Tho White Pilgrim.
icnme to llie place whero the White I'ilgrim lay.
And pensive y stood by his tomb:
Wh m in a low whisper, I heard something say
" How sweetly I eleep here alone.-"
The tempest may howl and tbelo id thunder roar.
And gathering storms may arise ;
Yet calm we my Feeli igs, at test Is my soul,
The tears are all wiped from my eyes,
Tlie cause of my Master compelled me From home.
I bid toy Companion Farewell;
1 left my iw - . i hii iren who For meaow mourn.
In a far distant region to dwelt.
\ wandered ao exile, a Granger below,
To publish salvation abroad ;
Tiie tramp ofthe gasp d end tavoring to blow,
Inviting poor sinners to God.
But -vlieiinuoagsir.vigi'r-, and Far from my home,
Noki idred or relatives nigh.
I met thecont gioo and sank* to the tomb,
My spirit to mansions on high.
Go tci! my companion ami children most dear
To weep not ForJo-epb, though gone;
The name band that led me through scenes dark
and drear,
Has kindly assisted me home.
Tin*: a\.v,vi:u.
I called at the home ofthe mourner below,
I e it 'red the m insion of grief;
The tear.- of deep sorrow most freely did flow,
I tried, but could give no relief.
Th ire sat a lone widow, dejected and sad,
By italic tion an I sorrow oppr istj ■ I j
A vi ii uv wer i her children iu mo irniog arrayed,
And si :1m were escnpin ; each breast.
I sp >lfe to the widow concerning her grief,
I ask; I her the cause ofher wo.*,
And why there was nothing to give her relief,
Or sooth her de -p Borr >w below.
She looked at her children, and theu upon me,
That look I c v.i never forget :
More eloquent far than a seraph could be,
It spoke ofthe trials Bhe met..
But why should I mourn nr feel to complain,
Or ilii dc iiml my fortune is hard ;
Hera I me   willi aiil-ction, bis timely his gain.
He has entered the joy of ids Lord,

last foe,
Ho,? conquered, and now Ib ut rest.

Wm desolate and dull.

Ifow autumn's chilling winds have swept
The leaf-crowned forest through1;
How winter's reien hath come and gone—
Dark reign of storm and strife—
And how the smiling spring hath warmed
The pale flowers back to life.

raonialB were presented by Calhoun. Benbam tSscj.,
in a iVw appropriate and eloquent remarks. On
the conclusion of Jit*. Benhara's remarks, which
were' listened to with great attention, Col. Washington arose, amidst great applause, and made the
following feeling and admirable reply :
I thank yon, genlienun, for these beautiful testimonials of your frk'i-'n.sLiip, and at the same time
I tender to you my acluiowled^em.mis for the Skittering terms iii which they ha*?e peeil presented. 1

Sadly we talk of the pleasant hour's,""
The dreams and the fancies of yore.
We think of the vision^ th at rose on  our sight
And gladdened our life's young days-
Anil know how those crimson hue:l virions fled,
—Leaving sadness and doubt in their place.
And thus*as we walk in fhe pleasant halls,
Or sit In the evening gleam —
Sadly we think of those dear-loved ones
Who arc yet far distant from home.
Wc know how their brave hearts beat with hope.
Wa remember the light in their eyes.
As they gaily spoke of their future days-
How proudly they strove for the prize.
Have their hopes fled with the passing years,
And thoir eyes grown sad and dim ?
Are Lhe voices that spoke in early days
Unheard in the world's wild din '.'
Listen, ye wanderer?;, afar from our sight,
Home whispers sweetly to yon-
Soft o'er the sea sounds its soothing voice
Ever so -steadfast aud true.
Come with the wind?! from that distant shore—■
Come with the evening shade,
Come while we wait, ere we love uo more,
Come ere these new hopes fade.
Joy and thanksgiving will fill our own heart!?,
Love weave its pleasant charms—
Come, thim, while Home awhile yet remains.
Gome to our waiting arms.

Were I standing before you upon the eve of a
final departure from your shores—were it my intention " to paddle iny ea:)ou': upon otk"r waters than
those of California, and maid other scones, and in
other lamds, io form new uud strange associations ;
grute/ul as wouhl be ttwse mftBuentoes, tiiey could
not fail to awaken painful reflections. Skillfully
wrought, and- beautiful to the eyo, as they are, I
could not hut look upou them as the mat -"hi!
emblems of broken ties and severed friendships,
l could not divest my mind of the thought that, in
view of the uncertainties and viels-ritade!' Of life.
I had parted witb the majority of you at least, to
meet no more forever.
As my absence, however, will be merely temporary. I am spared sueh puiiifu! roh'ctious. I can
now regard these tokens an tlie embodied evidences
ot priced friendships which I have left for but a
brief period in the State of my adoption, and whioh
1 hope to renew ejei long by personal presence. I
will bear them with me to my native land—tiie
Old Dominion, whom T am proud to recognise as
my mother—where I am assured they will elicit
for me '.v.;vm congratulations from many a friendly
near!.
Another reflection, gentlemen, greatly enhances
their value to me. I Suppose that [ may classify
myself as '' one of tho oldest inhahitants" of this
cur youngest State of the confederacy—my citl-
/•.enship dating fro-n tliat celebrated pioneer epoch
of ISiik In the summer Of that year, after a
tedious trip across the plains. T arrived with many
another adventurer to this then almo-t unknown
land. During the period since, marital with wonderful changes in ail the departments of social and
political development,,! have been lor* a larger
portion of tiie time somewhat prominently before
the public. As the Editor of two leading demo-
crulie dailies—tlie State Journal and Tii.scs ami
Trcmcrljii—ithiisljeen my ibrtune to shiver many
a lance, uot only with the old enemy of fhe democracy, the wjjlifS, and its modem enemy, fhe Know-
Nothings, but at tiie same time, and wilh perhaps
mere emhiltered warfare, witii men and factions of
my own party. Under those circumsfances^oming
us these testimonials do, from friends without
distinction of parties or divisions, may I not tt-
gard them as*e*vidence3 that in the heat of partisan
conflict, 1 have not forgotten 'he courtesies oi gentlemanly discussion*; Muy I not receive them as
conkrmaflons that I have not sought to accomplish
■other than honorable ends by the use of honorable
means?    .

The iVhig parly nol yet deail.—A recent decision before alegal tribunal, in Montgomery county, Ohio, maintains that the Whig party is uot yet
dead, but ileepetb.
The Whig Central Committee of tliat place, was
luedfor expenses incurred in the campaign of 1852,
The defence set up was, that the Whig party had
■' gone uuder," and had no mere a nam:* «or focal
habitation; ahd'that no administrator bad beep
appointed to take charge of the effects of the deceased, whioh consisted chiefly of some spare timber for platforms, lie. the defendant, should feel
it his duty however, when such executor was appointed, in view ot the high esteem and respect he
had alivayi lelt for the party, to recommend the
payment of the plaintiffs bill. Tlie Court overruled lbe plea of defendant, deciding that fhe pur-
ty was still in the land of the living, and that ths
defendant, Eta the representative of said party should
"fork over."

JAPAN *DU>LOBIAOT>
Tiie ratlfloatlon of a treaty, the terms of which
have heen agreed upou between iiie "Governments
of eivili/.fjd nations) is a merely formal affair, and
takes m> time and gives no trouble in tbe doing.
Nut so. however, wilh our new iriends the Japanese, as we learn from Captain H. II, Aiiunis, \\ S.
X., who bas just returned from his voyage to
■:' our treaty with than nation. Capt. Adam-- did not gjo to Jeddo, but landed Kt Himodu, one of the ports reserved for American vessels by   tbe   :■:'::■; of the treaty, which   he
bore with him.    He arrived no the first of Febro:
ary lest, and Immediately wrote to the Governor
stating the object ofhis visit.
An answer arrived in due time, e\-pr;sslm;- surprise at the speedy re-turn ol the treaty, and calling attention to a clause which provided tbatrati-
'■.'.' it x -j'-'r..'d until ■• after eighteen uiuuihs,*" from the da'e of agreement as bo Its
terms. Bnt in the American copy of the treaty,
fhe phrase was plainly "within eighteen months,"
although, aa it appeared ou o;:um:nafi.on iu the
Japanese copy it was us p-ninly "cificr eighteen
months.'' This stvange diserep mev m :■' ■ loine
trouble, as the Japanese "suspected a Vankoo irlek,
aud were mni'vellousiy fearful of bring " i.keu
in."    But tills  difficulty was soon arranged, ouly,
however, to be followed by others.
it was  oluected  hy the  (Aivi-fAO?  Esawa Metni
Saki Nokami (all the high offlobre have this title,
Nokami), that nb rat.flcatiou Wii needed, and In
deed, that raiificiit-iou would he but the i
into anew agreement. Tids muy have been be

by their pledges when once given. Without formal
confirmation, or it nay hare been a little dipio-

The point wr,s suoeessfnlly dh.mssou aud. explained on the part of Captain Alums, and ut

nor himself. "Wheu sittings were first opened they
made their first joint in high dudgeon because the
American commissioner in asking for the i
of the Emperor, called him ffitsbo. This ihey refused to recognize as his title,—saying thai il was
a vulgar slang word, and that the Emperor wus
called Tan JGozu. by Japanese gentiem,::;.
Wheilt howwer-j the courteous strangers asked
fbr the signature oi the Tde Koeri, all the Noha-
mis replied and objected that Ids great lordshli:
could not sign the treaty : it was out of AH precedent ; it would add no value tothe treaty1*; tbat
the Tae Kocn had really no power In the Japanese government, which was vested in a cabinet
council of six. chosen by ihe twenty-seven gvund-i's
cf the Empire from their own number; and that
in this council was vested all the power to make
and ratify treaties.
To this Capt. Adams replied by pointing out the
provision in the treaty, that It should fie signed by
the President of the United States and tlm Emperor of Japan, and showing ihe President's signature ; and ae lhe iuslrument also bore the sign
manual of Mr. Secretary klarcy, tlie captain suj
gesled that to balance this the signatures of tl
raembera-rfif the Council of Six should also appear
with that of iheir Emperor Padding quietly, that
if these ware not promptly forthcoming he should
take his ship to Jeddo. On this the point was
yielded hmidsomelT. ike treaty was sent to Jeddo
instead ofthe ship, and soon reluruai with the
signature of tiie £*&«' Keen nod his Grum! Council
of Six, the name of lhe famier being unreadable
and unutterable by Anglo-Saxon organs.
Thus was concluded this first succes Fu! i irl

withoot pausing a momeiiC piebed upa handfulof
the nuts, and pulsed on, She had only gone a few
steps', whensheappeared tohesitate, ami then fpiick-
iy turned and replaced lhe nuts on the stand from
I i:'o q them, With a look of satisfaction, and --ve thought u lighter step, she darted
awaj. and at the corner of ihe next eouare joined
