The YeomGn.-The man who stands upon his own soil; who feels, that by the laws of the land in which he lives-by tho laws of civilized nations-he is the rightful and ex. elusive owner of the land which he tillS, is by the constitution of our nature, under . wholesome influence, mot easily imbibcd from any other source. lie feels-other things being equal-more strongly than another, the character of man as lord of the inanimate world. Of great and wonderful sphere, which, fashioned by the hand of God, and upheld by his power. is rolling through the heavens portion of his-his, from the cen 1 ire to the sky. It is space, on which tho ge- | neration before him moved in it's round of duties; and he feels himself connected by a visible link, with those who preceded him, 1 and to whom he is to transmit home. Per. haps his farm has como down to him from his fathers. They have gone to their last | home; but he can trace their footsteps over the daily scene of his labors. The roof which shelters him, was reared by those to whom he owes his being. Somc interesting domestic is connected with every enclosure. The favorite fruit tree was planted by his fathers hand. He sported in his boyhood, by the side of the brook, which still winds through his meadow. Through that field, lies the path to the village school of his ear- Hest days. He still hears from his window the voice of the Sabbath bell, which called his father and his torefathers to the house of God; and near at hand is the spot where he laid his parents down to rest, and where he trusts, when the hour is come, to be dntifnl!y laid by his children. These are the feelings l of the owner of the soll. Worlds cannot paint then--they flow out of the deepest fountains ofthe heart they are the lifespfinS of Q fresh, healthy and generous national character.
