The mighty conqueror who had wearied and
harrasied the goddesa of victory, fell from his
glorious throne without sympathy. Dying
France, whose bleeding wounds attested her
bravery—saw—I will not say with joy, no
•icn'lrmen, but with tlio feelings of the wen-
tber-beaten sailor who doserios the port alter
the tempest, the return of kings whose voices
were raised to proclaim liberty. Strange
nnnmuly I as if liberty could be born in a royal
cradle-
Hut these kings reigned, nnd shutting their
cars to the voice of experience, man’s best
counsellor, they enveloped Franco in one vast
net of fanatiejam and hypocrisy. Violators
of plighted faith, again they essayed to en
chain a free nation, but the sun of July, that

your independence, rose brilliant and radiant
on the immortal 11 threo days” as a visible
sign of the union and sympathy between the
two nations.
A veteran of freedom, whoso blood had
flowed on the hattle-fieldn of America, whose
courage had shone in your ranks, the friend of
Washington, the guest of America, the idol of
France, Lafayette, dreamed in a moment of
enthusiasm of a mnunreh’s throne surrounded
by republican institutions. Through him we

atop here gentlemen, a sentiment of propriety
forbids me to pursue this description. It only
remains that I pay my vows to mv beloved
country, to France, your faithful ally.
Happy citizens of a country whore wise in-
eiitntions have made you the equals of kings,
where the poor man can, by the power of his
vote, balance the efforts of intrigue and nullify
the secret machinations of political chicanery,
at tho same lime that he ran raise up or over
throw, even his chief magistrate; live to in
struct the people by your example, to prove
that a nation can exist without a crown or a
sceptre, and that Deity, in his paternal benifi-
cenre has created oil men equal.
Liberty, that mother of the human voce,
whose nimosphnro elevates the soul and enlar
ges the intellect, establishes betwixt us indis
soluble bonds of sympathy and friendship,
which time cannot break; and mnugre the
idle deeliimations of the apostles of regal pre
rogative, this moral elevation ia full of power
nnd infliienre. Intolerance and superstition
always guard against her light, and ignorance
implacablo enemy of all she cannot compre
bend, groans at the idea of freemen, whose
constant aim ia to destroy her altars, by pro-
pagnting principles sacred to reason and hu-
manttv. Tea I we can now say with truth
that the human intellect ha* made gigantic
atride* towards its ultimate summit. The
philosophy of the olden time, with its long
term* and sophistical arguments, has given
place to a scienro which secures to man the
emancipation of mind, which teaches him to
acknowledge none other than God, the immor
tal dtapenaer of justice and mercy,a* the con
troller of hi* thought* and actions. Liberty
ha's now become the companion of rtinsr n;
flow it i* that she place# men on the same le
vel and CNinhliaheano difference hut that which
merit uiul virtuo originate. I define liberty,
gpiiiinnicu, to be an obedience to wise and
wholesome laws, discussed without passion genius and patriotism to the cause of the com
for I ho Common wants of the people. I do- mon weal; you should follow the example of
fino liberty to be a tranquil controversy and a your predecessor* who hate honored this in-
tessonnhlo criticism in regard to the nets of stitulion, in order that it tnuy herealW be said
government. I give the name of liberty to of you with pfido nnd enthusiasm, “ he wu« of
the University of Georgia.” You should stu
that which give* office to merit, to indepen
dence, to patriotism; and not to ignoranco, in
trigue or favorite* of the powers that bo. Hut
at an impartial stranger, permit me to say,
that I cannot give the name of liberty to on tin-
tqual partition of tarn and benefits, entirety in
duprofHtrlion to want and locality. No! but
liberty is the frank manifestation of those doc-
Irinas so preservative of social order which
are baaed on ibo love and reveren :o which
overt good citizen owes to God, the sovereign
Author of all thing* ; on that principle of fra
ternal love which attaches ua to our fellow
men ; and on ihat protection which is the right
of the feeble and helpless, of whatsoever kind
or character.
May thosn distinctions, gsntlemen, which
gre so often humiliating to religion and na
tional character, be pul far from us hereafter;
that, a tier* ver we shall find men boneal, vir
tuous and free, they may become member* of
the great human family.. The time has arri
ved when the sovereign people will no longei
famish their generous blood, in those san
guinary feuds of despots, where the conqueror
tails exhausted on the conquered. The time
in fine, has arrived when man will no longer
Submit to any other power that) that which is
sanctioned by reason, wisdom, and justice.
But turn your eyes towards the unhappy
country where daapntiam, that m dent Poly-
phamus, sits on a bloody throne, counting and
re-counting those human flocks whose sub
stance he devours. Torn your eyes towards
undo, the brazen skies of Siberia, and into
the bowels of the earth, that anticipated Pand£
momum of Dante; to expiate Urn crime, unpar-
malee, old men bending under the weight of
years, and patriots full of life and vigour, all
oxpire under tho bayonets of royalty, let us
drop the tear of sympathy for their misfortunes
and pay a just tribute of admiration to their
courage nnd pairiolism.
From these icy and barbarous regions which
make the soul recoil, tu n your eyes to the
flowery banks of the Tagus, to the Innd of
Fumnena nnd the Albuquerquot; there you
will see o monster who repeats with impunity
tho crimes of that Roman Emperor, whose
name alone stains tyranny itself with a deeper,
darker hue. You will shrink with horror from
the spectacle of the innocent citiznn condemn
ed to death, and of the child executed under
the eye- of its parJfita ; while the monster, as
though he wished to quench with human gore,
the cruel thirst that devour* him, wades with
stoic indifforence through a river of Portu
guese blood. There all is despair, terror and
fanaticism ; there every thing is a disgusting
parody on ur sublime religion. It is thnro
that the Priests—did I say the Priests ? No,
gentlemen, tho assassins, clothed in the sa
cred garb of Heaven, draw up the fatal death
lists ; it ia there that fanaticism, Invested with
triple power, and standing betwixt the throne
and the altar, points with the finger to tho vic
tims of the tyrant. Shall I fix your attention
on the kingdom founded by Pelugus, which of
old extended its conquests over both hemis
pheres? Where the light of liberty once
flashed for a moment, but where nil is now de
generated into the darknoss and barbarism of
the fifteenth century? It ie there likewise
that fanaticism has redoubled her vigilant
guards, it ia thcro that by a systom of mute
espionage, a word, a look, a gesture, a thought,
ia interpreted into treason ; sentence is passed
and a judgement written in lood, in the name
of that Saviour who was so prodigal of his
own, for our salvation.
Tell me gentlemen, in what stnte of pros
perity or grandour do wo find those kingdoms ?

Ah, wo can truly say, that it is nly in a free
stale with republican institutions, it is only
whero equal order and liberty, those enemies
of licence dwell, that knowledge can elevate the
intellect, nssiinilutu man to his Creator, and
inspire him with those religious principles,
which, as a beacon light, warn him to avoid
the quicksand* of lifo.
It belongs to you, children of liberty, to

Extracts from the Alhambra by Washington Irving.
REVERIES ON THE SUMMIT OF THE TOWER
OF COMARES.
'* The airy palace with its tall white towers
and long arcades, which breast yon mountain,
among pompous grove* and hanging gardens,
ia the Generaliffe, a summer palace of the
Moorish Kings, to which they resorted during:
the sultry months, to enjoy a still more breezy
region than that of the Alhambra. The naked
summit of the height above it, where you be
hold some shapeless ruins, ia the Silla del Mn
ro, or seat of the Moor ; so called from having
been a retreat of the unfortunate Boabdil, du
ring tho time of an insurrection, where he sea
ted himself and looked down mournfully upon
his rebellious city.
“ A murmuring sound of w ater now and then
rises from the valley. It is from the aqueduct
of yon Moorish mill, nearly at the foot of the
hill. Tho avenue of tree- beyond, is the Al-
meda, along the bank of the Darro, a favorite
resort in evenings, and a rendezvous of lovers
in tho summer nights, when the guitar may be
heard at a late bour from the benches along
its walks. At present there me but a few loi-
terring monks to be seen there, and a group of
waier-carriers from the fountain of Avellauoa.
You start! ’tis nothing but a hawk we have
frightened from his nest. This old tower is a
magical power, and, like the evening sun
.learning on these mouldering towers, sends
<, ick her retrospective rays to light up the glo
ties of the past.”
' SUNRISE IN SPAIN.
11 Scarce had the gray dawn streaked the
sky, and the earliest cock crowed from the
•■ullages of the hill-side, when the suburbs
gave sign of reviving animation ; for the fresh
hours of dawning are precious in the summer
season in a sultry climate. All are anxious
to get the start of the sun in the business of
the day. The muleteer drives forth his load
ed train for I he journey; the traveler slings his
carbine behind his saddle, and mounts his
steed at the gates of the hotel. The brown
peasant urges his loitering donkeys, laden with
panniers of sunny fruit and fresh dewy vegeta
bles ; for already the thrifty housewives are
hastening to the market.
“ The sun is up and sparkles along the val
ley, lopping the transparent foliage of the
groves. The matin bell resounds melodious
ly through tho pure bright air, announcing the
hour of devotion. The muleteer halts his
burdened animals before the chapel,thrusts his
staff through his bell behind, and enters with
hat in hand, smoothing his coal black hair, to
hear a mass and put up a prayer fora prosper
ous wayfaring across the Sierra.”

The swallow and martlet abound io every
chink and cranny, and circle about it the whole
day long ; while at night, when all other birds
havo gone to rest, tho moping owl comos out
of its lurking place, and utters its boding cry
from the battlements. See how the hawk we
have dislodged sweeps away below us, skim
ming over the tops of the trees, and sailing up
to ruins above the Generaliffe.
Let us leave this side of the tower and turn
our eyes to the west. Here you behold in the
distance, a range of mountains bounding the
Vega, the ancient barrier between Moslem
Granada and the land of the Christians.—
Among the heights yon may still discern war
rior towns, whose gray walls and battlements
seem of a piece with the rocks on which they
are built; while horn and there is a solitary st
ain v a or watch-tower, mounted on some lofty
point, and looking down an if it wore ftnm the
sky, into the valleys on on her side. It was
down the defiles of these mountains, by the
pass «I Lope, that tho Christian armies dneen
ded into the Vega. It was round the bnse of
yon gray and naked mountain, almost insulated
from the rest, and stretching its bald rooky
promontory into the bosom of the plain, that
the invading squndronu would come bursting
into view, with flaun'ing banners and the clan
gor <>f drums and trumpets. How changod is
the Beene I Instead of tho glittering line of
mailed warriors, we behold the patient Irnm
ol tho toilful muleteer, slowly moving along
the skirts of the mountain.
“ Behind that promontory is the eventful
bridge ol Pinos, renowned for many a bloody
airile between Moora and Christians ; but still
more renowned as being the place where Co
lumbus Was overtaken and called back by the
messenger of queen Isabella, just as Ha was
departing in despair to carry his project of dis
covery to the court ol France.

of mountains that gives lo Granada that com

“ These mountains may well ha called the
glory of Granada. They dominate the whole

as he view* their frosty peak* from the sultry
level of the plain; and the Spanish mariner on
