Shame is great restraint upon sinners at first !;
but that soon falls off ard when men have once
lost their Innocence, their modesly is not like to BIZ
long troublesome to them For impudence comes
on with vice. and grows up with it. Lesser vices
do not Danish all shame and modesly; but great and

make them shameless. When men have the hear,

Kings were quell'd, and freedom won,
Where the dust of Washington,

Greece scarce rises from the tomb
Rome hath shorn her eagle plume,
Lost her conquering name
Youthful Nation of the West!
Rise with truer greatness blest,
Santed ones from realms of rest,
Mark thy path to fame.

Stretch thy sway from sea to sea,
Who shall bid thee bend the knee
To tyrant's throne

Liberty thy beacon light,
God himself thy shield of might,

Washington, July 49, 1896
Intelligence has been received at this Office from
Liberia, up to the 18th of May, representing the
Colony to be in very healthy and prosperous cir
cumstaDces. The Government of Sierra Leone
has laid blockade the line of coast reaching
from that Colony to Cape Mount, which promises
to destroy, as it has already suspended, the Slave
Trade, hitherto carried on from the Gallinas. The
Colonial Agent at Montscrado has interdicted the
trade from Cape Mount to Trade Town (12O niles
on the ground OF qualified jurisdiction, actually
held by the Colony over this whole district of coun.
try. II is therefore confidently believed that this
odous traffic is forever banished by these measures
from three hundred miles of coast The traffic of
the natives is consequently turned into new chan
nell and fowls, vegetables, cattle, and rice, in hh
erto unknown abundance, are now brought 10 the
American Colony.

"'Reso!red, That this meeting take pride IN sc-
knowledging their continued adherence TO those
political principles, which were taught by Jeffer

opinion, are the only true doctrine. of the con-
stitution."
This last resolution breathes that ardent attach
hent to The true doctrines Of the constitution on
which the prosperity of our country so essentially
depends. We hail it with delight.
Both parties in New York seem to have agreed
10 lay over their opinions national politics till
the state struggle is over Fer the first time near.
~, neither OF them has adopted any resolutions in

Government Some Of the members Of the Utica
Convention were anxious to declare their fealtv.
but tear forbad them. II is said, up,n good au
thority, that 7-sihs of the Herkimer Convention
were opposed to the National Administration. In
truth we sreinformed, that bone muscle of the
Republican party in N. York are in the opposition.
The time is not probably far distant when this fac,
will be clearly demonstrated. In the mean time
