0 glorious land fair Freedoms home,
Shrined in thv birthright's brightening iuine,
Not empire in the days of home,
So challenged earth's unbougbt acclaim ;
Temple of refuge for a world,
Wilt thy proud banner e'er be fnrled ?
Be furled by recent hands—cast down,
Tom, trampled ‘nenth the feet of slaves?
O, rather let the soil we own,
Be one red field of nameless graves;
Be nil we have, and all we are,
Whelm’d in one vast aeeldaum.
Blight beacon of earth’s better dav,
With all thy trophies, won by blood,
From envage foe, Irotn tyrant sway,
Won Irom the forest, mountain, Hood :
Last stronghold of the brave and free,
Can sons of thine be false to thee ?
Land of the Pilgrim fathers, those
Who boldly dared the wintry wave,
To find free homes midst forest snows,
Earth’s “ forlorn hope,” who found a grave ;
Will Treason mutter o’er their dust,
While the lone hillock guards its trust?
Land of the South, broad battle held,
So glorious with the deeds of old,
When patriots died, but might not yield,
Whose wondrous tale is scarcely told—
Whose holy dust its watch is keeping,
Where Marion, Greene arc calmly sleeping.
The myriad dead for us who fell,
Their battle slumbers yet unbroken,
They rest whilst all they love so well,
Os glory yet unstained gives token ;
Should Treason's earthquake round them
heave,
“ 0 God, cannot these dry bones live ?”
Will they not “ stand upon their feet,”
Will not the very winds once more,
“ Breathe on these slain,” that they may greet,
The scenes they battled midst of yore ?
An “ army great,” will they not shame,
To death the traitors to their fame.
Turn to your sires for lessons now,
Ambitious dreamers—little worth,
Dead, they yet speak, each noble brow
Frown on the recreant sons of earth ;
Spendthrifts of glory bought by tears,
And blood and want in bygone years.
So tame ! so fallen! can this last ?
May the false few pronounce our doom,
Spurn love of country, mock the past,
Os freedom’s temple build her tomb?
Ten brazen throats a people dare;
Then may proud millions well despair.
Forbid it, Thou, God of our trust;
God of our fathers, while we row,
beading o’er their sacred dust,
To keep their gift uusoiled as now ;
True to their fame, true to our land,
Against a world in arms to stand.
From the London Time*.
Vlkit of the Prince of to ale% to the United
States,
The Prince of Wales is now among a people
whose boast it is to havo shaken ofl - the yoke of
his fathers, and to have repudiated the right of
inheritance upon which he stands. There was a
time when the boast had its merit, and even its
moral power. When rebellion was thought to
deserve nothing else than extermination, and when
a great empire could devote all its resources for
seven years to the forcible subjection of those
whose hearts had been utterly alienated, it was not
ODly glorious but necessary to make the right of
self-government the education of the young and
the religion of the old. The heroes of American
independence fought with halters round their
necks, and a reverse would have bracketed Wash
ington’s name with that of Wallace in the gloomy
annals of this country. But we have changed ail
that. We have “called up new worlds to redress
the balance of the old ;” we have recognized rev
olutions and new dynasties by dozens ; and at this
moment we are actively sympathizing with a people
struggling to exchange a despotic for a constitu
tional master.
The Canadians had an eye to their railways, and
many of them thought their party emblems and
colors more important even than their future King.
But no sooner does the Prince attempt to land at
Detroit than lie and his suite are halt-killed with
curiosity and kindness. Had it been an attempt
to retake the possessions of bis ancestors lie could
not have encountered a denser phalanx, or a
greater difficulty in planting his loot on the rebel
lious soil. A countless multitude pressed to the
water’s edge, closed all egress from the boat, crum
pled up the avenue of torchbearers, and, when the
Prince was at last smuggled into his carriage, cat
off his suite, and hustled several into the water,
where the private secretary of the Governor-Gen
eral narrowly escaped drowning, and did not
escape injury from the paddlewheels. The multi
tude penetrated everywhere, and could no more
be kept out than the atmospheric pressure. For
hours they watched every door and window, scru
tinized every departure, tilled the railway station,
clung to the carriages, opened the windows, gazed
iusatiably, and were only shaken off by the motion
of the departing train. At every station the same
scene was repeated, and as the Prince passed
through the primeval forest and rude cleariug,
through solitudes or improvements, he exchanged
glances everywhere with those whose single wish
it was to see a Prince of Wales, and tell it for the
rest of their lives.
Sixty years ago politicians, if they could have
conceived such an abandonment of principle as a
Prince of Wales accepting the hospitalities of the
American President and people, would have spec
dinted on the chance of bis stealing their hearts
and winning back our rccreaut fellow-subjects. —
Certainly one could not imagine a more likely
instrument for the conversion of these nard rea
aoners and vigorous politicians than a young gen
tleman of unpretentious character, full of instinc
tive kindness, with the best possible mauners,
having a word for everybody, and able to say that
word with a mild look and gentle voice. But such
& thought in these days would be the reverie of a
madman, not merely because all have ceased to
hope for such a reunion, but because all have
ceased to desire it. There is not a sane man iu the
British Isles who would wish to see the United
Slates once more ours, and governed by Queen
Victoria, Lord Palmerston and the British Parlia
ment. Wc have enough and too much already,
with India added to our fifty dependencies. What,
then, is the gain to be hoped for in these days?
It is much indeed. The English gentleman has
his mission as well as the English Prince, aud when
the American citizen sees the first gentleman of
his race, he may feel a reverence, an admiration
aud a loyalty beyond the province of laws. All
that we wish for the citizens of the Untied States
is that they may become as much like ourselves
as possible, but with a few improvements that
might be suggested. An unaccountable cross
has crept into the American breed, aud we hardly
know ourselves when we look at our second cou
sins. They have clearly anotheP ideal, towards
which they develop as their own law of growth
and progress. The Prince of Wales is a bit of
the true stock, and Rhows them what they have all
come from. The quieter he is the better he shows
what the English gentleman ought to be, and the
American also. Nobody can qnarrel with him
there, even ou the score of obtrusive taieots or
showy service. The Prince has made many friends
in the Sow World, and evidently not one enemy.
That alone would be worth a Royal visit to the
United States. It may prove to that touchy race
how little wc wish to quarrel with them. Within
the limits of reason there is not a point that Eng
land would not gladly concede to secure her from
a quarrel with her own flesh and blood. One look
lat the Prince of Wales ought to convince the
citizens of the United States that England of 1860
and England of 1770 are very different things.
From Thackeray's Four Georges.
<.forge the Itmrili noil .<-rvc \Valllus
ion.
W hy, that year 1784 was remarkable in the life
ot our li ieud the First Gentleman of Europe. Do
you kno#rlmt he was twenty-one in thai year,
aiijl opened Carleton House with a grand ball lo
l the nobility and gentry, and doubtless wore that
lovely pick coai which we have described. I was
eager to read about the ball, and looked to the
old magazines for information. The entertain
ment took place on llie loth February. In the
■European Magazine of March, 1754, I came
straightway upon it *
“ The alterations at Carleton House being fin
ished, we lay before our reader* a description ot
the state apartments as they appeared on the 10th
rust., when H. It. n. gave a grand ball to the prin
cipal nobility and gentry The entrance to
the state room fills the mind w ith an inexpressible
idea of greatness aud splendor.
The state chair is of a gold frame, covered with
crimson damask ; on each corner of the feet is a
lion’s head, expressive of loititpde and strength ;
ihe feet of the chair have serpents twining round
them, to denote wisdom. Faeing-che throne np- j
pears the helmet of Minerva; ami over the win ,
dows glory is represented by a Saint George with j
I superb gloria.
But the saloon may be styled the ckef'-<r<juvre,
and in every ornament discovers great invention. ;
it is hung with a figured lemon satin. The window’
curtains, sofas, and chairs are of the samcj color.
The ceiling is ornamented with emblematical paint
ings, representing the Graces and pluses, together
with Jupiter, Mercury, Apollo, aud Paris. Two
ormolu chandeliers are placed here. It is impos
sible by expression to do justice to the extraordin
ary workmanship, as well as design, of the orna
ments. They each consist of a palm, branching
out in five directions for the reception of lights.
A beautiful figure of a rural nymph is represented
entwining the stems of the tree with wreaths of
flowers. In the centre of the room is a rich chan
delier. To see this apartment dans son plus beau
jour , it should be viewed in the glass over the
chimney-piece. The range of apartments from the
saloon to the ball-room, when the doors are open,
formed one of the grandest spectacles that ever
was beheld.”
In the Gentleman ’* Magazine, for the very same
month and year—March, 1784 —is an account of
another festival, in which another great geutleman
of English extraction is represented as taking a
principal share :
“ According to order, H. E. the Commander-in-
Chief was admitted to a public audience of Con
gress ; and, being seated, the president, after a
pause, informed him that the United States assem
bled were ready to receive his communications.
Whereupon he rose, and spoke as follows :
* Mr. President —The great events on which my
resignation depended having at length taken place,
I present myself before Congress to surrender into
their hands the trust committed to me, and to
claim the indulgence of retiring from the service
of my country.
Happy in the confirmation of our independence
and sovereignty, I resign the appointment I ac
cepted with diffidence; which, however, was su
perseded by a confidence in the rectitude ot our
cause, the support of the supreme power ot the
nation, and the patronage of Heaven. I close this
last act of my official life, by commending the in
terests of our dearest country to the protection ot
Almighty God, and those who have the superin
tendence of them to His holy keeping. Having
riuisheU the work assigned me, I retire from the
great theatre of action; and, bidding an affection
ate farewell to this august body under whose orders
I have so long acted, I here offer my commission
and take my leave of the employments of my pub
lie life.’ To which the president replied:
‘ Sir, having defended the standard of liberty in
the New World, having taught a lesson useful to
those who inflict, and those who feel oppression,
you retire with the blessings of your fellow-citizens;
though the glory of your virtues will not terminate
with your military command, but will descend to
remotest ages.’ ”
Which was the most splendid spectacle ever wit
nessed—the opening feast of Prince George in
London, or the resignation of Washington ?
Which is the noble character for after-ages to ad
mire—your fribble dancing in lace and spangles,
or yonder hero who sheathes his sword after a life
of spotless honor, a purity unrepronehed, a courage
indomitable, and a consummate victory? Which
of these is the true gentleman ? What is to be a
gentleman ? Is it to have lofty aims, to lead a I
pure life, to keep your honor virgin ; to have the j
esteem of your fellow-citizens, and the love of your
fireside ; to bear good fortune meekly ; to suffer
evil with constancy ; and through evil or good to
maintain truth always? .Show me the happy mail
whose life exhibits these qualities, and him we will
salute as a gentleman, whatever his rank may be;
show me the prince that possesses them, and he
may be sure of our love and loyalty. The heart
of Britian still beats kindly for George lll.—not
because he was wise and just, but because he was
pure In life, honest in intent, and because accord
ing to his lights, he worshiped Heaven. I think we
acknowledge in the inheritrix of his sceptre a wiser
rule and a life as honorable and pure ; and I am
sure the future painter of our manners will pay a
willing allegiance to that good life, and be loyal to
the memory of that unsullied virtue.
“Peaceable Secession.”
With many the idea seems to prevail that a State
may peaceably secede from the Union ; may with
draw from it without causing violence or disturb
ance to the nation. On this point Daniel Webster
spoke in bis last great speech in the Senate, on
the 7th of March, 1850. Hear hint:
“ Mr President—l should much prefer to have
heard, from every member on this floor, declara
tions of opinions that this Union could never be
dissolved, than the declaration of opinion by anj
bodv, that, in any case, under the pressure of any
circumstances, such a dissolution was possible. 1
hear with distress and anguish the word “ Seces
sion,” especially when it falls from the lips of those
who are patriotic, and known to the country, and
known ail over the world, for their political servi
ces. Secession ! Peaceable secession ! Sir, your
eyes and mine are never destined to see that mira
cle. The dismemberment of this vast country
without convulsion ! The breaking up of the
fountains of the Great Deep without ruffling the
surface! Who is so foolish, I beg everybody’s
pardon, as to expect to see any such thing? Sir,
he who sees these States, now revolving iu harmo
ny around a common centre, and expects to see
them quit their places and fly ofl', without convul
sion, may look the next hour to see the heavenly
bodies rush front their spheres and jostle against
each other in the realms of space, without causing
the wreck of the Universe. There can be no snch
thing as peaceable secession. Peaceable secession
is an utter impossibility. Is the great Constitution
under which we live—covering this whole country
—to be tbawed and melted away by secession,
as the snows on the mountain melt under the in
fluence of a vernal sun, disappear almost unob
served, and run oft? No, sir! I will not state
what might produce the disruption ©f the Union;
but, sir, I see as plainly as I see the sun in heaven
what that disruption itself must produce ; I see
that it must produce war, and such a war as I will
not describe, in its two-fold character.
Peaceable secession ! Peaceable secession ! The
concurrent agreement of all the members of this
great republic to separate ! A voluntary separa
tion, with alimony on the oue side and on the
other! Why, what would be the result? Where
lathe line to be drawn? What States are to se
cede? What is to remain American ? What am
Itobe ? An American no longer ? Am Ito be
come a sectional roan, a local man, a separatist,
with no country in common with the gentlemen
who sit around me here, or who fill the other house
of Congress * Heaven forbid! Where is the
flag of the Republic to remain ? Where is the
eagle still to tower? Or is he to cower, and
shrink, and fall to the ground ? Why, sir, our
ancestors, our fathers auil* our grand-fatbers,
those of them that are yet living amongst us with
prolonged lives, would rebuke and reproach us;
and Our children and our grandchildren would cry
out shame upon us, if wc of thi9 generation should
dishonor these ensign# of the power of the govern
ment and tiie harmony of that Union which is
every day felt among ns with such joy and grati
tude.

Ciias. IlArr, Esq. l>mr Sir: — You are *>n
entire stranger to me aud direct me to no and o
from whom I can learn your real character ar and
responsibility. This, if no other difficulty exiiws,
I would seriously cmharass me in making a favor 1-
! hie answer to your proposition. You should have,
jat least given me one respectable reference. The
fact that you have not done so, with other cireum-
I stances connected w ith your letter, makes it qui’e
’ doubtful whetlier 1 could honorably uceede lo
your proposition. You date trom Auburn, aid
tell me to direct to you at Auburn, but do not

as a suspicions circumstance. You ntay be sit
inmate of the State prison, or on your way them
—a fact which you see would interfere with the
fulfilment of your part of the proposed bargain,
even if 1 could fulfil the part you assign to me. —
You want $15,000 or 20,000. This is a common
want, and you are not to blame for using all hon
orable means to obtain it. But candor requires
me to state, that if you were in every respect a
suitable person to be bought, for the purpose you
name, I have not the amount to buy you. I hat©
no objection to your complexion; but there aie
certain little faults of grammar and spelling, as
well as other little points in your letter, which
compel me to regard you by education, mannei©
and morals, as wholly unfit to associate with my
daughter in any capacity whatever. You evidently
think your white skin of great value. I don't
dispute it; it is probably the best thing about you.
Yet not even that valuable quality can commend
you sufficiently to induce even so black a negro
as myself to accept you as a son-in-law.
Respectfully, Frederick Docgi-abs.
Wesley aud Whitfield.
The subjoined extract fron Thackeray’s Lecture
on George 11. of England serves to show that a
Wesley and a Whitfield were needed at that period
of civil and ecclesiastical decadence:
“As I peep into George ll.’s St. James’s I see
crowds of cassocks rustling up the back-stairs of
the ladies of the Court; stealthy clergy slipping
purses into their laps ; that godless King yawning
under his canopy in his chapel royal as the chap
lain before him is discoursing. Discoursing about
what? About righteousness and judgment. While
the chaplain is preaching the King is chattering in
German almost as loud as the preacher ; so loud
that the clergyman (it may be one Dr. Young, he
who wrote Night Thoughts and discoursed on the
splendor of the stars, the glories of heaven, and
Utter vanities of this world) actually burst out cry
ing in his pulpit because the defender of the faith
and dispenser of bishoprics would not listen to him.
No wonder that the clergy were corrupt and indif
ferent amidst this indifference and corruption.—
No wonder that skeptics multiplied and morels
degenerated. No wonder that Whitfield cried out
in the wilderness, that Wesley quitted the insulted
temple to pray on the hill side. I look with rever
ence on those men at that time. Which is the
sublimer spectacle, the good John Wesley sur
rounded by his congregation of miners at th© pit’s
mouth, or the Queen’s chaplains mumbling through
their morning office in their ante-room, under the
picture of the great Venus, with the door opened
into the adjoining chamber, where the Queen is
dressing, talking scandal to Lord Hervey, or utter
ing sneers at Lady Suffolk, who is kneeling with
the basin at her mistress’s side ? I say lam scared
as I look around at this society, at this King, at
these courtiers, at these politicians, at these bish
ops, at this flaunting vice and levity. Wherea
bouts in this Court is the honest man ? Where is
the pure person one may like ? The air Rtifles one
: with its sickly perfumps. There are some old
world follies and some absurd ceremonials about
our Court of the prossnt day which I laugh at;
but, as an Englishman, contrasting it, with the past,
shall 1 not acknowledge the change of to-day ?
1 As the mistress of St. .laxnes pauses dip now I su
lutc the sovereign, wise, moderate, exemplary of
life; the good mother, the good wife, the accom
plished lady, the enlightened friend ot art, the
tender sympathizer in her ]>eopie’s glories and sor
rows.”
The Etrecls of Tobarrn.
Sir Benjamin Brodie, an eminent London phy
sician, was applied to recently to unite in & peti
tion to have a parliamentary committee raised to
inquire into the effects of tobacco upon the huntaa
system. lie decliued > because he did not consider
such a committee competent to investigate such a
subject, but he has written a letter upon the sub
ject to the London Times, in the course of which
he says:
“ The effects of this habit are indeed various ;
the difference depending on difference of constitu
tion and the difference in the mode of life other
wise. But, from the few observations which I
have been able to make on the subject, I am led
to believe that there are few who do not suffer
harm from it, to a greater or less extent. The
earliest symptoms are manifested in the derange
ment of the nervous system. A large proportion
of habitual smokers are rendered lazy, listless,
indisposed to bodily and incapable of much mental
exertion. Others suffer from depression of the
spirits, amounting to hypochondriasis, which smok
ing relieves for a time, though it aggravates the
evil afterwards. Occasionally there is a general
nervous excitability, which, though very much lesa
in degree, partakes of the nature of the delirium
tremens of drunkards. I have known many indi
viduals to suffer from severe nervous pains, some
times iu one, sometimes in another part of th©
body.”
He afterwards adds:
“ The following observations relate to the habit
of smoking as it exists among us at the present
time. But a still graver question remains to b©
considered. What will be the result if this habit
be continued by future generations ? It is but too
true that the sins of the fathers are visited upon
their children aud their children’s children. We
may here take warning from the Indians of Ameri
ca. An intelligent American physician gives the
following explanation of the gradual extinction of
this remarkable people : Oue generation of them
became addicted to the use of firewater. They
have a degenerate and comparatively imbecile pro
geny, who indulge in the same vicious habit with
their parents. ‘1 heir progeny is still more degen
erate, and after a very few generations the rat e
ceases altogether. We may also take warning
from the history of another nation, who some few
centuries ago, while the banners of Solyman the
Magnificent were the terror of Christendom, but
who since then, having become more addicted to
tobacco smokiug than any of the European nations,
are now the lazy and lethargic Turks, held in con
tempt by all civilized communities.”
Progress of California.— The following ex
tract from a letter, dated San Francisco, Sept. 11,
will be read with interest by all who feel interested
in the growth of the Pacific States:
“ Our annual Mechanics’ Fair iR now open at
the pavilion, and full every day and evening. I
saw on seventeen inches of a twig, cut from a tree
four years’ old, twenty large Bonne do Jersey
pears, weighing together eleven pounds; also an
other twig, having five Gloria Mundi apples weigh
ing eight pounds. I saw, also, several fine-looking
white turnips, all of nearly the same size, one i t
which measured forty-eight inches. It was nearly
round, perfectly symmetrical, and weighed thirty
six pound* There is also on exhibition a Califoi
nia cheese weighing twenty-two hundred pounds.
It wn made near San Francisco. The great in
crease of manufactures in California is truly won
derful. Her agricultural wealth is well known, and
rivals her minerals; but the enterprise displayed
by her manufactures is only anew proof of tha
vitality of her people.”
