FOR THE ENQUIRER.
THE SON OF OCEAN,.


Son of the rough aud roaring wave!
20 every CLINE and danger known,
Thy dsuntless energy we crave;
Thy dauntiess energy We OWL
Son OF the Sea! AT that bright name
The MUSES. love their lyresto swell
To deck the laureifd wreathe OF fame,
And deathless deeds of glory tell.
Son of the wildiy-warrins waste!
Where ships i'm battle bold unite;
Where gallant hearts to quarters haste,
Terrific frown, and frowning fight;
But when the lee-ward fash is seen,
Aud Peace her soothing accents lend,
The Son of Ocean smiles serene
And calls the vanquished foe-man-
tsfriend!'
Son OF the bowling rnountain-wave!
Where thunders roll, and lightnings Hash,
Where loud the vext tornados rave,
And spars descend and timbers crash
Tho long the wreckiug ruin reign.,
And waves on waves the deck o'srwhelm,
The Son of Ocean ne er complains,
But. guides with steady hand, his helm.
Son of the lofty -heaving deep!
Where zephyr smiles thro' tempests steal,
Where, raved to rest, the pillows sleep,
Or murmur mildly round thy keel;
When virgin hopes, on shore, are strong
To see again the sailor youth,
The Son Of Ocean helms along,
And sings to rosy Love and Truth.
Son Of the Fishing surge sublime
Where fiery fakes thy bows illume;
On shore, when flames infuriatc climb
And wrap in death the tottering dome;
When helpless beauty, fearful, signs,
And many trembling prayer prefers,
The Son of Ocean hears her cries,
And saves, or gives his life with hers.
Son of the waving waters wild
Der which thy bark the breeze impes;
On shore, when lorn affiiction's child
With feeble voice, and figure tells
How hard tho different once, she lives
by loss OF friends and weight of years.
The Son of Ocean feels, and gives,
If nothing else to gsvc--his tears.
Son Of this fondly favouring gale!
That home-ward on this quarter plays,
Thy name thy faithful Ministries hail
In mingled songs of love and praise;
And, 10 thy happy natal shore
Where kindred dear, and true-love dwell
Where Ocean waves are heard no more
---Son OF Tia dimpling flood---farewel!

After thirty years of peace and prosperity,
the United States have been driven to arms.
The injuries and expressions, the insults and
indignitIes of Great Britain have once more
left them no alternative but manly resistance
or unconditional submission. The army I'M

Separated by An immense ocean, and an ex-
tensiyc wilderness from Great Britain, you
have no participation in her councils, no nte-
rest in her conduct, YOU have felt her tyranny,
you have seen her injustice; bot do not ask

FELLOW CITIZENS,

Of Nev-Je,sey.
FELLOW CITIZENS,
A Crisis has at length arrived in the admi
nistratlon of the public affairs of this county
In which every one of US has a deep ana so
lenln concern. II Is not our purpose to re
view the various acts and proceedings of thos,
to whom the people for twelve years past
have entrusted the management OF these al
fairs Unhappily they seem to have left US
little to reflect upon but our divlsio s and
misfortunes. Most unequiyocaly, however,
do we declare Our confidence in the great bo-
dy OF citizens, whatever may have been our
dlstrust OF dissatisfaction in regard to many
men In office, and the measures they have
pursued.
We believe the people, to whatever set OF
men and measures they have attached their
confidence and support, could only mean, and
did mean, the good, the peace, and prosperity
OF country rendered dear to them by 50 ma
ny privileges and blessings. 1t is to this peo-
pie, 50 enlightened, SO independent and patri-
oic, (and may we trust, SO candid as to con6de
in our sincerity that we now address our
selves.
On the 9th of June, small majority in
congress dlo by law declare war on the part OF
the Uniled States against the united Kingdom
of q. Britain and Ireland, and Its dependen-
Cies.
This act, SO unexpected, SO opposed to the
petitions and remoustrances of every class *
part OF the commnnity--so steadfastiy and ho-
morally resisted by great majority OF the de-
legates in congress from this state, aud by
those OF many other states, could not be pre-.
vented. 1t was, after many days struggle, i'll
secret sitting, carried through, and became
law.
This convention is composed of men, who
would ill deserve the confidence of their fellow
citizens, and dishonor their own principles,
