V\’hen w’e contem|)late the nature of
j man, we iind that he is a social and de
{ peii(lr:iL beitik'’. i’roin these two circtitn-
! stances, mankind have been formed in
to national associations. Hut his sorial
;>nd (lepcndonl character has its liinits :
livery ititli'. iiiual, of every nation, has a
i,’-!eali-i‘ allectiun fur liis ou'n couiitiy,
than uiy other, 'riiis alVet lioti or love
is called jiatriotisni. If we take a view
of the various euioiions in man, »ve pcr-
ceive, that none, have a greater (fFect on
liim tl'.an jjalriolisin. No oilier iitl'e; tio;i
v.ill prompt him to engage in nK^re Iraz-
arduus eiHei prises, or to sulVer any ad-
v(.Tsi‘i j» of fortune, w ith more patience.—
It is p'ttriolisjn, that prompts a man tp
ri ,k l.is life in defence of his country. It
is jmtriotivn, v. hich inspires the .soldier
with couiage,an'l renders liim regardi
of (“Very datijyer. It is prtrio>i.'>pi, tliat

ry e>-tr( ti)ity of distress, whether arising
"ro’.u famine, ccrlil, pestilence, or the
vitii'^kt ::.'])ii:l’.i;v’, or ul'trinj; a
murmur. Patriotism is one of the no
blest principles, jilantcd in the bre.isl ot*
man. It is hy patriotism, that so inany
men "have rendered themselves the
most disfinguiihed and illujtrtous char-
icters of the world. If we examine the
faithful records of history, wc see at once
the truth of this assertion. Thousands
of instances might be found, to show the
noble effects of patriotism. If we revert
to ancient history, we there find «ome oL’
the noblest ])atriots. Among whom, we
may enuiuerate Cicero and Demosthenes;
tw'o of the, greatest patriots tlut fireecc
and Rome ever saw. Though they per
formed no iliutrious exjiloits as (lenerals,
yet that detracts not from their greatness,
as patriots. A man may he a dist ing'iished
patriot, and yet never signalize himself,
in one solitary action iti a military ca
reer. The* man, w ho acts as a Legisla
tor, the welfare of whose country lie;;
nearest his heart, wliose welfare he pro
motes, by enacting wise and salutary
laws, for the good of his country, is a
patriot. The man, who presides as chiet’
Magistrate of any nation, if his adminis
tration incline to the good of his country^
is apntriot. The man who acts in any other
publicstation,if it be In the capacity ofaiu
Instructor, and if the object he lias in view,
be to instruct youth, for the honor and
support of his country, is a patriot. 'I'he
indejiendent Kditorofu Republican Press,
is a patriot. Since then, a man can be a
patriot, without exposing his life in de
fence of his couuiry, Demostheni s and
Cicero, as noble patriots, are enrolled im
the annals of history. We see them exert
ing the whole ()ower of their eloquence,
to preserve their countries. Particular
ly Ciccro ; who, when Cataline had
formed one of the most detestable and
deep laid conspiracies against his coun
try, by his prudence and watchfulness,
at the risk of his own life, not only de
feated all C-ataline’s attempts, but by the
thunder of his elojuence drove him' from
Home, For him tiie Roman Senate, to
show tlir ^rcat respect, they had for this
noble patriot, decreed a public thanks- ■
giving, in his name, to the (Jods. It was
conceived in these words. “ Qnod urt),e>n
incendiis, cnedc cii'c.% Jtatiam hello, li/jents"^
sem.”* Cicero, in his third oration against
Catalitie, exjiresses himself in these beau
tiful lines, “ Quibus pro (antis rchtis, Quiri-
tcs, nullum ego a volns prenemium virtutis^
nullum iusifffte homris, nullum munumentum
laudis postvtoy praeterquum hvju.s tiiei int-^
morvvu stiupUcrnmn.''i These lines give
us a true sketch of his character aud
ought to be the principle of every patriot.
lUit let us return lo modern history,
and we shall find men as great as Cicero,
and Dcinosthenes, if not in oratory, at
least in patriotism, and other noble qual
ifications of the mind, which render man
so dignified. In the first place, wc may
enumerate the immortal VV.\6hivoto.s',
Jackson, Fhankh.v« and LAKAyicTTE,
whose patriotism, and glorious services,
are so well known, that I need not at
tempt a description. Suffice it to say*
that without their aid, our independence
might not have been acquired. We can
find no nation on the globe, that has en
dured nioi-e pl-ivations, and suffered more
from devastations, than the ' United
Stales. Ofitntimes her citizens have been
massacred^ with the most unrelenting
fury, and put to death by torture. Yet,
in Spite of every obiitacle, they triumph
ed over their enemies. What cause can
we assign for their engaging with a na
tion so rr.uch ,superior in strength, in
population, and in experience ? Was it
not tin love of liljtriy, and patriotism.^—-
It appears almost envious to particularize,
any of tlie patriots, who were engaged
in the defence of their country. Yet I
will mention a fevv who have signalized
themsclv«-s in a very eminent degree.—
May we not bring to out memory, the il-
luijtrious I.,\vvi‘.ENCF,, who died gloriously
fight ing for his country, and who left a mot
to, that will laiit as long as one sjiark of lib
erty remains. In his flyingrnomentsheex-
claimed, 'Don’t give up the shipj let the
flag wave while I live.” 'I'his illustrious
patriot, thought within himself, wheij
lighlfng for his country, Dulce et decorum
e.'-t pro putrid mori. f Though his body be
now consigned lo (he grave) yet his noble
actions, and nairiotisin* live in the mem
ory of his grak f’ul country. His exam
ple is ever worthy of imitation, by every
true jialriok It will be a stimulus for
ages to coiue, to all who desire toacquirc
f([Uul ])i-aise and fjlory. Commodore
I’i.iiKY is another famous example, of the
noble efrtu-,18 of patrioiism, and the ten
dency w liiili it iias fo rentltred man re-
gurdhjss of every (iangcr, and to make
any sact ifice for the good of his country.
