LOVE OF COI XTRV.
Patriotism, or the love of country, is so general, that even a desert is remembered with pleasure, provided it is our own. The
Cretans cahed it by a name which mdica
ted a mother's love for her children. The
Kthiopian imagines that (Jod made hi
sands and deserts, w hile angels only were
employed in forming the rest of the globe.
The Carabiau tribe of Onndelin concur that
sun. moon, and stajs. rise only for them.
The Maltese, insulated on a rock, ciistin
gaished. their island by the appellation ol
' The llower ol the world;' and the Card
bes esteem iheir country a Paradise, and
themselves alone entitled to the name ol
men.
R sman relates, that the negroes of the
('old coast of Africa arc so desirous of be
ing buried in their ow n country, that if a
man die at si mo distance from it, ami his
friends are not able to take his entire bo dv to his nativ c spot, thev cut off his head one arm and one leg; cleanse them, hoi them, and then carry them to (he desirei
spot, where they inter them with great solemnity. And the Tanaucsc have such an affection for the place of their nut iv it y lhat no advantages can induce them, (the agricultural tribes in particular.') toipiitthc tombs of their fathers. The Norwegians, proud of their barren summits, inscribe upon their k dollars 'Spirit, loyalty, valor, and whatever is honorable, let the world learn among the rocks of Norway.1 The Abbe de Lille, relates of an Indian who, amid the splendor of Paris, beholding a cananec tree in the Jardines ties Plantes, hafacaj it with tears, and for a moment seemed to be transported to his own land. Anl when an European advised some Ainerican Indians to emigrate lo another district, "What," said they, "shall we sayto the bones of our fathers, 'Arise, and follow us to a foreign country ?' 11
related of John Randolph, that on one occasion, w hen the subject of making apppropriations for the public buildings was under consideration, re rose, and as usual, spoke in opposition to it; appropriations had been frequently asked, gaud as frequently granted and still the buildings went up with a stealthy pace; ho wanted to sec the end of it ; and for this purpose moved to refer ihe subject to the committee on wifnished business. A workman in the gallery close bv, irriatcd at the opposition Mr.
R. had shown to what was to constitute his
support, and unable to hear his taunt, cri
ed out in a voice somewhat like R.'s
And I move, Mr. Speaker, that the gen

formed and badly-made orator of Virginia,
set the whole House m a roar: and tho
