Canning, tlie sou of au ignoble commoner,

the divine energies of the mind, guided by tho :

Rejoice therefore, ve oppressed sons of E- ;

The regenerating influence of this holy ardor j

[Here a pause of u few minutes took place.]
On the sixth day when God’s great work was done,
When all the planets moved around the sun,
And raised, sublime amid their shining frame,
Svmphonious anthems to their Maker's name—
When Idessful Eden spread her shady bowers,
Her peaceful walks—rich fruits, and fadeless flowers,
And, man the tenant of this earthly hail,
Was made, the destined monarch of them all—
The Almighty Maker said, the work is good;
But mnn, my creature, dwells in solitude.
I’ll make a being, said the Almighty word,
To bless the dwelling of Creation’s Lord,,
In the bright spheres of brighter realms above,
Pure angels live—the objects of my love—
Pll snake nn angel too for man below,
To shore his joys, and soothe his brow of woe.
He spake the word—and forth from Adam’s side,
Sprang the angelic form of Eden's Bride.
Eden was fair before—but every flower
Caught a new tint from beauty’s dazzling power.
The ripening fruit in richer clusters hung—
The gladdened birds In sweeter numbers sung—
The orb of night a milder lustre threw—
And the sweet breeze in softer odors blew.
But most of all, one Father felt the power
Of the bright form that gladdened F.den’s bower.
A holier rapture dwelt upon his tongue,
As Eve's sweet voice was mingled in the tong.
He praised his Maker—felt love’s tender dart—
Ana clasped oar blooming Mother to bis heart.
When freedom’s sword, io freedom’s fearless hand,
'Had driven the foeman from Columbia’s strand—
And freedom’s banner, with its stars unfurled,
Proclaimed the triumph of the western world.
When o’er her hills, the towering eagle soar’d,
To tell her sons, that Britain’s vanquish’d horde
Had spread their sails, to bid a last adieu
To shores, where late her cursed minions threw
Their slavish chains around our straggling band.
And urged her odious Tariff on the land—
When victory perched on every waving plume,
And fair Columbia smiled in Eden’s bloom—
Think yc, fair listers, all this dazzling scene—
Hcrtoworing mountains—and her vales of green—
Her rolling itvers—and the ceaseless flight
Of bold Niagara,with resistless might— ,
Like freedom’s spirit—flashing, thundering down,
Eternal vengeance on a tyrant’* crown—
Her proud battalia, wheeling to and fra
iler warlike drum, the terror of tho foe—
Her starry pennon, dancing free in air—
Her sword victorious, flashing in the rear,
Of craven foemen, whose rctiringhost
Left smling peace our const—
Think ye, all these could yield a pure delight,
Without the beaming eye of beauty bright!
Our Father* felt the power of beauty’s charm,
And bolder vigor nerved the warrior’s arm.
Our Blothers’virtues urged the noblest deeds—
Our Mothers' Joy—our Mothers’ smiles the meed.
In the fair temple of Columbia's fame,
The loftiest niche is carved for woman’s name.
Ilerpatriot hand the naked soldier clad—
Her winning smiles cheered the warrior lad—
Her tender finger wove the banner bright,
That bore Columbia’s eagle throuh,tho fight
And whilst with pleasing care and rapturous joy,
She viewed the cradled beauties of her boy,
And sat beside him as she trimm'd the plume,
That waved for victory or for glory’s tomb,
Taught him his fathers virtues to revere,
Ahd sang the song of freedom in his ear.
Man claims not'(hen, in all Its proud array,
Tb' exclusive honors of this joyful day.
In tho bright halo of Columbia’s fame,
The brightest lustre circles benuty's name:
8he is the bright beam ia creation's soul,
And her pure spirit animatcslhe whole.
Come. then, onr sisters and our mothers dear,
Help ns a splendid monument tn rear,
That shall, for endless centuries to come,
gland the proud pyramid of freedom’s home.
Come with that ange! form and rosy smile;
J. ‘Wr a ve Freedom’s, garland round tne lofty nflgww
■'^t’rite virtue's lesson on its ample base,
* teach your sons to love the holy place.
"Pis yours, the first great lesson to inspire
Of virtue’s love and freedom's holy fire.
Teach them the deeds a IVashinglon has done—
Tell them the glory Amirno .lari:son won—
And when their little souls shall catch the beam
Of glory, flowing from its vestal stream,
With pencils dipt in soft etlierial tints,
Stretch round its towering height, in sunbeam prints,
Erie's tall woods, dark rocks, and rolting flood—
Columbia’s fleet, in gay mid gallant mood—
With dauntless 1‘erry on the foremost deck,
Like freedom’s genius, fearless mid the wreck—
With muttering thunders, pouring, stroke on stroke,
Columbia's vengeance on the Britton’s oak.—
Close by, in bright relief, let proud Champlain
Echo the thunders from the neighboring plain,
Where bmve MeComb, the spirit of the storm,
Reflects the glories of MePpnovgVs form—
Colurnlmi’H biinnrr strenminp o’er the land—
Ilrittanniu’s host retreating from the strand—
Columbia's Eagle hovering o’er the fleet,
And Britain's vanquish’d lion cowering at Ids feet!—
And then, withdrawing from the sacred ploce,
With muffled drains, and stow retiring pace,
Let victory's sons, firm, mournful,—but serene,—
With arms reversed, and silent rites, be seen,
On glory’s field, beside the swelling wave,
Planting the willow o'er the freeman’s grave.
Thus shall your sons with holy ardor burn.
Their fathers’ deeds, their fathers’ fame to learn—
And catching from your souls the inspiring flame,
Shall long to imitate their fathers’ fame.
Ami whilst your gentle lips the theme prolong,
Their first great lesson, shall be freedm's song;
Inspiring theme!—Oh fun the holy flame;
Till it shall glow through all their youthful frame
With revrential awe mid silent tread,
Lead them, where freedom bends o'er glory shed.
Lead them, where proud Potomac’s conscious wave
Flows, in still grandeur, by that Holt/ genre,
Where wisdom, virtue, greatness, evermore,
Rest on that hallowed hill and sacred shore.
Fame, like that noble river rolling on,
By Vernon’s Blount—tlietombnf WASHINGTON,—
Walts freedom's glory to the farthest goal,
And spreads her glowing fires from pole to pole.
Inspiring thought!—Unnumbered years to come
Shall light the torch ot'treedom at his tomb.
Tlie tented Arab, and the F.tliiop’s child
Shall chaant Ins praise in numbers rude and wild.
Beneatli their citron groves, and green bamboo,
The wandering Tartar, and the blind Hindoo,
Shall talk, familiar, of the Hero's I'aine,
And tench their offspring to revere his name.
A!i happy mothers, in whose fond embrace,
Such sons of freedom find a resting place!
Thousands of bayonets gleam at your command,
To guard vour bosoms—und protect the land.
What were this happy day—this proud parade,
Without your cheering smile—-your lovely aid!
Vours was the deepest pang of bitterest woe—
You felt tlie keenest vengeance of tlie foe—
The helpless widow, and her orpan fair
Shrieked in the agonies of wild despair,
When the appalling thunders on the coast,
Told them the dearest form? on earth were lost.
You shared the dangers of that vengeful fray,
And you shall reap the glories of the day.
Oh happy mothers! in whose fond embrace,
Such ions of freedom find a resting place.
Can such fair fruit grow from corrupted blooms? .
Such noble heroes spring from coward wombs!
No.—By the fame of ail the mighty dead!
By all the holy blood our fathers shed—
You too shall hear the garland of applause,
And wear tho brightest honor of the cause.
Beauty shall sway, with soft qtid sweet control,
Tho inmost passion of freeman’s soul.
Her lofty spirit never was designed
To wear the clogs and fettert of the mind.
The same divine infusion from on high
Iuspircd her soul, and fired her lovely eye,
That gave to haughty »*“ l,l< / I™
iu u*v, .i.«. <\«,t>i<n!, and to breast the storm.
And the same loftv energies on high,
Shall swell the noblest anthem in the sky!
Come then, with bosoms free from fear or guile,
Come, with that angel form and rosy smile,
Enjoy the triumphs of this glorious day,
And teach your sons to walk in freedom's way.
Come, strew fresh flowers around the hero’s bed,
And ting tho glories of the mighty dend.
Come,weave bright chaplets lor ihe living brave,
And smooth their evening pathway to the grave.
First in the lofty honors of the day,
Crown Jay nnd'Carroll with tho deathless bay—
And close beside them, in th' immortal ranks,
with living garlands from Ocmulgee’s banks,
Let good old Slaeon’s silvery locks be seen,
Gracing the glorious wreaths of fadeless green.—
With harpand timbrel lend the joyful dance, 1
Where bayonets flash and streaming banners glance,
Along the orange groves and proud levee,
Where that bold River, nishiugtothe Sea,
Catches the glorious light from Orleans' plain,
And bears its brilliant flashes to the main.
Touch—wnkc the deepest string—oh let its sound
Reverberate to earth’s remotest bound; .
And when its strains have reached thro’ ail the earth;
When your proud souls have quaffed the deepest mirth;
Let martial wreaths and civic garlands spread
Their mingled honors round tho warriors head,
Rear on the sacred spot, in freedom’s name,
A deathless monument to JACKSON’S fame.

THE SEASON.
A few weeks since, and the prospects of the
agriculturalist were highly flattering. Good
crops of wheat had been harvested, and oats,
rye, barley, &c. (the cultivation of which is
too much neglected,) were unusually promis
ing. Apples, peaches, and various wild fruits
were abundant. Indian corn too looked well,
and roasting ears were found in forward gar
dens as early as usual. In a word, the pros
pect was fine, and the breast of every one was
filled with hope—the present scarcity of mo
ney and hardness of tho times were measurably
forgotten, in ilie joyous anticipations of luturo
relief. Hope held out the prospect of an a-
buudant harvest; and overflowing granaries,
crowded smokehouses, and cottonlofts groaning
with the weight of an exuberant and beautiful
staple, with an advance on tho price of 25 or
50 per cent, rose up in tho imagination of tho
happy planter. Bat alas ! how shortlived is
human happiness 1 Tlie scene is now changed.
From almost every part of tho state, we hear
the most melancholy accounts of the extensive
and long continued Brought, and tho utter
prostration of the hopes of tho farmer—the
structure on which the prosperity of tho whole
community is based.
With few exceptions, the Drought is very
general. Small showers may have occasional
ly been felt, in many places, but their extent
has been limited, and their beneficence ex
tremely small.’ In some districts no rain has
fallen for many weeks; the earth has become
fairly baked, and vegetation entirely suspend
ed. Whole cOrufields are entirely destroyed:
the cornblades, contorted and scorched, fall to
the ground; and the shrivelled stalks smoke
with heat. In sain the amorous stamen ex
tends its prolific anther towards the willing stig
ma—the pollA having lost its fructifying prin
ciple, falls inert on the withered pistil, and the
germ is dcstro,’ed ere yet its existence hascont-
mcnccd. ~ 1
The cottonplant from its slower growth and
deeper roots, suffers later than corn; but it al
so begins to feel ihe effects of the drought. Tho
leaves burn up, ind the flowers wither and fall,
leaving no boll in their place.
Tho animal as well as vegetable kingdom
punts with the excessivo heat and drought. In
habitants of ponds and streams are boiled in
their own element, or perish by its evapora
tion. Cattlo crop tho juiceless herbage, and
look to man in vain for succor: their emaciated
carcases and sunken eyeballs, us they watch
tho reluctant clouds, speak tho keenness of
their suffering. Largo streams have shrunk to
narrow rills, and fountains aro drying up. In
stead of dew, impalpable dust, lifted into tho air
by its dryness and buoyancy, falls on the thirs'
ty herbage. Indeed tho atmosphere in many
parts, travellers assure us, is so filled with dust,
that respiration is extremely difficult.
How soon this stato of things will ond, and
kindly showers and refreshing dews be substi
tuted, He “ who holds the winds in his fist, and
tho soas in the hollow of his hand,” only can
tell.

INTELLIGENCE.
Canadian for Murder .—Five Indians, wo ate in.
formed, were tried and convicted at the last Superior
court of Thomas esunty, for the murder of Alien Carr’s
family, noticed by us in December last.—One of them
however, died, end another made his escape previous
to the time appointed fortheir execution. Tne other
three were hung on the 28th nit. They bore their fate
with uncommon fortitude. When one of them (the
last one executed) was launched off, the rope by which
he was impended broke. He rose up and inquired
wh-tber they, (the officers of justice) were done with
him. Upon receiving an answer in the negative, he
saidsvith great nonchalance “Try it again then.”—
JUillcdgetille Recorder.
lumas Affairs.—We have been politely favored
with the perusal of a letter to Col. Lorxa of this piece,
dated Fort Snelling, Blay 31, 1827; from which we
make the following extract:
“We have a little news to give to our friends, partic
ularly our military friendi. Some time since, a party
of about thirty Chippcway Indians arrived here with
their families, in order ta nave a talk with theirfather,
Major Taliaferro.—'They encamped immediately un
der the Fart, as it appeared, for protection from the
Siouxs, but on the night of the 27tl« Inst, a party of Si
ouxs came to their iodges, fired on them, wounded
eight, three mortally. On the 28th, thirty or forty of
the Siouss were given up to the Chippeways. and they
selected two of them, took them a few hundred yards
from the Fort, shut them down, drank their blood, and
retured to the Fort all in good nature.
Since writing this, two more of the 8tauxs were gi-
ven up by their own men, who Insisted on the Chippe
ways serving them in the same way; accordingly they
marched out with their new victims to the spot where
they had shot the others, and there shot them in the
same manner, washed themselves in the blood, and
tooka drinkoftbe same as before, and walked off quiet
ly, as though nothing had happened.”
Littl* Rock, Arkansas, Mav 29.
His Excellency Gov. Iiaan, arrived here yesterday,
in the steam-boat Catawba, from Philadelphia, via

Softening the Law t Boforo tho Inferior
Court of Jasper county, n Negro was recently
tried for an attempt to commit a Rape—and
being found guilty, was sentenced by the learn'
cd and humane court (instead of Death, as tho
law demands,) to the mildor punishment of c-
musculation and expatriation! the first part of
which has been fully carried into effect. Now,
though tho penalty inflicted on poor Sambo
may bo amply sufficient to provent a repetition
of tho crime, yet as tho laws are sacred, their
transgression is as culpablo in a court as in a
negro—and if a judge “ through fear, favor or
affection,” passes a sentence contrary to law,
what distinction should bo made botweon him
and tho man who does any other deed contrary
to law ? If our recollection serves us, no .pen
alty like that inflicted as above stated, is autho
rised by our statutes.
