Fell *w Citizens; Again has the ever memorable day dawned upon us; that day upon which 52 years ago, 55 delegates Irom 13 of these United States in Congress assembled, dared to publish to the world, that declaration which you have just heard—than which a great er monument dues not exist ot the herculean powers of the mind of man* Stub whs the great price set upon Liberty by the Sages aud Patriots ol 76, that they pledged every thing that was sacred in support of it. And was that pi* dge idly made, or tardily redeem d? N. Son ns the voire of the colonies was known thro’ their rcprcsentaMves, it caused a stil ness — mighty pause. Hut soon. Very soon, the minds of the people were prepared to meet this exigency. Like the puling infant, si arcely freed from its mothers breast, they had to meet the storms of an infuriated pa rent, and the bayonets of the ruthless soldiery .-Daily increasing in strength aud around to duty by the exh rta timis of zealous and p Uriotic citizens, the colonies were soon pi oed in an attitude of defence. In different sec tions of the country, societies were formed, aod small companies rais and. lull of 7.c..|, and indignant feeling to wards the author of their numerous ills; and enthusiasm soon transports the mind, and ivis**s the imagination, to a degree well suited tu their situa tion. At length these small bodies unite, and form a phalanx in the common causi; and as if deigned by Heaven, a nan of incorruptible morals, of pure integrity, of I .fly mind, ami real love d‘ country—George Washington ap pears, to lead this patriotic band, to death or victory! From victory to deft at, and from defeat to victory, they pursue their course, firm and steadily, relying for sue ess upon the Rules of events and tbo justness of tli ir t ause. Sometimes a cloud of gloom would pervade the cause of lib Tty. and de spondency almost size upon it-* Vota ries: But. suddenly agb am of hope fixes, and firmly roots itself on the astonished little band! “What being comes mil gloom to cheer?” Who is that God like youth advancing, un furling as he comes, the Banners of Freedom? Hail thou young Hero— Thou Philanthropist! Iris Lafayette! And has lie bid adipu to all the gay scenes which a splendid Court aff.nl; to all the endearing ties of chaste and lovely woman, and the tender off spring of the partner of bis choice, to espouse the cause of Liberty? Yes. And this was a glorious epoch in the annals id’ our Revolution, now the spark, which- was paffly smothered, rekindles and bursts Forth into a flame: now the needle points unerringly to the Pole of Liberty; and although the little Barque is rocked to and fro by the billows of doubt and the tempests of corruption, at last she is s.vfely moored info the haven of repose. To attempt to pourtray to you the blessings of freeedotn, and the great advantages derived from the suc cessful issue of the revolutionary struggle, would in me appear pre sumptuous; hut on the other hand, to say something in regard to the proper estimate we should bold them in, might not be departing from the duty of every Citizen. We have a written Constitution, one that is certainly a master piece, and well displays the genius, the deep research, and the wisdom of its author. Is it not important that the rising generation should clearly un derstand the features of that instru ment, that they may duly appreciate its worth? Certainly it is! instruct them then on this important point, and they will guard the outposts, aud defend the ramparts of that splendid edifice which has been rear* and by the blood and tresure of our Fathers, with a fidelity worthy the descendants of such noble sires.—Let careless ness take hold upon the minds of the people in regard to our Constitution and (he laws growing out of it, aud youp-ivetbe way for ambitious aspi rants to grasp the li<*i ii of State, and give a direction to aflf iirs, at once fatal aod destructive to liberty aud happiness. Were it phisieally possible, (like Me. Clay) I w mid, visit every city, town, village aud na nlet, not to warn the people to beware of a Military Chief. tain—hut to In* watchful over their rights, to repel every innovation, however specious in its appearance, that tended in the smallest degree to infringe on the well-marked bouiidery of our Constitution, and be careful that custom did not < reep in and es tablish its* If as an heir apparent t > th** rightful Sovereign. Then as Mr. J* ir*rson emphatically observes, that all men are endowed by their Crea tor, with certain unalienable right-; that among these are life, liberty and the persuit of happiness—how teua cions should we he in watching with more than guardian care, over those, inestimable rights arid privilodgcs, sy cured to us by our forefathers. / Soon, very soon, will \ve have t consult printed history, as the ‘times that tried men’s soul's; and lose that oral history, whi* h delights the soul and enlightens the understanding; foi these venerable and lofty mind-d me* of 76, have most of them taken their flight from all earthly scenes, and ‘gone to that bourne, from whence, rtlas, no traveller e’re returns.’ On ly one of the signers of the declaration now remain—tlm venerable Charles Carroll of Maryland, who yet lives t*. see the great and powerful growth of the Rcpublick, wbi h lie and his com peers so nobly defended by their words and actions: and to see in the successful tide of operation those in siiiutions, which are calculated by tlieir harmonious nperati ns to bind the American people together as one family; mid raise from a state of in tellectual degradation, the sons and daughters of a hardy, industrious and enterprising yeomanry, a.id prepare them to (ill the various stations whi. b a well regulated society require of them. By a reference to the Sacred Vol ume, we will discover that the ode bration of certain days, is n t a uov el thing. For 510 years before (he bii'ih of Christ, hi the reign of King Airtsuerus, the Jews experienced a signal deliverance from the averi cious and blood thirsty schemes of II - m in; and believing it to be a display ! of Divine goodness, they set apart the 14lli and 15th days of the month A d ir, to he days of rejoicing and thanksgiving, yearly and every year. —This is only one instance of num bers I could refer you to—Then should we, after our emancipation from a foreign yoke, remain with insensible apathy? Should we not oil this day call to mind, the pledge of our Fa thers, when on the 4tl of July 1776, with a unanimous and solemn appeal to Heaven, they pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sat red hon our, that with Divine assistance their posterity should be tree; Their pledge is redeemed. Ameri ais free. Her Eagle now soars independently and triumphantly on every sea, and through every clime, and while she offers friendship and peace with the one hand, with the other she declares that we are not defenceless bnt that we will protect ourselves from insult, and chastise invasion. Then let us ever keep this memora ble day in remembrance. Let our demonstrations of joy, flow gently, but unerringly to the Author of the blessings we enjoy;—The over-right eous may tax us with idolizing Wash ington and his Coinpeers in the Cab inet and the field; hut the conscious rectitude aud purity of our hearts J disclaim it. We do revere them for j their mighty deeds of wisdom aud val j or but we believe that the uuseeu hand of a God, was their succour and their safety. Since the Revolution, America stands uuparrali lied in Che history of toe, world, for increase of population. Holding out so many inducements to the oppressed of every country, em igrants from most countries, aud par ticularly Europe have flown to the Assy In ii which she affords. The arts and sciences, have been encour aged, and now flourish and present to the lover of literature and inechan i* ks, a treat little inferior to the days of Grecian excellence. Aud now for these innumerable priviledges aod great blessings, let our hearts be filled with gratitude to the Author of them. Let us cherish them as a bequest of inestimable val ue; and leave to posterity the strong evidence of our attachment to the in stitutions which have been founded by the wisdom, justice and modera tion of departed worthies; and teach them pra* tically the watchwords, “GoiLiud our Country.” yT For the CABINET. THE VESPER , No. VL A M ‘THEtt*S GRAVE. The f-hrine where gentle woman kneels To drop the t ar of filial love, VVh*-e her ang-dic heart reveals, The ray that beams from realms above. The proud su(ft of man may some times betid, hi the agony of affliction, >ver the fresh sod which em loses the •■artbly remains of a d-’par ted rela tive, and for a time, the hallowed spot is endeared to his memory, by the re collection of mmy fond mementos i*C filial affection and tender parental are. Rut these only soften, f>r a imp, his stern and unbending nature; liangc *(f scenery aud the necessary intercourse which his habits require, to p *S4 through the thorny path of life, soon dissipate his rec<d! *cti >ns, & the hallowed spot where rest, the remains e* on of ihe once lte|i>v-d patent, whit tenderly nursed his infant years, may bo f rg ift mi, amid the hollow hearted inter ourse of a sordid world. But it is not so with woman, from fiie earliest moment when the tender lisp of inf nry pronounces the endear ing title which gladdens a mother's heart, the cherub < Ii gs to her knee, as tin* protective shrine of all its irt f uitile fears, and rest on her bosom, to stil! its throbbing pulsations at the Approach of danger—"tis there the tie is formed width nothing hut ..death can sever. The budding of it fancy and the blooming of youthful ye as, all nurtured form the3ama tender bo som, render the heart ever alive to the filial impulse, and if (lie, cold hand of death should pereliance- sever the brittle thread whi h binds the mater nal bos mi, nothing can i r a moment obeliterat* and recollections nor erase its ever lively impressions. These reflections call to mind, a little incident which occurred within my observation a short time since. I was passing a f w days with a friend, in a distant part of the country, when one so e moonlight tvenieg, in the mouth of Mv, l if; the, house, to ramble alone in rhe and lightful shrub bery whi* h environed the vieiriify of his residence. The spring flowers had red yet entirely fall* ii from their parent stems, ard their nearly depart** ing season, yet left a few fine bloom ing wild roses det k the hedges which encompassed the church yard. The dews of evening were now falling on these sweet fi wers, and as the pearly drop reflected mildly in the moonbeams, a grateful fragrance sweetened the air around, whose agreeable odour, shed its mild influ ence oer the senses in a halo of plea sure, which none can feel but those who contemplate these beauties of na ture, as her fairest work given to man, as an emblem of their own hea venly origin. 1 had been but a few moments en
