The eve then rests on the river Charles, and
Boston harbour, once in full possession of the
enemy, and covered with their vessels of war !.
but now whitened by the sails ofour own mer-
chant vessels, and all alive with boats gliding in
every direction; while on the Charlestown side
there lie the U. States navy yard, and several
of the most powerful and formidable vessels Of
war ever built in this country putting enc in
mind OF the enterprise and galantry OF Ameri-
can seamen, and the heroic deeds of our naval
commanders. Beyond the river, Boston rises
in full view, once garrisoned by an enemy,
and filed up with wretched population, who
suffered every indignty and privation, that the
wantonness and caprice of power chose to
nfilct but now the abode Of beauty, taste,
fashion, wealth and luxury the seat OF literary
and commercial enterprise of much that an
enlightened Christian patriot may well rejoice
in. and much that he cannot but mourn over
and condemn. For myself, have a sort ct
