When freedom descended from Heaven,
10 brighten this earth with her smiles,
Her first looks of glory were given
To Greece and her beautiful Isles.
There shone out the minds holy light
There stood the proud home oil the brave,
And to make that fair region more bright,
Young beauty walked forth from the wave.
Ye vales, that freedom first trod
The freshest, the greenest on earth,
Scenes loved. of the Muse. and her Cod,
From whom the Tyres magic had birth.
Where the arts wove their chapets Of fame,
The brows OF high genius to bind,
And beauteous Philosophy came,
To light up the affairs Of Mind.
Where the Poets wild mastery flung,
Those spells, which all hearts could enchain,
And the voice of the eloquent tongue
Invoked not mems spirits in vain.
Too long has the savage defiled
The land Of he glorious and free,
And that garden cursed into Wild
Which blossomed, o Freedom for thee.
But Greece has awoke from the trance
of ages, and sprung from the dust;
Pride flashes again in her glance,
And in VIRTUE and COP is her trust.
The hordes of the insolent foe
Are scattered on mountain and wave;
His fierce star of conquest sinks low,
And shall soon set in blood on his grave.
Oh soon shall the sorrow and crime
Which he Fixed on those bright scenes, depart
And Freedom her image sublime
Shall stapp on the Greeks glowing heart.

From the Franklin Hcrald.l

The claim Of Massachusetts, against the o.
mited States for services Of the Militia
during the late gar.
The advocates OF Eustis and Lincoln have
brought this subject before the publick, as fur
nishing an important reason, why these gentle
men should be elected; it is therefore deserv-
ing some notice. If the argument is of any
weight, let il have its proper effect; If it is
merely an electioneering trick, designed to gull
the people, let it be exposed, and the disgrace
attach where it belongs.
We are told by those, who wish for new
End Of men 10 rule oper us, that this claim is
something like million of dolars-that it will
nerer be paid, while the government of the
State remains in the hands of Federalists-
tat change would, in all probability, insure
speedy payment.
Fhls IS the extent of the argument, and
pretty interesting one it is Every honest man
is requested to examine it, and decide upon
those principles of integrity, which ought TO
influence an upright mind.
Is 1t a good reason why the claim should
not be allowed, because The government Of the
State is in the hands of Federdl,sts If the
debt is just, il is due TO the ichole people, the
Democratick Slate of .Maine as we'll as to the
Federal Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and
ought to be paid by just Government, lrbo-
eter may be. the agents of the people, for the
time being. The Withholding it in one case,
and paying it in the other, would be equally
derogatory TO the dignity and justice of the u
nited States. An interrupted and enlighten-
ed mind, would spurn the suggestion, that
million OF dollars would be paid by the general
Government, into the Treasury of the Com
monwealth, if one man was GOVERNOR, and
NOT cent IN the other eesnt. The obligation
and Tie right are The same in either case. The
managers at Washington, certainly, ought not
to thank their Q6icious friends for assuming
position, which, if admitted to be true, would
make them more corrupt than any Govern
ment on earth.
The resolve of Congress. upon the principle
urged, by the advocates of MIR. Eustis, would
be in substance this: 6 If the Commonwe alth
OF Massachusetts, in, the management of her
internal police, will be guided by the dictates
OF the general government, or, in other words,
will relinquish her Sovereignty as a State, she
shall receive million of dollars (Which is her
Just dae j if not, she shall receive nothing
Tie DEBT shall nerer be paid.n
This Is plain exposition of the argument.
Let all honest, fair-nsiaded men consider, re-
feet, and determine for themselves its merit,
how much it is worth, and what can be the
hopes of party, who are compelled to resort
to such measures, TO effect party election.

The nomination Of Mr.. Otis has been
vigorously assaiied, as might have been
expected, in the democratick papers, but
the objections 10 it are not 10 the cand-
dates Individually, but TO the whole fed
eral party. No acts Of theirs are found
fault with, but such as they have per-
formed with the appreciation, and in
compliance with the wishes, of all the
fedepalists Of the Commonwealth. The
principal objections to Mr.. Otis are, that
he opposed the election of Mr.. Jefferson
as President in POOL, ard that he acted
as member Of the Hartford Conyen-
lion. 1t is, therefore, not so much the
character Of our candidates on which
I've are to pass Judgment in this election,
as The propriety and justice of orr o7an
cosaduct, since nothing in them is found
fault with, but what we have steadily
and openly approved. The election is
contest Of principle, in which not on
~ our future welfare and quiet are CON
cerned, but our own consistency, and
the character which shall be stamped.
