>’ROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER-
'•yWAS FreedoinV Jubil 'rt
And in n Temple oftlic livlag God,
Arai.ln prntcful, joyous thronfr I stood,
Thev had come up. as they were won* to do
Upon that glorious day, to bend the knoe
R-forc the onlv throne where freemen bow.
A various crowd they were—for old and young
Had met together in the sacred fane, .
And youth and m nho d. infancy and age,
\]l all wfrft then*. I was a gladsotno- scene,
And I would itftver wlliujrly forget
Thosn better feelings of n wavward heart,
That stole upon me, as my wand’rin? evo
Now fell on trembling ago, and now on forms erect
Of nrrrous manhood, and delighted yenth.
And there was woman, in h^r virtuous pride.
Adorning by her gentleness and grace.
The high distinction, the ennobling rank
Assigned to her bv our most holv faith,
And made her birth-right by F* cedom's voice-
Around the matron, haply might be seen,
A little. briMit-hairM group, whose laughing evc.«?
More clearly proved tii n their own tongues could toll
That they, too. shnr'd the universal joy,
iVhi -li swell'd the Pntrintls bosom, wh-n the peal
Of the dcoo-ton'd bells, and hoarse cannon’s roaP
Broke on the stillness of that Summc-’s morn,
And mingled with the pan-ins of the free.
It is a frequent, but no irksome task.
On each return of Freedom's natalday,
To speak to listening crowds, or those bright dacds
Of noble daring bv our fathers wrought.
When vile oppression forg’d a galling chain,
And thi red hands of War strove hard to hind.
The badge of Slavery on thnir free-born limbs.
There stood before me oil" whose lot it was
Qf these bri bt deeds to tell; and not in vain
He strove to fix attention, and to wnko
Those d ep emotion's which bccam" the day.
The proud contumely of our mother land,
That met the mild petitions of our sires—
The bitter taunts and aggrivatine threats
Drawn by their protests from a haughty court—
The high resolve and saern i pl"dge which gave
Union and vigor to the patriot hand—
That hour of direst peril, when cachewave ’
That rolled upon our shores, seemed sent to bear
Some hostile token of proud England's might
When on our coast in triumph rode a fleet
Whose thnnders long h nl k pt a world in aw*—
And on onr plains u marshalled host was soeu
Sporting the bloody laurels they had won
In mightier strife, and with Philistine scorn
Mocking a feebler, but undaunted band—
The onset and the shock—the varying fortunes
Of the adverse arms—the final triumph
Of the righteous cause—our unchecked march
To strength and greatness—and the honor'd names
Of those who in the council or the fiold
Wrought out deliverance for a bleeding land—
And formed the charter of our equal laws.
All, all these proud associations came
Rushing in quick succession on the mind,
Methought it far more glorions to be
Even the humble freeman of aland,
In whose brief history conld be fonnJ so much
Of virtuous action and enduring fam",
Than wear a coronet, wheal must cringe,
A titled slave, to rrgi-i —aatoi-w!
Po thought I then—and would to Heaven the tongas
That roused thep d lot fervor in my breast,
The genuine love of my dear native soil,
Had then been silertt : or a', least had spar'd
Those bitter words which check'd at oncithe glow
Of generous feelings —rudely kindling up
“ Strange fire’’ uma an altar, consecrated
To brother!v affection, uuiou, peace! ‘
Bat fifty years a nation, can it be
Tliatthosc high places which have been adorn'd
Bv men whoso praises are in alt the land,
Have now become,like barter'd sinecures,
The prey of fanl corruption ? Can it be
That they who long have worn the civic wreath
And in the councils of the nation shone
The brightest of the bright—O, can it ba,
That they have cast away their high estate.
And full assurance of their country's love,
For Scorn's loud hiss, and Infamy’s reward.?
Nay, deeper shame than this : ere death bad struck
The, remnant of that venerated band
Whose solemn pledge of fortune, honor, life,
Thy stand. Independence, raised on high—
Ere they had ceas'd to call God’s blessings down
Upon the fa rest heritage of earth.
Corruption foul had driven Virtue forth
From Legislation’s Hall and base Intrigue,
Bn-gain and Sale, and " felon "acts usurp'd
The fair expression of the people’s will!
Well! say that it is so—but say it not
When every fihre of the Heart is turn'd
To patriot f'cl'ng—and remeinbrauco brings
So much of their integrity to mind. ' . .
O, say it not, when freemen ar" most proud
Of their bright fortunes and ancestral fame
For one short day «ud in God's temple, spam'
The hateful truth—if truth indeed it be,
And not the vilest slander ever trcid'd
From Faction's canker'd prostituted lips.
And do the Warrior's laurels greener growy
When the pure wreathe of civic fame are torts
From Worth and Genius! A singie day can make
A brilliant Conqueror! Statesmen spring not up
At every turning of the battle's tide.
I would not be the man to midgle thus,
On such aday, and in a holy place,
Sly country's glory and that country's shame,
Though I could pour the deep invective forth •
In strains far more sublimethan ever rous'd
The Greek or Roman in his proudest day. : HENRY.
——
The Panama Mission is likely to prove
, a useless and visionary project. Mr.
| Rochester, the Secretary of Legation,
■ has writ-on that nothing important will be
effected. The recognization of the inde
pendence of Mexico and of the Govern
ments in South America, and jhe appoint
ment of Envoys and Agents to represent
the United States at those respective Go
vernments, were proper measures. But
the plan of a Congress to unite our desti
nies with theirs, or to form aliances of any
sort, was as doubtful as to its results, as it
was surprising to many of the sober States
men of our country. Like some other
project it was evidently designed for effect:
\ But the event will probably reflect as lit-
! tie glory upon its projectors, as utility
i to ouf nation, or support to the cause of
j republican freedom.
[Boston Comm. Gazette.
I W'e were not a little surprised to read
the above article in the columns nf our
respected friend, tiie editor of the Boston
Gazette.
That the Panama Mission may not re
sult in any thing of consequence, is possi
ble; and, to tell the truth, we feel very lit
tle anxiety that it sliouid produce any
conventional arragements, other than such
as mav he made of a commercial nature.
Put supposing it to have no imnortant re
sult, stjll will it not have been either
“ unless” or “ visionary.” It wiil have
Jjpph far fmm useless, if it prove to the
South American Republics that we con
sider them as friends ami equals, with
whom wo are willing to keep up what
might in private life he called an Acquain
tance, instead of slapping the door in their
fare when they civily ask us to visit them.
!t is undoubtedly a practical measure, dif
fering in nothing from the policy of pre
ceding administrations, except in its put
ting ’-nto practice that reciprocity of feel
ing towards the Southern Governments
which we have always heretofore profes
sed.
Where has the worthy editor ever
seen, in the legislation of this country, or
in the execution of its laws, “the plan of
a Congress to unite our “destinies with
theirs, or to form alliances nf any “sort?
There is nothing nf the kind to he found
in our laws, resolutions, Executive Com
munications, or Reports of Committees.
There is one broad Prror .at the bottom of
the whole paragraph, and of similar com
mentaries which we have seen in other
intelligent and respectable papers. It
consists apparently in confounding the
internal and, peculiar objects of the other
Governments with that of the Govern
ment of the United States, which has
not onlv not engaged in any scheme
of “uniting our destinies with theirs,” hut
has snnriallv protested against it. The
project certainly had some reference to
“affect ” so far as we looked on it with a
favourable eye; we' hoped that the effect
would he to conciliate the good will of the
Southern Governments. We believed
it would do it, and we believe so still.—
Nor will our opinion bo changed, though
the unsettled state of things in the
Republic of Colombia, with whom the
plan originated, should for the present
hate the effect to defeat or defer the as
sembly of the Congress.
Our object, however,-in taking up the
pen, was not to dilate on this subject, but
to direct the attention of the very respec
table editor of the Commercial Gazette
to the following extracts from the Presi
dent’s Message to the--House of Repre
sentatives, in asking its sanction of the
Penanma Mission, which will show him
how entirely he has been misled by con
temporary commentary, as to the actual
nature and ob|ects of that mission, and
especially as to its alleged compromitment
of the destinies ofthe United States.
“ With regard to the objects in which
the Agents of the United Sfates are ex
pected to take part in the • deliberations ot
congress, I deem it proper to premise,
that these objects did not form the only,
nor even the principal, motive for my ac
ceptance of the invitation. My first and
greatest inducement was, to meet in that
spirit of kindness and friendship, an over
ture made in that spirit bp three Sister
Republics of this hemisphere.'"
“Were it merely that we might he cor-
•e'ctly and speedily informed of the pro
ceedings of the Congress, and of the pro
gress and issue of their negotiations, I
should hold it advisable that we should
lave an accredited agency with them,,
ilaccd in such confidential relations with
lie other members, as would ensure the
uuhenticity, and the safe and early trans-
nission of its reports.” -
“ If it be irue that the noblest treaty of
jeaceever mentioned in history is that by
vhich the Carthagenians were bound to
tbolish the practice of sacrificing their
iwn children, because it was stipulated in
favor of human nature, I cannot exagger-
ite to myself the unfading glory with
vhich these United States will go forth in
lie memory of future ages, if, by then
riendly counsel, .by their moral influence,
>y the power of argument and persuasion
done, they can prevail upon the Ameri-
:an Nations at Panama, to stipulate, by
general agreement among themselves, and
io far as any «f them may be concerned,
he perpetual abolition of private war up-
m the ocean. And, if we cannot yet Hat
er ourselves that this may be accomplish-
?d, an advance towards it, the establish-
nent of the principle that thefriendly flag
shall cover the cargo, the curtailment of
contraband of war and the proscription of
fictitious paper blockades, engagements
vhich we may reasonably hope will not
>rove impracticable; will, if successfully
nclucated, redound proportionally to our
lonor, and drain the fountain of many a
uturo sanguinary war.”
“A concert of measures, having refer
ence to the more effectual abolition ofthe
African Slave Trade, and the consider
ation of the light in which the political
condition of the Island of Hayti is to be
regarded, are. also among the subjects
mentioned by the Minister from the Re
public of Colombia, as believed to be
suitable for deliberation at the Congress.”
, After urging some other topics, the
President in his message, says—
“ I can scarcely deem-it otherwise than
superfluous, lo observe, that the assembly
wifi be in its nature diplomatic and not
legislative. That nothing can be transac
ted there, obligatory upon any one of the
States lo be represented at the meeting,
unless with the express concurrence ot its
own representatives; nor even then, but
subject to the ratification of its constitu
tional authority at home. The faith of
theU. Stales to Foreign Powers cannot
otherwise be pledged. I shall, indeed, in
the first instance, consider the assembly as
merely consultative and although the Plen
ipotentiaries of the United States will be
empowered to receive and refer to the
consideration of their Government, an\
proposition from the other parties to the
meeting, they will be authorized to con
clude nothing unless subject to the definite
sanction of this Government, in all its
constitutional forms.”
And the Message concludes as follows;
“That the Congress at Panama will
accomplish all, or even any of the tran-
scendant benefits to the human race,which
warmed the conception of its first propo
ser, it were, perhaps indulging too san
guine a forecast of events t«J promise. It
is, in Its nature, a measure speculative and
experimental. The-blessing of Heaven
mav turn it to ihe account of human im
provement. Accidents unforseen,and mis
chances, not to be anticipated, may baffle
all its high purposes, and disappoint its
fairest expectations. But the design is
great, is benevolent, is humane.
“ It looks to the melioration ofthe con
dition of man. It is congenial with that
spirit which promoted the Declaration
of our Independence ; which inspired the
preamble of our first treaty with France,
which dictated our first treaty with Prus
sia, and the instructions under which it
was negotiated : which filled the hearts
and fired the souls of the immortal foun
ders of our Revolution.—Nat. Int.

A garden.—A garden has ever had the
praise and affection of the wise. What
is requisite to make a wise and happy man
hut reflection and peace and both are the
natural growth of a garden. Nor is a gar
den only a promoter of a good man’s hap
piness, but the picture of it, and in some
sort shews him to himself. Its culture,
order, fruitfulness and seclusion from the
world, compared to the weeds, wilder
ness and exposure of a common field, is
no bad emblem of a good man compared
to the multitude. A garden weeds the
mind, it weeds it nf worldly thoughts, and
sows celestial seeds in their stead. For
what do we see there but what awakens
our gratitude to Heaven? A garden to
the virtuous is a paradise still extant, a
paradise unlost. What a rich present
from Heaven of sweet incense to man
was wafted in that breeze ? what a de
lightful entertainment of sight glows on
vonder bed, as if in kindly showers the
watery bow had shed all ils most celestial
colours on it ? Here are no objects that
fire the passions, none that do not instruct
the understanding and better the heart,
while they delight the sense.

From Dr. IVm. Price, formerly Surgeon of tht
Pennsylvania Hospital, kc.
Liverpool, (exg.) Sept. 1823.
The Vegetable Syrup, called Swaim's Pana
cea, prepared by Mr Swaiiri, of Philadelphia,
has recently been introduced here by Dr. Price,
from the United States of America, w here it is
now-extensively used in the treatment of a varie
ty of Chronic Diseases.
Of the efficacy of this preparation Dr- Frirc
has had abundant and most satisfactory evidence,
during a course of experiments made under hi
direction, whilst Surgeon of tho Pennsylvania
Hospital; and since his arrival in England, he
has had the good fortune of w itnessing mum ad
ditional instances of its successful administration
The diseases in which this Medicine has been
particularly useful, are those arising from con
stitutional causes—as in the various forms of
Scrofula, whether affe,cling the bone-;, joints, or
soft parts; and in cases, where a disposition to
this disease is manifested by debility only, it
operates as a preventive to the local disrate Lv
its beneficial effects on the constitution. It is
equally efficacious in mercurial disease, and in
the secondary forms of Svpilis, and has lately
been gi"en with marked success in chronic di
eases of the Liver, which had resisted the careful
exhibition of mercury It has, likew ise, very re
cently been administered with decided advr.m
age by one of the most distinguished Surgeons in
Loudon, in a case which had entirely destroyed
the right eye of the patient, and a great portp:i
of the side c-f the face. WM. PRICE. M. D.
