FOR THE FOURTH OF JUL

FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Expelled by stern eppression's hand,
Our fathers left their native. land
Sought this new world, and strove to gain
"A refuge from tyrant's chain. !.
Exposed to savage beasts Of prey,
And savage men more fierce than they,'
And midnight yells were doomed to hear,
Resembling on the startled ear.
That Power Supreme. Whose constant care
Guards cen the featbered tribes Of air,
Spread His protecting shield around,
Their lives to guard, their foes confound.
Where savage beasts raised fearful cries
Cities in stately grandeur rise;
Where thorns and briars alone found room,
There harvests wane and gardens bloom.
This day demands grateful song,
Let praises dwell on ev'ry tongue,
The subject ev'ry mind employ,
In ONE exulting strain Of Joy. X. Y

qEAD Ms0 WEDNESDAY,

IS ZEN. MS lnd1Vldual,
whose recent military achievements
have given him q commanding stand in
the eye Of the world, Isl. we believe,
native Of western giniia. He emi,s
grated, early IN life, to Tennessee. His
original occupation was that Of a car
penter, but he did not long pursue it.
The early lawyers Of the west had but
little faith in the viginti dapoyGna IT,
cubrationes theory; and 50 Houston
was not long in reaching the bar. Pos
sessed Of an ardent and active magma
ton, natural elocution, and a form
upon which
Every god has set his seal
To give the world assurance Of man,
he rose rapidly to distinction among
the congenial spirits by whom he was
surrounded. He was sent to Congress,
but |0es not appear that he attained
to al Deat influence or consideration
in that body. His early education was
detective, and his mind was not cast
il q proper mould to fit him for dis
tinguished participation in the labors of
a deliberative assembly. He was short
~ afterwards chosen Governor Of Ten
nessee, and it was at this period that an
event occurred, which drove him from
the society ofhis friends, and destroyed
all his brilliant prospects. He was
married to a very amiable and beauti-
full woman, but in the course Of very
few weeks, she claimed the protection
of her parents, and refused to live UNI
der his roof. Popular indignation was
reused against him, and, abandoning
the gubernatorial Office, he assumed the
dress and habits Of an Indian, and took
up his abode with some Of the southern
tribes. Here he became great favor
lite of an aged chief, and acquired inau-
ence and distinction among his savage
associates. Feeling aggrieyed at some
incautious reflections upon his charac-
ter which fell from member Of Con-
gress, he came on to Washington, in
fiicted summary punishment upon the
offending member, and was publicly
reprimanded by order Of the house.
We then lost sight Of him until he APP
pears as the colnmander-in-chief Of the
Texan army, a post in which he has
displayed prudence and skill Of the
highest order.
