States That they the first to sprinkle their ma
tive soil with blood in defence of American freedom,
let the memorable scenes of Lexington and Bunker
Hill attest and we are sustained by facts when we
say, that no portion of the " Old Thirteen States
displayed devotion to the cause OF Liberty, or
more readily furnished men and money to sustain the
" good cause,' than the six New England States. In
the late with Great Britain, stand indebted for
many glorious trumphs the ocean to the skill
and bravery of our Northern seamen ; for it will be
found examination, that nlneenths of our officers
and seamen from the Northern States
| The object of Mr. Everett in visiting the West
to view the state of moral and physical improve
ment; and desire to become thoroughly acquainted
with the habits manners, character and resources of
our country. 1t would be well, if all the members of
Congress could find it convenient to take occasion
al tour to the different parts of the Union. BY thus
becoming acquainted with the whole country, from
personal inspections they would be better enabled to
promote such measures would tend to advance the
general goods and it would have tendency to recon-
cile sectional animoslties, and promote harmony
and good feeling, between the fancied conflicting in
terests of the different portions of our country.

Dinner to Mr. Ererett.-We have read the account
of the dinner to Mr. EuegeH at Nashville, with great
pleasure. This attention to our fellow citizen Of
ered mark of respect to his distinguished litera-
ny attanments, and we believe who knows the
real merit of Mr. Everett scholar will deny, that
there are few scholars of his years in our country
deserving of honorable mark of distinction.
His speech on the occasion was apt and eloquent, en-
bodying within a small compass mass of valuable
and interesting facts.
But we look to the remote effects of this and other
similar manifestations of good will and interchange
of civites between the citizens of different States
and of the distant sections of common country,
as far more important than the qualification of ndi-
vdual feeling the expression of personal respect.
They serve to bind us together, to draw tighter the
bond of union, to hallow and endear to those in
situations and that system of federal government which
make us the citizens of one wide extended Republic
They teach the West to sympathise with the East they
bind the North to the South, making us all to know
and feel that great and essential interests are the
same and that in the union of the States is our safety
and strength. This feeling of attachment to the uni
of the States indeed all important to our nation
al prosperity and every means of encouraging it de-
serves the sincere commentator of the pario while
on the other hand hardly any can be too Sc
for those who should raise the parricda hand to
strike fatal blow at this foundation of our blessings
and our hopes. The effect Of such meetings as that
at Nashville, must be to break down the walls of pre-
Judce which separate different portions of our coun-
try, to produce in their stead feelings of good will
and thus to fortfy and strengthen attachment to
the Union-to pre-dispose to dscountenance those
local ealouses, which apparently adverse interests
when brought in conflict, tend to produce. We ap-
plaud the honorable lberaGty with which the citizens
of Nashville have paid iatterng attention to dis
tinguished scholar and citizen of New England and
Massachusetts, butwe rejoice more, that the effect of
