the King, welding the most awful engines
Of terror Or at the Red Sea, dividing
the waters; or see him amid thunders
Of Sinia, to converse with the Almighty,
Or trace him through forty years Of toll
and trial, removed BY homage, unawed
by faction, undaunted BY danger, unal-
tered by distress; or contemplate him,

tation and the variety Of animals, We

It is related of the celebrated sculptor
Phideas, that in making the renowned
statute of Minerva, he skilfully traced his
name upon the shield. Of the goddess in
such manner that it could not be oblit-
Grated without destroying the shield
itself; so our institutions have become
interviewer with the other components Of
our national fabric as TO make their
destruction the precursor Of our national
ruin The former views Liberty as some
wild, enchanting mountain .nymph, rov-

We often hear Chinamen called hogs, and
we see some resemblance in this that
they both have a great deal of human
natufe<about them. You could coax
them to California quicker than youcould
drive them out of Cross Street. In pre-
venting Chinese immigration let us be as
unfinching and courageous as the Spartan
band at Thermopyle, the Light Brigade
at Balaklava, Or the heroes who fell with
the gallant Custer on the banks Of the
