The noonday tun with aDftry frown, Flings fierce his fiery vengeance down, And each green thing grows sere and brown Beneath his scorching eye. The herds have left the burning glade, And couched within the friendly shade, A giant oak's tall branohes made, They all supinely lie. No more below yon si jping hill, I heard the music of the rill That served to turn ihc clacking mill ; lis pebbled bed is dry. The birds all hide with drooping wings. XSo voice is neara ot living things, Sav. whc. wi;h .,.,:- clearness ring. The eaiblrd's oevish crv ' 'ec 'neaih yon boundless arh of blue, What darkling clouds upspring to view, And rush like phanihom chargers through Their trackless path on high ! And hark ! the ikunder's rumbling car Sounds through the wide expanse afar ! The proud earth ticmbles 'neaih ihc jar : The Storm-god rules the sky. And now o'er fields of drooping grain In copious floods descends the rain Or pattering on ihe parched plain, Revives the thirsting ground. At last ihc shower has passed away, Again bursis forth the god of day, Timing the clouds wi h heavenly ray That fJiirt the horizon's b'liim! The llowcrs shine fonh in fresher hue ; The joyous birds their sons renew : Its pebbled track 'he stream runs ihruugh Swilt whirls ihe mill weel round. Now ihc reiii ing g d of day Flings o'er the scene his faiewell raj ; Now sinks to rest -and evening gray, In silence icigns profound. from the Alabama Journal. LAMENT.

(continued) The slave question is one which has crea created much angry feeling in Congress, and in the country, and is becoming the most per plexing question in the government. Not withstanding the right to that species of prop eity secured by the constitution to the stave Stales when they entered into, and helped to foi tn the Union, till vul-h 0 spirit of inlermed liug on the j,iirt of lhe free Slates has grown up '.'iicouroged by so foimidable nn array of strength, passing over the bounds of lhe con stitution, and entrenching ilself behind the plea of religion : threatening to refuse that justice; todistuib that general tranquility ; to weaken ihni common defence ; to arrest that general welfare, and destroy instead of securing to our posteiity lhe bWsings of that liheitj which we were to eoioy under that more perfect Union which the preamble j . ...

While on thc other hand I have thought that it was rather a blessing, boih to lhe peculiar situation of the country and to the Slaves them'sejfcs. Without such slaves as were adapted fl 0 hot climate and the marshy lands of the South, a great pottion of our moa fertile lands, now yielding one half of tbe productions of the Southern Sutes, would go uncultivated. It would be impos sible to get white men or free Inbot to work in ihediiches of our rice fields, or to woik on tfio sugar plantations on the Miesiea'PP' River.

I Being then in the quiet and peaceable pos session and enjoyment of this species of prop erty, secured lo us by all the sanctity ol con stitutional rights, hnsany man or set ol men, or has even the Congress of the United States the ri.lit to interfere with t, only under such j rules, as are laid down in constitution itself j The constitution provides that when two I thirds of both Houses ol Congress deeming j i nerrssnrv. or two thirds of the States may i piopose amendments to ine luoaiiiuwuu, anu I when ratified by three foruths of the States, ns they may see fit. shall be valid as a part of inn constitution. In this way effected. I acknowledge the rig l ference, but in no other way. If they can j amend the constitution in the manner requir j ed 10 effl ct their purpose, then Id it be done. , This course would certainly look much more manly I acknowledge no right to pilition fur an open violation of the constitution. It ' is to require the members to commit the worst ol perjury. The first and greatest oUigntion ola Representative is that he swears to sup port (not to violate; the constitution, anil' ... , , should do so. Any petition to do the laller 1 should be kicked out ol Longress, ns an in- ! suit 10 the body. Would il be legitimate lo l""uul ' ""' ": "c r i j rr .U- head ofthe President 7 Would such a pet, - lion be received; for to receive it would betodis - r.iH it. propriety Orta.ely not.

If the. Riievarice complained of conflicts , with the constitution, then the petition should : be lo nmmd it. I The right of the petition to abolish slavery : in the States, I believe, has never been claim j ed. But in my opinion it might ns well be . claimed as the right to abolish it in the Terri ' torirs, or that a State shall not be received in to the Union, but upon the condition thai sla very ihould not be tolerated therein.

As to the Public Iitnds, which is also a very interesting subject to ine I'eopie. 11 is my opinion, thnt that portion of ihein which was owned bv the different Colonics, when . . j ..... forming the government, should hnvo been , given buck to the Sutes, all shining alike,! -Jter pay ing the debt, for which they were conditionally ctd d to the genernl govern-! r. - mem. 1 nat portion ol iium i.icn nas oetn sinc(. purchased by the Cited Slates, appears ! to stjnd on a different footing, nnd is a sub 'jeet upon which I have not beMOwtd enough j refl, ction to form my mind conclusively 1 ; think, however, it is a very irregular and , uncertain way of ascertaining or ruism,' rev - ; r nuc. Ihe revenue Hum the salo of the I niiblic lunds. has varied fiom twtnly-four millions ol dollars, in 1836, to seven mil lions, in 1 837 or 8; nnd now and for some years past it has fallen down to fiom two lo four millions. This shows that no certain calculations could be based upon the revtnue to be derived from such a source. And ns it is necessary, in laying our impost duties both to protect our ovn industry, and lo use such firotiction ns an arm of defence against sirui ar duties laid by a foreign country, produ cing from these causes at oil umis a more ample ond steady revenue. It may be a n,fcIfc;r,fi;Whpralhi?VilfiiV.,fjOM..SiatM be better promoted by a cession of all the nnblie ands to the Slates, to be divided be- twetn nnd regulatid by them. Gen.
