The iross beneath, 10 doieful pligh5

1h<ir gau bOls STOPPED, and all their fun.
Salf numb, they murmured drcAmily
What they Md do when they were lite.
Omce clI ar of winters icy yoke,
They promised never more TO oroati
No more in concert would they rail
But each should sing like nightingale.
The south wiud rlew, the ice gave way,
The ftogp once more could frisk and play;
They stretched their limbs, they lciped ashore
And they--crOaked as drearily as before.

A dispatch from Baltimore, dated April
18th, says:
The Inauguration exercises of the Great
Fair at the Maryland Institute tonight were
very imposing. The Presidents appearance
in the Hall was greeted with tremendous APP
plause. After the inaugural address of Gov.
Bradford, the President was loudly called for,
and, in response, proceeded to make a brief
address. He referred to the great change
that had taken place in Baltimore during the
last three wears, The world, he said, had
long been in want OF correct definition OF
the word freedom. Whilst all present advo-
Gated liberty, there was in their minds many
very opposite views of what liberty was
With one man, liberty implied to work for
himself and to do as he pleased with the pro-
ceeds of his labor. With others, liberty
meant to do as you please with other men
and their labor. One of these two conflict
ing ideas would have to give way to the
other. He thought from some occurrences
which had lately taken place in Maryland,
that her people were about TO determine
which of these views of freedom should con-

He then alluded to the occurrences report

ored people, he thought it only just they
should have the same protection as the white
soldiers, (applause,) and he hesitated not to
declare the Government would so protect
them to the utmost of its power.
