THESOLDIBBSOFIUi; KKYOLliIOX OF II
More tban Uiree-tbartliiiofa century has
passed, since these, then, feeble colonies
rose to contend for Independence against
the most formidable power under the Hea
vens' To-day, few and far between, sink
ing. imperceptibly. Into the tomb, very old
tnen hallowed by these stirring rominisceu.
ecs, totter about, and behold how a sec
tional spirit lias visited the mightly Lund
of Washington; and how in' one purt the
people Are stuggiing tt> renew.the recogni
tion of principles for which they toiled and
bled. Anarchy, now, makes dim and faint
the glories of the past: may we in our
younger days yet realize the splendor tbut
once gladdened the hearts of those fath
ers!
The principle of civil liberty lias ever
bcon axiomatic with man, and a perpetual
animation. It is true, that, if society Com
menced with nomadic tribes of men in the
form of a patriarchal and benignant insti
tution. with those dwelling in cities, and in
hatereogenoous communities, it early, from
tho potent influence of one type of the ha-
man family, the Hammetic, assumed that
symbol which consecrated prerogative os
the authority and birth-right of one nmn,
and perpetuated tho liueuge where the
complicity of tho masses with the ruling
agency was completely ignored, in the
succession of the family. For ages men
thought, and contended under the massive
weight of tliis despotism, nothing, regard
ing the polity of tho State, save the tri
umph and rule of some particular Dynasty!
The enliro history of the ancient World,
with tho exception of the primitive Jewish
Theocracy, when God Himself was King,
is a tissue of alternate usurpations and
foreign invasions and conquests, in -which
right was lost in might. “
The first glimmering of Liberty in the
ancient Pagan Nations, was seen in Eu
rope—when Codrus, one of the monarchs
of a State of Greece, contrived to have his
life sacrified for the safety of his people,
according to an Oracle—when that people
declared, in admiration, and reverence of
Ids memory, that “none was worthy to
succeed Codrus,” and elected two Arehons
to govern for a set torm.H
Other States of Greece embraced free
dom, as the Peloponnesians; ami by the
,'Kcliiun League and the Anipbiclyoniccoun
cil endeavoured to prolong popular rights
Pul ns the confusion of tho Mythology per
mitted no organization of morals ami re!i
gion, sufficient to restrain the restlessness
and natural impetuosity of the human
heart, and interest and ambition, civil wars
devastated,, and tho Amphictyous found
a head in Philip,
Casting our view along tho stream of
time, we observe Liberty in Carthaginian
and Roman abodes, and in some petty prin
cipalities. Of Koine, the most remarkable
of ancient Republics, and which, in that
character, endured for five centuries, histo
ry exhibits two systems of Government
that did not clash until the times of the
Gracchi, of CaUdine, of dyila and Marius,
and of Ctcsar and Pompoy. Tho external
or military being despotic, and the intern
al or civil popular and pacific, under Tri
bunes of the people, who had a retroactive
veto on the laws of tho Senate, and of the
Consuls. The military, or despotic rela
tion was a necessity of .tiro Stale, where a
turbulent populace in Rome would abide
no distinction of society, and the Consuls
contrived to send them as armies to con
quer coterminous regions—thus afford
ing quiet and existence to the city. This
system of the military conqnerred the
known world, when finally for lack of new
employment, tho Roman arm tell upon
their city, and introduced despotism huffier
Augustus, five hundred years after the ex
pulsion of tho Tarquins.
After this subsidence of Liberty in Rome
and the ancient World, thefo was a long
interval of Monarchy. Tho Christian Er.i
hero dated : a Religion entirely devoted
to the freedom of man, not merely to the
extent of his equality, but of his brethren-
ship~-leaving no distinction but that ot the
prophecies, which ostracised from the pre
sence of their brethren, the Hammonian
race. Bat Christianity, in its purity, was
not comprehended, or was perverted by a
mighty Hierarchy, aucl tho long night ot
the middle ages exhibited one tvuin of ab
solute Bishops, spiritual Governors, and
absolute kings, temporal. Liborty roving
on wings like the tireless lluma, or dove
from the Ark, found no rest in modern
times, until the rise of tho Dutch Repub
lic, sent a scintillation that became a per
petual flame like the vestal, by example,
into Helvetic, and to tho west. Earlier
than this date, Luther had begun tho Re
formation of the Church, and as Liberty
and Religion are inseparable relations,
where permanency exists, tho disfranchise
ment of man, received an unquenchable
spirit. The Catholic Priesthood did not
seem to understand the meaning of St.
Paul as to “ submission to the powers that
be,” when Christ had enjoined neither ec
clesiastical nor political superiority, that
the submission was duo to tho, office, not to
tho magistrate that perverts hia power to
tyranny, as it was illustrated in a com
mentary by Chrysostom. Under their in
fluence,* therefore, the middle ages that suc
ceeded primiliyo Christianity were dark—
dark! Liberty next,revived in England,
and produced a Hamden, a man Macau ley
compares to Washington, alone.
Tho next demonstration of this spirit
was the American Revolution, a manifes
tation most tremendous in effect and ten
deney. The waves of freedom front our
country beat upon the shores of France,
set in motion the rtiost terrible of Revolu
tions at Paris, Lyons, etc.; led tho way to
the dominion of Bonaparte, who gathering
the fragment* of distracted France into a
colossus, for a time overran Europe with
victorious away.
From tiiat day to the present there has
been a long pause, excepting the successful
revolt of Spanish America, which seems to
havo been to the freedom, of anarchy,
rather than^Tpl'der.
From this brief and hasty glance at the
biography of Liberty, imperfectly sketched
from tho necessity of condensation in so
email aspace as a short newspaper article,
scenes ".ml vicissitudes transpiring for
thousands-of years, we observe that Lib
erty, the original birth-right of man, is
continually struggling for existence, is
kept i a abeyance by a variety of causes, is
little, undereloodr—and perverted even by
- its votaries. Like Religion, it is colored
prlMjM*£g*a&ad no wider in
over thin world than that of the one ; nei
ther hail the assertion of Liberty before so
gigantin an extension. Christianity and
.Liberty will go hand in hand, an inspepa-
rable link, to crown tho human raeo at the
“consummation of all things.” Christian
faith and obedience are duty to God.—
Liberty is but duty to man. Analyzed to
its quintessence the latter implies, only,
the morality of doing to every one as we
would have everybody to do to ns. What
else is liberty f It is the golden rate-of
JesusCbrist: Duty to God and duty to man
are the sum of onr obligations. How ne
cessary to maintain happiness, that we
gain the loving of Jeho vah, and let others
alone, ns they are to let ns alone ?—
Two mighty Angels govern, for good, our
World, with various fortunes—the Angel
of Religion and tbut of Liberty. When a
people can comprehend this better than
as a mythical, or as an abstract generality,
and impressed with the idea of their re
sponsibility to God and man, perform their
obligations with patience and persever
ance, then only will all see that rara avis—
Government by tho people, imprescripta-
ble and impregnable; less tottering than
our own, more lusting than tho Romans,
:»nd more pure than previous and existing
examples.
Thu last lingering'soldiers of tho Revo
lution, therefore, the companions-in-arms
of tho man whose fame, like the Pj'rnmid
in the Desert, stands alone in altitude and
in immortality, in a political light, must
he to us objects of appreciating reverence,
affection and filial homage. The last sun
of their galaxy is sinking into the ocean of
time. A few more annual revolutions and
the last living vestige of those days will
vanish forever! We revere them, not so
much because they were soldiers to repel
the force of tyrutiny, as because they havo
demonstrated, with adamantine solution,
a principle of imperishable truth, farught
with the welfare of unborn generations;
and which Thomas Jefferson has gracefully
uttered in tiiat masterly Stutc paper, (the
most morally philosophical of political
documents,) his first inaugural address, to
wit: that, the people can govern them
selves: if they could not, have we iound
Angels in the shape of other men to govern
them,” as Kings/ In other words, if a
man be incapable of self-government, how is
another capable of governing him t This
axiom of civ '* wisdom is carried out by
tlie negative proof of that ability in all the
Monarchies of the world, which show more
of contentions, wars, rapine, abandonment
of principle, corruption at home and op
pression of tho poor, than has ever char
acterized, during the same duration of
time, the history of any of the Republics
that haveever existed without the despotic
authority of the milita. J. J. F.

SAVE TilE FUAtiMEXTS.
BY P. L. HAMPTON.
Save the fragments—do not waste tbein.
IIow much could be gained, wore only eve
ry fragment saved! Think, kind reader,
profoundly upon this. You may indeed
imagine it a very trivial matter to spend
a few “ leisure hours” weekly as “ recrea
tion,” at some place of pastime, expending
a few surplus dimes, to add to your festi
val fruition; hut I kindly beseech yon to
halt. What will ail this likely add to your
material benefit? Remember, time once
lost, is lost forever. Life is short; and
would you over achieve anything, whether
in accumulating wealth, or storing your
mind with useful knowledge, that you may
ameliorate the condition of those who sur
round you, and build up and fortify the
reputation of j our country abroad, you
must be sure to save the fragments. When
iroperly considered, men have no leisure
tours. True, the relaxation from certain
business pursuits may, to the casual ob
server, present such, but when rightly con
sidered, in accordance with tho social,
moral and divine laws of onr nature, this
merely opens an aperture through which
other developments oan be made, from oth-
resonrees, such as reading some inter
esting book, that a chance hitherto has not
permitted, or acquiring new ideas in some
way. Yonng men, especially tho orna
ments of society, the bright, confiding hope
of their country, should always lot some
thing useful pervade their minds, together
with the cultivation of virtue, economy
and indefatigable perseverance, to fully de
velop their intellectual, moral and physical
condition. With a strict regard to this,
most any will gradually but surely rise to
the brightest acme of their susceptibility.
