Figate Constitution.

The Arrival OF the frigate Constitu-
ton has given more uni5erSal Joy among
all classes of citizens, than almost any e.
vent that has taken place for many years.
The public mind has been excited to the
highest pitch of anxiety, for the fate of
this favorite ship, as the honorable rank
she has sustained from her first entrance
on the ocean, in every situation she has
been placed, has rendered her particu-
lar object of the British to capture. An
equal force was never contemplated by
the English to effect this desirable pur-
pose, but squadrons we're the armaments
on which British prowess expected to
accomplish the achievement. In most
instances the American frigates have ac.
quired national glory even in their cap
ture. The war has been doubly honora-
bic to the navy. On equal terms our
ships haoe been inumeible. The British
have been obliged to acknowledge this;
as superiority OF force has always been
sent by them when in expectation OF
meeting an American frigate-and such
has been our prowess, that though infe-
rior in guns and men, yet they could not
but estimate the proud character we sus-
lained even under the circumstances Of
Surrender. In every instance the AMER
IcAN FLAG has risen with honor.
When overpowercd by numbers, the
radiency of our STARS was not dimin.
ished in their briIliancy, nor the plumagc
of our EAGLE deprived of its Iustre.
When brave men are obliged to surren-.
der a single ship to a squadron, tho dig
nifty Of giving up a svord, must con-
found those Who receige IL. Great
minds become elevated by misiortunes.
The hero estimates honor not merely by
UanquiShing an abborent, but whether
the action carries those marks of magma
niuiiy by which brave men Judge Of
charactcrs.---Magnanimity forms the
character of hero-A Rodgers, Deca-
tur. Porter, Bainbridgc, Stewart, and
other honorable worthless, are entitled to
the sppcllation. The British in most IN;

sihnces arc Gestilute Of llle character. -
They arc deficient in The essentials, on
which IN honorable warfare is founded.
We shall wait with anxiety to receive
the official statement of this cruise from
Capt. Stewart to the Secretary of the Ma
Wy. The nautical tactics exhibited in
his engagement with the Cyane and Lee
want, are highly honorable, and his eyad-
ing the pursuit of such superior force,
is not only an evidence of the superiority
OF the sailing of the Constitution, but
OF the accuracy with which every direc-
hon was given during the chace, and the
promptness with which it was executed.
We most heartily welcome the Con-
sTIrUTIoN to the American shores, and
we doubt not the same warm display of
patriotic fervor will enliven this metropo-
lis (Boston) on the return of Captain
STEWART from so honorable cruize,
as has been exhibited on esay former
occasion.-Boston Chronicle.

"The danger is not over yet twas the
last words of one Of our Political Fathers,
shortly after the adoption OF the Federal Con-
stltution. The peculiar state of things in
the world, at this moment, and particularly
In this country, renders the caution more
proper than at any period of our National ex.
istence. The people hath delegated to yoG
q high and important trust. With unboun-
dcd confidence, they look up to yoH as to the
legitimate guardians of their honor as we'll as
Of their fortunes aud their lives.
y, Your labors have beenhithcrtoc crowned with
success, unequall sd in the annals of history /;
you have done much, but more remains for
you to do. Ii Is in yonr power to transmit
the American name, unsullied to poslcrity.
Blu, this can only be done by vigilance, and
wise use Of those means which you possess );
never forgetting for noment, that the
danger is not ovef yet"
AS long as America preserve a name among
the Nations of the Ear,h, she will be -op
posed by foe, naughty aud cruel, and more
!. faittle than Carthage. To battle the de-
signs of this universal Opprcssor, and OPP
pose 10 her ambition the same weapons which
she has too successfully welded against the
unoHending inhabitants of the earth, will call
forth all the wisdom and all the eocfgy of
Of your body, seconded by the Voice OF the
Nation. England views with indignant sor
row, the rapid growth of that Navy, which
her injustice has created. Our naval tri.
umphs, on the Ocean and on the Lakes, had
awakened her jealousy; but the chasusement
which we have inflicted on the fleet Of her
Algerinc Minions, has rendered her frantic.
The Christian world redeemed from Mahom-
e,an tribute, is sin which nothing can expi-
ate, but the dismantling of that Navy, which
has wrcsted the trident from the lords of
the Mediterranean. She views the downfall
Of Aigiers, as the karbinger of her own des.
truc,ion. She may, for some time, continue
her pira,ical depredations on that element
which she boasts Of as her own, and fiji her
Golfers with the spoils OF Christeodom, or the
tribute obtained by violence from the Wor-
shippers Of Jugernaut; but the terrible day
of her reckoning is swiftly posting on her
cup has already ovorAowed; Justice though
lamo of foot, will always ovortakc the wicked.
Eighteen hundred and hltced has found all
Christendom at peace (alweys except It's
