The golden harp of civilization and pro
gress needed one chord Of iron to sustain
her sterner harmonies, and it has been
added by Cyrus w. Field May it sound
in glory and vigor until the end of time,
and fve-and-tweuty minutes later.

hests, and ocean has obeyed him. Xerxes.
the naughty Roman, caused fetters to be
flung into that Arcbipelagus in sign of his
dominion; but Cyrus W. Field has thrown
one fetter across the waste of waters, not
for dominion, but for freedom o noble

From the Governor Of Missouri
When the heart would speak in presence
of miracle, the words are feeble; but our
souls rush out in song; and we sing to you,
brothers, in the strains of our native and
inimitable land - s..-
London, It is very big,
America is bigger;
Do not let US care fig i

Hail Columbia happy land. Now fast

From he Governor of Ohio.
If England has given us no more towards
our great American sea triumph, she has
given us thought in the name of her lit
tie vessel which waited upon our giant
feet. The Agamemnon's name is cor
ruption of Memnon, the ancient Hebrew
warrior, whose statue, on the plains of
Thessaly, sounded out one note when the
morning sun shone upon it. So, now when
the sun of enlightment dawns from Ameri-
ca upon Occidental darkness, the electric
ray flashes from us TO the Hibernian shore,
may the inexpensive slave of feudalism for
the first time raise the music note of liber-
ty.
From Ae GOreTnor Of Nebraska.
We salute you. Give old England rope
enough, and size will hang herself, but not
in despair. No, the aged and effete island
ties herself to the apron strings of vigorous
young America, and looks to her for sup
port and succor Shall England look in
vain, my brothers !
From the Governor Of .N'e,o Hampshire.
Yankee Doodle used to ride
On a little pony,
Now he talks to t'Other side
In twenty minutes only.
From The Governor Of Deldieare.
The b'hoys must have their amusements
and SO we've tied England to q long
string to a strong string, aud we'll fly her
like an almighty great kite. When we're
tired of the sport, and want to be quit of
#, we calculate we'll just wind her in, and
hang her up on one of the monster trees of
our unfathomable forests. Guess we've
utilised the tarnation old caution at last

From the Governor Of Arkansas.
fhis here we look upon as the real crea-
ton of the world, the other was but sort
of rehearsal. Now is given to the eastern
inarticulate continents voice of humanity |
and intelligence, and they can now whisper
their hopes and fears to majectie America, |
and receive from her lessons of wisdom and |
greatness. The educational work is conf
ded to us, friends, and we viii not slack
Along the awful chasms of the roaring
ocean shall fly the teachings of liberty, and
Fields wire, like the spear of Uranus, shall
touch the squat toad of despotism at the
ear of Eve, and the fiend, starting up in

be spiked like bng beetle upon the erys-

From the Governor Of PennsylUani0.
FREUD Field thee have, according to
worthy evidence, done part of thy task,
aud it is well. When thee has fastened
both ends of thy string; and the 6xings,
and has greatly and finally reduced the
price of thy messages, we may see cause
for further communication with thee
Meantime, friend, we wish the success, but
decline to burn money in fireworks, melt 1t
in strong liquors, or waste it in wasting
time upon idle demonstrations. Amen !
From the Governor Of LOaisiaaG.
1.-TWO nations 10 two different ages riz,
Stand prominently out OF the abyss,
One England respectable old hoss,
Aud one, America, of giant force.
