1t was not in = tao lust OF innovation; 1t
was not IN tie pursuit Of any airy schemes
or idle speculations" of new-fangled sophis-
try, that this nation engaged in It's memorable
contest with the 1nother-country. With re-
card to that country and her great dependen-
cies, it has been indeed urged On alater occa-.
sion, with much more eloq'lence than accura-
cy, uthat poor old England had no corde-
della among all her dang hters-Go nerill de-
MED her hundred knights--and Regain turned
her to the rude reltng of the pitiless storm Z
But were it worth while to pursue the allnsion
10 dramatick plot, it might be replied, with
=, unnsua, coincidence throughout, that in
her Youngest hope England would not have
{ been left without her Cordelia, had not the
overweaning rashness of misrulc denounced,
rejected and severed this child of her age, and
sby " q palpable effect of this unnatural dissen-
ton driven us completely into the bonds OF
French alliance. Ii was not, however, until
complaints, petitions, addresses, memorials
and renaonstrances, and eli other means to
avoid the last alternative, had beentried, and
tried in vain, that separation was finally
effected. Il was not in the sorcery of any
abstract theories, or chimerical reforms 1t
was not in the turmoil of any inordinate con-
ceits Of ACKNOWLEDGMENT on our part-hut it
was in the defence of claims well defined by
plain and practical limits, in the support of
birth-rights well understood and ever guarded
as precious Inheritance by the descendants
from land Of freedom, that an unwilling
appeal was at last made to arms, and the prize
ofcopquest was the accomplishments of Inde-
spenSence.

conduct, or the issue of that proceeding, which
can in any wise be tortured into precedent
for any of the fearful changes that have since
sperpIexed the moral order, and rent the very
foundations of civilized society. In substance
