FRIDAY. FEBRUARY V1M3.
ITMEVTBV -flilfl HKKSIIJENT,
Byaut with the w'vice and content of the Ssenate.
Silvester Brown, of Newbern, to be Col
lector of the Customs and Inspector of the
Revenue for the Port of Occacoke, in the State
of North Carolina, in the place of Joshua
Tayloe, whose commission expired 01 the 10th
of January last.
The place of the late incumbent could not
have been better supplied, and it affords us
pleasure to add that such is the opinion of our
citizens generally.
Extract of a letter from the Hon. J. Speight
to the Editor of: the Sentinel, dated
Washinjot N, Feb. K, 1833.
I am happy to Inform you, and through you
my friends in Newbern and Beaufdr, that the

Our readers are referred to the preceding
page for an account of the late extraordinary
movement in the United. States Senate on the
Tarilf question. It will bt seen that Mr. t 'lay,
the Author of the Ajnerican System, and Mr.

United States, purporting to be laws laying duties
and imports on the importation of foreign commodi
ties," shall be rescinded, or at least its operations sus
pender!, until the close of the first session of the next
Congress- In consequence of the information derived
from Governor Hayne at the interview, I yesterday
addressed to him the letter of which a copy is here
with enclosed (No. I,) and was this morning honored
with an answer from the Governor, enclosing a let
ter to him from the- President of the Convention of
the people of South Carolina, of which-copies are al
so enclosed (Nos. 2 and 3.) You will, I doubt not,
think it proper to lay these papers immediately be
fore the two Houses of Assembly. The Convention
of South Carolina, ivill in a very few days be railed
by the President to re-assemble, in order that the res
olutions and request ofthe General Assembly of Vir
ginia may be submitted to its consideration, and that
that body may determine whether, and to what, ex
tent, the request ol the General Assembly shall be
complied with. But considerations of convenience
will necessarily postpone the meeting ofthe Conven
tion, until about the 2 1 Monday in March.
I pray you to ascertain from the General Assembly,
in the manner you may think best, whether it will he
its pleasure that I shall remain here, and attend the
Session ofthe Convention ; as to which, I hope it will
give me. its instructions according'to its own sense of
public ultilkv, without regard to its personal conveni
ence. I shall certainly pmiong'my 6tay in this State, I
until I receive an answer Irom you, employed in pro-,
moting by dl proper means in my power, the purposes
for which I was sent hither.
It is proper I should say, that the determination to
re-assemM the Convention of this State, is to be at
trihuted entirely to the sense entertained by the Gov
ernor, anl by the President ofthis Convention ol' what
is due to the Irion ly intercession of Virginia.

Washington, Feb. 16. "
The election for Printer to the House of Represen
tatives, took place yesterday, when on the fou teenth
ballot, Gales & Seaton proved to be the successful
candidates. They received a vote of 99, being the
exact Tiunber necessarv to constitute a majority. Mr.
Blair's vote was 93 or 94 : but the decision can scarce
ly be considered as a criterion ol the strength of par
ties by those who know that, at the very least, there
were seven members ofthe House, and members too,
triendly to the administration, who were confined at
home by sickness. Some persons there are who will
jump at conclusions; but those who reflect, will on
the other hand, await the course of events, and lorm
their judgments accordingly. In saying this, let it
not be supposed that I mean those who in the words
of Cromwell, were "waiters on Providence" for the
good things which Providence might award to them ;
but those who estimate the motives that actuate and
the principles that guide, and who have as the only
object in view the good of our common country. I
know not whether you ,have been a resident in this
city, (temporary or for a time as the Philosopher eays
in the play) but if so, you md be well aware that

The U. S. sloop of war Vincenncs, a x f u f your correspondent. So that they laugh,
Far from the haunts, and cares of busy men,
There silence reigns unbroken through the day;
Save when the dove, or solitary wren, '
Sends to the list'ning ear, some lovely lay,
A group of ancient plum-trees flourish there,
And none can tell the time they date their birth ;
Their blossoms waste their fragrance in the airj
And drop unnoticed on the lap of earth.
Beneath those trees, a little hillock shows
It's mildest head, scarce raised above the ground;
And o'er it's top, luxuriant wild-grass grows,
And from the heedless eye, conceals the motincf.
Here lies an outcast, in Uis lowly bed,
No more by labours, or by grief opprest;
He sleeps the quiet slumber of the dead,
Nor heeds the damp clod resting on his breast.
No gentle hand has placed the rose-tree near,
To spread it's bloom, and shadow o'er his head ;
No one has sighed, or shed a friendly tear,
To nurse the wild-grass, growing on his bed
No voice laments his melancholy lot,
Save when the zephyr, breaking from it's goal,
In fitful gusts, comes sweeping o'er the spot,
And gives a sigh for his departed soul.
Then when the plum-trees, and the wild grass-wave,
And irom the earth, the light begins to fade;
The whip-poor-will, stands near the lonely grave,
And sings a requiem, to the outcasts shade.
Long may the plum treeso'er UUn shed their bloom,
And may the zephyr, often sweeping paV
. Sigh, (as it sports upon his lowly tomb,) . .
"Sweet be the slumbers oi tne p -
prominent actors on the public stage."
