saw, in Saturdays Herald, a response to your
first movement, in relation to grand reception
that should be given to Messrs. Stevens, Wilkes,
and Hamilton, who exhibited the yacht America,
at the late great trial Of speed In English waters
This response to your proposition is WELL and shows
that there is a disposition among the mass Of the
people to foster and encourage every effort made by
countrymen to excel every other nation in naval
skill and marine architecture.
As nation we are comparatively yet young
but when. or where have We ever been se,ond to
any power sea or on land As small as our little
navy was during the two wars, we successfully
passed through with the flag that has
g. for thousand years,
Bravsd the battle and the breeze"
We conquered We nobly conquered, and Britain
MIA "rules the waves" no longer.
Our sailing packets have long been the pride and
boast Of our countrymen. Our clipper ships, which
are daily being launched, in point Of beauty and
speed, cannot be approached by any other nation
Our Collins line OF packet steamers have proved
themselves the paragon Of excellence, durability,
and celebrity and that we should lately have been
the victor in the great race which has just trans.
PRED, makes us feel proud Of our countryproud Of
ctizens-ptoud Of our resources, and proud also
that We live under the laws Of government
that imposes no restrictions on the efforts of
genius and enterprise.
Let our people, then, "go-a.head." That is our
motto. March on-propel-span the continent
With Gordon of clippers and steamers. Whiten
the oceans with canvass, from the Arctic to the
Antarctic circle! Go east-go west-go north-go
souih-go every where and bear the seed and fruit
of liberty to the bengbied, down-trodden, aud OF
pressed Of every land This it Is our destiny to do.
Ii has been decrecd by the Almighty tina. our
naval marine shall be the great regenera.or Of the
world

native shore; ard tell them, that as they ha re
nobly honered us abroad, we will honor them when
they arrive At home. AMERCUs.
