LI.tuuIt JiUHs HIe HoHln " oHty uiUdtut' ueftEsf-
ed By Mr.. QUlNc7, Mayor Of Boston.
The great principle for which our fathers con-
tended, and the maintaining OF which constituted
their glory, was, in fact, the right of self govern
ment,--and the right of choosing their own rulers ;
in other words. the right of possessing themselves
and Of transmitting TO poserity, the elective fran
chise, in its most pure and perfect state. Now
this great privilege, it belongs to to maintain,
by right and wise use OF il ; and to transmit it to
postcrity the purcr by our exsmple the safer by
our use,-and the more precious from the obvious
blessings, resulting from this fidelity. This Is
our duty. In this consists our gloty.
Let every man, therefore,, who inquiries, what it is
10 deserve and what it is to disgrace our ancestors,
consider his conduct 10 this respect. Let him ask
himself, whether he truly appreciates the nature
and greatness Of that privilege whether he is
faithful TO liberty, TO morals and religion, in the
ercise Of it,-wheher he is Indifferent about it,
or neglects it,-or sports with ii. And so let every
man answer for himself his own conscience his
Judge. And let all remember tha, in the ways OF
Providence to nations, we'll as to individuals,
there is retrbutlon as we'll as favor. No people
ever did, or ever can, long enjoy any privileges,
and least OF ALL the elective franchise who system
atically underyalue it ;-or abuse it ;-or even
Indifferent about 1t.
Again, truth 10 liberty. to virtue, to our ances
tors, and to the relation of things, in which we
stand, has respect, also, to the manner in which
conduct towards those, on whom the elective lot
has aIlen and in whose favor it has been declared
1t is the nature of man, under free constitution.

views interest, opinions, passions, and even ancies
which are inseparable from his constitution. This
condition OF things is not to be deprecated, con.
demned. I, is TO be understood and acted upon
Now the duty, which each individual. IN free
republic, to rulers is just the same, whether
they do do not, belong 10 the particular sect, or
party, he happens to prefer. Truth to the relations
Of things, in which we stand, requires that our
rulers, should be judged, not by any previous pre-,
judice, or theory, but by their conduct, while in
power; by the measures they recommend and
countenance. These measures are to be received
in candid, generous spirit, and with fair and manly
construction Those, therefore, will be false to the
genius and character of our revolution, who regard
less of the measures OF rulers, stall wagc war upon

TIE HERNITfS DEATH.

Ab, why, old man, dost thou quit the world
To find thy grave alone?
Say, by thy fellow man oppressed.
Does secret sorrow rend thy breast?
Or dosi for guilt atone Z.

=" But, sad reverse the tempests round me roar,
My shattered barque lies stranded on the shore.

"Thus smild the world; from cottage to the throne

Alone he met the grisly king,
No friend was there to mourn
No sigh was breatbed, no tear was shed,
No requiem sung as the spirit fled
To the land whence none return.
The prayer, the hymn, the voice are hush'd,
The footstep slumbers there;
Still is the clay in deaths cold sleep,
The couch is now winding sheet,
The sepuchre
Thout sumber in peace, though friendships hand
For thee shall weave wreath
Sweet is the rest of virtues scep,
There fingers smile on her clay-cold cheek,
Though sead with the signet of death.
