It is also beyond all question, that if effects which flow from their natural causes are not counteracted by some strong antagonist principle, the increase of power and riches will be followed by an increase of luxury, and its train of attendant evils.

"Increase of power begets increase of wealth;
Wealth, luxury, and luxury excess;
Excess-the scrofulous and itchy plague,
That seizes first the opulent--descends
To the next rank contagious, and in time
Taints downward all the graduated scale

It is a lamentable truth, that in the constitution of man, the blessings by which he is surrounded are capable, if misused, of being turned into the bitterest curses. In the natural world, we perceive that the elements which sustain life and enjoyment, may become the active agents of destruction. The sun itself, the fountain of light and heat-the very atmosphere we breathe the gentle breezes of summer-may become the sources of pestilence. So in the moral world-the choicest gifts of Heaven, if ignorantly or wickedly perverted, are frequently changed from healthful aliment into consuming poison. What, for example, can be a more precious boon to man than liberty;

"Tis liberty

which now exist in different sections of the Union, will be softened down and subdued. The comforts, necessaries, and luxuries of life will be more generally dif fused, and the stock of useful and practical knowledge will be greatly increased. On the other hand, there are evils to be anticipated from the perpetual locomotion and friction of society, which will probably counterbalance all the advantages. It will engender a restlessness of spirit-a constant desire of change--habits of expense disproportionate to means-an aversion to labor-and especially agricultural labor, which repays so tardily. It will introduce strange fashions and new vices into regions which are now untainted, by reason of their seclusion. It will, perhaps, rob domestic life-"The only bliss

Of paradise that has survived the fall"—

of much of its quiet, security and repose.

From what has been said, you will probably infer, that I consider the continued existence of our Republic as uncertain. I do. I cannot subscribe to the oftrepeated dogma, that it is treason to despair of our free institutions; on the contrary, I think it is folly to expect that they will escape the common destiny of created things. It is far better indeed for their immediate security and preservation, to consider (paradoxical as it may seem) that they must ultimately perish. Individual man, is conscious of his own mortality, and why therefore should he think that the mere work of his hands is immortal? The knowledge that the term of natural life is limited, obliges us to adopt all the And yet how thin is that partition-wall which divides means and precautions which usually conduce to lonrational freedom from licentiousness and anarchy, and gevity.

In the language of Cowper, whom I have already quoted

That a Republic, based upon the union of law and liberty, is the best government for man, seems an undeniable truism. But it does not follow that because it is most conducive to our real interests and happiness, it is therefore the most permanent. There is no doubt that the universal prevalence of the christian religion, would convert the earth into a perfect Eden. Order, peace, justice, charity, and the long train of moral virtues, would prevail over fraud, injustice, outrage, and the equally long and hideous catalogue of human vices Even government itself might be abolished as useless and cumbrous, if men were inclined to yield voluntary obedience to the precepts of christian morality. But who is credulous enough to believe, that on this side of the promised millennium, such beautiful visions will ever be realized. Who does not know that so long as man exists in his present state, his passions and follies will too often prevail over the dictates of reason and justice. It is, in truth, a gross, though common error, to suppose that Republican government is, of all others, the most simple and natural in its structure. On the contrary, I consider it the most wonderful and complicated of all human contrivances. A watch is apparently a very simple machine, and yet if examined, we shall find that its parts are exquisitely adapted, and fitted together by the highest mechanical skill. Happy would it be for us, if the mechanism of our free institutions, when violently thrown out of order, could be as easily repaired as our watches; but there are no mechanical principles which can be applied to the regulation of human conduct. Man, as a moral being, is not subject to the same laws which govern inanimate There is no philosophy which can provide for the ever-shifting circumstances in which he is placed, or which can scrutinize the subtle phenomena of his motives, propensities and passions.

"The pulpit (in the sober use

The most important and effectual guard,

Next to the maintenance of religious institutions, the adoption of wise systems of education, and popular instruction, will be greatly beneficial; and there is no part of education, which, traced to its ultimate conse quences, is of higher utility than the early and careful culture of the female mind. It is one of the happiest characteristics of the present age, that woman is allowed to assert her just claims to intellectual improvement. Man, indeed, has found it to his own true advantage, to emancipate her from that inferior condition to which his pride and tyranny once doomed her; for when she has passed through the blooming period of girlhood, and assumes the important and responsible character of a matron, it is then that she becomes herself an instructress, and exercises a powerful influence on the rising generation. It is the voice of a mother which first electrifies the infant heart; and if that voice is attuned as it should be, to the accents of truth and virtue, its impressions are almost indelible. On the other hand, unless she who ministers at the domestic altar be qualified for the sacred charge, it is impossible to estimate the mischief which may follow. The tender plant of the nursery requires incessant watchfulness and care; for, in the language of the immortal bard of Avon,

"Tis in the morn and liquid dew of youth, Contagious blastments are most imminent." The general diffusion of sound popular instruction is indispensable to our existence as a free nation; and it is far more important than appears at first view, that correct opinions of human nature should be inculcated

neither the perfect nor perfectable being, which poets and political rhapsodists sometimes represent him; on the contrary, though possessed of many noble qualities, he has some which continually tend to his debasement. If he knows much, he is ignorant of more; his strength is blended with weakness, and good and evil flow from the same fountain of his heart. If the mass of society were wiser and better, the demagogue would not venture to flatter their vices, or inflame their passions. Extravagant adulation is as false and ridiculous, when applied to the crowd, as to monarchs on their thrones,

No practicable plan by which the dan-as the foundation of all useful knowledge. Man is gers that await us, if not entirely overcome, may at least be postponed? I answer, that much may be done by powerful, united and persevering effort; and this brings me to the last subdivision of my subject, already 1 fear, spun out too much for the patience of my hearWhilst I solemnly believe that Divine Providence is as active, if not as visible, in the affairs of nations, now, as in the days of the Jewish theocracy, when the children of Israel were led through the desert by the pillar of cloud and fire; yet, I also believe, that human agency in every generation, is employed by that same Providence to mould and impress the character, institutions and morals of those who come after them. It is, in truth, an unwavering trust in the Supreme Being, and a profound conviction of moral accountability, which constitute the strongest cement of free institutions. It was, undoubtedly, the prevalence of the Atheistical doctrines of Epicurus, which led to the rapid subversion of the Roman empire; and the reign of terror and bloodshed, in revolutionary France, was not consummated, until infidel Jacobinism had demolished the altars of religion, and proclaimed that the grave was the place of eternal rest.

Wise legislation may also accomplish a great amount of good. There is no maxim more common or more pernicious, than that a legislator should be a mere passive agent, to be moved only by popular impulse or caprice. On the contrary, he should study the peculiar genius and character of those who clothe him with authority. He should endeavor to promote every good tendency, and counteract every propensity to evil If he be wise and virtuous, he will enlighten and improve society by the spirit and elevation of his views, and will be just as likely to impart as to receive instruction.

The rich and educated classes especially, are bound by every obligation, to aid in the elevation of those who are less fortu

States, as well as individuals, must practise justice, cultivate harmony, encourage knowledge and virtue, suppress vice, and recommend simplicity and economy by example.

That our political annals should, occasionally, exhibit instances of gross departure from these sacred principles is deeply to he lamented; and among them all there is not one which will fix a more lasting stigma upon the American name, than the course pursued by our gov. ernment towards the Cherokee nation. The conspiracy of kings, which led to the partition and ruin of Poland, was scarcely a more execrable outrage upon human right, than the miscalled treaty of New Echota, which was ratified by an American Senate, and by which, an unoffending and peaceful people, were sacrificed to the rapacity of a band of speculators.

It is hardly less to be wondered at, that that same illustrious body, (the United States Senate,) should stil: more recently have refused the grant of an acre of ground, for the erection of a monument to the father of his country. The lofty pyramid, it was thought, would obstruct the prospect from the capitol,-as if an American Congress could have constantly before them, an ob ject more likely to purify and inspire their deliberations. Notwithstanding this slight to the memory of one who was first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen," I would earnestly recommend to all who hear me, to study diligently the life and writings of that incomparable man. A visit to the falls of Niagara may awaken sublime emotions, but a pilgrimage to the shades of Mount Vernon will rekindle the embers of patriotism when almost extinct.

MUSIC.

Mysterious Music! o'er the realms of feeling
'Tis thine to reign supreme: thy witching voice
On the charmed ear, melodiously stealing,

Can melt to tears, or bid the heart rejoice.

Some strains there are-may they be mute forever!
I would not hear them-it would seem profane;
They bring to mind the loved, the lost, who never
Shall in this world breathe sounds of song again.
With their soft notes, awakened mem'ries gleaming
With hues too strangely blended-sad, yet sweet-
Before me rise, of eyes once bright and beaming;

Eyes that on earth mine never more shall meet.
Tones of sweet voices hushed; the kindly greeting
Of hands once clasped in mine; soft cheeks of bloom;
Hours full of bliss, pure, exquisite and fleeting,
Now with the silent past, and in the tomb.

Thou hast, oh Music! airs the deep, the thrilling,
Meet for the spirit-stirring trump and drum;
With pride and hope each soldier's bosom filling,
That bid him to the combat fearless come.

And the slow dirge above that slain one, seeming
Fit requiem for the brave; though mournful, grand;
That breathes of noble deeds, of banners streaming

O'er those who died for their loved native land.
When the dark, crimson tide of war is pouring,
His country's battle-cry is in his ear,
With clash of swords and thundering cannon's roaring,
And death or conquest only can be dear;
The warrior feels the shrill-toned bugle swelling—
Its martial numbers, fires his gallant heart;
Before his vision floats his own loved dwelling-
His arm is steel-that strain hath done its part.

'Tis thine the bliss of youthful hearts to heighten,
With lyre attuned to mirth's inspiring lay;
The radiant eyes of beauty thou canst brighten-
Make the dull cheerful, and delight the gay.

And thou canst o'er the soul, shed gleams of glory,
In sacred sounds that bear the spirits high
Beyond the earth; and to the gray, the hoary,
Bring promise of a youth that shall not die.

No river in the country possesses finer or more commanding sites for country seats on its banks, than the Potomac. These have often, with much good taste, been occupied, and adorned with mansions, where hospitality is dispensed with a liberal and generous hand. The tall and elegant Lombardy Poplar will often mark these sites, where the houses themselves are screened from view by the other trees with which they are surrounded. It is a luxury, indeed, to sit in the porticoes of these mansions-how often have we enjoyed it!with the 'sun wheeling on its broad disk behind the Virginia hills' and the fresh breeze blowing right from the ocean-to look up and down, the river rolling at your feet, as far as the eye can reach-your view limited only on the one side by the mountains which you can faintly distinguish like stationary clouds in the horizon, and on the other, never ending till the clouds and water seem to unite and mingle together, and the vision can pierce no farther!

Let us essay to discourse somewhat of the noble river which laves our shores, albeit we know it will be a feeble effort. Indeed, we never pass up and down the Potomac, (which is, happily, often our wont,) without being strongly urged by our feelings to "utter its The Potomac is a tortuous river, and its channel is praises." With its limpid sources in the highlands more sinuous and winding than its course. Sometimes its turmoil with the rocks-and its victory over the you strike out into a broad bay, where navies might ride mountains, we are not familiar, though it has been our with ease, the shores looking dim and hazy in the disfortune to stand on Jefferson's Rock at Harper's Ferry, tance; then you approach a point, and doubling its and spend hours at the Great Falls-both possessing, shoal you run into deep water within a few yards of the in their scenery, as much of the grandeur of nature, as, beach, along which you sail, until again you shoot across perhaps, any other two places on the continent-Niagara the stream and reach the opposite shore.

If any one fond of nature's beauties-quiet beautieswishes to indulge his taste, let him on some pleasant day in summer, when there is breeze enough to fan the waters and fill the sails of the vessels, ensconce himself on board one of the fine steamboats that continually plough the waves of this river, and there, taking his seat under the awning of the promenade deck, as he glides past the shores, "drink in with his eyes," all that he sees around, below, and above him, until his soul overflows with thankfulness to the Giver of so much that is calculated to soften, refine, and delight him!

There is no very bold and rugged scenery on the river, from the Anacostia down to its mouth,-but the general regular slope of the shores, both on the Maryland and Virginia sides, is agreeably diversified, at intervals, with lofty cliffs and promontories, wooded to

Reach, &c. Afar off the land appears to 'lock' on either side, and you would think the river abruptly terminated at the foot of a range of hills. Approaching nearer you find it gracefully curving a projecting bank, rounding which, another expanse of water opens to your view, and appears again to end in a similar manner. It is thus that the view is continually varying-still beginning, never ending'-diversified with all that can please the eye or gratify our sense of natural beauty.

The river is not a solitary highway, where only eccasionally the cars of commerce move in their trackless path. There are no prettier vessels any where, than the craft that dot the surface of the Potomac, and are seen skimming along, with their white sails spread to the wind, wherever the eye wanders. Cheerily the sound of the craftman's song is heard across the water, and often he beguiles his silent watches with the music

of the violin, which, though rude, sounds not unpleasantly to the ear as it comes mellowed by distance.These little vessels you meet constantly-you see them stealing out from the creeks that run far inland, and hovering about the shores as if afraid to venture out— and then you may follow them pushing boldly into the middle of the stream, spreading their canvass to catch the breeze, and often careening under its power, until they turn their very keels to view. Moving majestically in a fleet of these, you will meet the stately ship, heavily laden, returning to port, or departing on her voyage-a "Triton among the minnows"-or oftener still, the sea vessels of a smaller size, but yet far larger than the craft, wending their way through this great thoroughfare formed by nature.
