCoiurier. especiilly the hitter, on accountof its highly gratifying admission, that "ourold party feud is now thoroughly healed.""Blessed be the peace makers," and theirinitual and mpot appropriate and worthypeace-iffering We greatly. rejoice Atthismean- of hatisfying our respected Unionfriends und associates, that the hand offriendship extended to them from the firstmoment that the areat question of differ-ence was-honorably and amicably settled,has been thoroughlv -honest and incet-e.

commence to lay, the publication of theActs of the late session of the Legislatur.,and will endeavor to publish the whole, as

early asour limits will pertmit-believingthat it cannot fail to be desirable to thegreat body of our readers, especially asmost of these acts aM ofnifre thab ot-din-ary interest and importance. ,The firsone we publish tn-day, commonly calledthe Tax Act, contains twd new provioi--one. that all real estate out of the Parishes of St. Philip and St. Michael, shall bereturned on oath ofthe owners, aM the acinal valuet (9d excellent provision, ex-

The iax maypossibly be too high, ins propiortion. thoughwe know nt that it is so; & it is certainIyscarcely right to tax Brokers, & not Banmkers; but we hope that Bank stock, also.will h6 taxed, hereafter. 'Wily shouldit not?'The system of taxation in this State,

appears to us to* requiire~further revision,as being in .some respects snequmally andinjuioushy hurt hensomne.

Mr. .Calhouin's Land Bill. .introdttcedon leave last Friay, and which gave riseto a very violetnt flare up between .Mr.Culh'oitn .ansl Mr. Clay, was prisited io.day atnd I have obtamed a copy of .it? Itis a decided check mate to Mr. Cjn's andalthough reported the last sessin, prettytmuch in the shape it now standl&; it wasnot~pearticularly attedded to by.tt65 people,as it was then supposed Mr. Calhoun vasflat on his back.The first section of the. bill enaets that

all the public lands within the States ofAlabamia, Mississippi, Lousiana, Arkan-sas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan,with the exception ofsite'. for fortificamtionsarsenals, &c.,ushall, after the 20th ofJune1842 be ceded to the States within thelimita of which they lie, on the fbllowingterms:

First-That theStates shall J'assirrevo-cable acts, bindittg themselves to pay filiynar eenr. nf the sales ot...fsib....1ono

before the 1st ty of February of tachsucceeding year.

Secondily-That the tniqimuim rie,now established by .6aY, shall remtraih-il-changed till 30th June, 1842; bus a4ferthat period,. may bereduced to the follow-ing scaletAU lands that have been o'lredfor stlv

and remain unsold ten years preceding the30th June, may be reduced to a price not.less than a dollaj- the acre.Alh hai remain unsold 15 years,'to.bo

reduced to75 ets.AU that.have been offered fo' alei 20

years and rentain unsold 50 ets. --

All that remain unsold 2-5 years, 25 ect.All that remain unsold 30 years, shall

be ceded immediately to the:.Slates inwhich they are situatedit

Provided, that all lands which reilainunisold afler having been offered at publicsale for ten years, and which do not comeunder the foregoing provisions, -shall -besubject lb the Orovisions or graduation andnession, at the respective periods of 10,15,20, 25 and 30 years after the sale, com-mencing frino the bpiration of ten year.after they had bech olietd for. sale.Thirdly-The lands are to be subject to

the sane subdivisions, in sale and survey,that they now are, inclading the same res-ervatione; and are to be offered for sale bythe States, for cash only. Lands that re-main unsold after having been -exposed-forsale, shall be subject to private entry, forcash only.As soon an the President of the U. S. is

informed oflicially of the acceptancb ofanyState of the conditions expressed in thebill, lie is to withdraw the public laud-of-fices, and surrender tiie lands.These are the leading featured of the

hill, and it will undoubtely pass, andsecure'to Mr. Calhouni, as d cahdidatefor the presidency, after Van Buren'saecond term, the electoral vote-of nineStates- already' in existence, and theStates of Wisconsin, Florida and Iowa,that are to be admitted into the Union be-fore the election of the successor.This bill will, beyond all doubt, produe

much sensation throughout the Uniub.

MAKING UP FOR LOST TIMg.A traveller in Missouri, arrived weary

eleven beds in it.""'hat's just right." said the traveller,-'1 take that room and engage all the

beds il you please."The landlady, not expectinA hay more

company for that night, and thinking thiather guest might wish to be alone, conseni-ed that he should occupy the room. Butno sooner had the wayfarer retired, thana large part% arrived and demaled lodjinga for the. night. The landlady toldthetm she was sorry ht ill the rooms wereengaged-true, there was one room withII beds in it and only one gentlrhdun;"We must go there, thenowe musthave beds there." The party accordinlprosceeded to the "haiiber with tleu belfsand rapped; no answer was returned,;They essayed to open the dobr; but it 1dslocked. They shouted aloud but reLivedno reply. At last driven to despeiatio,they determined upon bursting open thiedoor.
