to many noble spirit yet to come I" go thou and
do likewise" we should be the last to ntrude this
offering upon the veteran statesman.
To avoid even the chance of his questioning this
measure it should be prompt and immediate; the
boon should be deposited in at his fee, while
yet he dreamed NOT Of it,; even now, while we are
speaking OF it, it should be presented, that he may
experience the benefac, on, before the sush of the
countless fountains of public benfcence shall reach
his ear.
I sincerely hope therefore. sir that the citizens
of B,umore will act on this occasion with one
heart and one voice; tina, all, the humblest as ell
the most exalted will feel il pride concur in
the measure. l hope that the tide of generous
sympathy will rise to the level of every mans boz

world that the glory of America consists in the

OF reducing those charges which weigh most heayi-
ly on the tax payers.
Legislation should provide for the successive i'm
prov ement Of all the wants Of society. The pro-
gressive cutting up (morceliement) Of landed es-
tates, essentially contrary to the spirit OF monar-
chical government, would enfeeble the guarantees
which the charter gives to my throne and TO my
subjects.
Measures will be proposed to you, Gentlemen,
to re-establsh the uniformity which ought to exist
in the political and in the civil law and preserv
the parimony OF families, without restricting, how
ever, the liberty of dsposing of ones goods.
The prescvatio of families brings about and Sc
cures political stability, which is the first want of
states, and which particularly is that Of France az
ter so many vcissitudes.
w. You will second me, Gentlemen, in the accom-
ifshment of the plans have meditaed, and in as
surfing more and more the happiness OF the people
whom Divine Providence has committed to my
care. You will not be more disturbed than myself
by that thoughless resessness which still agita es
some bosoms in spite of the security we enjoy
This security shall not be impaired, Gentlemen
rely upon my watching with equal solicitude over
all the interests of the state and that shall know
how conciliate the exercise of all legal liberty,
with the maintenance OF order and the suppression
of RIGHTEOUSNESS.

HYMN OF NATURE.

God of the earths extended plain,
The jark green field. eon,ented lie:
The mountains rse like holy towers
Where man might commune with the sly;
The tall cliff challenges the storm
That lowers upon the vale below,
Where shaded fountain. send their sire ans
With joyous music in their fow.
God Of the dark and heavy Deep
Whose waves lie sleeping on the sands,
'rIll the fierce trumpet Of the storm
Hath summoned up their laundering bands;
Then the white sails are dashed like foam,
Or hurry trembling Der the seas,
Till Gained by thee, the sinking gale
Sereiiely breathes-depnrt in peace.
Gsd of,he forests solemn shade.
The grandeur OF the lonely tree
That wrcstles spgly with the gale,
Lihs up admiring eyes TO thee;
But more majestic fat they stand
When, side BY side, their ranks they form.
Tc wsvr OH high their plumes Of green,
And fight their battles with the storm.
God Of the Il ;ht aud viewl,ss air
Where summer brecEes sweetly flow
Or gathering in their angry iS6,,
The fierce and wintry teuipests blow:
All-trom the Evenings pl,intiye sigh
That hardly lifts the dropping flower,
To the wild whirlwind's midnight cry
breathe forth the language OF thy p1yer.
tod OF the fair and open sllv.
How glcriolSly above us springs
The tented robe OF heavenly blue
Suspended the rainbow'i rinCs;
Each brilliant star that sparkies through
Each gilied cloud that ~anders Tree
IN evening purple radianee-giyes
Thebeauty Of its praise 10 thee.
God of the rolling orb, above,
Thy nauie is written clearly bright
In The warm days unvaryinS blaze
o. evening, golden shower OF Light.
Fur every tire that fronts the sun,
aud every spark that walks alone
Around the utmost veise of heaven,
We're kindled THY burning ihronc.
God of the world the hour must Gomez
Ajld nature itself to dust return;
Her ctumbiing affairs niust decay,
iIci incense fires shall cease to burn:
But still her grand and lovely scenes
Have made man's wirncst praises flow,
For hearts grew holier they traced
The beauty OF the world below.
