AN GRAFTON,

Delivered on Monday, 4th of July, 1926, in
commemoration of American independence,
before the Supreme Executive of the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts,, and the City
Council and inhabitants Of the city of Bos.
ton-By CHARLES SPnAsUE.
Why, on this day, fingers along these
sacred walls, the spirit-kindling an
them? Why, on this day, waits the he
RAID of God at the altar, to utter forth
his holy prayer? Why, on this day, con-
gregate here the wise, and the good,
and the beautiful of the land? Fathers!
Friends! it is the SABBATH DAY OF
FREEDoM! The race of the ransomed
with grateful hearts and exulting vol
ces, have again come up, in the sun
light fpeace, to the Jubilee of their
independence!
The story of our country's sufferings,
our country's triumphs, though often
and eloquently told, is still story that
cannot tire, and must not be forgotten.
You viii listen to its recital, however
unadorned; and I shall not fear, there
fore, even from the place where your
chosen ones have so long stood, to de.
light and enlighten, shall not fear to
address you. Though tell you no
new thing, l speak Of that which can
never fall coldly on your ears. You
will listen, for you are the sons and
daughters ofthe heroic men, who light.
ed the beacon of "rebellion," and un'
furled by its blaze, the triumphan,
banner Of liberty; your own blood will
speak for me. A feeble few ofthat in
trepid band are now among you, ye,
spared by the grave for your venera
ton; they will speak for me. Theil
sinking forms, their bleached locks
their honorable scars; these will in
deed, speak for me. Undaunted men
how must their dim eyes brighten, and
their old hearts grow young with rap
ture, as they look round on the happi
ness of their own creation. Long may
they remain, our glad and grateful
gaze, to teach us all, that we may trea
sure all, of the hour Of doubt and dan
ger: and when their God shall summon
them to glorious rest, may they beal
to their departed comrades the confir,
nation of their country's renown, and
their children's felicity.

, POETRY.

SONNET-BY Mrs. HEMAss.
Wrapt in sad musings, by Euphrates' stream
I sat, retracing days forever flown,
While rose thine image on the exile's dream,
O much-loved Salem! and thy glories gone
When they, who caused the ceaseless tears
shed, [thy lays
Thus to their captive spoke, ''Why sleep
"sing of thy treasures lost, thy splendor fed,
"And all thy triumphs in departed days
"Know'st thou not, Harmony's resistless charm
"Can soothe each passion, and each grief dis
"arm1 [eye."
"Sing then, and tears will vanish from thine
With sighsI answered-When the cup of woe
Is filed, till misery's bitter draught o'erAow;
The mournar's cure is not to sing-but die.
The following beautiful Poem is from Cro-
lys Angel of the World-lt is rich poesy In
deed.
The weeper raised the veil; aruby lip
First dawn'd; then glow'd the young cheeks
deeper hue,
Yet delicate as roses when they dip
Their odorous blossoms in the morning dew.
Then beam'd the eyes, twin stars ofliving blue,
Half shaded by the curls Of glossy hair,
That turn'd to golden as the light wind threw
Their clusters in the western golden glare,
Yet was her blue eye dim, for tears were
standing there.
He LOOKED upon her, and her hurried gaze
Was at his look dropp'd instant on the ground:
But DER her cheek of beauty rush'd blaze,
Her bosom heaved above its silken bound,
As if the soul had felt some sudden wound.
He looked again-the cheek was deadly pale,
The bosom sunk with one long sigh pro nd
Yet still one lily hand upheld her veil,
And one still press'd her heart-that sigh told
all its tale.
Beauty, what art thou, that thy slightest gaze,
Can make the spirit from the centre roll,
Its whole long course, sad and shadowy
maze,
Thou midnight or thou noontide Of the soul ;
One glorious vision Lighting up the whole
Of the wide world; or one deep wild desire,
BY day and night consuming sad and sole;
Till hope, pride, genius, nay, till loves own
fire ling pyre.
Desert the weary heart, a cold and moulder-

the passengers are conveyed through in the

LONDON, SEPT. 10.
The intelligence in the French papers
from Greece is highly gratifying; for il
confirms all the reports which had al
ready been received from tina, quarter,
bu, particularly at Tripolilza aud Mis-
solonghi. 1t appears that the Greeks
allowed the reinforcements landed by
the Captain Pacba to effect their juno
ton with Ibrahim, who thus strengthen
ed, left garrison at Tripolitza, and un-
willing to tempt again the strength
of Napoli, moved to Carytene. Ths
Greeks allowed him to proceed sevcra'

" Smyrna, Aug. /.
l am very sorry 10 say the Greek af.
fairs are very bad. A letter from Napo-
Ii Of the 9th ult. says, "While writing,
the Egyptian troops are making their APP
pearance under the Mills. If they arc
able TO take possession Of them, tho
Greeks will lose this Fortress" Should
this occur, the revolution will be finish
ed, and these unfortunate people doomed
to slavery greater than ever. At Mis-
solonghi the Turks were repuIsed with
the loss OF 1000 men. The Greeks dis
played the greatest courage. The Turks
had even got into the fortress, when they
were repulsed with such severe loss
Colocotroni, it appears destroyed Tripo-
LIZA, and it was then taken by Ibrahim
Pacha, who afterwards massacred 5000
men, women and children prisoners, who
on promise of quarter had re-entcrcd the
city. We momently expect to hear fur
tber from Napoli: l lremble for the

provision, is Obvious. BY It, Congress,
in considerable degree, will be freed
from that connection with the Exec utive
Department, which at present gives
strong ground Of apprehension and jesl-
ousy on the part OF the people. Mem
bers instead OF being liable to be with
drawn from legislating upon the great
interests OF the nation, through prospects
OF executive patronage, would be more
literally conhded in by their constltu-
ents while their vigilance would be less
interrupted by party feeling and party
excitement. Intrigue aud management
would be excluded. Nor would their
deliberations, or the investigation OF sub
iec,s, consume SO much lime. The mo-
rails Of the country would be improved
and virtue, uniting with the labors OF the
Representatives, aud with the official
ministers OF the law, would tend to per-
petua'e the honor and glory OF the go
vernment.
But if this change in the constitution
should not be attained, and important ap-
pointments continue to devolve upon the
Representatives in Congress, it requires
no depth of thought to be convinced, that
corruption will become the order OF the
day, and that under the garb OF conscien-
tious sacrifices TO establish presidents
for the public good, evil may arise oil Sc
rious importance to the freedom and
prosperity OF The Republic. Ii is thro'
this channel that the people may expect
10 be attacked in their constitutional
sovereignty, and where tyranny may well
be apprehended TO spring up in some
favorable emergency. Against such in
roads every guard ought to be interpos-
ed, and none betler occurs than that OF
closing the suspected avenue win some
necessary constitutional restriction. We
know human nature to be prone to evil
we are early taught to pray that we may
not be led into temptation; and hence
the opinion that by constitutional pro-
visions al avenues to temptation on the
part of our political servants, should be
closed ~

From the Courier Francais.]
Authentic letters from Napoli d
Romania, dated the first of August, an
nounced, that on the morning OF that day
the Provisional Government of Greece
had made and published an act of sub
mission to England, invoking its protec-
torale on the same conditions as the To-
man Islands. This news has reached
The French Ministry, which endeavors to
conceal it, because it breads Its influence
OF the political horizon. But, in spite Of
its precau'ion, private letters have es-
capped the notice Of the post Office, and
the vigilance of the police.
"This appeal to the British Govern
ment was preceded by conferences be-
tween the Greek Chiefs and Commodore
milton, who commands the British
naval force in the Levant.
" 1t must lie observed, that this i'm
portant resolution was taken before the
raising of the siege of Missolonghi, which
is now certain, and the defea, of the for
ces, both by land and sea, which the OF.
toman Porte had before that place.
The Greeks, forsaken or betrayed
by the Continental powers, saw no other
means TO avert storm which was ready
to swallow them up.
III as men we must applaud the step
they have taken to escape DETERMINATION
and the ferocity Of the Turks, we have, as
Frenchmen, more than one reason to re-
eret ii.
"For such is the improvidencc, and,
we must say, the unsk iltulness of the
French ministry, that it is it, and its
faults and false calculations, which have
reduced to this necessity people so
worthy OF independence. If by impo-
lite condescensions, by dark intrigues,
the French ministry had not prepared
and seconded the formation of the Egyp-
tian corps, the Turks would never have
venlured alone to invade and lay waste
the Morea. An independent govern
ment, powerful barrier between civil.
cation and barbarism, which would ma
turaly have placed itself under the pro-
lection Of France, would be already es.
ablished on the confines of Asia, and
now hold place among European pow.

GEN. JACKSON'S RESIGNATION.
To the Honorable the Sneakers Of the
Senate and House Of Representatives
Of the State Of Tennessee.
Two years ago, by the unsolicited suf-
frsge Of the legislature, l was preferred
10 the situation at present occupied by
me, of Senator in Congress. Pursuing
the principle by which l had ever been
governed, neither to seek after, nor de-
cline Office, the appointment conferred,
was accepted. Aware OF the practice
which had long prevailed, of selecting
from each extreme Of the state, person
for the high and respectable situation Of
Senator, felt regret at being brought
forward to disturb system which had
30 long obtained; yet inasmuch as the
Legislature, without any knowledge or
understanding on my part, had called me
to the situation, il was impossible to with
hold my assent and accordingly The
appointment was, though reluctantly,
accepted; not however without its being
professed by my friends, that longer
term OF service than one Congress, would
neither be required or expected. That
service has been performed. I was still
pondcring, and in doubt, whether excep.
lions to my resignation might not be TAX
en-; and if i, might not DO proper for me
