The True Spirit OF '7G.

On the day succeeding the adoption Of
the Declaration of independence, JOHN
ADAMS, eXulting in that glorious event,
addressed letter to Mrs. Adams, in which
may be found the following spirited, patri-
otic and prophetic paragraph:
yesterday the greatest question was
decided that was ever debated in America
and greater, perhaps, never was or will be
decided among men. A resolution was
passed, without one dissenting colony,
that these United States are, and of right
ought to be, Free aud Independent States.'
The day is past. The fourth of July, 1776,
will be memorable epoch in the history of
America. | am apt to believe IT WILL
BE CELEBRATED BY SUCCEEDING
GENERATIONS, AS THE GREAT
f ESTIV l.. 1t
ought to be commemorated as the day of
delverauce, by solemn acts Of devotion to
Almighty God. 1t ought to be solemnzed
with ponps, shows, games, sports, guns,
bells, bou-iires, and illuminations, from one
cud Of the continent TO the other, from this
time forward forever! You will think me-
transported with enthusiasm, but l am
not. l am well aware of the toll and blood
aud treasure, that it will cost to maintain
this declaration, and support and defend
these States yet through all the gloom, I
can see the days Of light and glory. l can
see that the end is worth more than all the
means and that posterty will triumph,
although you and may rue, which hope
we shall nOt.D

God bless the good old thirteen States;
God bless the young ones too;
Who cares for musty birthday dates
God bless them Old and New.
The old ones first our freedom gaiu'd
In bloody fight of yore
The young ones have our rights maintained
AS the old ones did before.
No South, or North, or East, or West,
Twin sisters all they be
One mother nursed them at her breast,
And that was Liberty.
And may the wretch whose hand shall strive
To cut their vital thread,
Be scorned while in this world alive,
Aud gcorned when he is dead.
Now fll the bowl with Natures wine,
Let's drink "God save the King"
The only King by right divine,
The Sovereign Peoples King.
For they're the only King own,
All Others despise,
The King that towers above the throne,
The King that never dies.
o. may that sceptre wide extend,
O'er every land and sea,
Without beginning without end,
And conquer to set free.
Till freedoms banner floats alone,
A beacon in the sky,
And man no other Lord shall, own,
But Him who rules on high.

Introduction TO the Declaration OF
Independence.

In the Congress of 1776, the great ques-
ton of American Liberty came first to be
discussed. On the Sth of May, Mr.. Adams
offered Il resolution that the Colonies should
adapt governments adequate to the wants
of the Country, and independent of Great
Britain. The success of this resolution on
the 18th was considered as decisive of the
question of allegiance to any foreign power.
On the 7th of June, Richard Henry Lee,
seconded by Mr.. Adams, moved in Con-
gross the evcr.memorable resolution Of
American Independence. The debate con-
tinued until the 10Th, when the considera-
ton of the resolution was postponed until
the lst of July. The next day Thomas
Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Frank
lin, Roger Sherman and II. r. Livingston,
were appointed to prepare draught of a
Declaration of Independence. The two
gentlemen first named on this Committee
having been deputed sub Committee to
draw up Declaration, at the desire Of Mr.
Adams it was prepared by Mr.. Jefferson.
On the 1st of July, the question on the
resolution was again resumed, and unani-
mously agreed to on the second. Mr.. JEFF
ierson has told us that "the Colossus of
that Congress great pillar and support
of the Declaration of Independence, and
its ablest advocate and champion on the
floor of the House, was John Adams. In
that moment of darkness, of terror and of
CONSERVATION, when the election was to be
made between an attempt at Liberty and
Independence on the one hand, and defeat,
subjugatiOn and death on the other, the
courage of Adams, in the true spirit of he
roism, rose in proportion TO the danger
which pressed around him and he poured
forth that only genuine eloquence, the elo-
quence of the soul, which, in the language
of Mr.. Jefferson, "moved his hearers from
their seats" The objections of his adver-
saries were seen no longer but in state Of
wreck floating in broken fragments on the
billows of the storm, and over rocks, over
breakers and amid ingulphing whirlpOols,
that everywhere surrounded him, he
brought the gallant ship Of the Nation safe
into port."F "Wirt.
The Declaration already prepared was
taken into consideration on the 4th of
July, 177G-a day never to be forgotten
when it received the sanction of the whole
Congress.

SONG OF THE AMERICAN GIRL.

Our hearts are with our native land,
Our song is for her glory;
Her warriors wreath is in our hand,
Our lips breathe out her story.
Her lofty hills and valleys green,
Are smiling bright before us,
And like rainbow sign is seen,
Her proud flag waving DER us.
And there are smiles upon our lips,
For those who meet her foeman
For glory's star knows no eclipse,
When smiled upon by woman,
For those who brave the mighty deep,
Aud scorn the mighty threat of danger
We've smiles to cheer, and tears to weep
For every ocean ranger.
Our hearts are with our native land,
Our song is for her freedom
Our prayers are for the gallant band,
Who strike where honor'll lead 'em.
We love the tainted air we breathe,
IT'S Freedoms endless dover;
Wen twiue for him an endless wreath,
Who scorns a tyrants power.
They tell of Frances beauties rare,
OF Italy's proud daughters,
of Scotland's lasses-England's fair,
And nymphy's of Shannon's waters;
We need not all their boasted charms,
Though lords around them hover
Our glory lies in Freedoms arms,
freeman for lover.

DECLARATION ofINDEpENDENCE
IN CONGRESS, JULY /, l776.


When, in the course of human events, it
becomes necessary for our people to dissolve
the political bands which have connected
them with another, and to assume, among
the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the laws Of nature
and of natures God entille them, a decent
respect for the opinions of mankind requires
that they should declare the causes which
impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evidcnt,
that all men are created equal that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights that among these are
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
That, to secure these rights, governments
are instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the govern
ed that, whenever any form of govern
ment becomes destructive to these ends, 1t
is the right of the people to alter or to abol-
ish it, and to institute new government,
laying its foundation on such principles,
and organizing its powers in such form, as
to them shall seem most likely to effect
their safety and happiness. Prudence, in
deed, will dictate, that governments long
established, should not be changed for light
and transient causes and, accordingly, all
experience hath shown that mankind are
more disposed to suffer, while evils are
sufferable, than TO right themselves by
abolishing the forms to which they are ac-
customed. But, when a long train of
abuses and usurpations, pursuing invarla-
bly, the same object, evinces design to re-
duce them under absolute despotism, it is
their right, IL is their duty, to throw of

THE STAR sPANGLED-BANNER.
By FRANCIS S. KEY.

1 say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed ut the twilight's
last cleaning,
Whose broad stripes end bright stars through the
perilous Hght,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallant
ly streaming,
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in
air.
Gave proof through the night that our Hag was
still there,
o say does that star spangled banner vet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home Of the
bruvel
On the shore dimly seen through the mist of the
Where the foes naughty host in dead silence
rcposes;
What is that which the breeze o'er the towering
As it ftfully blows, half concealed, half dis
Now it catches the CLEAN of the mornings first
beam
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream
IT'S the star-spangled banner, o! long may it
o'er the land of the free and the home of the
brave.
And where is that band who SO vauntngy
swore,
That the havoc of war and the battles csnfu-
sion
A home and a country should leave us no more
Their blood has washed out their foul foot
steps, pollution,
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the CLEAN of the
grave;
And the star-spaugled banner in triumph doth
wave,
DER the land of the free and the home of the
brave.
o ! thus be it ever when frccmen shall stand
Between their loved home and the wars desc
lation.
Blessed with victory and peace, may the Heaven
rescued land,
Praise the power that has made and preserved
us a nation
Then conquer we must when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: In God is our trust =
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall
wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home Of the
brave.
