CAPTAIN BARRON
II. KIRKPATRICK, Sec','y.

When tliis gentleman arrived take command
OF tins Naval Station, we expressed regret thar
the government should have selected the birth p ace
of Decatur as he place where Capt. Barron should
enter upon renewed exercise of his professional
duties. This publication excited much sensibility
among the friends of Capt. Barron, led to some Of
iensive pubca tons & even some foolish threats
These things, might have been anticipated, de-
termined the Editor, by the publication of official
papers, To shew that he had no private feeling of
hostility, no personal piquc, Resentment, toward
Capt. Barron, but that what he had published was
Justlhable on Public principles and from National
feelings To this course lie was the more strn,Ila-
ted by advertisements that Public Dinner was to
De given to welcome the Captain to this station
The public dinner was given up, in consequence of
delicate refusal on the part of the Captain to ac-
cept. AT that tim son Saturday last, our article
was IN type, but laid aside, by request. Ii is vet in
type, but we have determined, il shall not anpear
The representations made to us on the part OF the
individual, aud his family, Interested ba We en-
trely subdued every uuknd feeling md buried eve
~ hostile recollection; and belief that silence on
our part cannot be misconstrucd, has induced "A di
rection that our types be distributed sincerely hop
ing we shall not again feel bound to put them to-
gether, IN hostile array, against any individual who
is acutely sensible of the attitude and armor in
which he stands before the Nation.

deed with which he stood charged-of which he
had been convicted. He prayed and prayed for

the worldly horror, of being killed public scaf-
fold by the public executioner, glarsd upon him,
and overcame that serenity and peace of mind, SO
earnestly to be desired in his situation.

eound of the bell announcing the hour rang on his

Tomorrow at the same hour. he should be stretch

surgeon-the heart that beat in his breast with
every tender feeling of love, of peace with all the
world, would perhaps, be torn from its seat the OBJ

by his anxious parents, who in the watchfuness of
their over his infancy, had sheltered him from
the night breeze, lest it should blow too strongly
on him, would be acerated exposed and exhibited
as an example of terror TO his gazing couDtrymen
The thought was, OF itself, enough 10 kill him bot
the effect it did produce was worse than the death
which nature would have brought. His mind was
made up--his determination formed, and selfde

From the sufTerings of this ingenious gentleman W
'ould not but expect the performance before to
sreatly irregular but shall certainly characterize
more justly if call it rreguarly great. There is
5randeur majesty of thought, not without happiness
expression in the following stanzas.
Sublime invention ever young
OF vast conception, to~'ring tongue;
To God tn eternal theme;
Notes from yon Civilizations caught,
UnrvaFd royalty of thought
Der meaner strains supreme.
His muse, bright angel of his verse,
Gives balm for all the thorns that pierce,
For all the pangs that rage
Blest light still gaining the goon,f
The mora than Michael of his bloom,
TIL Abishag of his age
lie sung of God, the mighty source
Of all things, the stupendous force
On which all strength depends,
From whose right arm, beneath whose eyes,
All period, power and enterprise
Commences, reigns and ends
The world, the clustering spheres he mades
The glorious light, the soothing shade,
Dale, champaign, grove, and hill;
The multtudinous abyss,
Where secrecy remains in bliss,
And Wisdom hides her skill.
Tell them, AM Jehovah said
To Moses while earth heard in dread,
And, smitten to the heart.
At once, above, beneath, around.
All Nature, without voice sound,
Replied, o Lord, THOU ART.
