On the rocks where pilgrims kneel'd

TOCSIN OF LIBERTY.

1t burst on the dome of the sky
Like thunder, and woke up the brave,
Then swept through the blue canopy
Like voices from oceans stern wave;
The valleys its echoes rang out,
1t answered from shore and from hill,
stern Freedoms omnipotent shout,
And millions responded the peal
Like clouds by the winds phalanxe deep
The sons Of proud Liberty came,
From the valleys and mountains high steep,
Ihe fields and the temples Of fame;
From the halls of pleasure and PRIDE
And rushed on their blood thirsty foes,
Like the wave of the billowy tide,
With the might Of an earthquakes throes.
The plough was left standing alone,
The cries of the mother and child,
And the maiden's heart thrilling groaf,
Were lost In the tocsin so wild;
The clangor of war rallied fast
The freemen that tyranny made,
The hour of forbearance had pass'd,
Their pledges were valiantly paid.
Like giants refreshed with new wine,
Or storms that had gathered for years,
They burst like the death sleeping mine,
And won Independence with cheers:
For home and for country they fought
With prayers to the God of their sires,
Resolved the broad land they had songht
Should brighten with Liberty's fires.
Undaunted they passed to the field,
And routed The veteran foe,
With Liberty's banner and shield
They struck home the invincible blow:
The star of our freedom theD rose,
To burn in its glory alone,
Immortal in beauty it glows,
Unclouded forever to run.

Congress.-It is now six mo nths since
Congress assembled at its present session,
and nothing of consequence has yet been
done. Every thing which has been ac-
compished has been carried through by the
most strenuous and determined opposition
of the wings. Even the treasury nete
bill, the early passage of which was rem
dered necessary TO preserve the public
credit and carry on the government, was
fought against inch by inch. 1t was car
ried through the Honse by force of the
previous question, of which the wings
complained and in the Senate Mr.. Clay
charged the chairman Of the committee Of
finance (Mr. WrighD with violation of
parliamentary propriety for reporting upon
the bill the same day that it came up from
the House. There has not been single
measure brought forward by the adminstra-
ton which the wings have not opposed and
tried to stave offan defeat. The people
will hold the opposition responsible for this
\ delay and consequent expense in accom-
plishing the appropriate business Of the SEES.
