HAL! to the birth OF Americas glory,
Her Genius sounds loudly the trumpet of Fame :
Children, their parents, and grandsires hoary,
Exult IN the valor which purchased that name.
Her Heroes have fought agan,
Truth and justice to maintain,
Against foreign insult, m mace and scorn;
Baltimore and Orleans free,
III We raised the shout of victory,
And offered new gems her temple to ado-n.
q
supreme are the joys this day VIII afford We,
For Freedom has gathered sDeen bays for each
Son;
Brothers made captive, for vengeance inplored
thee,
And wept with delight at the battles you won.
A Frm and unite1 band,
Freed by you" val ant hand,
No tyrant shall force them from L.ibertY's tree.
With grates 4 emotion,
They offer devotion
To the God who protects them on land and by sea
3.
Who would exchange for traitors reflection,
The pride ofthe #, eemen, who bled in our cause I;
Whose prowess released from d.sgraceful resir.c-
ton,
A country directed by Virtues best laws.
Their praise shall abound age'n,
From Europe's widest glen
For honor and mercy rejoc &c in their fame,
While carnage and plumber,
Have marked British thunder,
And talnished what lustre might circle her name
Our statesmen with wisdom have governed the
nation,
AvenginG the wrongs which their country en-.
dured;
To Freedom they offered grateful oblat;on,
And peace by their Judgment have firmly secured
OF. ships now securely ride,
Over oceans swelling tide,
Protected by the banner they proudly display.
Ne'er shall It be seen to wave,
Guard an of that sordid slave,
Who. bought by foreign gold, shuns this auspi.
eious day,
The genirS Of Columbia laurel wreath bears,
For the heroes whose courage her power main
ta,ns,
Yet crown of fresh cypress she mournfully
wears,
For the loss which her children but recent sus.
tains
Best shade of departed worth,
Smile on your nations mirth,
Der clouded by grieffor the statesman we mourn:
Surely GERRY in realms above,
VIII share in or anxious love,
For the country he cherished, but neer can reioin

This spot which first witnessed Columbia's COM
motion,
EFFORTS IT'S to equal in valor and truth,
What we hallow this day, with grateful emotion
The mem'ry ofchampions who guarded our youth
Here Lawrence, Burroughs, Aliens shades,
And those who fought on freedoms glades,
Unite with the spirits Of seventy.fve;
To receive the US r.raise,
or their country which raises,
Their fsme to the portals of Heave 5 arch.ve.

peal OF her orders in council, the American
government was compelled to contemplate a
resort to arms, as the only remaining course
to be pursued, for its honor, its independence,
and its safety. Whatever depended upon
the United States themselves, the United
States had performed for the preservation of
peace, IN resistance of the French DEGREES,
as well as OF the British orders. What had
been required from France, in its relation to
the neutral character of the United States.
France had performed. by the revocation of
ITS Berlin and Milan DEGREES. But what de-
pended upon Great Britain, for the purposes
OF justice, In the repeal of her orders in coun-
Gil, was withheld ; and new evasions were
sought, when the old were exhausted. 1t
was, at one time, alledged, that satisfactory
proof was not afforded, that France had re-
pealed her DEGREES against the commerce
OF the United States; as if such proof alone
were wanting to ensure the performance of
the BRUSH promise. At another time,
1t was insisted, that the repeal of the French
DEGREES, IN their operation against the United
States in order to authorize demand for the
performance OF the British promise, must be
total, applying equally to their internal, and
their external effects {; as if the United States
mad either the right, or the power, to IMPOSE
upon france the law of her domestic institu-
tions. And it was, finally, insisted, in a
despatch from lord Castlereaeh to the Bri-
tish minister, residing at Washington, in the
year 1872 which was officially communica-
ted to the American government, that "the
DEGREES OF Berlin and Milan must not be re-
Peaied sing'y and specially, in relation to the
United States; but must be repealed, also, as
10 all other neutral nations; and that in no
less extent OF repeal of the French de-
crees, had the British government ever
pledged itself to repeal the orders in coun-
GU; as fit were incumbent on the u
nIted States, not only to assert her own rights,
but to become the coadjutor of the British go
vernment, in gratuitous assertion of the
rights of all other nations.
