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.

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. , [Centaur not Fabulous.
