By CHARLES SWAIN.
Take the spade Of Perseverance,
Dig the field Of Progress wide;
Every rotten root Of faction
Hurry ont, and cast aside;
Every stubborn weed of error;
Every seed that hurts the soil;
Tares, whose very growth is terror
Dig them out, where'er the toll!
Give the stream of Education,
Broader channel, holder force;
uurl the stones of Persecution
Out, where'er they block its course:
Seek for strength In self exertion!
Work, and Still have faith TO wait;
Close the Crooked gate to fortune;
Make the road to honor straight!
Men are agents for the Future!
As they work SO ages win
Either harvest Of advancenlent-
Or the product Of their sin!
Follow out true cultivation,
Widen Education's plan;
From the majesty of Nature
Teach the majesty Of Man!
Take the spade Of Perseverance;
Dig the field Of Progress vide;
Every bar to true instruction
Carry out and cast aside;
Feed the plant whose fruit Is Wisdom,
Cleanse from crime the common sod;
30 that from the throne Of Heaven
1t may bear the glance of God.

BY the bark Leopold we have dates from

later Letters by this arrival sta,e all attem DTS
to accommodate matters have been utterly foil
ed, and the most formidable preparations have
beenmade on both sldes-one to save and the
other to capture the city. The Buenos Ayrean
Government have issued 100000 additional
money have proclaimed martial law--closed
the Custom House and other offices, have re.
quired all abe bodied men to bear arms in the
army. Urqaz1 on the 18th recommended to
daily besiege the city, and on the gath provis
ions had become scarce and in demand. He
also threatens to blockade the port. but this the
Buenos Ayreans hope to prevent b. means
probably OF the Intervention Of foreign powers
Another letter says, from the preparations
made we are likely to have warmer work and
much bloodshed.
The ships Margaret and bark Thorndike were
the only American vessels in port.
