The mind, in these early seasons Of the day. is so refreshed in all it's faculties. and borne up with such new supplies of animal spirits, that she finds herself in state Of youth. especial Dy when she is ruicrtaincd with inc breath of flowers. the mcindy of birds, the dews that hang upon the pauts, and all those other sweets 0fnh;nrr ;ha' are peculiar to the morn ing" Whr caa ac!p responding to feelings s0 beautifully r>?rrssrd!
 Nature is ihou; tO be deckcd in all her charms, and appear in all her loveliness. She is already spreading her carpet Of green, and embrOidering her garments with Bowers. She invites tIs to enjoy her loveliness, in her love- Hest moments.
 Our Prospects-It is cheering to the heart of an American--One who feels as citizen of this free and happy country should ftel- to witness the rapid progress Of improvement -the increasing triumph of mechanical pow CT over physical OppostiOn-Ofm mind over 0a- ture. What mighty alteration has few years made in the aspect ofEOur country. Her widest rccesses have been explOred- places the most dark aud rude and desOlate. where the rough earth and the fOaming tor rent seem t0 have found their respective sit- uations during some mighty cOnvusi0n or nature, have yielded to the skill and enter prize of her citizens, and along their conquer ed and unsecmly wastes, the village and the manufactory have arisen like the creation of a dream. The mountain torrent, whose march has been onward from the beginning of time, whose strength had hitherto been wasted on the rocks of its own channel, has been arrested in its unproductive freedom. and it's power applied to the benefit of man. Our people are beginning to feel and know, that, to he truly independent, America must rely upon herself-upon her own exhaustless resources. The experiment has in some de- gree been made, and it has thus far succeed ed. to the admiration of its friends and the confusion of it's enemies. The good work has commenced. and with the blessing of God it will go on until America, no longer fettsred by foreign monopoly, shall become all that it's founders intended-independen in the spirit as well as in the letter.
