THE SONG OF THE FORGE.
Clang, clang,
The massive anvils ring—
Clang, clang,
A hundred hammers swing,
Like the thunder rattle of a Tropic sky
The mighty blows still multiply,
Clang, clang,
Say, brothers of the dusky brow.
What are your strong arms forging now!
Clang, clang,—we forge the coulter now.
The coulter of the kindly plough;
Sweet Mary mother bless our toil;
May its broad furrow still unbind
To genial rains, to sun and wind,
The most benignant soil.
Clang, clang,—our coulter’s course shall be
On many a sweet and sheltered lea,
By many a streamlet’s silver tide,
Amidst the song of morning birds,
Amidst the low of sauntering herds,
Amidst soft breezes which do stray
Through woodbine hedges and sweet May,
Along the green hill’s side.
When regal autumn’s bounteous hand,
With wide-spread glory clothes the land,
When to the valleys from the brow
Of each resplendent slope, is rolled
A ruddy sea of living gold,
We bless, we bless the Plough.
Clang, clang,—again, my mates,what glows
Beneath the hammers’ potent blows.
Clink, clank,—we forge the giant chain,
Which bears the gallant vessel’s strain
Midst stormy winds and adverse tides;
Secured by this, the good ship braves
The rocky roadstead, and the waves
Which thunder on her sides.
Anxious no more, the merchant sees,
The mist drive dark before the breeze,
The storm-cloud on the hill;
Calmly he rests, though far away,
In boisterous climes, his vessels lay,
- Reliant on our skill.
Say, on what sands these links shall sleep,
Fathoms beneath the solemn deep:
By Afric’s pestilential shore,
By many an iceberg, lone and hoar,
By many a palmy western isle,
Basking in Spring’s perpetual smile!
By stormy Labrador.
Say, shall they feel the vessel reel
When to the battery’s deadly peal
The crashing broadside makes reply;
Or, else as at the glorious Nile,
Hold grappling ships, that strive the while,
For death or victory?
•
Hurrah—cling, clang—once more what
glows,
Dark brothers of the forge, beneath
The iron tempest of your blows,
The furnace’s red breath?
Cling, clang,—a burning shower clear
And brilliant, of bright sparks, is poured
Around and up in the dusky air,
As our hammers forge the sword.
The sword!—a name of dread; yet when
Upon the freeman’s thigh ’tis bound,
While for his altar and his hearth,
While for the land that gave him ,birth
The war-drums roll, the trumpets sound,
How sacred is it then!
Whenever for the truth and right
It dashes in the van of fight,
Whether some wild mountain pass.
As that where fell Leonidas;
Or on some sterile plain and stern,
A Marston, or a Bannockburn;
a.. „ — ^..„,1 u__
V/l UUUV40V V I UNU UUlCUIIf, Ml 11^
The Switzer’s Alps, grey Tyrol’s hills;
Or, as when sunk the Armada’s pride,
It gleams above the stormy tide;
Still, still, whene’er the battle-word
Is Liberty, where men do stand
For justice and their native land,
Th^n Heaven bless the sword!”
Terrible warning against keeping bad compa
«y.--Last Saturday evening, Mr. Buckland,
who is employed in the United States’ Armory
at Springfield, Mass., became alarmed at the
absence of a little son, about eleven years old,
and made enquiry of a boy by the name of Elli
ot, with whom he knew him to be in the tiabit of
associating. Elliot said, that when he last saw
him he was on the road to Boston; but knew
nothing On Sunday morning an uncle
of young Buckland, being out near the Boston
road, saw Elliot with a spade in his hand, and
compelled him to go with him to the spot where
he had seen his nephew. They had proceded
about two miles from towm when Mr. Buckland
saw a pistol lying by the side of the road. On
this discovery, Eiliot refused to go any farther.
Strong suspicions were excited, and search be
ing made, little Buckland w*as found under the
stairs of a hop-house at no great distance co
vered up w’ith leaves and almost dead.
He was, however, able to make the following
statement:—He and Elliot, he said, had agreed
to run away to Boston, and started about noon.
They went on out of the village, w’hen they stop
ped to fire at a mark with a pistol w hich Elliott
carried with him. Elliot required him to put
lip the mark, and twice fired so soon that the
ball whistled by him: and being alarmed, he said
he would go home, and started. But Elliot told
him he would shoot him if he did, and treated
him with great haughtiness and severity. One
time Buckland fired the pistol, and it proved
to have been so deeply loaded, that it flew* back
and wounded him in the face. At length, Elli
ot haying loaded the pistol, threw* something
away in the bushes, and ordered Buckland to go
and get it. He w*ent, and w*hen stooping down,
Elliot shot him, the ball passing through his bo
dy, from the top of the left breast to the small of
the back. He fell, and cried to Elliot that he
was killed, and begged him to help him home.
that he might die with his parents. This, Elli
ot iaid he would not do, but that when he was
dead he intended to bury him in the ground.—
After waiting some time and finding he did not
die, Elliot went away, and Buckland succeed
ed in crawling to the spot where he was found;
and it being very cold, covered himself with
leaves as well as he was able. Elliot returned
with a spade, but it had become dark, and he
was unable to find him. On Sunday morning
he returned, and was seen as above stated.—
The night was severely cold, which while it in
creased the suffering of the poor boy, staunched
the flowing of the blood. On Tuesday morning
he was alive, and just able to speak; but in a
very dangerous condition. The parents of both
boys are worthy people, and very deeply afflict
ed.—N. Y. Jour, of Com.
Spanish Treaty.—Mr. Van Ness is the bearer
not only of despatches, but of the Convention
itself. In consequence of the disturbed state of
the northern provinces of Spain, apprehensions
had been entertained for his safety. He was in
fact stopt, it appears, three times between Mad
rid and the French lines, and was only released
on paying the usual tribute on such occasions.
The mail, which immediately preceded him,
was robbed and the passengers were stripped
of even the clothing on their backs. Mr. Van
Ness, on the contrary, although he was asses
sed to the amount of a few doubloons, had the
good fortune in every instance, except one, to
be treated with politeness. He represents the
North of Spain as being almost without any
regular government. The Carlist bands and
the Queen’s troops alternately displace each
other in such rapid succession, that the idea of
authority in the minds of the people has become
nearly obliterated. So distracted, indeed, is
the state of the whole country, as to give rise to
serious doubts whether the Queen’s party will
be able to sustain itself.
New York Evening Post.
We regret to hear of the alarming illness of
Horatio Gates Esq., of Montreal, a merchant of
high character and great personal worth, and
well know’ll by his extensive business relations
in the States, as well as in the Canadas. His
death (w’hich was hourly expected at the date
of our information) will be a severe deprivation
not only to his amiaDie ramuy, dux xo xne cixy,
to the prosperity of which, his enterprize has
greatly contributed, and particularly to the nu
merous visitors from the United States, to whom
his courtesies and civilties have been so liberal
ly extended.—Albany Argus.
Infatuation.—Half the boxes at the Tremont
vesterday, were sold at auction, at an advance
of $236; one box was knocked off to an indi
vidual, whose pocket, it is to be presumed has
not been affected by the removal of the depo
sites, for an advance of $50! This was for the
extraordinary privilege of witnessing the last
appearance of the Kembles. So much lor ** Hard
Times.” But some would indulge their mania
for theatrical exhibitions, if the consequence was
utter ruin to themselves and connexions.

ALEXANDRIA:
FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 18, 1834.
Party Names.—It is probable that the old
English party designations will be generally
adopted and used in this country. Men must
now take their stand for or against Power—for
or against Liberty.
Mr. McDuffie, in his speech, on Tuesday, to
the people of Philadelphia, adverted to the hap
py mergement of all political cognomens into
Whigs and Tories; and Mr. Clay, in the Se
nate, said, speaking of the Whigs in New York:
They have assumed for themselves and bes
towed on their opponents a denomination
which, according to all the analogy of history,
is strictly correct. It deserves to be extended
throughout the whole country. What was the
origin, among our British ancestors, of those ap
pellations? The tories were the supporters of
executive power, of royal prerogative, of the
maxim that the King could do no wrong, of the
detestable doctrines of passive obedience and
non-resistance. The whigs were the champi
ons of liberty, the friends of the people, and the
defenders of the power of their representatives
in the House of Commons.
During our revolutionary war, the tories took
sides with Executive power and prerogative,
and with the King, against liberty and indepen
dence; and the whigs, true to their principles,
contended against royal executive power, and
for freedom and independence.
And what is the present but the same contest
in another form? The partisans of the present
Executive sustain his power in the most bound
less extent. They claim for him all executive
authority. They make his sole will the govern
ing power. Every officer concerned in the ad
ministration,from the highest down,is to conform
to his mandates. Even the public treasury, hith
erto regarded as sacred, and beyond his reach,
is placed by them under his entire direction
and control. The Whigs of the present day are
opposing executive encroachment, and a most
alarming extension of executive power and
prerogative. They are ferreting out the abu
ses and corruptions of an administration, under
a Chief Magistrate who is endeavoring to con
centrate in his own person the whole powers of
Government.
The editor of the Richmond Enquirer is amus
ing the intelligent people of Virginia with de
nunciations, in the “ Cambyses vein,” against
that “fallen monster,” the Bank—and most ear
nest appeals to them to kill the dead! We be
lieve the editor of the Enquirer is merely having
his fun in these warm times; but will not he
laugh on the other side of his mouth, if, per
chance, a Bank bill should be proposed in and
carried through Congress by his own political
party! Nous verrons.
A correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer
writes:
“ A fewr weeks in your city, last winter, has
induced the conclusion that it is now the duty of
every farmer to choose whom he will serve”!
Yes! this is the language of people profess
ing to be freemen! “ Choose whom we will
SERVE.” Why, SERVE Gen. Jackson, to be
sure. No body else asks, or requests, your
SERVICE.
A Jackson print of New York, speaking of
the late disgraceful riots in New York, has the
impudence tauntingly to tell the people of that
city that it is “ not rational or prudent to light
a fire among such combustible materials as the
Irish population there,” who are “ quick and
irritable,” and with “wo particular disinclina
tion to a row.” This is the slang of the dema
gogue in encouragement of outrage and as a
threat to those not disposed to yield to club law.
What says the patriot and the statesman to this
same Irish population? What says Henry Clay?
Countrymen of Tone, of Emmet, of Macne
ven, and of Sampson, if any of you have been
deceived, and seduced into the snnnort nf n i
cause dangerous to American liberty, hasten to
review and correct your course! Do not forget
that you abandoned the green fields of your na
t v-' island to escape what you believed to be the
tyranny of a British King! Do not I adjure you,
lend yourselves, in this land of your asylum,
this last retreat of the freedom of man, to the es
tablishment here, for you. and for us all, of that
despotism which you had proudly hoped had
been left behind you, in Europe, forever! There
is much, I would fain believe, in the constitu
tional forms of government. But at last it is its
parental and beneficient operation that must fix
its character. A government may in form be
free, in practice tyrannical; as it may in form
be despotic, and in practice liberal and free.
We remark that, in the debate in the House
of Representatives on the 9th instant, Colonel
R. M. Johnson described Mr. Adams as “the
worthy and distinguished gentleman from Mas
sachusetts—a gentleman who had presided over
this nation with more honor to the country and
to himself than some of his (the Colonel’s) col
leagues could at that time believe, whatever
might be their sentiments now.” The Colonel
cannot be a Jackson or a Globe-man.
There was pith in the short reply of Mr. O’
Connell in the British House of Commons, to a
speech of Lord Althorp against the Repeal of
the Irish Union. His Lordship ended withex
pressing his inability to comprehend “how a
poor country could suffer by its union with a
rich one.” “The leech swells upon the blood
it sucks,” was the brief comment of O’Connell.
George Winchester, Esq. one of the Jackson
Electors for the City of Baltimore in 1824, has j
renounced his allegiance to the “ Experiment
Party.” It will be recollected that Mr. Winches
ter was one of the earliest, most stedfast and ar
dent friends of General Jackson.
Mr. Speaker Stevenson is said to be highly
incensed with Mr. John Quincy Adams, in con
sequence of the introductory remarks which
the latter gentleman appended to his “ suppress
ed” speech. We advise Mr. Stevenson to write
a reply,—especially if he wants to be. Jonathan
Rttsselled. Mr. Speaker will take the hint.
li Doubtless, any real spoliation of State So
vereignty tends to destroy republicanism,” says
the National Gazette. See, in this, how wil
ling those most opposed to nullification are to
co-operate in defence of the just rights of the
States. There must be but two parties in this
country. All past differences must be merged
and forgotten. “ We are all federalists—we are
all republicans,” said Mr. Jefferson. “ We are
all State Rights men—we are all National Re
publicans,” we say now. The contest must be
between the Liberals and the high prerogative
party. The National Republicans will defend
the rights of the states, and the Nullifiers must
defend the supremacy of the laws and the just
powers of all the branches of the government.
Here is “a coalition” with a vengeance!
Public admiration is freely expressed at the
speech of Mr. McDuffie. We have publish
ed no speech made this session of Congress
which has given such general satisfaction. The
friends of the Administration themselves say
it is a powerful effort of a powerful mind. We
wish sincerely it would work conviction upon
their minds. As it is, we have hopes it has done
good.
--— -
The British Government, in a spirit of liberal
courtesy intend to present to various public Li
braries, and the different Universities in this
country, copies of the Public Records, of which
the cost for each set is about two hundred pounds
sterling, consisting of‘the Statutes of the
Realm,’ ‘ Domesday Book,’ ‘ Rymer’s Collec
tion,’ and other rare and ancient public docu
ments, which, considering our descent, cannot
but be of great value here as consulting books,
i This country is indebted much to Mr. O. Rich,
an agent for the purchase of books in London,
for his participation in this matter; and, in the
act of the British Government, we see with sat
isfaction a liberal and enlightened feeling of
comity towards the United States.
There never was a good thing started in this
country or in Great Britain but some of its fan
atical votaries would run it into the ridiculous.
The temperance cause in both countries has
furnished its full quota ofevidence. We perceive
by an English paper that in Southwark, Lon
don, they have signs hung out, not only of the
11 Temperance Coffee Room,” which will do
very well, but of “ The Temperance Wine and
Brandy Vaults,” and “ Fine Temperance Cor
dial Gin.” Temperance grog shops are a new
idea, says the New York Star.
Pirates.— Capt. Bennett, of ship London
Packet, at New Bedford, spoke March 3, off As
cension Island, the British ship Carlow, from W.
coast of Africa, having on board nineteen pi
rates. On the African coast the Carlow board
ed a suspicious armed vessel, abandoned, which
blew up and killed one of her officers and men.
She is supposed to have been the vessel belong
ing to the pirates, who were taken on shore.—
She is also ascertained to have been the same
which robbed the brig Mexican, of Salem, some
time since, of $25,000 in specie. The pirates
were Portuguese and Spanish.
The town of Marblehead contains 5,000 in
habitants and cannot support a lawyer, the last
one being obliged to emigrate for want of bu
siness. Marblehead has, says the N. Y. Com.,
however in former days furnished some of the
first legal talents in the country. Chief Justice
Sewall and Judge Story were natives of that
place, as was also Vice President Gerry, and
the venerable Dr. Holyoke.
Some of the most desirable property in the
Union is shortly to be disposed of by lottery, un
der the superintendence of trustees appointed by
the late act of the Legislature of Maryland.—
It is the hotel at Ellicotts5 Mills, known as the
Patapsco Hotel, belonging to and now occu
pied by Mr. Andrew M’Laughlin, together with
a number of valuable building lots in the same
village, rich furniture and plate, books, wines,&c.
We find the following severe and cutting re
marks, in reference to Mr. Speaker Stevenson,
in a note from Mr. Tristam Burges, of R. I., to
the Editors of the National Intelligencer, in
which he corrects a notice taken of some of his
remarks by the Reporter for that paper in the
House of Representatives:
“ Should the reporter pretend to excuse these
misrepresentations, by saying that he expected
to have heard the memorial read, and therefore
he omitted any attention to my statement of the
contents of it, I can only say that he had no right
to expect this. It is true all other memorials are
read, as a matter of course, if there be no mo
tion to dispense with the reading. It is also true
that I, after reading myself some parts of this
memorial, did move that the whole be read.—
What then? Had I made no such motion, the
memorial would have been read of course; but
when I had made the motion, it was, as the re
porter very well knows, almost as much a mat
ter of course for Mr. Speaker Stevenson not to
put it to the House. Why else this memorial,
sent by almost 4000 people to Congress, should
be singled out by the Speaker, I do not know.—
I have often felt myself flattered by the manner
in which I have frequently, during this session
been distinguished by him. Had I thought he in
tended to insult the people of Rhode Island, by
refusing the reading of their memorial, I should
not have left him in the quiet enjoyment of his
little malevolence; but when 1 considered the in
sult as intended for me alone, I could not have the
heart to reproach him for doing what his politi
cal condition rendered indispensable. Indeed
gentlemen, who do you know’ of so little preten
sion to having any thing to do, that he would,
for a moment, employ himself in either finding
words or uttering words to rebuke one w'ho has
no patriotism but party, no deity but the leader
of that party, and no heaven but the full assur
ance that he so lives in the confidence of that
leader that he believes no other man on earth
wrould do so much or such service for him!55
Something New.—The Rev. W. S. Balch, of
Claremont, N. H., has in press a volume of Ser
mons, to be of a moral and political character.
m
We find the following in the Boston Merc
tile Journal, It contains sound political ethic*'
“Beauties of Politics—A vote given ntV
polls, in times of high political excitement k*
always to be regarded as the test of a mV ?1
unbiassed political opinions. A thirst for ofti
gratitude to a friend, or in some cases ^Ce»
to creep into a republican government81'1}?01
on the free exercise of the right of
our liberty depends.” J
But alas, in what nation is corruption 1 k» <
open than in this favored republic? Wh ^
i shall we find the hand of the government r ^
j obvious in the business of elections, than in A
rica?
Yankee Notion.—A down-east Editor re
mends that when Gen. Jackson’s figure h
placed on the Constitution, that a bust of \ * S
Kendall be placed on the rudder.
Mr. Calhoun’s speech on the repeal 0f
Force Bill has been reported. We have * l‘‘*
this speech heretofore. The National G ^
says—
The main argument of Mr. Calhoun see.
us to be far-fetched; the causative pan i ' r°
tionable—the deductions are of course ' ^Uts
elusive; but he lias not mistaken the
tion and designs of “ the Government? P??‘
like better Mr. Clay’s commentary. \, , e
are some short passages: ‘ ie**‘4
“ It would be perceived that there wer* .
parts to the bill that the Senator from L ,
Carolina sought to repeal—one was miii?ULi
and temporary, and the other judiciai and r3’
manent; and if it should be thought nrnJ,?T
repeal the first, he doubted the pronrietv J °
pealing the last. For one, he would silv ir
soothed one feeling—if it solaced one AriienV K
heart, in this widely extended republic-f
should have no objection to tfie repeal r f •
j military part of the bill, but &ouid vote for fr
with nleasure: though shrmia 1 1
! repeal of the other. He should have no d rf''
culty, provided the repeal were put on
grounds than those of the triumph of nullified
tion. To that, he never could give his aid
consent. He did not rise for the purpose of • •
king a speech in reply to what had fallen fio,'
the Senator from South Carolina. To many 0'i
that gentleman’s views, he gave his entire'a*
sent; but he must add, that with many othei
he could not agree. At all events, the dimen
sion was not at all profitable at this pecui a
juncture. Sir, we have got, said Mr. Clav a
nullification infinitely more dangerous, not it:
South Carolina, but in Washingtcn whici
threatens destruction to the liberties^the coun
try, by an entire absorbtion of all the powers of
Ihe General Government in the hands of one
man: the nullification of our Southern sister was
bygone. Was this, then, the time for abstruse
propositions and metaphysical discussions? It
would be better to let them sleep, and for gen
tlemen to buckle on their atrmour to meet and
arrest the present and practical danger.” *
“After the compliments paid him (Mr. C.) foi
the part he had felt his duty, to take in the set
tlement ot the tariff question, a measure that
had commanded that Senator’s approbation he
had hoped that that subject would have bee
permitted to remain undisturbed. So far as he
knew the sentiments of the country, and of the
friends with whom he acted, they were willin'*
to abide by the compromise fully, fairly and
faithfully, and not to suffer it to be violated but
to make a fair experiment of its pro vision?"
* * * / . “He trusted that
General Jackson s election would impress the
people with one important truth, which deserv
ed general inculcation, that it is a duty they owe
themselves and their,dearest interests, in theme
lection of a C hief Magistrate, to look well fo
his previous character, conduct, and habits, to
ascertain his principles, to scrutinize his motives
of action, to examine his passions, prejudices
and temper of mind, and to weigh well, in all
respects, the consequences like to ensue from
their choice, and not to decide under the pre.<
| sure of a single grievance, real or imaginary.
Well, success followed (he exertions of the Se
nator from South Carolina, and those with whom
he co-operated, in the elevation of the present
Oijiet Magistrate A nH Vine fnllAirotl?_
YY here are the principles which brought him in
into power? Which of the various parties
who combined to secure his election has not
been disappointed? YVhat are the distnct
principles of this administration? Is it in
favor of the tariff? No. Against it? No. In
favor of internal improvement? Y'cs. Against
them? y es. For nullification? Y es, that
which emanates from Washington. Against
nullification? Yes. that of the State of South
Carolina. Is it for State rights? Ves; look
at the opening message of December 1532, tha*
was a thorough-going States rights’ paper,
strong enough to satisfy the Senator from Sent!
Carolina, or the most ardent of that school. L i’
against States’ rights? Yes; look at the prod a
mation of the next short week; that proclania
tion which, according to the Senator from South
Carolina, had outstripped all the doctrines even
before advanced in this country.”
“ What were his (the President’s) principles
For a bank? No. Against it? No, for lie is hi
favor of forty of them, if they are under his ex
elusive control, and responsible to him alone
YVhen the future historian shall inquire
what were the distinguishing traits, the pic
