ELEGANT EXTRACT. ,
From an Oration delivered on the 4th of March

—By JOHN D. BURK, Esq.-
4ft er taking a concise view of events, from the fet
tiemeut of America down to the commencement
of her Independence ; and dejertbing, in glowing
colors, the profound canning of the aristocratic
partv, to bring us again into bondage, he pro.
ceeds,.
..„.." The fourth grand epoch rises to my view
lin the unclouded majelty oPuie morning : a sage,
long pr it.fed in virtue, and whafe foul was ani
; m-ted by a larger marc of the ztherial fiie, was
Icalled oh to repair the mifehtets, which bis pre
decelfor had occasioned ; Thomas Jetferfon, the
author of the declaration of independence, the
energetic champ'on of the moral and" physical
productions othis counts againU the precipitate
charges of Raynal and Buffon ; Thomas jedet son,
whole udine /fniates a boundless range of deep
: etegarf knowledge, of aßive benevolence and
, philanthropic, >t:ochofen to focceed the enlogift
ot the Bri di' form of government ; the pretended
delendei ot the om-rican< onHitution.
“I torn th d:1,1 t from those times of frantic
tyranny to repT my wear c nd indignant spirit
on clidfacF s r an in ever; /real and noble qnali
ficatum.- Mi imagination Ladens with gladness
from this . e c ry and conuordefs midnight to
sport 01,1: j the solar Icon ol ited°rn ;to tatte
the fweetneC and fragrance ot Elyfinm. The
divine vilions ofthe poets are embodied in my
light: 1 lel they are not emp< blessings which
Ithey had prmnifed us in their immortal songs.
1" Sacred spirits, who in the miJlt 01 dungeons
! and of chains, attuned tour harps in pr^ife of
heaven-born liberty, look down on our Republic
and rejoice.
“ The unaffected simplicity and fanftity of
primeval manners is realised in the conduct of our
governors ; um people enjoy the plenty & fecuri
ty of the gohdn age. The reforming spirit,
; which has produced those blessings, is dill in roo
-Ilion ; hr treads with the firm tteps of philofopby
in hsto,r over the earth, Jhaking thrones and
eledrifying nati ns. His hep is flow, because be
has inceffiitl, to combat the obstinacy of ignor
ance and the intolerance of superstition ; but he
I holds on his way in a regular and fleady peace,
' directed by the torch of science."
