But recent important events in Brazil demand my notice at this time.

Within the past fortnight, H. B.

This is all the political news of importance. 1 will write again from the next port, | f an opportunity occurs. Annexed is 4 sketch of the oratioa alluded to , al : “Feliow Americans:—We have assembled to- gecher to celebrate the anniversary of a diy which tion and ignorance lays heavy on the multitude, and when the ‘red rightarm” and the ‘ unsheath- ¢d sword” were almost the only instruments of honor and renown. And is this the idea which America is to fulfil! Is the stroag race that comes up from her streams her mouatains, from the portals of her free institutions, and the cherished soil of her battle fields, only to work out the designs of wealth and territorial grandeur? Is the power of our country to consist only in this? ‘The taith that bore Columbus across the unknown deep, cries out against it. The hopes that its dis- covery kindled in the hearts of the philantropist and the Christian, ery out againstit. The principles that were wrought out in exile and prayer, and sealed with blood, cry out against it. The privi- leges that were obtained by our forefathers, through sacrifice and blood, ery out against it. ** But it requires vigorous exertion to check the tendency of the age. The desire for wealth, for acquisition, a) t present to be the all absorb- ing sentiments; we have examples of it in the thou- sands who have left their homes, to try their for- tunes in the gold nunes of our newly acquired ter- Titory; and there are quite a number of that class present. We have constructed railroads, canal and bridges, and steamers, and reared towas cities, and forges and mills, and looms, and stretch- ed the telegraphic wires from Maine to Louisiana, but how few, in comparison to these, are our mo pnuments of intellectual and moral greatuess! Bu even if they are equal to these, ought we not t» be superior ? As I have said before, there isa capa city in our country for progress. Let us stand, thea as though we were pliced on watch towers. Le us look abroad, upon this goodly heritage, and see what we can do forit. While thrones are totter ing, and hoary dynasties are crum! + away while a voice is rising in the dungeons and palace of despotism—a voice of retribution and revenge while there humanity, just leaping from its boad- age, has made a weapon of its broken chains, to smite and to destroy, let it be said of America, that, in the clear, calm, light of freedom, she is growing in strength and beauty, shedding abroad upon the race immortal blessings. Let not those who seek their own interests more than their coun- try’s, undermine the foundations upon which our chenshed institutions are built; but let us labor that they may increase in greatness, until the world shall be profited by the influence which they exert; and let us labor to thwart the designs of those who would sever the bonds which unite ua in one common cause. Let our motto be—*Our country and her welfare.” ‘The above is a part of the address. It breathes the same spirit throughout; but is too long to copy in full, as it occupies some six sheets of foolscap paper. Ia conclusion, the orator said—** And, by the blessing of God, may that country itself be- come a vast and sy did monument, not of op- pression aud terror, but of wisdom, and peace, and fiberty, upon which the world may gaze with ad~ miratioa for ever.” Fexgion goes, four in bslinst, nine Californians, and two steamers, Imports from ited States—8.002 bbis. flour, 10 ek. domestics, 1,002 bbls resin, 350 kegs lard, 600 ais, and sundries.
