OIGrN OF HAL CoLUMBiA. We clip
the following from the Baltimore Repu6h'
can:
In the year El79S, when patriotic feel
ing peIvaded the country, and when there
were several parties in the field, Mr.. Fox,
who was more admired for his vocal than
histronic powers. called one morning up
on his friend, Mr.. Hopkinson; and after
stating that the following evening had been
appointed for his benefit, and expressing
great fear for the result, as not single box
was taken, begged his friend 10 do some>
thing in his behalf. "If," said Fox, "you
will write some patriotic verses to the tune
of the Presidents march, | feel sure of
full! house. Several Of the people about
the theatre have come TO the conclusion
that il cannot be done; yet think it may
succeed " Mr.. Hopkinson retired TO his
study, and in short time wrote the first
verse and chorus, which were submitted to
Mrs. llopknson, who sang them 10 plane
accompaniment, and proved the measure to
be compatible and 10 keeping. In this way
The second and other verses were written
and when Mr.. Fox returned in the even
ing, he received with delight tie song as it
now stands.
The following morning, small handbills
announced that Mr. Fox would sing new
patriotic song, etc. The theatre was crow
ded; the song was sung and received with
rapture; It vas repeated eight times ard
again cmcorcf- and when sung the ninth
time, the whole audience stood up and Join
ed IN chorus. Night after night, "Hail
Columbia" Chcered the visitors OF the thea
ire; and IN very few days ii was the uni
versal song Of the boys in the streets,
from one cad Of the city to the other
Nor was the dstingu shed author of this
truly national song-a song which met the
entire appreciation Of all parties Of the day
forgotten. The street in which he re-
sided, on one accession was crowded, and
Hail Columbia" broke on the Stiffness of
midnight from Il hundred patrioc voices.
