MEN’S TEARS.
From the German af Anastasius Grim.
Maiden, thou didst see me weeping!
All! methinks that woman’s tear
Is like the soft dew out of Heaven,
That in the flower-eup glitters clear.
If the troubled Night hath wept it,
Or the smiling Morning shed,
Still the dew the flower refreshes,
And renewed it lifts its head.
But the tears of man resemble,
Precious gum from Eastern tree;
In the vary heart deep hidden,
Seldom starting quick and free.
Through the bark thou must cut sharply
To the pith the steel must go;
Then the pure and noble moisture.
Bright aud golden, trickles slow.
Soon, indeed, is dried its fountain,
And the tree fresh foliage gains,
And yet shall welcome many a summer,
But the cut, the sear, remains.
Maiden, think of that tree wounded,
YVhere its growth the Orient rears:
Maiden, of that man bethink thee
Whom thine eyes have seen in tears.
From the Hartford Times.
YVl.MES, STARS AYD FLOWERS.
BY FRANKLIN 'V. FISH.
Breathe gently’ o’er her grave, ye winds,
Nor harshiy move the flowers
That shed their beauty o’er the tomb
Of that dear one of ours.
Oh! how her smiles would glad our hearts.
Her sweet voice soothe our pain;
Alas! that bright brief day has passed,
We meet no more again.
Y’es! brightly o’er her grave, ye stare,
It seems that when ye shine,
Her eyes are looking down, like yours,
And speaking unto mine.
Y’e cannot look so warm as hers,
Y’e cannot shine more bright,
Nor can y’e cheer, as she has cheered,
My deepest, darkest night.
Y’e Stars and Flowers, tiie bright and fair,
Ye speak to me of her;
So softly bright—it was not sin
To turn her worshipper.
This light hath left those radiant eyes.
The cheek hath lost its hue—
She left the flowers on earth, ye Stars,
To shine in heaven with you.

FIFTH OF Jl’LY—YVAI.LI_\f.FORI>.
The citizens of YY’allingford, without
distinction of party will celebrate the
coining anniversary of our National Inde
pendence, in connection with the recep
tion of the tombstone of lion Lyman Hall,
(presented by the State of Georgia,) on
Monday, the nth day of July. It is their |
desire and intention that the exercises I
shall he patriotically observant of the day, 1
and complimentary to the State which lias j
so handsomely and delicately acknowl-
edged the eminent services of a Signer of i
the Declaration of Independence, by the j
return of his original tombstone to t lie place j
of his nativity, and they cordially invite I
their fellow townsmen and patriotic citi- |
zens everywhere, to join with them on-
this doubly interesting occasion.
The following sketch of the proposed ]
proceedings will enable the public to form ;
an idea of what has been determined on by j
the committee of arrangements:
At sunrise, a salute of 13 guns, and the
ringing of t ells. At 10 o’clock the Con
gregational Church will be opened for
religious exercises, an oration, &c.
At 12 m. a salute of 32 guns, during
which a procession will he formed, and
march to the Railroad Station, to receive
the tablet sent from Georgia, at the hands
of Ex-Gov. Holley and the committee ap
pointed by the Legislature to accompany
it to YY’allingford. Supported by 13 pall
hearers, selected from the towns composing
the original town of YY’allingford, each of 1
whom will be over 60 years of age, and j
dressed in Continental emblems, the tablet j
will be escorted to the Burial Ground, J
where interesting ceremonies will be had. i
After its reception and depositing in the 1
die prepared for it, Gov. Holley, in behalf
of the Committee, will address the audi
ence, and he followed by the reading of the
Declaration of Independence, from the
monument.
The ceremonies concluded, the proces
sion will proceed to the Town Ilall, where
dinner will he provided, and the ceremonies
of ihe day concluded with a national
salute and fireworks. The people of
Wallingford are making every effort to
give eclat to the occasion, and satisfaction
to all who attend it.
Lyman ilall.
Tiie following sketch of the Life and
Public Services of Lyman Hall, we take
from the fifth volume of Sanderson’s
“Signers of the Declaration of Independ
ence,” published in Philadephia, by
Brown &: Peters, in the year 1S28.
Among the most strenuous advocates of
the Colonial cause, was Doctor Lyman
Ilall, a delegate from Georgia. Although
he does not appear to have acted a very
conspicuous part in the proceedings of Con
gress, he was nevertheless a useful man,
and enjoyed the honor of representing that
small, hut patriotic portion of the Colony
of Georgia, which, in opposition to the
great majority of its inhabitants, resolved
to unite in maintaining the general rights
and liberties of the country. Asa repre
sentative of the Parish of St. John, he
possessed a peculiar claim to the attention
of Congress, because the example of that
District, as was anticipatedt, proved a
trong incitement to the whole Colony in
their final accession to the general Con
federacy; this event occurred within four
months after the appointment of Doctor
Hall, and the whole thirteen provinces
now stood in hostile array against the
mother country. The weight of his in
fluence, and his persuasive manner,
mingled with a strong enthusiasm in rela
tion to the cause which he advocated,
materially influenced the parochial com
mittee, of which he was chairm in, and
consequently the general inhabitants of
the parish, in the adoption of that resolu
tion which pared the way to the immediate,
accession of the Colony of Georgia.
Lyman Hall was born in Connecticut,
about the year 1731, where he received a
classical education, at Y ale College, He
then commenced the study of medicine,
and attained a proper knowledge of his
profession at an early period of life.—
Before the age of twenty-one years, he
married in his native province, and in
1752. removed to Dorchester, South Car
olina. During the same year, he again
changed his residence, and established
himself in the district of Medway, in Geor
gia, to which place he was accompanied by
about forty families, originally from the
New England States. He settled at
Snnbury, where he continued the practice
of medicine, until the commencement of
the revolutionary contest.
A wider field of utility now appeared
before him, than the practice of physic,
under any circumstances, could afford him;
hut it was materially magnified, when con
trasted with the confined nature of his
situation in Snnbury. The enthusiasm
which now impelled him to risk liis fortune
in a peculiar manner, for the benefit of the
common cause, was the result of pure
patriotism. By accepting a prominent
situation, he rendered himself more
obnoxious to danger, and the locality of
the parish of St. John, placed his property
in a similar position. As a frontier settle
ment, it was immediately exposed to the
Creek Indians, to the royal province of
Florida, and to invasion by sea, and it was
actually through the two latter channels,
that not only the parish of St. John’s but
the greater part of Georgia, fell tem
porarily into the power of the British, at a
subsequent period. Georgia, at that time,
presented a frontier of two hundred miles,
and no part of the State, then settled, was
more than forty miles wide, with a scat
tered population.
The patriotism of the parish was severe
ly tested, by a voluntary political separa
tion from the other parish of the Colony;
hut the inconvenience to which the inhabi
tants submitted, by breaking off, to a cer
tain degree, all commercial communica
tion, is truly worthy of admiration. After
various vexations parochial and provincial
meetings, Doctor Hall attended a general
Mingo Town, July 4th, 1858.
F.I. B. Brown Esq., Ilawkinsville Ga:—You
will please let us have your oration upon the anni
versary of our Independence, as we wish to
bare it published.

THOS. DE WET.
An Oration delivered by Frederick I. B. Browne,
at Wesley Chapel, Pulaski County, Ca„ on
the id of July, 1858.
Ladies and Gentlemen: We have assembled
to-day to celebrate the 82d anniversary of
American Independence—the birth-day of Ameri
can liberty; and how grand is the occasion from
the great' results which have followed its first
coming, in 1776 to this very hour. It is the day
upon which the mind of the patriot dwells with
delight. It is no ordinary day: and to a lover of
freedom and independence there is a magic in tho
4th, a charm, a transcendently glorious recollec
tion of the lives of 76. of him “who was Srst in
war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of Ins
countrymen;” of the Hancocks, of Adams and
Jefferson, and Franklin, of Patrick Henry, tho
Pinkneys, and Rutledges, and hundreds of their
bold comrades, who poured out their blood freely
in onr revolution, and whose bones have whitened
our plains, our hills and valleys. What a field
for thought! Where is Bunker Hill, and Sarato
ga, and Yorktown. and Eutaw, with a host of oth
er recollections, to crowd upon the patriotic mind.
This is our national jubilee, and we ‘‘can read
our history in a nation’s eyes’—for to day from
the St. Law rence and lakes of the North, to the
tepid waters of the Gulf, from the Atlantic coast,
to the rocked-ribbed shores of the Pacific, through
out the whole expanse of our nation, one unison
of feeling goes up to the Giver of all good for the
blessings which have followed the 4th, aud for the
liberties bequeathed to us by our fathers of '76—
upon mountain, land and lake, and river, is a
scene of national rejoicing. And thousands of
miles away from home, and upon the ocean wave,
of the waters which are dark and blue, proudly
their attention had at length been aroused
by the alarming and critical situation of
affairs upon the Continent of America,—
that they were desirous of uniting with
the sister Colonies in the great and im
portant cause in which they xvere engaged;
that the conduct of Parliament towards
the other Colonies, had been oppressive,
and that, although the prejudicial acts had
had not been extended to them, they
could view this only as an omission arising
from the apparent insignificance of tlieir
Colony. The delegates appointed by the
Convention, Archibald Bullock, John
Houston, the Rev. Dr. Zubly, Noble
YY’imberly, Jones, and Lyman Hall; three
of whom attended at the adjourned meeting
of Congress, September 13th, 1775.
Mr Hall appears to have been absent
until the 20th of May, when lie presented
new credentials, dated Febuary 2d, 1776,
confirming the re-election of Messrs.
Houston, Bullock, and himself, and the
, addition of George YY'alton and Button
meeting of the Republican party, as repre-: Gwinnette, to the delegation. The ap-
sentatn e of the . parish of Sj:^ John, held pointment of .Ylr. Bullock to the Presiden-
ih, in July, 1774; hut the L.y 0 f {] ie provincial Council, prevented
ursued upon that occasion, ln m from proceeding to Congress; and Mr.
Houston was directed, by a resolution
at Savanna
measures [
>ithci' corresponded with the views of his
constituents, nor of himself. The same
body was again convened,in Savannah,
on the 18th of January, 1775; hut it ter
minated in a petition to the king, soliciting
a redress of grievances, and relief from the
that body, to return to Georgia on pub
lic business, in June 177G, hence only
three members from that State were pres
ent at the signing of the Declaration oi
Independence. The approach of the ene-
oppiessnc measures pursued by the L>rit- iny Having’ rencl er etl it inscenre to contin-
lsh ministry.jwhich met with the customary j ue gess j on 0 f Congress in Philadei-
reception. The report of Doctor Hall,
created great dissatisfaction among his
constituents, who resolved to oppose the
temporising policy which characterized
the Savannah Convention, by the most
decisive measures. They applied on the
9th of February, to the committee of Cor
respondence, in Charleston. S. C. request
ing permission to form an alliance with
them, and to conduct trade and commerce
according to the act of non-importation, to
which they had already acceded. They
strongly urged that, having detached
themselves from the other parishes ,thev
ought to be considered a separate body,
comprehended within the spirit and
equitable meaning of the Continental As
sociation. A full Committee of the Colony
of South Carolina, having taken the case
into careful consideration, were of opinion,
that while they had the highest sense of the
patriotism of the parish, and recommend
ing them to persevere in their laudable
exertions, it would he a violation of the
Continental Association, to remove the
prohibition in favor of any part of a
province; the precise words of the law
embracing an undivided Colony, or pro
vince.
The persevering inhabitants of St.
John however, were resolved to prosecute
their claims to an equality with the con-
federated Colonies, and accordingly
passed certain resolutions, by which they
hound themselves not to purchase any
slave imported into Savannah, nor to
trade in any manner with that city, or
elsewhere, excepting under the inspection
of a Committee, and then merely for abso
lute necessaries. Although these reso
lutions did not precisely accord with the
articles of the Oontinential Association,
which required absolute and nnqalified
prohibition; yet the resources of the par
ish were not adequate to supply the
wants of the inhabitants, and the rejection
of their request by South Carolina, neces
sarily compelled them to rely upon the
other parishes of their own’ Colony. The
next measure pursued by them, was the
appointment of a delegate to represent the
parish in the next General Congress, and
on the 21st day of March, 1775, Lyman
Hall was unanimously elected.
It has often been remarked, that the
success of the American Revolution, at
its commencement, was materially assis
ted by the principal scenes of oppression
having taken place in New England.—
The unanimity of feeling which has pre
vailed there, front its iirst settlement, was
undoubtedly greater than in any other
section of the country: bonce the outrages
committed, excited general indignation
with greater rapidity than they might have
done in the Middle, or Southern Colonies.
The quick and active circulation of this
spirit, communicating itself with propor
tional celerity through the mass of tho
people, may have given an early impor
tance to tiie contest, which dilatoriness
would have destroyed, Ly placing it in
the immediate power of the British to
terminate it: the natives of those provinces
were also scattered, in a peculiar manner
throughout the Continent, and naturally
feeling a deeper interest in the evils
which betel the places of their birth, than
the new neighbors by whom they were
surrounded, they not only gave them a
more quick and extended dissemination,
but expressed themselves with peculiar
warmth and decision. Such may have
been the case with the parish of St. John.
About the year 1700, a number of persons
emigrated from the immediate vicinity
of Boston, and their descendants removed,
as we have already remarked, to Medway
a district of St. John’s Parish, in 1752.
The patriotism of the parish attracted a
specific reward; the county formed from it,
when the Constitution of Georgia was
adopted, in 1777, was called liberty, as a
memorial of its ea»Iy representation in Con
gress. The other countries received the
names of Chatham, Effingham, Burke,
Richmond, YVilkes, Glynn, and Camden,
as a grateful token of respect towards those
members of Parliament, who distinguished
themselves as a advocates for the rights of
the British Colonists iu America.
On the 13th of May, Mr. Hall announc
ed his arrival to Congress, and being ad
mitted to a seat, produced his creden
tials; when it was unauimonsly resolved
that he should be admitted as a delegate
front the parish of St. John, in the Colony
of Georgia, subject to such regulations as
the Congress should determine, relative
to his voting. A difficulty soon arose
upon the point: during the deliberations,
it became necessary to take the opinion
of Congress by Colonies; when the im
perfect representations of Georgia, the
greater part of which actually opposed
to all of their proceehings, made it a ques
tion whether the Parish of St.John, could
he considered as representing that Colony.
After some debate, Ylr. Hall arose and
observed, that the present distressed state
of American affairs, had rendered this
Congress, indispensible;—that it was com
posed of delegates representing whole Colo
nies; and that, as lie merely represented a
portion of a Colony, lie did not insist upon
giving his vote as a whole Colony, but
was contented to hear and assist in the de
bates, and to give his vote in all cases
except when the sentiments of Congress
were taken hv Colonies. He concluded
by expressing an earnest desire, that the
example which had been shown by the
parish which lie represented, would be
speedily followed, and that the represen
tation of Georgia would soon be complete.
On the 15th of July, 1775, the Conven-. stands the weather-beaten and sun-burnt Tar,
tion of Georgia, at length acceded to the l T 0U . tho a, ‘ c . k ° f ' ,is s {^‘ » nd f in S 3
., , , e. > r . country; and to Ins v\ aslnngtou, and m that re-
General Confederacy, from reasons speci-■ gi 0 n where the Poets make the Mermaids sing,
tied by their deputies; they stated that you will hear the song of the old sailor to his
"Paul Jones’— the acknowledged king of the
sea, whose good fortune it was, to hoist the first
flag upon the waters, iu defence of America, to
put the Poor Richard, upon the rolls of fame, and
to make the proud mistress of the sea tremble, be
fore an insignificant nary. If it is ever w ithin
your province fellow citizens to hear this song
upon the ocean, you will be raised almost to the
very ga.es of Heaton.
Old John Adams iu the Convention which
adopted the Declaration that you have heard
read to day said, “sink or swim, live or die, sur
vive or perish, I am for the Declaration, and wo
shall succeed. The injustice of England has
driven us to arms, and blinded to her own interest
‘for our own good. She lias obstinately persisted,
until independence is now within our grasp. For
myself having having moved twelve mouths ago,
that George Washington be appointed Uommand-
er-in-chiet of the American army, may my right
hand forget her cunning, and my tongue cleave
to the roof of my’ mouth, if I waver iu the sup
port I gave to him. The war must go on, and wo
must fight it through. The people, if we are true
to them, will carry us safely through the struggle.
Sir. the declaratioa will inspire the people with
increased courage. Read tins declaration at the
head ot tho army, every sword will bo drawn,
and the solemn vow made to defend it, or die upon
the bed of honor. Let them see it, who saw their
sons and brothers fall at Concord, and at Lexing
ton, and the very walls will cry out in its support.
Through the thick gloom of the present, I see the
brightness of the future, as the sun in the heavens.
We shall make this a glorious and immortal <lay.
When we are in our graves, our children will hon
or it; they trill celebrate it with thanksgiving, with
festirity, with bonfires, and illuminations. On its
annual return, they will shed tears, copious gush
ing tears, not of subjection and slavery, not of
agony and distress, hut of exultation, of grati
tude and of Joy.” This prophecy, fellow-citizens,
has been fulfilled to the very letter, and if you
will allow me the expression, I would say almost
places John Adams along by the side of Ezekiel
and Isaiah ; for it almost seems to us the very spark
of inspiration. Did Cicero or Demotshenes ever
equal this prophecy? We have evidence that they
could sway the breasts of their countrymen, and at
one moment make Greece and Rome as fiery and tur
bulent as tiieir own proud Mediterranean. At the
next moment they would subdue the passions of
the multitudes, allay popular fervor, and ferment,
make all calm and smooth as a minor. They
were great orators, great statesmen, but no oration
can be shown in the records of their lives that
will compare ill sublimity with the prophicy I quot
ed. I allude not to sublimity of language
but the sublimity of is the mighty results which
followed, and the sublime thought that seem
ed to penetrate futurity, and make the old
man look down the vista of time, seo through
our revolutionary drama,and sanguinary strugglo.
This speech will live with our government. John
Adams has long since departed to her home, an
angel conveyed him, to the abodes of tho blessed
on high, to converse with the “spirits of just men
made perfect.”
It is not necessary for me to trace the main
causes of our Revolution, they are known to every
intelligent mind. Fortin- present 1 only say, that
it was not the Stampede act, nor the tax upon
tea, that caused our Revolution, as some suppose,
but oppression for years, and insult heap
ed upon injury. The American colonies shew
ed great ioyalty under tlieir King: and it
was in no rebellious spirit that our government
was founded, but in the great principles of right,
of justice, and of self-preservation, whereupon
arose the fairest fabrick of government the world
lias ever beheld. That eloquent defender of
American rights, Lord Chatham, whose name is
linked with immortality, declared uf*m the floor
of Parliament, that the conduct of “England to
ward her colonies, had been that of a cruel and
unjust step-mother,’ and he further declared, that
if we tamely submitted to such oppressions, “we
deserved to be slaves.” We were driven, fellow-
citizens, Hagai like, into the wilderness, there to
perish neglected, aud alone. But the God of
Abraham has been with us, to comfort us with
the refreshing shade, and gushing fountain, and
we have greatly increased, so that wo cannot be
numbered for multitude. Is it to be wondered
then, that when the first roseate hues of the Rev
olutionary dawn, broke upon us, that our people
were ready Ishmael-like, to strike down their op
pressors! They had crossed the boisterous ocean,
through tempestuous galesto seek here a fraternal
home, with acknowledged rights, and England
at this day will admit, I reckon, that
“They were men who knew their rights.
And knowing dared maintain.”
New England turns with pride to the year 1620,
and the old Plymouth rock, is made classic ground
by the landing of tho Pilgrims. They had fled
their country, but it was not the flight of guilt in
this people, but the flight of virtue. It was an
humble and peaceful religion, fleeing from cause
less oppression. It was conscience attemptingjto
scape from the tyranical rule of the Stewarts.—
It was Robinson and Brewster, leading off this lit
tle band, from their native homes, at first to find a
refuge on the shores of Holland, but ultimately to
come hither: and having surmounted a thousand
dangers, braved all difficllies, to find hero a place
of shelter and of rest. This is what the descend
ants of the pilgrims claims for their forefathers.—
And that old classic Rock, is honored as the asy
lum of religious liberty, aroqnd it is consecrated
ground, whereon they tread once a year, to enjoy
festivity, retrospect the deeds of their Puritan
fathers, plant their Banner upon tho Old Rock; and
may its standard rear as high as Heaven, and
wave as a glorious ensign of peace, and security to
to all nations. I should like to review the first
settlement of the Carolinas, of the “Old Domin- *
ion,” and of our own proud Georgia, but I can not
he allowed to do so in this address.
It is easy to see, Fellow Citizens, how onr
Revolution commenced. Here were a noble
8partau band who fleeing from oppression, “and
all the evils, that flesh is heir to,” left their conn-
try, and sought exile in the wilderness of Ameri
ca, without the pale of civilization, and prey to
the roaming beasts of the forests, but above all,
had to bare their breasts to the dangers of a sav
age foe, had to stand the shock of the rothless
tomahawk, and the merciless cruelties of the
scalping knife. I have thought their fate was
likened to that of Aeneos—the bold hero of Troy,
when he left the Livinnian shores. Like him
were they cast about, both by sea and land, by tbo
superior power of th<* fates, and the wrath of one
Juno, and as the lofty walls of Rome sprang into
existence, as the result of the flight Aeneas, where
is the more than Roman Empire, that has
arisen, in tiie train of the fiist Colonists of this
country. They will certainly do to place down as
1 1 nnfn nit IW prof (‘CmJnrn isontiiim
phia, that hotly met by adjournment, in
Baltimore on the 20th of December 1776,
when Ylr. Hall presented credentials da
ted October 9th of his third re-election.—
In 17S0, he made his final appearaftce as a
national legislator.
But the abandonment of his profession
the devotion of his time, and the depriva
tion of domestic enjoyment, were not the
only sacrifices that were made by Ylr.
Hall, at that eventful period. YYGien tho
British took possession of Georgia, he was
compelled to remove his family to the
north, and all his property was confisca
ted by that government. He returned
to Georgia in 1782 before the evacuation
of Savannah, and was in the succeeding
year, appointed Governor of the State.—
He afterwards settled in Burke County,
retired from public life, and died about
tlie sixtieth year ofliis age. One of tho
counties in that State, now bears his name
His only son died not long before, and ho
left a widow in independent circumstan
ces.
Ilall was about six feet high, and fine
ly proportioned. His manners were easy
and polite, and his deportment affable and
dignified. The force ofliis enthusiasm was
tempered by discretion, and lie was firm
in all his purposes and principles. The
ascendency which lie gained, sprung from
his mild, persuasive manner, and calm,
unruffled temper. Possessed of a strong,
discriminating mind, lie had the power of
imparting his energy to others, and was
peculiarly fitted to flourish in the per
plexing and perilous scenes of the Revo
lution.
Support Tour Hcrlianlrs.
There is no truth more unfleniable than that it is
the bounden duty of every community to support
its mechanics. They are a worthy and indis
pensable class of men, and we find no town
or village flourishing without their aid.—
Indeed, their absence is always a true index
of the condition of the place—whether it is ad
vancing in wealth and importance or sinking into
decay. Whenever we pass through a village, and
hear the frequent sound of the carpenter’s ham
mer, the clink of the blacksmith’s anvil—that vil
lage, we say to ourselves, is prospering. It can
not be otherwise, for the producers are actively em
ployed; and outnumber the consumers. When
ever this is the case, the people arc growing
wealthy, and at the same time training the rising
generation to habits of industry and morality.—
When, if a city or village pursue the oppsite of
this course—neglects its mechanics, aud supports
those of some other place, and those who are left
are compelled by force of circumstances to remain
will become idle and profligate—they will cease to
produce and become consumers—in a few years
they become beggars, and their children become
ignorant and vicious.
If there is any truth in tho assertion that we
ought, as a nation, to give the preference to do
mestic manufacturers, the fact is equally tme with
regard to the community ; both are sustained by
the same argument. If a merchant would have
around him substantial customers, let him by every
means in his power support the mechanics in his
village, and as they become more wealthy, their
custom will increase, especially in those articles
on which he makes the greatest profits, for it is
undeniable, that as men become more wealthy
they also become more luxurious, and no mer-1
chant will deny that articles of luxury always af
ford the greatest profits. The habit of importing
largo quantities of cheap foreign articles iu com
petition with ourvillage mechanics, is short-sight
ed and wrong, both as regards the mechanic aud
consumer, if the merchant will look further into ,
the operation of things, he would find that he ,
crossed the path ot his own interest by doingso.
Let the merchant bring the case to his own door,
ami he, perhaps may better understand it. Sup
pose that every individual who possesses the means
and who uses in his family four or five hundred
