POETRY.

The French version of the following song,
which originally appeared in the Morning
Chronicle. subjected that Journal to SEIZURE
by the police Of Paris. The translation IS
from the London Examiner.
TIE GORDON sANITAIRE.
A spar,iard TO our soldiers cried
('Twas from pyrenean brow,
In tones of conscious power and pride)-
Where is your country's freedom now y
lie checked their tale of days gone By,
OF victories won--but not forgot =
"7herc is but one true victory,
IT'S TO BE FEEE-and you are not"
He came from Spain his steps advance;
And these reproaches reached their ears;
What, warriors, have you gain'd for France,
BY conquests that have cost so DEAR
In hstory's weary page to see
Your names With barrenwreaths inwrought
There is but one true victory,
TITS TO BE FREE-and you are not"
GA King enshrincd in Gothic rust,
With distaff' sceptre, crazy, weak,
Shall he crush Frenchmen into dust,
And wave rod child might break
Talk not of all your fame to me-
1t is not worth word, thought;
There is but one true victory,
IT'S TO BE FREE-and YOU are not"
Our soldiers then indignant rose,
And flashing brands implied revenge;
Loud cried the warrior, " Know your foes -
No blood of mine your soil should tinge!
If We want victims-let those be
The victims whom your chains have wro't;
There is but one true victory,
IT'S TO BE FREE-and you are not

Of Iby them, so long as the same should re- !

by them, so long as the same shoulu rc.
main the property Of the United States.
The tract of country ceded by that treaty
was then almos, an entire wilderness,
but has since become populated by white
settlers who suffer much Inconvenience
from the depredations Of the Indians. Ii
seems but reasonable under that treaty,
that since the lands coded have been ex
posed to sale, and considerable proper
ton became Tie property of individuals,
the privilege OF the Indians should cease.
"A memorial to Congress might effect
this object.
BY treaty made between Mr.. Pierre
Chon,eau and the Great and Little Usage
uibes Of Indians, in the year 1903, the
western boundary line of the lands ccded
by them commenced al Fort Clark, and
run thence due south course to the RI
yer Arkansas. The title to the tract OF
country situated between that line and the
western boundary Of our state Is still IN
those tribes. As the extinction ol Indian
title within the state is much to be de-
sired, will suggest the proprlety OF adj
dressing Congress on the subject also
Internal Improvements are properly
within the sphere of legislative duties.
Among HE first subjects Of this nature
which will occur 10 your observation,
will undoubtedly be the establishment Of
state road and the safe navigation OF the
Missouri and other rivers.
A revision OF the laws OF the state has
become highly necessary. From the va
rious statutes which have heretofore been
enacted on the same subject, it has be-
come diffic ult in many instances to ascer-
tain which laws are in force, and which
are repealed.
The militia law passed at the last ses-
sion is found to be very detective; it is
10 be hoped this subject will occupy
portion OF your attention.
| Twill further urge the necessity al pro-
vding at an early period for ihe publ
cation Of the laws OF the presen, session.
Much inconvenienceh heretofore arisen
in consequence of laws being actually in
force before hey were printed, or could
be known 10 the people.
Gentlemen, the Executive will be hap

or in discharging your important duties,

Transmitted, by Mr.. PETTUs, ms private
Secretary, to both Houses OF the GeLe-
raj Assembly, the following
MESSAGE.
Gentlemen efthe Senate,
and ofthe House Of Representatives.
Ii is with peculiar satisfaction that
meet another General Assembly of Mis-
Souri. As the representatives and agents
of free people, elected by their volun-
tary snffrages, to relieve their wants, and
protect their rights, under the Constitu-
ton Of the United States and of this
state, you will find many arduous aud
important duties TO perform. Many
subjects of high interest and importance
70 the citizens of the state will come be-
fore you to be acted upon; subjects
which have excited the feelings and di-
vided the opinion of the public. But,
gentlemen, permit me to recommend to
you for the welfare and prosperity Of the
state, to preserve in your proceedings,
the same harmony and unity OF senti-
ment which characterized our citizens
in their struggle for an independent go
vernment.
Residing as you do in different parts
of the state, you are not only acquainted
with the sentiments of your respective
constituents, but are doubtless prepared
to represent and promote their parlicu-
lar local interests. l shall therefore
pass over matters ofa sectional nature
and confine my communication to sub
jec.s Of general concern.
The first general assembly Of this
state, at their June session, 1921, pro-
posed several amendments to our con-
stitution which are herewith submitted
TO you, and, by resolution adopted at
the same session, made il the duty of the
Governor to cause them to be publish
ed three several times in all the news
papers in the state, at least twelve
months before the mex, general election.
In compliance with the resolution each
Editor of paper, within the state, was,
in due time, furnished with copy for
publication.
1t is with diffidencc that hazard my
opinion relative to the amendments pro-
posed. Twill, however, recommend in
general, that no alteration in that sacred
instrument should be made for Sigh, or
trivial causes. We all respec, aud re-
we're the grand charter of our govern.
ment; and the dignity and prosperity Of
the state require that this reverence and
respect should be scrupulously preserv-

PUBLIC MEETING

BosToN, january GA meeting was YES
tcrday holden at Merchants Hall, agree3blv
TO notice in the public newspapers, to take in
to consideration the propIiety of remunstra-
ling against the repeal of the Navigation Acts
of the u. States.
The Hon. William Gray was called to the
chair, and Samuel Parkman, Jr Esq. chosen
Secretary.
The following Resolves were unanimously
adopted:
Resofred, That the political power and 10
fluenee which the United States have with 9th
or Nations Is derived from their Naval Power.
RtSotued, That the political power and in
luence OF Nation is essentially connected
with the interests of every class of citizens
lnasmuch as it affects the terms and conditions
of their commercial add political arrangements
with Foreign Powers.
ResolUed, That the power Of d nation TO es-
tablIsh aud maintain Navy is Just in piopnr-
t0n to the extent of her Commercial Marine
and Fisheries.
ReSoired, That the Navigation Acts of the
L States have been highly beneficial to the
Agricultural, Manufacturing and NAVIGATING
Interests of the couniry--to the Agricultural
and Manufacturing by creating and maintain
Ing a constant and regular demand for their
Producll9nsat fair prices to the Navigating,
by protecting them against the operation of
Discriminating Duties and Commercial Regu-
laiions of Foreign Governments, calculated TO
build up aud extend the Commercial Marine
Of other Nations TO the prejudice of that of
the u. States.
ResofUed, That to repeal the Navigation
Acts, except so far as TO make them recipro
cal with such Nations as may repeal theirs
with regard TO the u. States, would be highly
preludcial to the best interests of the whole
community, and destructive Of the CARVING
