ODE.

BY L. S. SHTJLfcR.

Sung at the celebration of the Arinner SQTy of AMERICAN July 4, 1818. MORE free than the Wabash that glide3 thro the plains, Republicans meet round this joyous libation ; From freedom blest millions resound the bold strains, From earth tilling peasants, the lords cf our nation : Loud echoes to fame. The dav shall proclaim, That gave INDEPENDENCE her

blood written name,

And c.vn'd nature's equal eternal decree,

eaten ne'er form d you slaves man was born free. While WASHINGTON o'er us sublime iv was head, No treason the ieague-union'd states coind dissever, Of freedom the guardian, of tyrants the dread His name snail grow dearer and dearer forever ; When worlds cannot save, Gn en garlands shall wave, And Liberty blossom o'er WASHING 1 ON's grave, To prove nature's equal eternal decree, Heaven ne'er form'd us slaves man was born to live free. From no haughty lordling our tenures we id, From - we bought the rich soil we Oui great and our mighty, the wise and the bold.
