The thunder peals wr re heard no mere, The lihtnin? ceased to plow, The w:nd had hush'd its distant roar, Along the vale below Nature, just bursting from thechail Of winter fresh and fair, put on her robes of liveliest green, And fragrant was the air. So may this life of toil and storm, At ( veiling pass me by. So may my sun break out and form A Rainbow in the sky May gratitude and love and praise, Their fraerancy impart, To cheer the evening cf my days, And fill my raptured heart.

THIRTY YEARS AGO. From tl e Lomion Mirror. Thirtv years aro, there were many hundred millions of human beings alive who are now dead. It requires not the aid of inspiration to foretel the same catastrophe respecting hundreds of millions now living, in thirty years to come. Thirty years aco, all Europe was involved in the French Revolutionary War, the most atrocious & diabolical strife in which the lives of men were ever thrown away, since the ace of Nimrod, by the most humane, intellectual, and religious nations under the sun, in comparison with whom nearly all the rest of the people of the earth are cruel, ignorant, idolatrous barbarians! Such is the consistency of human character. We dare not prophecy that the crimes and cruelties of a similar conflict will not be renewed for thirty years to come. Thirty years asro, this kingdom was divided ajrai'nst itself tv the Aristocrats and the Jacobins, the first of whom were willing to sacrifice the liberties of their country to prevent the latter from extending:

There will scarcely be a pock-marked face to be seen thirty years to come. ILLINOIS. The friends of freedom in Illinois, are holding festivals in various parts of the state to celebrate their triumph over the advocates of slavery. The following is extracted from an address, delivered by Augustus Collins. Esq. at a public dinner, on the 2d ult. It is worthy of remark that

those who are opposed to the introduction

of slavery into that state, are now turning their attention to the Presidential election, and guided by the immutable principles of Justice, and of Equal Rights, their choice is 3Ir. Adams. "Permit me to congratulate you on the happy termination of a question, which for eighteen months ha so deeply interested our stattf, am! more or less our nation I mean thatqu tion which hud for its object the introduction of involuntary tlattry amonus. You are already acquainted with the unwarrantable measures to which the slave party have resorted to obtain their object. Cut the promptness with which they have been met by a virtuous, enlightened majority, at our last election, has blasted their fond anticipations. Let uj examine, for a moment, a few of the evils to which our state has been exposed no sooner is slavery introduced into a state than laoor in considered by thousands a badge of disgrace. Extensive manufacturing establishments are lookod for in ram. Vicious immoral habits are the certain fruits of iudolence. The poor man, who'cannot own slave?, is under a itrong temptation to become a gambler, thief, robber, or, in short any thins UJ which he can live without putting himself on a level wiUfJavc. The petty tyrant of a few miserable fellow-" beingf on the other hand spares much of his time and money in luxurv and dissipation which poorly qualify him to plan or execute any laudable enter; rise, while the poor degraded share, compelled to labor without rew ard, feel no interest in the prosperity of his master. He looks on w hite men as his enemies. He watches every opportunity to steal and squander their property. Put this i not all the time of their deliverance is

at hand!

J "I tremble for ray country," says the illustrious I Jefferson, "when I reflect that God i" just, that his (justice cannot sleep forever that, considering-nuin-! hers, nature anil natural means only, a revolution in the wheel of fortuue, an exchange of situation is

among possible events, that it may become probable by stipe ri atural interference I Tie Almighty has no attribute which t an take part with uc in sue h i a contest." The slaves and free blacks of our ' country are rapidly increainc; they are becoming i better acquainted with their risrhts. Let the scenes i of St. Domingo, and many othe rs of more recent , date warn the people of their dansrer. The balance j of physical power in many sections of our country, the sule of the Mave. Thu seeds of 1 rebellion have been implanted in every human brea'tby the God of nature, and are sure to vecej tafe beneath the scorching ray a of oppression and the tear of woe ! Let not the slavu state depend too 1 much on the free to quell insurrections. Feeble are

magistrate, not to feel and express a preference among the distinguished individuals now before the nation as candidates for that high office. Resolved, That the prominent talent?, the public services, the large acquaintance with the policy of our cabinet and that of

foreign nation?, the patriotism, uic .nu -Irity, the political experience and intelhjgenceofJoiiN Quixcy Adams, eminently entitle him to that preference.

Resolved, That while we make choice of this gentleman, it is among the proudest of our reflections, that the republic con-

1 tains so many other illustrious characters, ! capable of sustaining with ability the digInilied trust of President of the U. States, !and discharging with fidelity the functions ? which nertain to it.

Resolved, That this meeting cordially annroveof. and reciprocate the sentiments

contained in an address of the citizens of , St. Clair county, on the subject of the election of Mr. Adams, as published in the Edi wardsville Spectator, of the 7th hits. I Resolved, That William Harbison, of

I Sangamo county, he recommende d to the

citizens oi mis uimiu i i rwn.i v..w.. for elector of President and Vice President of the United States, at the ensuing election in November next. "? Resohsd, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the chairman and sec

retary, and published in the several newspapers of this state.

colonies, where they may enjoy thoe richts which they poi-x."se in common with the human funnily. The rapid emigration anticipate! from the slave states would not have been realized. The violated compact would have agitated our state and nation for a long time; It h equally certain that the friends of freedom would not have emigrated to a state where there was fco much confusion, and the rights of man io little regarded. Our complete victory over a formidable minority, who were willing to exposo us to so many eii, should excite our gratitude to the All-wise disposer of events. Tfiis, my friends, is a new and interesting era of our infant itate we now know of what materials we are composed. We have learned that a man may ce.me from any part of the country, and still be a geod citizen. Our sectional prejudices have received a great shock. Let the question no longer be when a candidate istobe selected for office, from what stale did he emigrate? but what are his qualifications?"

I those efforts w here the, feelings do not impel to acOIiC monopolized all the loyalty, and the ; tion. Now is the time to commence the glorious

other all the independence, in the land,and each with equal pretensions thatis,with none at all. The legal fiction of Constructive treason wa? invented in those days. and explained with such consummate clearness in a speech of nine hours, by the present Lr rd Chancellor, then Attorney General that no 1'2 honest men could he foil- d to understand it consequently, the accused were most ignorantly acquitted. M ay never a Jury be more enlightened for thirtv vears to come! Thirty years ago, the National Debt was tome two or three hundred millions.

By aide management it has been raised, in !

theintenal, to thrice that sum. But it already shews such symptoms of decay, that, unless some new war be engaged in to recruit it, there is cause to fear it may be reduced in the first named amount in thirtv years to come. Thirty years ujro, the Slave Trade was a lawful, honorable, humane, and christian occupation. It is now piracy, and persons engaged in it are liable to he "hanged by the neck until dead," at the yard arm. Human laws are ever varying justice is eternal. Slavery itself i t,ow as lawful, honorable,. humane and Christian a thing as the slave trade was then; there are seme signs of the times which afford a hope that, by a natural demise, a legal excrution, or actual suicide, our colonies will be rid of this curc in thirty years to come. Thirty years ago, Bonaparte was not known, except as an artillery ofticer in the French army. His campaigns in Italy, Germany, Egypt, Syria, Poland and Russia; his exile at Elba, his return to Paris, Ids overthrow at Waterloo, his imprisonment at St. Helena, and his death, have all been and gone, and as if they never had been, except in their consequences, which will notecase te be implicated with the fate of nations till the world's end. There may be a boy at school, this day, or rather at home, during the midsummer vacation, who'shall arrive at equal eminence of power, glory and dominion, over the destinies of man, through life and beyond the grave, in thirty years to come. Thirty years ago, the small pox was a perpetual pestilence, walking in darkness throughout the world, wherever ships and armies, merchants or travellers from Eu-

From the Edwardsville (III.) Spectator. At a meeting of citizens from the counties of Madison, Sangamo, Morgan, Greene and Bond, in pursuance of a public notice in the Edwardsville Spectator, convene J at Alton, on the 1 1th September, 1824. to adopt measures relative to the election of the next President and Vice President of the U. States, John T. Lusk, Esq. was called to the chair, and Doctor Erastus Brown was appointed secretary. On motion it was resolved that a committee of three persons from the county of Macison be appointed, to confer with gentlemen present from other counties, and repert to this meeting such measures as they may deem expedient in relation to the subject for which it is convened. Whereupon Augustus Langworthy, Wm. Otwell and Henry Starr ware appointed a committee, who in conjunction with Thomas Cox, C. I. Matheney, and Wm. Harrison, representing the county of Sangamo; Enoch C. March, representing the county of Morgan; Horatio Kewhall and Samuel G. Blanchard, from the county of Bond, and Isaac Waters from the county of Greene, after a short absence, reported the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Resolved, As the sense of this meeting, that the people of Illinois held in too high estimation the right which belongs to the citizens of this republic to elect its chief

They generally lean to the democrat interest, as a means of preserving ( these advantages, and of avoiding a master i under kingly government. This party have riches and courage, but they have t powerful opponents, and can only preserve . their interests bv ranging themselves on the I side of the people a fact which they bejgin to appreciate. I was always pouring I this into their ears, and the Military Chiefs considered me as their friend, whereas, I ! was merely consulting the good of the mass. Secondly, there are the Primates, and Oligarchs: these two, are for power ;and plunder. They looked to a foreign king as the means of supporting their ii -lluence. The third may be called the na- ; tional party. They consist of those who are not subdued by the military or civil Oligarchs. I mean the peasantry ,the merchants,the towns-people.some of the islandi ers, and a few fine spirits. When invasion I has been near, the national party have inclined towards the Military Chiefs; when at a distance, thev have risen against their : extortion. By degrees they gain strength. J Education. From what has been stated, it appears there is a great want of educated men in Gre ece. This is felt in ' the representative body, in the administration of justice, in the prefectures, in the army and navy in short, in every department of the? State. Bv the establishment of ,

schools and publicity, by courting the ingress of settlers and travellers, and the re

turn o enlighened Greeks to their country this desirable end may in time be attained. The defence of Greece now claims your attention. Navy. The Greek navy is composed chiefly cf merchant brigs from Hydra, Spezzia, and Ipsara. They amount to about CO sail. These vessels have been maintained partly by private contributions; and the sailors are skilful and brave. The Greek fleet is of the same character as the Greekarmy. It is not equal to cope with the combined Turkish fleet but has

. gained a mastery over, it, by its superior

sen:.en and tactics. When I nay tactics, I allude not to those of an highly organised navy, for in tbse they are deficient; but there are tactics for irregular fleets as well as armies for corsairs and privateers as for guerillas, Pindarics, and SirMis.

This, too, is the true military and naval policy for Greece to pursue. She cannot cope with the Turks in regular warfare, but she can lianas and worry them to death. Greece should have four good frigates, sixty of her own brigs, three or four steam vessels, some privateers, and a few gun boats in commission. She might then be secure against every maritime power, with the exception of England. Perhaps the committee might be able to procure for Greece some privateers, a steam vessel,and a good gun boat, as a model. One or two good naval officers, who could bend to native prejudices, and could submit with a serene mind to ail sorts of crosses, would be most useful auxilarics in the cause. Army. The captains are of humble origin, and many of them are descended from

shepherds. They cr their ft..r f-t
