-" A pretty plaything,
Dear deceit" y

We honor the chivalrous Difference
which is paid to woman. 1t proves that
Our men know how to respect virtue and
pure affection, and that our women are
worthy of such respect. Yet women
should be something more than mere wo-
man to win us to her society. To be our
companions, they should be fitted TO be
our friends to rule our hearts, they
should be deserving the appreciation 4of
our minds. There are many such, and
that there are no more, is rather the fault
of our sex than their own; and despite
all the unmanly scandals that have been
thrown upon them in prose or verse, they
would rather share in the rational CONVEX
sation of men of sense, than listen to the
silly compliments of fools; and man
dishonors them as well as disgraces him.

WHAT DO WE LIVE FORT

What do we live for y? is it to be
The sport of fortunes power'
10 launch our bark on pleasures sea,
And float perhaps an hour?
To waste our time in idle dreams
Ofwhat may be tomorrow,
To CLEAN with care from present scenes
The source of future sorrow?
What do we live for? is't to find
The ties Of friendship broken,
That loves sound TO cheat mankind,
And dies as soon as spoken!
To mark the woes on Others hurled
Nor weep their hapless lot!
TO hate our fellow-curse the world
TO die and be forgot!
No! we were formed to seek FOR truth
Through paths made plain by reason;
To hail that light in earliest youth
Which shines in every season.
Yes! we were made to win below
The boon hereafter given;
TO calmly smile at earthly wo,
And find our home in heaven.

fELLOw-CITIZENs
If the occasion on which it might have
fallen to my lot to have addressed so nu-
merOus an assemblage OF my fellow-citi-
zens, had have been of far more ordna-
ry character than that which has brought
us here to-day, | should feel that ] per-
ceived in the audience | am now about to
address, to me so unusual, more than
common necessity to ask Of you, your
most favorable indulgence. If, however,
permit myself to reflect on the great
event, whose emblem see floating yon-
der, on the great principles which occa-
stoned it, and the importance of its results,
| cannot fail to be most deeply impressed,
with the difficulty of meeting as could
wish, what this occasion requires-if, to
these considerations | may be permitted
to add, that the interposition of unexpec-
ted avocations since have been honored
by your choice to address you on this oc-
casion, has prevented my devoting to it
that attention which my respect for those
who conferred that honor would have
alone prompted, hope | may be per-
mitted to rely with more than usual con-
fdence on your indulgence to excuse
whatever may fall short of that which the
occasion, and your own just expectations
might require.
1t is sixty-four years this day, since an
event, which is an era, not in our own
history only, but in the annals of the
world, took place. 1t was on that day
that ffty-six men, for themselves and their
country, by solemn declaration, in the
face of the world and of Heaven, avowed
their determination to be free. With them
it was no idle vaunt. Upon it they stalk
ed not only life, but what to them was
more valuable, their fortunes and their
sacred honor. Nor was it for themselves
that they thus hazarded every thing thai
is valuable to man. Their chains nigh
have been, ,could have been guided: i
would have been for as, when time ant
art had rendered the victim secure, t.
have worn the undisguised manacle. |
was this which was foreseen: it was TO
this that they dared the horrors of war
and the penalties of treason. Let III
pause for one moment to consider wha
this liberty is, which could inspire SO no
BILE resolution in the breasts of grey
headed men-which inspired them t,
jeopardize every thing that in this worlc
is valuable, and armed them with fortltud,
to bear the consequences Of the sacrifice.
Liberty, like every thing deemed sacret
among men, is invaluable, or a bauble
according to the existing sentiment o
those who may feel, or may want its pow
er. Yet it is an impulse like the cease
less play Of the lungs, or beating of tn
heart, its sentiment, more or less pure
ceases but with life. In its full enjoy
ment, it is difficult to conceive the abject
ness Of its privation deprive the mean

the prospect of soon ranking America, which
has ever been the land of the free, of the no
Bile, and of the brave, among the DespotIc ma

These Despots would give millions and mill

why should they Because the light OF liber-
ty has ever shone here in its vestal brightness.
Its refugent rays have been shed abroad over
every despots land. This is the reason why
they would delight to see the sun Of American
freedom forever go down. Did the first strug-
giles of our furefaihers attract the attention OF
the great men of the Old World-they look
with scarce less interest upon the present. They
see the approaching and sure steps to despot-
ism already taken, and doubtless their only
fear is that American freemeu will discover be-
fore they become securely fettered, the attempt
TO wrest from them their rights, and put down
all attempts at Tyranny. This is what they
fear-ths is what the present administration
fears. The men In power hope TO lure away
