ON FREEDOM.

Blest la the men who dares, usaw'd by fear,
The pantos, of the patriot breast to keel;
Who dares his country's hallow'd rights revere,
♦ed draws In their defence the conqu'riag steel.
Whets tyrants strive the fre, bora to enslave.
Aod eneootrord, o'ertiorn the slighted laws.
He risks his all, the bleeding laud to save,
And dauntlessly Intintains his righteous cause.
Boldly be matte. to the inertial strife.
For freedom's Name within his bosom glows;
He. et his country's shrine, devotes his life.
And falls on mangled beeps of couquer'd foes.
The hero dies; but still his hogoer'd name.

Enkindles in P3ch breast the patriot rage;
He lives recorded in the rolls of fame.
imprinted on the bright heroic page.

TRffit-TE TO MR. HUST.

(FROM .t toRICSTONTINT.)
It affords us vreat satisfaction to find that the just and
liberal iles;rei a. iii.lesitnify Mr. Hunt against the heavy
expense' !;.!s iiirerrell, in so ah!y and honestly
soniporting the cause of the people, proceeds with a de-
gree of activity and energy which is highly creditable
to the friends of liberty. In London every one exerts
himself in the sphere of his connexions; antis and so-
cieties have made up purses from the contributions of
the aiumbers, and, in massy country towns, committees
hair been formed, or Me in progress of arrangement, to
promote an in the !work ty and justice of which
all honest Hien curd:ally agree.
In proof of chi. unrio-unity. Sir Francis Burdett, in his
late Ailiiiirah.e ape.. cb at Car Crown and Anchor, ob-
served. that '• unit-moor to the Manchester meeting, and
&lie important trials which had ensued therefore at York,
he would civ that the erode...win r luctits that trial as
ler hail 'fettle, utOst Slot to lie I. ft with the expenses
weighing upon hiin. In his opinion, novelly:hoz that
trial with ohe temper and ability which Mr. Flout had
manifested. proving the legal and guirt character of the
adinchester unit binning oat of the l'u.ort the
whole he I,l.ric:i Teti itletier exhibited against hins,and
having skews, '.pen what reminds that House olCosismons
hail INISSeJ lan}, Willi L We're not only tyrannous in
throw lees, hot Intl Cie rtirrt of repealing those which
formed the best security for their remaining rights.
With all thew consideraiitcis before him, he would say
that Mr. Hunt had proved himself to be an able de-
fender of the people's libertie.; and he (Sir F.) knew
no argument mon forrible in fivour of reform than had
been elicited by those trial, at York. A Jury howl
comb:tell the did.e....lsnis, and, according to the preva-
lent maiinrr ef coluti!iiiing Special Juries, be believed
that .:het would lw convicted of the murder of Cain, if
such o ..re to be the b.:w prop ow for trial. If any
stimulus WAS required to indthe all classes to exert
themselves on this oreatior, nothing 'trouper could he
ailtiu.:rol than such an upiuiun romior from such a soar-
ter. Put the condor: of fir. Ittlet. at York, awl in
other situations which try n.en's souls, has been above •
all praise: moil it must be felt, that if EtiOand, during
the last twenty years, had possessed but hail a dozen
uteri of !itnilar cmicige and corruption scoter!
not have made its daring strides, the liberties of the
people tronl-1 here been more respected. and the nation
woidd not have been ground dun n by its present weight
of taxes.
