FKLLOW-CmzENB-It is at the season when nature hath assumed her loveliest apparel that the American people as semble in their several temples to cele brato the birthday of their nation,. Ar rayed in all the beauties of the year, the four ui or July once more visits, us. Green fields and a ripening harvest pro claim it, a bright sun cheers it, and the hearts or freemen bid it welcome. Illus trious spectacle!, -Six millions of peo ple this day surround their altars, and unite: in' am address to Heaven for the preservation of their rights. !, Every rank and every acre imbibes the eoneral Upirit. From the lisping inhabitant of tne craaie to ttie - aged warrior whose gray hairs are fast sink in e in the west ern horizon of life," every voice is this day turned to the accents 6f Liberty! WASHINGTON! MY COUNTRY! Festivals established bv the' world nave been numerous. . The coronation of a king, the birth of a prince, the marriage of a princess, have often called wondering crowds together. ; Cities and nations agree- to celebrate the event which raises one mortal man above their heads, and boingg called men stand astonished and aghast while the pas- eantrv of a monarch or f hn InarulaH grandeffr of a queen noses before them. Such a festival; however, aa the Fourth of July is to America, is not found in history a festival designed for solemn reflection on the great events that have happened to us; a festival in whioh freeoom receives a nation's homaee. ana Heaven is greeted with incense from ten thousand hearts. In the present situation of our coun try it is, my respected fellow-citizens. matter of high joy and congratulation tnat tnero is one day in the rear on wnicn men or (linerent principles and different opinions can associate together; 1 he fourth of July is not an occasion to compass sea and land to., make prose lytes, i ne good . sense and . the good nature which yet remain among us will. we trust, prevail on this dar. and be sufficient to cnain, at least for a season, that untamed monster, Party Spirit and would to God that it mitrht be chained forever, that, as we have bni one interest, we; might have but one heart and one mind! You hare hitherto, fellow-citizens, on occasions of this kind, been entertained with the: discussion of national Ques tions; with inquiries into the true prin ciples of government; with recapitula tions or the wan with speculations on the causes of our Revolution, and on its consequences to ourselves . and to the world. Leaving these subjects, it shall be the ambition of the speaker of this day to present such a view of your Uon stitution and your' Union as shall con vince you that you. have nothing to hope irom a onange. ,.!,.,.,,. ' This ace has been correctly dtmom inated an age of experiment. Innova tion is the idol of the times. The hu man mind seems to have-burst its ancient limits, and to be traveling over the face of the material and intellectual - - . - . . . m ' . m i creHMun m iean;n pi improvement, ma world hath become like a hckle lover, in whom every new face inspires a new passion.' ' In this rage for novelty many things are made better and many things are made worse. Old errors are dis carded and new errors are V embraced. Governments feel the same effects from this spirit as everything, else; ' Some, like our own, grow into beauty and ex eellence, -while others sink 'still deeper into deformity and; wretchedness. The experience of all ages will bear us out in saying that, alterations or political eyatems are 'always attended with a greater or less degree of danger. ' They ought, therefore,, never , to be under taken, unless ine evil compiainea or oe reatiy feic and tne prospect or a remedy clearly seen. The politician that under takes to improve a Constitution with at little th6ught as a" farmer sets about mending his: plow is no master of his trsde, : If that Constitution: be a sys tematic one,: if it be a free obo, its parts are so necessarily . connected that an alteration in one will work an altera tion,ittall:iand' thl oobbler, however pure and honest his intentions, will, in the' end: find' that what came to his hands a fair and lovely fabric goes from them a miserable piece of pat,cihwork. ; " nor are great and striking alterations alone to be shunned. A succession of small changes,,: ft. perpetual,' tampering with minute batta', sWal , away . the breath though they leave the body; for it is true that a govornment may lose all its real character", jt genius., and its temper, without losing 'its appearance. You mav1 have a: despotism 'under the name, of a republic, , .You may look on a government and . see it ' possess' all- the external' essential' modes: of freedom, and yet see nothing or the essence, the vitality, ot freedom- in-it? just as you, may behold .Washington or Franklin in wax-works the form is perfect, but the spirit' the life, is ftot there' ( fTne flist thing to be said in favor of our system of government is that it is truly and genuinely free; and the man has a base and slavish heart that will call any government good that is not ree.' If there be, at this day, any ad vocate for arbitrary power, . we wish him the, happiness of living under a government of hia choice. If -he is in love with chains, re would not deny him the gratification 'of ; his passion. Despotism is the point where every thing bad centers and front which every thinir eood departs. As fart as a gov ernment, is distant from this point, so far it is good ; in proportion as it , ap proaches toward this, in the samo pro portion ib is, detestable. In all1 Other forms there is somathing tolerable to be found; in despotism there is nothing. Other Systems have i some amiable .fea tures, Some right ' principles, mingled with their errors; despotism is all error. It is a dark 'and cheerless void, over which the eye wanders in vain in search of anything lovely or attractive. .-. t The true dcanmon oi despotism is government without j law. " It . may exist, therefore, in the hands of many as well as of one, Rebellions are des potisms; factions are despotisms; leoss democracies are despotisms. These are a thousand times mora, dreadful than the concentration of all; power in the hands of a single tyrant. . The despot ism of one man is like the thunderbolt, which falls here and there," scorching and consuming the individual on whom it lights; but popular commotion, the despotism of a mob, is an earthquake, which in one moment swallows up everything. It is the excellence of our government that it is placed ia a proper medium between these two extremes, that it is equally distant front' mobs and from thrones. t , : In the next place, our government is good because It is practical. It ia not the sick offspring of closet philosophy. it uiu not rise, vaporous and evan- esoent, from the brains of Rousseau and Godwin, like a mist from the ocean. It is the production of men of business, of experience, and of wisdom. It is suited to what man is, and what it ia in the power of good laws to make him. Its object the just object of 'all. govern ments is to secure and protect' the weak againBt the strong, to unite the force of the whole community against tne violence or oppression. , Its power is the power of the nation; its will is the will of the people. It ia not an awkward, unshapely machine which the people cannot use when they have made it, nor is it so dark and compli cated that it is the labor of one's life to investigate and understand it. All are capable of comprehending its principles ana its operations, it admits, too, of a change of men and measures. At the will of a majority we have seen the government of the nation pass from the hands of one description of men into those of- another. Of the comparative merits of those different men. of their nonesty, their talents, their partriotism. we nave here nothing to say.. That subject we leave to be decided before the impartial tribunal of oosteritv, The fact of a change of rulers, however, proves that the government is i ageable, that it can in all oases be made to comply with the public wirl. It is, too, an equal government. It rejects principalities and; powers. It de molishes all the artificial distinctions whioh pride and ambition create. It is encumbered with no lazy load of her editary aristocracy. It clothes- no one with the attributes of uod; it sinks no one to a level with brutes; yet it ad mits those distinctions in society which are natural and necessary. . The correct expression of our Bill of Rights ia that men are born equal. It then rests with themselves to maintain their equality by their worth. The illustrious f ramers of our system, in all the sternness of republicanism, rejected all nobility but the nobility of talents, all the majority uui uie majority ui Tinue. , -. Lastly, the government is one of our choice; not dictated to us by an imperi ous Chief Consul, like the governments of Holland and Switzerland ; not taught us by philosophers, nor graciously brought to us on the bayonets of our magnanimous sister republic on the other side the ocean. It was framed by our latners ror tnemseives and for their children. Far the greater 'portion of manaina submit to usurped authority, and pay humble obedience to self' created law-givers; not that obedience of the heart whioh a good citizen will yield to good laws, but the obedience which a harnessed horse J- pavs his driver, an obedienoe begotton by cor reotion and stripes r. . ; i, he -American Constitution is the pur chase of American valor. It is the rich prize that rewards' the toil bf elarht years or war ana ot blood; and what is au tne pomp or military glory, what are victories,: what are armies subdued. fleets captured, colors taken,, unless they end in the establishment of wise laws and national happiness V ' Our Revolution is not more renowned for the brilliancy of. its scenes than for the benefit of its consequences; The Opnf stitntion is. the great memorial of the deeds of our ancestors. On the pillars and on the arches of that dome their names are written and their achieve ments recorded. While, v that i lasts, while a single page or a single article can bet found, it will carry , down, the reoora so luture ages, it wm teaon mankind thaif glory empty tinkling glory was not the object for whioh Americans fought, xtroat'taltaiu had carried the fame of her arms far and wide. She had humbled France and Spaing she had reached her arm across the Eastern Continent, and given, laws OB-; the banks of the Ganges.-- A few scattered colonists- did not rise up to contend with ruoh a nation for mere renown.' . They had a noblerebject, and hi pursuit of that object they manifested a courage,, constancy, and . union' that deserve to be celebrated by poets and historians while language lasts. Zas ' . The valor of America was not a Iran-, Bient, glimmering ray shot forth from the impulse of momentary-resentment. , Against unjust and arbitrary laws jrhe rose s with determined," i unalterable spirit. Like the rising sun, clouds and mists hung around her, but her course, like his, brightened as she proceeded. Valor, however, displayed ia combat1, is a less remarkable trait in the ehasae- ter of our countrymen than the wisdom manifested when the oombat was over. All countries and all ages produce war riors, but rare are the instances in which men sit down coolly at the close of their labors : to ' enjoy the: fruits of them. Having destroyed one despot ism, nations generally create, another; having rejected 1 the dominion of one tyrant, thoy make another, for them; selves. ' England beheaded her -Charles' but crowned, hor Cromwell, France, guillotined her Louises, but obeys her Bonapartes. Thanks to God, neither foreign ncr domestic' usurpation flour ishes on our soil. - - V- -- Having thus, fellow-citizenS, ' sur veyed the principal features of onr ex cellent Constitution, and paid an inad- eauate tmbute to the wisdom wnicn produced it, let us consider" seriously the means of its preservation. To-per-1 .. ; '..... ' - ' petuate the government we mast cherish the love of it. V One chief pillar, in the republican fabrio Is the spirit pf patriot ism.' Bat patriotism hath,1' In jthese days, become a rood deal Questionable. It hath been so often counterfeited that even the genuine epin, doth not ' pass without suspicion. JJT one proclaims himself a patriot this uncharitable, mis judgiBg world is pretty likely to set him down for a knave, and it ia pretty likely to be right m this- opinion The rage for being; patriots hath really so much of the ridiculous in it that it is difficult to' treat it seriously.. The preaching of politics hath become a trade, and there are many who leave all other trades to Joilow iw Benevolent, disinterested men I, With Scriptural devotion they forsake houses and lands, father and mother, wife and children, and wander up and down the commu nity to teach mankind that their rulers Oppress them I.. About the time when it was fashionable in France, to cut off, men's., heads, as we lop away super-' fluous sprouts from our apple-trees, the public attention was excited by a cer tain monkey that had been taught to act the part of a patriot to great perfec tion., if you pointed at him, says the historian, and called him an aristocrat or a monarchist, he would fly at you with great rage and violence; but if you would do htm the justice to call him a good patriot, he manifested every mark of joy and satisfaction ' But; though the whole French nation gazed at this animal as a miracle, he was, after all, no very ttrange.Bight. There are, in all countries, a great many monkeys who wish to bethought patriots, and a great many others who believe them such. But because we are often - deceived by appearances,' let us not believe that the reality does not exist. If our faith is ever shaken, if the crowd of hypocriti cal demagogues' lead us to doubt, we will remember Washington and be con vinced; we wll east our eyes around us on those who have toiled and fought and bled for their country, and wo will be persuaded that tfcere ia such a thing as real patriotism,' and that it is one of the purest and" noblest sentiments that can warm the heart of man. To preserve the government we must also preserve! a correct and energetic tone of morals. After all that can be said, the truth is that liberty consists more in the habits of the people than in anything else. Wit en the public mind becomes vitiated aad depraved, every attempt to preserve it is vain. Laws are then, a nullity, and constitutions waste paper.' There, are always men wicked enough- to go any lengths in the pursuit of power if they can find others wicked enough to1 support them.' They regard not paper and parchment. Can you stop the progress of a usurper by opposing to him the laws of his country V then - you . : may- check - the careering win da or star the lightning with a song. No... Ambitious men mast be restrained by the publio morality; when they rise up to do evil theySnust find themselves standing alone. Morality reBts on re ligion. If you 'destroy the foundation, the superstructure' must fall.'

Tortured and distracted beneath the lash of ser vitude, we have seen' them rise up in indignation to assertthe rights of human nature; but, deoeivedv&v hypocrites. cajoled by demagogues, nnned by false patriots, overpowered by a resistless mixed multitude of knaves and Cools. we have wept at the wretched em all their labors. Tossed for ten years in the crazy dreams of revolutionary liberty, we have seen them at. last awake, and, like the slave who slum bers on bis oar and dreams of the hap piness of his own blessed home, they awake to find themselves still in bond age. Let it not be thought that we ad vert to other nations to triumph in their sufferings or mock at their calamities, Would to Ood the whole earth enjoyed pured ana national liberty, that every realm that the human eye surveys or the human loot treads were free! wher ever men soberly and prudently engage in tne pursuit of this object, our prayers in their behalf shall ascend unto the heavens and unto the ear of Him who filleth them. Be they powerful or be they weak, in such a case they deserve success. Yes, "The poorest being that crawls ' on earth, contending to save itself from injustice and oppression, is an object respectable in the eyes of Uod and man." Our purpose is only to draw lessons of prudence from the im prudence of others, to argue the neces sity of virtue from the consequences of their vices. Unhappy Europe! the judgment of God rests hard upon thee. , Thy suffer ings would deserve an angel's pity, if an angel's tears could wash away thy crimes! The Eastern Continent seems trembling on the brink of some great catastrophe. Convulsions shake and terrors alarm it. Ancient systems are falling; works reared by ages are crumbling into atoms. Let us humbly implore Heaven that the wide-spreading desolation may never reach the shores of our native land, but let us devoutly make up our minds to do our duty in events that may happen to us. Let us cherish genuine patriotism. In that there ia a sort of inspiration that gives strength and energy almost more than human. When the mind is attached to a great object, it grows to the magnitude of its undertaking. A true patriot, with his eye and his heart on the honor and happiness of his country, hath an eleva tion of soul that lifts him above the rank of ordinary men. To common occurrences he is indifferent. Personal considerations dwindle into nothing, in comparison with his high sense of pub lic duty. In all the vicissitudes of for tune he leans with pleasure on the pro tection of Providence and on the dignity and composure of his own mind. While his country enjoys peace he rejoices and is thankful; and if it be in the counsel to Heaven to send .the storm and the tempest, his bosom proudly swells against the rage that assaults it. Above fear, above danger, he feels that the last end which can happen to any man never comes too soon if he falls in defense of tne laws ana liberties of hu country. . The Arretted Women. , ' Sheriff Grantham, of Wayne, came down laBt night, and takes one of the women, Eliza Williams, back to Golds boro this morning. The case as we gathered from him is that Mr. Martin Pate and Miss Seymour, who live about six miles from uoldsboro, were in town, the latter having $261.00 mostly in gold securely placed in a satchel on her person, which she lost on the street. Eliza, daughter of the one now in ar rest, found the package, which she took to her mother, and gavo her 8173.00, roitaining, , possession of the balance. The elder Eliza gave Fannie Hill a twenty-dollar piece to buy herself an ulster, . which she did. at the store of Mr Summerfield, aad they then con cluded to take the train for New Berne, leaving young Elisa with her portion of the funds in Goldsboro. 1 .The search for the money by the losers brought to light the fact Of this Woman having the gold 'pieces and put the authorities Oh their track which led to the arrest here and, from Eliza the Information was obtained : .that , her daughter in Goldsboro had some of the money and she. was also arrested and turned, over $42, thus leaving a balance of. over forty dollars yet to hear from ; The,, woman Faunie was discharged and, Eliza is carried up to have a full investigation, which, it is hoped, may result in the recovery of the remainder, or at least a portion of it.
