[communicated.] ' * QUAINT THOUGHTS UPON THE TIMES, SUGGESTED BY THE OPPOSITION TO THE BRIDGE. . Every ihonarch in Europe, perhaps, who ha* reigned for any time, has left some memorial, in atone and mortar of the peculiarities ofthe age in which he lived, and historians and antiquarians, like geologists will* the tooth of an extinct animal classifying his genus, may point to these, as en during records, of the ta$te'in architecture of the whole nation. More than, half a century lias passed over the heads of our people, and thous ands and thousand* of Hut sovereigns hove fallpn beneath the sod, and yet neither singly or combin ed, have they left any material structures by which either their own historios—their taste in architec ture—their refinement, or their knowledge, may be known hereafter. So that were this generation passed away, we would leave the surface of the earth little more rbib in the. monuments of our greatness, than the poor and unlettered ravages who preceded us. -To a practical) hard working, money getting people, this may seem, but a tri fling subject of regret, but we hope to inspire even the worshippers of Mammon with a nobler ambiUon on - this snbject—\ye hope to see even in. our times, this all absorbing love of gain, give way sufficiently, for us to consider the things that arc due from uses one of the mightiest* nations that has ever peopled the earth, or been known in history. It is a very sad reflection,to think that a mighty people shalfpajs away from tho face of the earth and be known no more forever. Timo is hurrying away more than ever the second gen eration-—and to them, it is almost the same os if all had perished with them. It is the end of time to them. Something is due from one generation of men to their successors, besides money—and all wise men know, that inheritors of wealth ore not the readiest builders, of monuments, even indi vidual* mementoes, much less of public ones.— The truth must be told, before there is a hope of amendment. W.e are neglecting a part, and a noble part, ofthe high behests pf our time and position. We are careless of those things that re- Hue a people, and adorn a country.. We trample oh tho ashes of the most august men that ever figured in the pages of history. We desecrate the very fields enriched by the blood of our own kindred—and where wits sealed a far prouder Vc ura tho most.reckless T know. Wo hurry to Tact through this wot!.I, Uiatwo leave every thinf behind—Julies and all—forgetful. that the luster we hurry, the sooner we loud hi tho noxt. - Talk of baitdhig enduring structures,to people Dying oa Rail Roads. Our epitaphs and ceno taphs*, end tomb-atones, tnayboall writtanand erected on locomotives. The truth, if told of us, would sound like bitter irony. If we keep moving onwards at ourpresent rates,witliont casting an eye to tho right or loft—John Gilpin's story will bo our own; aud each man might have it written on hia tombstone—Kero lies another Gilpin, who turn ed his lifo into, ono groat contest of spoed—tho earth into a Ulighiy rice-field—hia birth, tha start ing post—and his death, the out come, lit out ranovory thinga-diatancsdOld Time—compelled Death to bolt from tho course, and rode into oter- nity at full speed. if the sqber old people whoorst rode npon’ase- os, or took thqir pilgrim’s staves in their hands, in times Ibnggono byi are permitted to look Joivn upon our proceedings, how they must staro and wonder at the way wo streak it. It ia well this earth, with its globular form, has not regular steps in it,else tho Yankees would him it Into one great tread-mill, and whirl the old hall so fast .that Atlas would tumble from hia equilibrium, olid Ilia hcav- erif and earth ono more knocked into chaos. The subject is amusing enough in our lighter momeuta, and when wo aro well enough pleased to laugh »* ourselves, nevertheless, it is e very ihelnncho- ly theme. A mailmen may force from us-a smile in spite of ourselves, for a moment, but wo aro ready to weiep the next for tho vety ability to do ao, at so sad a wrack of frail mortality. So it ia with our national mania—we laugh in spits of our gravity at this eternal pbsting, which begins without an object, end euda without e result.— True!—happiness ia said to be the object, and ia it hoi hitherto eluded tho pursuit of our kind, wo aro determined to run down the old'thing at a (aro race. The Devil does not take the hindmost, tho nsual condemnation of tho pnliNo to all loos en in thosq contents, bnt ho will ho ikr more apt to take the foremost—winnera, then an none. Thus we |o, whirling and whining, and ne glecting many of the graver dntiei.whichbecome an enlightened and refinod people. In then wo do riot include high attainments in the arts, or in literaturo. Wo have not yet constructed those ruder and bolder laud-marks, which mark a na tion’s riso. We hive Wilt scarcely any fortifica tions worthy of the riamo; our whole coast U at the mercy of our enemies,—and aa for good roads and bridges, our rivers are so barren of the latter, that swimming will become a necessary accom plishment to out children. Monuments—we have none. The ashes of Washington lie mouldering in a little ((airy-like looking vault, on the banka of the Potomac. Jefferson's grave lies on a barren mountain sido, unmarked by a single atone or in. acription—Johu Hancock, Patrick Henry, Benja min Franklin, Charles Carroll, Jamba Madison, and John Adams, a|l lie in unha.nored graves—to siy nothing even of field officers Who foil in tho glorious battles of a nation'* freedom. To them, fois i> a matter pf very little importance—and so are* oil the decencies and paraphernalia of tho grave, but they are of immense consideration to ns. Wo not only refuse to mirk the spot whero they lie, but we have despoiled their very grbvaa. We have seized upon lhe spoils and trophies of an hundred hard fought kittle* *nd arc now con tending like madmen—for this very plunder, to create a great fund of bribery and pollution, to bo held up ns the reward of the victor in onr party struggles. Let another generation thus pass away—let the public domain be oil plundered—lot tiro revolu tionary graves remain tomblqaa; and all Europe , will cry shame, upon tho insann avarice which prompts such degrading filial ingratitude. All tills is usually answered by the trite along— "that Washington and hia compeers an enshrined in die hearts of their countrymen, and need no other monument." It would be far nearer the truth to say, that the money necessary to build them, is enshrined in the hearts of our country men. The Great Ruler ofthe tthiverse has more than opce commanded particular spots and events to be commemorated by such atructuroa—and to this day, the grandest ruins of the oriential world, yet stands! oneeaa a perpetual meinentoa of his dis pleasure, and an everlasting wibiesa to the truth of his messengers. Iduuicu—tiro ancient inherit ance ofEsau—their dwellings form a great amphi theatre of melancholy porticoes and coloimdes, inhabited only by bats .and owls. One of our owncouutiymeu has been au eye witness to the fact. Why then shall we, of all the nations of' tho earth, cnibrine .the patriarchs of our nation and the heroes of onr revolution, in our hoarts alone. The human heart it deccitfiil above all tilings, and in nothing more than in those miserable tub- terfngea to eludegreat national dntiea, and withtll a very unfit shrine for these venerable remains.— What sort of an answer would it bo, were a man asked: Why don't yon place a atone over your father’s grave f to say “because I have enshrined him iu my heart.” But even was tile assumption true—hearts are very perishable things—and at inostlaji, but for three score years' and ten—one man's heart therefore is a very peer shrine for tho mcuioryof another. A singlo architect in England has a greater monument erected over him, than all our sagos united. The constructor of St. Paul's had writ- ten upon hit tomb atone—something like tee fol lowing, “ If you ask for my monument, behold it!" In like manner, when wo are asked for our mementoes of our great dead—let each man clap his hand to his heart and say—behold them! tus house or sr.snnfxsTATivas. Nov. 37...
