ERIN.
The ocean waves were glad and free,
And sw Getty sang sacred song,
And Erin's echoes joyously
The music bore along.
Twas Freedom taught the deep to smile,
And cheered and blest the lovely Isle
The rugged mountain heights were proud
With rosy maids, and valiant men;
The verdant wales, exulting loud,
Were haunts for fairies then
And silvery lake, and flashing stream,
Were many bard's enchanting theme
A cloud deforms the sunny sky,
The startled waves Of Ocean roar,
And misery's despairng cry
Resounds from shore TO shore
The clash of steel-the groan-the yell
And Erin's JOY and glory fell
Behold ION yonder hill behold
And calm his mighty heart, and cold
His fair, majestic brow -
And she-last eve his blushing bride
In pale oblivion sleeps beside
And every mount, and vale, and plain,
Reveals the sire, and wife, and child,
BY soldier hands, implying, slain,
And cen in death revied
And those who tpe--alas, their doom
Is darker still than battles tombls
But dwells there not on beauty S Isle,
Though letters bind, and wrongs Cypress,
Some hearts that nobly beat the while,
For Erin's happiness!
And is there not a tongue to swear
An eye to frown-an arm to dare
Awake arise IT'S Freedoms call
The World commands ye forth obey!
The power Of tyranny shall fall,
And sink, abashed away
Oh, emulate your old renown,
And hurl the proud oppressors down!

THE WIND CHANGED.

Day before yesterday, the Globe was rampant
against every body who dared TO show the least
respect for PRESIDENT TYLER during his visit
TO the North. No doubt the editor supposed
the example of the Clay Common Councils OF
the different cities, combined with the influence
of the Clay presses and the moral force of the
Globe, ould certainly prevent the Republican
citizens from evincing their admiration of their
Republican President during his tour. But the
the Chief Magistrate, in the Chief city Of the
Union, seems most miraculously TO have dis
PEELED all such pleasing anticipatons.
The Globe, therefore, has wheeled about,
deeming il discreet and polite to swim with
the tide. Hence 1t perpeirates the following
change of wind
