Go view the disconsolate children, 'uereaved of a fond father, bathed in tears, wringing their hands around the heart rending mother, who with looks of destraction, with locks deshcvcled, and her tender infant in her arms, was following along the share, descrying the fatal bark that was bearing away the last fond object of her hopes, darting her watery ryes along the sky-b( und sea, to take a long, a last farewell, et the departing hostage! These are .some of th? :cene, that America had to witness during her late direful contact wiih Great Britain.

Already ha our name readied the diiVeient bounds : the earth, and kings and subjects hive in a small degree, im- . bibed the piinciph s of republicanism, and are struggling to follow our example. Aheady have the powers ot Europe witnessed what Americans are ib!e to achieve, both by land and by sea. Boasting England, no kmer reigns mitres ot the ocem, but with an envious '-ye, beholds the unfurled b nner of 'irccdom'a clime as it waves its glittering tars ever the briny Jeep. Though two cf the brighten luminaries, that ever gilded ihe western hemisphere, have run their ample rounds, and ta- - !en their eternal flight, to shed their lustres on ether region, they have left ether sitclites, subservient to their circuits, to follow their shining orbits, and light the American fleet through their trackless bounds.

Algiers and Tripoli, the dens of pirates and robbers, so terrifying to the wayward mariner, beheld the dhbolic display, that made their Bishaws and Deys tremble with horrid cft'rWtcrnattou. They were the Grit who dared approach the inhospitable bounds to demand of an infidel race, the unfortunate victims who were then lingering out their miserable days in the most wretched and abject slavery. Let us then be ever ready to follow their example; iz should your country's cause, again dc mand your'a:Utance; go dip your sail in Trafalgar's wave, go steep your trident in the urn of a Decatur, and a Perry, go whet your avenging sword on the tomb of a Washington, : t:d teach the stubborn foe? to freedom's cause, to bow and tremble b:fore the sceptre of liberty. v"- v fV :C "fVfS ej j via: 13, I WO.
