II him.
Oar A;accios spires, Corsica's isle,
and oceans breast that foamed the while,
Rnt seen from distant realms OF earth,
That star arose TO hail my birth,
And light me to the haughtiest throne
That any, save the Gods, have known.
Al least that e'er was bought with blood,
From Indus to the Volga's flood.
In halcyon peace and battle fray
I've read my fortunes in its ray,
When midst Nights gorgeous coronal
OF millions, it outshone them all;
Or, tempest rob'd, its cheering beam
Blazed where no other dared TO CLEAN.
My midnight vigis to beguile
I've watched its image in the Nile;
And where the Magi used to gaze
To form the horoscope of kings.
I've loved to see its silver blaze
Fall on my Eagles folded wings.
O'er Mount ST. Bernards awful height,
All readily Ger the brow of night,
What time my meteor banners rose
Ger avalanche and Alpine SHOWS,
Around my standard in the clouds;
And still more brilliant did it rise
Above the smoke e-enveloped skies
OF Mincio, Wagram, Marengo,
And Hohenlinden's blushing snow;
When dropped my ensigns DER the field
Where empires had been taught to yield,
And brighter still, and brighter glowed,
AS on the mighty deluge flowed,
That to my very feet swept down
The Bourbon and the iron crown,
And redder still, and redder beam'd,
Till Venice, Naples, Rome were mine,
My banners o'er the Tagus streamed,
And famed along the Rhine.
And yet, thou bright and glorious star!
Thou'st tempted even me too far;
] trembled as thy light grew tame
O'er Moscow's rolling sea Of fame,
And saw hundred thousand lay
In death beneath thy frozen ray:
That instant from my grasp was hurld
The Egls of a crouching world,
And, Ger the retrospect Of blood,
A musing, powerless man, stood,
Till round my throbbing brow, accurst,
The crumbling Krimln's cinders burst
did not weep, did not pray,
! wished not to survive that day;
And had perished with smile,
Beneath so grand funeral pile;
But Beuhernois and Murat bore
Me, struggling, in their arms away,
Where hilt and rowel red with gore,
My famished ranks had won that day.
Once more from Elba's pictured plain
saw thee, Ger the Egean main,
So iercely glow, so redly shine,
! thought the world again was mine;
And springing to my glorious France,
barred my bosom to her lance,
And wept, tho fallen, still to see,
Of all my veteran soldiery,
Not one but still, to shield my life,
Had mingled in the deadliest strife,
And freely, e'er my blood had flown,
A nation would have poured its own.
But, treacherous star! what boots to tell
The grief-the agony-the hell
That wrung my heart, as paid grew
Thy blaze DER damning Waterloo,
Where urged my bngles wild alarms,
The few against the world in arms;
While yet the iron storm was driven,
And gushed the war-clouds crimson rain,
saw thy light retreat from heaven,
And set-to rise-no, ne'er again.

Well-)uOglng OF all partcS, TO and us In the under
taking. In this cause we recognise no minor
creed. Welook not at the mansion of our Presi-
dent, with an ambition to place any particular in
dividual there; but our eyes will be kept stead
fast to the rock Of American principles. We will
see nothing but the banner of our native land
streaming over the extreme confines of our coun-
try, and to our ears will come no other PRAYER
than the true American worship, around the altar
of American liberty.
The minor objects Of the paper will be the adj
vancement of our own indigenous literature: and
while we are willing and ready to pay the highest
tribute Of merted respect to the literature of other
lands, will not do it at the expense Of native,
whose works are not read, because he has not the
stamp Of Murray on his title page, or the appro-
baton of Blackwood on the outside cover Of his
volume. We will not carry the war Of our prn-
ciples against the shrines of genius-they are sa-
cred, most peculiarly so TO our heart, and are
above the changing phases of the political dramas
Domestic and current intelligence shall be re-
gularly given, in a short and agreeable manner.
The proceedings Of Congress will be condens-
ed, and sketches Of speeches and speakers given
during the Session, with lively outline Of events
as they transpire at the Seat Of Government. In
no instance will party politics be allowed to bias
the editorial pen, but men will be treated with i'm
and opinion with the utmost and most
delicate respect.
