AMERICAN POLITY.

'COLUSI3Ifis
ta/umbla's-shores are wild and wide,
Columbia's hills are high I
And rsi :Oy planted sideby aide,
Her forests meet the eye.
But narrow -trust those abuses be mad.,
And low Columbia's hills;
And low her stictent rarest, laid, '
Ere freedom leaves her Cletus :'
Fortis the land, where, rude and wild,
hhe played her gambols when a child.
And deep and wide her streams that low
Impetuous to the tide.:
.And thick and green the laurels grow
On every *river's side.
But shonld a transatlantic host
Pollute her waters fair,
We'll meet theta on the rocky coast,
And gather laurels there:
Vor oh I Columbia's sons ate brave,
AO free as Ocean's wildest wave.
The gale that wavelter mountain pine,
Ate fragrant and serest :
And never clearer sun did shines
Than lights her valleys green.
• But squad must those brei•zes blow,
That sun must set in gore,
Lre footsteps ni.a ioreign sue
• Imprint Columbia's .hare,
for oh; her sons are brave and free ;
Their breasts brat high with hlwrtY
•
For arming boldest cutrassitr,
We've niimo or s.ti :big worth,
Fur swoni and buckler, spur and spear,
Embowell'd in 'lw earth.
For ere Columbia'• sous resign
'I he boon their fathers won,
The ptilish'il ore front every mine
1.41ia1l glitter in the sun :
For blight's the blade, and sharp the spear
Which Freedom's suns to battle bear!
Let Britain boast the deeds she's done.;
Mislay her %typifies bright.;
And eoun't her laurels bravely woe
in well-contested tight.
Columbia can a ban arras,
Will wrest the laurel wreath;
With truer rye and steadier hat.d,
Wilt strike the blow of death.
• for whether on the land or sea,
Columbia's fight is victory !
Let France iu Wood thro' Europe wade,
And iu her frantic mead,
In civil discord draw the blade
.•tn.l spill her children's blood.
Too dear the skill in arms is bought,
Where kindred life.blood tiows,
5111:' are only taught.
To tiiittitch. o'er ilicr ine+:
then w conikrt, soothe and save,
'1 he fe.lirgs of the cowl:lced heave.
Thin let Colombia% r.vle soar,
i‘ nil bear her bantii: ht=lt ;
thumfer tram her dexter pour,
And :tom her eye.
And when she sets from realms above,
1 be soon: of oar is Tent ;
lake the w.:lfleue dove,
'1 hr olive i•rsoc:i ;res. :
And tbvu w!Il be-uty's Wool divine
The ueeer-failing wre..th entwine!

oz-Panc.—Yesterday afternoon this delightful
and f tshitneible proment de was crowded with ele.
g..ntly dress d company. Nothing, however, could
torn out noire unpropitious than did the.weatber.
About four o'clock, a. no a hurricane came on which
threw ail rat; ks, sexes. and conditions into the greatest
tianfusioli ; the retreat was effected in the utmost dis-
order ; the p.-Jestrians Oa* to tl.eir heels. and skut.
tied off in every di section, through whom the era-
trjous charged with little regard to personal conse-
quences ; the cot ps of tilburies shove foul of each
other in various directions; while the harouche and
lanalaulet parties were severely pelted with small shot
d hail, betorwtherceuld be screwed up into security
from a more general assault by the heavy rain which
succeeded; in short, so general a discomfiture was
bcarcely ever experienced an the coin se ot a Sunday's
causpaign. Among othemconspicuous in the mul-
tituie,

Conoure's Bouser.—Saturday night, an Inquisi-
tion was taken at the If..ing's Head Cellar, •H'ilborn.
on the body of I. H. efitutie, who met his death by
tic:.identally•stabbing himself, on Friday last.—Miss
I. Morgan, a relative of the deceased, deposed that
Lis mother beiv dangerously ill, she attended her
ab..tft a ter night. On ThursAay night, about twelve
o'clock, she• family retired to rest; witness lay on a
iota, and Ise lay WI a mattress in the same room with
the old lady, who wanted something about -three
o'clock, and both gm up to make a fire; deceased
toot die knife now produced, a small desert Inife, to
spl.ce apiece of wood, the end of which he laid on his
breast, and had the edge of the knife towards him ;
witness heard an exclaraation—is lam stabbed." On
looking round the deceased was lying on his mother's
bed, who desired her to call up Mr. Cain, the land-
lord. The deceased was a single man, about SS
years of age, and kept a school; his mother was to-
- tally depending upon him far rapport; he was parti-
calarly dutiful and kind to tier; he often expressed a
regret he could not provide better for her.—Mr. Cain
said, he kept a house in Furaival's lien-court," llol-
born—the deceased, his mother, and family, had oc-
cupied his first floor fur upwards of twelve months;
they paid their rent regularly ; never knew them to b
in ally embarrassment.—Mr. Dail% a surgeon, was
called to die deceased on, Friday morning : a great
qt:antity of blood was on the 'floor. On examining
him, he found his plaid jacket, flannel waistcoat,
and shirt cut, and a deep wound, about four inches,
inflicted on his lett breast ; he was quite dead, but
warm--witness 'afterwards opened :the body, and
found the heart had beta peinzated—saw the knife
"'reduced on the table, but could not conceive such a
knife would iuflict the wound by slipping off apiece
of wood.—The Cottosten said, no evidedee had been
-produced to prove that the deceased had committed
suicide, and, notwidutanding Mr. Davis's oilinion, it
might be probable; that if the left hand slipezd from
the knit ol,the knife, although it was extremely blunt,
it might penetrate with greater force than if in-
tentionally plunged—ln this upillion the Jury agreed,
and returned a verdict—,Accidental Death.
