The intellectual, as well as the mate rial world has experienced throughout dif ferent eras of progressive time, frequent changes and successive revolutions. Litera ture may be observed, at one period, sin resplendent in all the imposing beauty of its acknowledged excellence : at an&lfier, op pressed by a multiplicity of both moral and physical causes, that effectually prevent its glorious and extensive developement. Now genius may be perceived towering in the ut most grandeur of its peerless majesty; exalt ed to an elevation that proclaims defiance to human conception or human speculation again, descending, scarcely visible amidst the obscurity and gloom, that envelop the midnight of ignorance. Such, through the ray to obstruct its progress;" dispelling, as an airy phantom, the gloom that, perchance, may have hovered around its birth; it draws, in copious profusion, from th$. Pierean spring, and astonishes mankind by its bril liant scintillations. And, though the exer tions of genius have been crowned with suc cess, at periods when liberty, could scare* stem the current, and bfurp the ntorm of opposition, yet we canntot attribute the re sult to any advantages, which this state of things might have prevented, but solely to an extraordinary majesty of mind that omni potence alone was able to restrain. Its mis fortune, in having fallen on days so unpro pitious to its growth, claims the richest sym pathies of the lover of literature, as well as the philanthropist. Too powerful to be trampled into obscurity by oppression, or overawed by arrogance, how wonderful had been its development, born and nurtured on the soil of freedom. Let it not be urged, in contravention to this fact, that genius is fos tered by the protection and patronage of a crown, ora nobility Oh, no ; the spirits of departed sages would rise up indignant from their silent and lonely sepulchres, to contradict the unfounded assertion. Their shades, assuming a yet darker aspect, would frown with contempt upon so preposterous a calumny. Yes, the immortal remains of a Racine and a Corneille, of a Dryden -and Milton, would burst the bands that confine them within their narrow tenements, and in behalf of their brothers, refute tne infamous slander. They would point you to that po verty which surrounded them whilst living; they would bid you listen to their last expir ing groans, and then contemplate their wretched obsequies; speaking facts, in the recital of which, language cowers, and des cription falters. - But why attempt to substantiate by ab stract argument, that liberty is the nurse of genius ; a . truth, which thi experience of the past, as well as the present, conspires in establishing. At the appearance of the first glimmering light of freedom, what mighty Work of Deity do we behold arising in the East the splendid harbinger of the approach ing day ? It is thqt immortal poet, whose productions will ever existth4 proudest mon ument of Grecian glory, and of Grecian genius. His rise was the- presage of that force of conviction. But, it is not requisite felicitous era to his county,, l in which the reign of liberty and letters w.is so happily blended ; an era that should serve afe a' polar, star to designate the path for succeeding generations. But alas, Oh Greece ! where now are thy peerless bards, who, soaring to Heaven in the amazing flights of poetic fan cy, forever consecrated the glory of their na tive land, in the sublime strains of their matchless lyre ? Where now are thine ora tors, whose enrapturing eloquence spoke life into inanimate nature, and swayed the mighty destinies of man ? Where now are thy painters, the masterly strokes of whose glowing pencils taught the mimic canvass to live and breathe ? And wheTh, too, are thy philosophers, whose wisdom filled immen sity with its presence and whose fame e merging from the consecrated groves of the Academi®, was echoed back from the remo test regions of the earth ? They are gone the last expiring gasp of liberty proved the death knell to their spirits, It is, however, fondly,to be hoped that their children will e’re long awake from the torpid insinsibility in which the noblest faculties of their souls culminating orb of day, -vhory suddenly dis sipating the lowering he appears re fulgent in his matchless brilliancy, its diffu sion was so rapid, as to outstrip prophecy But its evenings were leSs -splendid and cheering. As if unwilling to desert kind, in this darksome wilderness^! other in Europe, speaks aloud through those illustrious sages, poets, and philosophers, who have entwined the olive wreath of fame around the brow of their country. All these stand forth, as incontrovertible instances of the salutary and expansive influence of liber ty on the mind. But let us now recross the Atlantic, sur vey this widely extended continent, and ev ery heart must respond in loudest acclama tion,'to the sentiment that it has been rcser-. ved for America to preside at the birth, to rock the cradle, and to accelerate the growth of infant genius. We stop not here; were the assertions that have been advanced, not sustained by substantial reasons, as well as conclusive^facts, perhaps they might fail to convince the understandings of the more sceptical. This country offers not merely the combined advantages of all others, but likewise presents many of which she alone is enabled to boast. As a striking character istic of our own in contradistinction to some portions of the civilized world perfect free dom of discussion, upon every subject, whether political or moral, is not only toler ated, but assiduously encouraged. Chasten ing the public sentiment where notsufficiently refined, and correcting it w’here absolutely misguided, by its influence, morality, and knowledge are more extensively diffused, and national spirit is elevated and ennobled. Restrict the free expression of opinion, and these beneficial effects, to which it is so happily conducive^^ill disappear, like the brightness of day before the coursing shades of night. Doctrines, founded in error, or based upon a narrow’, contracted policy, and supported by the idle sophistry of intriguing demagogues, will ultimately prevail, as im mutable truth through the powerful instru mentality of prejudice and habit. Thus we see,that this palladium of a people's rights this promoter of peace and harmony—this source of both individual and national im provement, is entirely subverted by the fou l daemon of oppression. Then it is, that the cloud of despotism shrouds every thing in blackness, and paralizes the efforts of genius by its blighting presence. And then, too, it is, that the contrast between this Si"te of intellectual bondage, and our own happy condition, appears in a view fraught with the to enter into competition with beings who roam through the solitudes of servile degra dation, without a ray of mental light to serve as a .pioneer, in their devious wanderings ; it is not necessary to look down with min gled exultation and sympathy upon the wretched condition of those who have just commenced, or, arc but partially advanced in^the great work of civilization and refine- rrfent, to prove our superiority. Let the ,contest rest with the most enlightened of the Eastern kingdoms, and the contrast w ill appear sufficiently striking. Inconsequence then of the partial, though not entire free dom of discussion, as permitted in other por tions of the globe, this advantage by no means diminished, in importance, is, never theless, rendered of a less peculiar nature; and is only to be estimated exclusively our own in proportion to the greater degree of liberty with which public sentiment is here invested. In connexion w’ith this, fortune has be stowed upon us a language that combines vi vacity and beauty, with copiousness, and that is uncorrupted by the continual intro duction of foreign idioms, or the contami- have so long slumbered, emancipated, and renewed. Even now after a lapse of more I nating influence of vulgar usage.

Who will deny that our literary ro-fdissolution.

The free to honorable pursuits apd noble engage ments. Aware that he is accountable for the lives and prosperity of unborn millions; that his own happiness and fortune are de pendent upon his exertions; and that these exertions, supported by industry and perse verance must be crowned with success; what individual, possessed even of the most ordinary intellect, can fail to be in- pired with a celestial energy and highest aspirations? Whatheart, though the riibst cold and indifferent, can fail to experience the liveliest emotions 1 And w’hat feelings, though naturally the most callous, can fail to vibrate w’ith keenest sensibility ? But let us now stem the rushing current of time, and revert for a moment, to periods that wore a gloomy And cheerless aspect, when the wigwam of the Indian and the den of the wild beast alone covered this exten sive country, when the war-cry of tho savage was tlie echo of the hill and the ntusic of the valley. Let us contemplate its ap pearance through each successive era, and how gradual, yet wonderful is the change. At first uninhabited by civilized man ; now, by ten millions of exulting freemen; then education hod not scattered around its fra grance and beautified the land; now liberty and intelligence are universally diffused* And the wave of population, rushing back from the shores of the Atlantic towards the tempestuous coast of the Pacific, like a mighty surge of the' ocean, “ has already rolled over the Alleghany, crossed the Mis sissippi, and now beats the base of the Rocky Mountain*,” May we not, too, by a con templation of the past, indulge the rational presumption, that the day is not far distant when every desert will yield to the influence of civilization, and the spot that now bears the sturdy oak or the majestic pine, will smile with peace and plenty, the habita tion of freemen. What extraordinary in ducements does this reflection impart to the youth of our country. But does incre dulity still lurk within to misguide the Un derstanding and pervert the judgement? Look then around upon the scene which the’land presents. We refer you not to the departed, but we point you to thp living. What is the language, on the one hand, of this splendid ar-ay/ff manty intellect, and on the other, of that beam of intelligence which flashes from the eye of innocence and be^qty ? What speaks the that ^ Statesman, whose native in the capacity of a diplomatist, cated affairs of our country; <111 ty and strength of mind governed, fully, the financial departmment t Union; and whose wisdom ought to uided the helm of government ? What,'® 1 i : too, speaks the collection of talent, the dis- _ play of knowledge, and the exhibitions of eloquence, that our Congress affords?.^ They all proclaim in language of thunder* the superior advantages of American genius. Fellow Citizens,* Whilst the enlivening reflections in which we have indulged, would naturally suggest thejpfopriety of adverting for a few moments^to those who were the happy in- strumcntsW securing to us these inestima* ble privileges; the recurrence of this aus picious day cannot fail to impress it upon our serious consideration. Where shall we turn to discover those illustrious men, those un swerving patriots, those firm and steadfast supporters of the rights of man? Shall weseb them arrayed in the ranks of the living, still enjoying peace and prosperity, as tho fruits of a life devoted to the cause justice and humanity ? Shall we here behold, crowned with happiness, the just recompense of their toils and their labours ? No; the living are nly the inheritors of these blessings ; the ities and doubts, its declension wap uniform ly marked by a retarded, yet progressive course, till the disappearance oftheftait twink ling luminary that still lingered to shed its roseate reflections amidst the moral darkness of the world, left only a track of glory in the skies. It would seem, that the career of science has been intimately connected with the destinies of liberty ; and that, attending as a wedded bride, the eagle in his western flight, she has at length adopted this our highly favoured clime, as a permanent a- bode, and as a secure asylum from the in justice of unlimited despotism and the per secution of misguided bigotry. This con temptation of the vacillating track of learn ing has suggested a few reflections on the animating, and not inappropriate subject of the superior advantages of country’s youth. The great expanse of created existence of fers not a fairer field for the complete exhi bition of talent and the successful cultiva tion of the mental faculties than that which is presented by a republican government. The philosophy of free institutions, is not calculated to foster the wayward hallucina tions of the untrained intellect, to shackle the mind with the manacles of ignorance, and to sink it to the deepest abyss of in tellectual thraldom ; but to animate the spirit, invigorate the hopes, expand the soul, and render men capable of enjoying the real felicity of independence. In proportion, to the advancement of any nation, in the cultivation of free, and liberal principles, are we there enabled to hail the triumph of of genius. Overthrowing, with the impetuosity of the mountain torrent, ev ery obstacle, that may impede its onward march ; crushing by a touch, the strongest opposition, that envy, or prejudice may ar- to sing your deeds of valor, or chant your communication and interchange of opinion requiem in the rich inspirations of his muse, and sentiment that here subsist, amongst But we need not longer traverse the classic all ranks without discrimination, tend to soil of Greece^ to admire a scene that fancy chasten the vulgarity, and to correct the consecrates, and memory reveres ; we need imperfections of language, and to servo as not longer indulge the pleasant luxury of an ordeal for its perfect purification.
