Fallow CiUxetc:—Permit me to ronaratulslr ton on the return of ihia day—a day most wor thy to be remembered and celebrated that ever dawned upon the wold, that excepted which »n ushered in hy the Ma- of Bethlehem. Thi* i> j not the language of flattery, Imt the language of the heart; and to lhi« you will all respond from a conviction of in truth. Long indeed and gloomy a a* the period during whirh a relentleaa tyranny held in subjection the mind of man. Even in those government*, which were conaidered the most perfect, there were many radical and deplo rable defect*. Resolution* rose after resolution* w hich aecioed only to increase the evils they were designed to cure, and plunged men into deeper misery. Iron rule, corfuaion, -disorder, alavery and death characteriled the government* of the eastern continent. But a new light waa aoon to burat upon the work) with alt its dazzling lustre. Free principles having waged a long war with despotic power to establish a constitution under whose influence the rights of man might be pro (acted, at length) found a home in the bosom of thb western cor.tinent. And heie tam aware it i* unnecessary, in an assembly composed of in. teligenl republicans, to advert lo the glorious events of 1776. Yet they demand a passing no tice from the consideration that it would ba disre spect to Uie shsdo of the Immortsl Washington-* founder of oOr republic— ami to the shades id tbosa illustrious homed of 76 who affined their signature lo the document jitst read before you ths! imperishable character of our rights and li' berliea—not lo revert with an oveiflow of grali- j lude to the birth-day of our freedom, and reecho J in the highest strains ofeulngy the names of those conspicuous, patriots who weic IniliuiiicnUd in the achievement of die triumph. Will the fame of Washington ever he eclipsed* Will ho ever bo forgotten, I will not say hy uny American,’hut hy any iruc lover ofjiberly, on the globe, who ia acquainted with Ids iiunict Mo was truly the boon of Providence to the human race. Firm as the rock lushed hy the wild sea i Wive, no blandishments could entire him, no plea sures absorb, ao obstructions impede, no (Dictions discourage, no adversity depress, no prosperity elate, or lead him (to act with 100 miicli preejpj- i fancy. The pen of the historian, and longue of 1 tha orator have represented him as equally dis- j languished in the cabinet and in the field; and lo , have thrown around his domestic character a halo of undying splendor. He was urged on and se conded hy great, hy (Kiwerful spoils. As long as history remains to show us the deep thought, the almost intuitive Knowledge, and elevated in telligence of a Franklin, tho liberal views, the extensive legal as WWI as political science of a * ( Jefferson, and the firm, unliemling courage ol a Patrick Henry, a voice shall cry aloud lo the uni. i verse, “fioedom and glory lo those who can dare • to die, woe and cveilasling infamy to him who 1 would enthrSl);the unconquerable spirit.” Nor ' should wo forget, on this occasion, to mcnlinn Jioso heroes of out own 'Stale, a Marion, a Sump ter, or a Lee, who in the common struggle for independence, battled against feat ltd opposition, and whose names, on account of the chivalrous , feeds they they hive peHhrinod, cannot fail lo i ran parallel with the long lino of futurity. Never 1 Hid the World behold such a hast of patriots as | engaged in tbo revololi.msiy war They labored , as philosophers and statesmen for the conslilu- i tienal rights of mankindt and fought as warders 1 For (he independence of their country. The foe j Was driven off disgraced,“-the foundation of this , fair republic was tstd-ssthu savage has retired— i ljl« forest has become a farm, tho desi-it a popu lous region—twenty sit great and lluunishing lilies take place of thirteen feeble colonies, and instead of about three millions of harrassed British subjects In! thirteen millions of freemen. What lover of mankind can behold this rapid increase iff our species, and the equally rapid nullification of all that Is calculated to render it happy, without ■admiration for the memory of your excellent forefathers,«nd gratitude to Heaven for so goodly heritage. Compare the condition of this country just as it in, with that of Europe. Them rulers arc con betted into oppicssors, and kings into tyrants- There unhallowed ambition has its worshippers, avarice it. Votaries, and vice its follovveis. The mass of the people are considered as a mere herd of cattle, and really, in a little time fio comca no belter. All principle, of honest pride, all sense of tile dignity of their natuto is lon* in their alavery. All impulse lo action ia gone, except that low and base one of feor. Human nature is not only abused and insul Ibd, bill is actually sunk and degtaded into a species of brutality. Scarcely a year passes, but Hie old world in some part ia agitated hy tho des olating scourge of war. There are continual am 1 mosaics, perpetual broils, and ceaseless conten lisna for honor, for empiic, Or fur (rawer. Tho liberty Os England, the freest country in Europe is little belter than a name. Their statesmen, in the highest drains of eloquence,can talk of reform and alleviation of public burthens, hut does the subject feel them! Let millions of her oppressed people answei. In shotl, he must be ah indif ferent dtuilrver bf passing events, who does not peiceive that the amount of happiness enjoyed hy Iho European, autfera in comparison with that of Ihe American. Hero we epUtn all such appella tions as king, my lord, duke, and carl, as empty sounds. And whoevet attbnlively considers the farm am) (exiurb of our government, its excellent symetry; its vast machinery—regulated hy laws I similar to those hy which the planctaiy System is governed—leveling Ihe distinctions Os names and of natioris—closing the avenues of oppression, and dispensing life, liberty dm) happiness )<! all who sock its protection;—-whoever considers such a government, must hail it as the brightest stut , in the political horizon, and anticipate its setting with soul-subduing emotions. When we vieW such I country, matching on to splendor, niagni; ficcflcfe and glory 4 ; whbre the arts arc (proximo ting lo perfection, and science is bringing the wonders of tho universe within the feeble grasp ofintelleet; we cherish an ardent desire that it . should stand forever, and this desire insensibly mingles in our prayers to Heaven. Hut when Wt reflect on the instability of all hu man gran deur, on lift fluctuations of government, on the transitions of Once splendid towns and cities, and their prcsieiil delolatc aspect, a gloom imparls it oelf to our minds, and we are led lo conclude that dissolution may impend our government at a pe riod perhaps not far distant. Let us then insti tute Ihe most important of all enquiries, what .causes may effect its downfall, and what contri bute to its perpetuity? The people are in theory supreme, though not ‘ always in fact; ami upon (heir suffrage all hopes j < of rule are built. Popular lavor is the grand idol! i tof man tv of our follow citizen,. F*-w are content ! without it, and none happy wuli it, tin iliei j young man’s day dream, and vision <>f malunly. In the csnvoaa for honors, nothing ia more wor i sloped than the people; yet, when these arc ol- ] i tallied, nothing is none thoroughly despised—at I one Isoic fawned upon and flattered, at another ■ I impudently deceived. In their name the con«u-| lution is violated, treason plotted, and Ihe wildest theories of the moat paltry dreamer take Ihe col- | oring of the public weal. Not lohg since the : I rlloney of the agriculturalist was exacted lo feed | ; the pampered statue of a law crested (naiocra-, cy, and we weie told the people willed It. Then Hie south was proscribed, her eloquent and high spirited sons relinked am) jeered, her sufferings made a jest, her independence a tribnlr, and hrt sovereignly a vassalage; and all this tn ihe name of ihe American (icople, lo foster tn American system. Even now a storm is brewing, and it gathers blackness us it rises, which will tiy tint I timbers of iho federal bark. Even now there are nuts few wild,visionary fanatics, who are willing, and may attempt lo pervert the constitution lo suit their ends, in order lo wrest from the south her moat valuable personal property, and abolish the system of domestic slavery. Blinded by their own mad view*, regardless of the durability of that constitution which was purchased by toil and blood; they would lake from hia home, and from bis kindred, the slave who ia fed, clothed, and attended when sick, by one who has the most powerful motive on earth to do ao—that of inter est. Though man is generally short sighted, )ft hers is an instance where benevolence look* at n ; distance. They circumnavigate the globe in search of a butterfly, when they might find it in •n angle of their own parterre. Let them con tract the Minim of their mistaken humanity, and exercise it on objects of more pitiable distress, in Iho form of many of their next door neighbors, amt the smith will lake care of herself. They will thus ensure the pcnfisnency of ihe govern ment. I« it possible for the people tn ho enslaved hy Ihe dishonesty of those who profess lo serve (hem. This is true of all public officers, hut especially so ol the I Ihitf Magistrate of the nation. The con j duet of him, therefore, who, holding that high I station would dare, contrary to all precedence, lo nominate a successor, merits tho severest taunts, rind bitterest execrations of an enlightened com munity, His riding Ihe sow holding her hy the ears lor a bridle, on the verge of a precipice, alter the gold phantom, heaven knows, is bad enough. But it is not to bn tolerated that lie should descend from his station, descend from his dignity, and from his integrity, (if he ever ascended to it) and palm himself upon the world as the lowest of the low in Ihe shape of nn eleclioncerer in favor of the little swindler—l beg pardon-—the grgnl Ma gician. Viewed through the glorification specs, he has always appeared a great Magician, Iho' in Ihe gold eliaae tie thought it •‘expedient to de viate a little.” I like net these nominators, these magicians, and these deviators. Tho one assume a power which king* only can claim, he other, hy one tone iof their Wand, may convert the government into on egg and so tread upon it, nod of the latter I would say it is as just absurd to talk of a deviating straight line ns a deviating upright man. The actions of one, who would crawl into office hy such base means, deserve lo ho narrow ly watched ua being in a high degree suspicions. “The (trice us liberty is eternal vigilance.” If the (ample were led lo themselves, to the in general virtue and good sense, they would keep in aalely the stk—of tho political covenant. But ply them with falsehoods, expose them to a liihm'.ed and corrupt press, and it ia not wonderful that they sometimes promote (o office men unworthy of , their confidence. One would suppose tint the . eternal principles of right and wrong, of truth j mid duly would not, could not vary lo accommo date the lax morality, or sheer dishonesty of the ' office seeking doelaimur. These principles arc as unvarying, ns the pillars of Heaven, & dim as the 1 foundation of Heavens throne. Yet wo commonly 1 find that intrigue and hypocriev ate the sole wca pons of parly warfare. To change their front, and rear from pole In polo are the stale resorts of yet staler politicians. Extremes have met, and lllo’ nature knows not such u strange conjunction, yet 1 it is familiar to politics. The limes have chang ed, they are dillerent from what they were when the banner of freedom was first Unfurled on the ramparts of tyranny. The simple integrity ami i moral heroism offyour fathers, flu not always mailt , tho character of their sons. These things give , ground for apprehension. Yet it is Consoling that , tn these remarks there are many honorable excep tions, Homan virtue, and homebred truth yet lives | in 1110 hearts of nn enlightened constituency. Do ( you ask where wo will find it. In the State of your nativity, and of my adoption. Office cannot tempi, distinction dazzle, or power assail the ster ling worth of » Calhoun or McDuffie. Steady and constant us the star of the (rale are these two lights which coalesce and beam from the republi can watch-tower; and majestic, changeless, and true (hey stand like the peak of the Cordilleras, while thunder, flood, mid thnno rage in mingled luty at its base. The political ambition of the Mouth should partake of the chivalry of its chut acler as well as the ardor of its element—uncom promising as Isle, yet magnanimous Slid forbear ing- Whether this government shall stand or fall is a question in which we are not alone interested. Hero the enslaved of all nations are anxiously looking to see how fares the grand experiment. It is succeed it will be the object of general joy, if it fad it will lie the cause of intense sorrow to all the oppressed, whether bleached by a torrid sun, or pinched by polar snows. Many encouraged hy your example have already dashed from their lips (he biller cup of servitude, and it is both pleasing liMittr humanity to witness their triumphs, &. grat Hying to our national pride to see tho benign' principles ofour live institutions standing out in (raid relief in ill! their new systems of govern ments. Should it be the fate of that grand (true -1 lure to which I liave adverted to crumble to the dost, the cause must besearrhrd for among those for whom it was erected and not In the fabric il aelf, Wisdom is its foundation, and strength its corner stone. Without the defects, it (rassca se« the good qualities of all tho excellent go vernments that have existed. It strikingly ex hibits the feelings of iho age in which it was framed. Your forefathers were stung by the gulling oppression of rulers repeatedlyi they had often seen the liberties of the people trampled up on hy a weak, despicable, and domineering ma gistracy; but had seldom seen the (icople forfeit the r liberties hy un abuse of their ow n privileges. Hcttee they formed a government heller directed against the encroachments of power, than against the errors and vices of the people themselves.— I Whether this was tho result of superior wisdom, which foresaw tkat these lay beyond the reach of human legislation, 1 am not prepared to say.— They did, however, present lo us a government of , most admirable, but of refined und delicate con struction. Even that part of it which possesses the most sttiking impress of genius and of xvis ' j dow—that which elicits feelings of unbounded ad i miration—is a pan from which much ia lo be apprehended, 1 allude to that in which tho de praved and discordant elements of the human character are introduced and managed with such admiiskle skill,that they are made to give strenght to the building, by exerting their powers against each utber. A slight view of such n system teacbCs us that, as the least change in the gravity or motion of the heavenly I.exiles would throw the worlds which move so beautifully around us, in to the Wildest disorder and confusion, so an im prudent or unskilful regulation of the powers of the government may change its beauties into de formities, and its blessings into curses. Mo gene rally does the same principle pervade the whole system, that wo need analtze it no farther, in or der to reach tho conclusion to which the forego ing remarks are pointed. It is this, thai honor and honesty, wisdom and integrity, in those w.io control the destinies us the nation, are essential to its perpetuity, Willi all its Iraatilgw and perfections it is still a government purely republican. Alt its (towers emanate directly from the people. From the people then it w ill take its character. If they Ira ignorant, dissolute or immoral, tho government "ill he distracted, weak or oppressive. If they Ira I intelligent, moral and virtuous, the government will be stable, prosperous and happy. , [To be Concliuteil in our ne.rt.] I I , Miss .MaaiiJiiiC ass Bull Brxr.—Miss!* Msrtineau says she could not find a tender piece ' 1 ul trael in Boston, complimentary to the i f f.'lll' ll iMi- rabble, *bo xi« «ill> r«ch ulU«rJn | leasling fun igrn i» and starving iln’if own iui-h | I try men.

Many heart-rending acene* Jiavc transpired, which have never been told out of the immedi ate vicinity of their occurrence; and which, like the flower “born to blush iinKoen,” have had no place of record, in the public prints of the day! Sometime ago a certain tenement on Mad igon aired was inhabited; everything a/ound promited comfort, prosperity mid safety; no one ever thought a cloud of calamity was gathering over this said lencinant, no one dreamed that the assassin, the incendiary, that fell destroyer of peace and happiness, had fix ed Ins iron graap of malice, or looked with gla rmg eye balls of destruction upon this domi cil, or its harmless, innocent tenants. But alas! such was the caae. Fatn had decreed it; the tenement was to be sacrificed, and the inmates were barely to escape destruction. I Time, in his untiring inarch moved on, and brought the day—the fnlai day. I lie aim m iso bright, clear, and'cnltveiiing. and threw for the last time his raya upon the tenement in w’adison street. Little did any mortal think,‘hat this was the day of its deatriict.on.

The slim, boring inhabitants ot New Or leans were a rout ed by the ponderous notes of the alarm bell wh ch hung in the old Gallic dral! The cry of,’re sounded long and loud! Then there was a n sh! “What is the mat ter?" was the questio t that every one asked.

In three districts, the two in Baltimore mid Baltimore County, And the one it Fred erick Comity, now tilled by Van Burcn men, Howard, McKim, and the arch revolutionist Thomas, the contest is hot and doubtful. Me- Kim is a principal merchant in Baltimore, — “mammoth merchant,” the Globe would say, who wold pave the road from Baltimore to Washington with dollars jrather than bo defeated. On Saturday last the McKun and Howard party served up for the peo ple a roasted Bull, at Federal Hill, with gin, whiskey and sling! One Orator among them —the Baltimore Patriot calls him “the noble Brutus,” —limn stirred up the people with bit oiutorical poker, which, together with the “en thusiasm” of the gin, whiskey, and sling, so inspired the parly, that the band who bad listened to the noble Bruins, armed With clubs look up Us line of march for the Open space in the rear ofthe Marsh or Centre Market, whore sumo two or three thmlsdml Whigs wore quietly, patriotically ami like free and good citizens, listening to the addresses of speakers on the subject of the approaching election and the embarrassed condition ot the country. Tim object of the limratldcra Was to make an assault on tlm Whig rostrum, poscss it, and throw the assembly into a stale of most “admired disorder.” As the as sault was made amid tlm darkness ot the night and was not aiiticipaied—as the assailants conlil not bo seen,—as their numbers could not be estimated, and as tlm VVhigs did nut foul disposed to stand and quarrel with a band of lawless desperadoes, they at the moment stood rather passive, Mr. Walsh, says, the Baltimore Patriot) a distinguished speaker and Wing, was at this moment addressing the meeting in an anima ted strain of eloquence; and when, lib saw Ins friends and Compatriots rather surprised at the audacity of a reckless mob, he raised his hands, culled on the VVhigs to tally, and with the spirit of a Hpartan in the voice of a Stentor, exclaimed, as he pointed to the flag that waved over him, "'that banner has been drenched with the blood of my ancestors in the achievement of the independence of my country —it shall be deluged in mine before I quit this stand, or refuse to breathe the language of a freeman.” The effect was etectnal; the Whigs rallied to a man; the unworthmess of tlm aggressors was forgotten in the midst of a just ebullition of indignation, and the in* solent intruders were driven from the ground they had vainly attempted to occupy by lorce, like chaff before the wind.

His views on the currency arc not novel, but he seems disposed to go against hickory leaves: “Follow citizens, 1 am awero that you are now satisfied that the salvation of us lions iers depends on having an honest man to rep resent us; therefore, 1 pledge myself, it elected to regulate, and render entire y quiescent, the legal and natural currency of the country, to wit, coon skins.*’ Readiness,— When Patrick Henry, who gave the first impulse to the ball of the Ameri can Revolution Introduced his celebrated resoluti >n on the stamp act into the House of Burgesses ot Virginia, (May, 1730.) be ex claimed, when descanting on the tyrany of the obnoxious act) “Cffisar had his Brutus; Charles 1. his Cromwell ( and Goorge 111.” “Treason, treason," echoed from every part ofthe House.
