A s the boat neared the shore, they found it ob structed b y a considerable quantity of ice, which the the current had deposited there; and (hey were more particularly annoyed by several large floes, the rotary motion o f which threatened de struction to their little craft. Keeping, therefore, as far as possible to windward of tbe fixed ice, and threading their way as well as they were able among the floating masses, they coasted along the shore in search of some spot where they might land. T h e coast, o f which they o f course knew nothing more tlian that it must be that of the con tinent, or some island on the west side o f the streights, was divided by a sound or inlet, info vvhiJli a current set at the rate o f four or live miles an hour. W h en they had drifted with it for two ir three, hours, they came to a narrower part o f the Iianncl, which was there not above live or six miles acros.s; and finding that the icc had totally disappeared, they closed in with the land, looking anxiously for some creek, by which they might reach the beach without danger from the shoals that guarded it.

Flora, evidently delighted with the anticipated ex pedition, joined in the request. There was some thing forced in the captain’s manner, an iJl-coni led embarrassment, which created undefined ! A small troop of deer, that had apparently ■posing in the shade behind the low walls, sprang up at their approach, and, after trotting off to the disianco of a few yards, turned round and gazed quietly at the intruders. T h e y had clearly never felt the tyranny o f man, or been taught to shun him ; but now looked at his image as before three broken bone-headed ai L Frank’s I F mind.

Here were a squadron o f armed vessels in full sail, so distinctly seen that the very outline o f the spars, ropes and sails seemed perfectly defined to the ey e ; there the coast appeared to bo clothed with a vast forest, whose naked branches were so accurately represented, that the eye, de ceived by the imagination, sought to catch their motion swinging in the breeze, or to discover some living inhabitant o f the frozen forest. T h e aurora lorealis, whose brilliant bodies of light arc descri- created H e 1 ( lamy, who, after meeting the expression oi B for a moment with a glance of irresolute impu- nce, at length fairly turned aside in confusion. Arundel could not help thinking there was some thing more in this than the mere quailing o f a base mind before one conscious of rectitude; and deter mining to watch carefully the movements of the captain, he briefly assented to join the party. T w o or three hatchets, some bundles o f needles and a few other iron or steel implements, together with some straps o f beads, were placed in the boat, for the purpose, as it was pretended, of being ex changed with the natives, should they fall in with t, for moose-teeth, whalebone or furs, and in a were advancing to the shore “ Villain ! if you do not k now that, you know this—my weapon is within half a score o f paces of your heart.” A sFrank spoke, he levelled his gun, and stood looking along the barrel with his finger on the trigger. “ \Vou are tt prompt young fellow, Mr. Arundel, and 1 like youi all the better for it,” said tho smug gler, looking with an unquailing eye at the dark muzzle ofthe gun ; “ I accept your conditions at once.” Frank depressed the weapon, and let it down to half-cock. “ And now.

Sometimes they seemed to flutter across the whole heavens, like innumerable banners agitatef the wind. Sometimes, assuming more definite z arms, they trod a sprightly measure on the span gled floor of the sky, looking like the radiant forms o f angels sporting in the elements. But though the lights o f the “ northern morning” had disap peared, they had occasional glimpses o f other ce lestial phenomena of equal interest. Before the sun skirted the horizon, he was sometimes seen sur rounded by halos, the glowing concentric circles of which seemed like so many infant rainbows coiled up in rest near their parent luminary; while par helia or mock-suns, sometimes to the number of four or five^shone in different quarters o f the fir- o f the sky w brilliancy; b lut the sun at his rising and set ting,while the opposite parts o f the heavens glowed w ith deep purple, gradually as it ascended, becom in g softer, clearer, and more rosy, till it faded away in a blush-color of the most exquisite delicacy. It is not to be imagined, however, that the con templation of these beautiful celestial appearances was constantly or even frequently permitted. Fogs sometimes darkened the air, brash ice was fre- '■quently their only prospect, and the horrible dis cord o f the bustling mariners poling, or towing, or warping the ship through ice, the only audible sound. Towards the middle o f June, however, the weather became more steady and clear. Flora had entirely recovered her health and strength, and began to find that in the society o f a cultivated and courteous friend, even the cabin o f a whaler and the horrors of the polar seas were perfectly tolerable. [It is not surprising that an ardent affection should arise betw.een these two kindred spirits.] One fine sunny day,’towards the end of June, Arundel, was walking alone on the quarter-deck, ruminating on the strange destiny which had dri ven him into the desolate scenes which surrounded him, and now and then stopping in his walk to watch the manoeuvres o f a flock o f sca-hirds which were skimming the waters at a little distance from the ship. A small iceberg, to which the Labrador any, for moose-teeth, wha short time the party were with all the speed with could impel the boat. Arundel sat silent during 'as somewhat surprised that, 1 r had said, the whole of thos sen taken from the wreck of 1 icir boat’s company. Bellan ^ raliato him self with Flora, though iboured under some unaccountable embarrass- lent. T h e man who pulled the bow-oar, namely Black Bill (as Joe had called him) looked out fre quently from beneath his bushy overhanging brows with an expression which Arundel in vain attemp ted to decipher. Thus they reached the mouth of the narrow inlot, and pulled along its indented shores for a considerable distance without perceiv ing any traces of inhabitants. A t length they landed, and after partaking of some refreshment, Captain Bellamy proposed to Mr. Arundel that they should divide into two parties, ono o f which should penetrate a few miles inland in search of game, while the other pulled along the shores o f the inlet, that being the most likely way of falling in with the Esquimaux. Arundel had formed his determination ; he readily assented to tho proposi tion, and with every appearance of cheerfulness left. Flora under the care of Bellamy and four o f the seamen, while he himself with the other two struck into the country. T h ey had not proceeded a mile before arriving at the entrance of a deep rocky ravine, which seemed to open out at the far ther end on the shores of the inlet, Arundel des patched one of the seamen round the rocks, preten ding that he would in that way be more likely to 10 was undel’s as much in my hands as mine in yours, you sec.

A sm anchor, fixed in the sand, confined the boat witl a few yards of the shore. Suddenly a scream was heard issuing from behind the opposite projection of the rocks which enclosed the little haven, and a few moments after.

Frank instantly threw do\vn his gun andlran to Flora, whom, with all thespcci! which his contending emotions would permit, he was presently engaged in restoring to animation.

A Iflock of wild ducks sprang out of a small piece of water enclosed by the scanty brushwood, and the seaman firing brought two or three down, which, laying his gun on the ground, he ran to secure. Arundel seized the opportunity when he was thus engaged, to conceal the gun, and when the seaman retur ned with the birds he had shot, he found himself disarmed, and a loaded fowling-piece levelled at him at the distance of a dozen yards. “ \William B light!” said Arundel, speaking slow ly and sternly, “ your fife has been in my hands be fore, and 1 saved it, it was my duty; it is again in my hands, and 1 shall consider it equally my duty to destroy it, should it be necessary for the preser in his body. “ Easy, captain, easy! son,” said Bill, who had icd, and was display o f resolution ; then his hand from his breast, li was moored, flanked by floating fields of salt-water ice, almost shut out the view to seaward, while, between the ship and the shore, the sea was per fectly clear and smooth.

If a provision of this sort Le hot in direct cOit-i travenlionof the Constitution o f the United States, it is not easily reconciled with the spirit of that instrument. Tlie power of establishing an uni form rule o f naturalization, is vested by the Con stitution, in Congress. T h a t power is, from the nature of the case exclusive ; there could be no such thing as uniformity, if a concurrent authority were to be e.xerciscd by the States. By the acts of Congress, paped in pursuance of this authority, a continued residence of five years is required before an alien can be naturalized, and thus become a cit izen of tile United S lates ; and the reason on which this law is founded, is quite apparent ; it was de signed to prevent aliens from being admitted to the exercise of political power, before they had been resident in the country long enough to acquire llic feelings and sympathies o f citizens. The provision in the Constitution of Michigan contravenes the provision of the Constitution and the laws of tlic United States, because it prescribes a form of naturalization, by force which an alien' may be admitted to tlie exercise of political power, and thus become a citizen, before he has in any res pect complied with the conditions o f citizenship as prescribed by that Constitution and those laws. Lie is to be entitled to vote a t all elections, and tlms to become an elector of Reprcscntallve.s, and in directly o f Senators, in the Congress of the United States. If one iverc called upon to define the term citizenship,-hc could, liardly do it belter than by- describing it as consisting in the posse-ssiqn of these political lights and privileges. It is 110 doubt competent for the State authorities lo_admit aliens to the enio3'ment of certain private rights j but there is abroad distinction between these and those political rights, by the possession o f which he is placed on the same footing with regard to political power and influence, as those who are in tended by the term citizens. Nor is there any dif ference in principle between an net o f State Jcgls- islation inconsistent with the Federal Constitution, and the ii\icorporniion of a provision \wjiich is Jia- l)lc to th e sa m e o b jection in th e C o n s t itu ti o n o f a- State. T h e one may be overruled by the judicial power o f the Union, and the other by Congress.
