THE spncrnu WARRIOR-
\ On the night previous to tire battle of Lex-
ington 3 srrrrrrgervwarrior, intruntep on a spir-
ited charged, rode‘ furiously thro the streets
of some of tlte principal townsin the vrciinty
of Boston, giving the intelligence that the

British troops had left that city on their march .

to Concord. He waited for no Salutations-—
no one iineiv lritrt——but he gave the alarm
and pa‘ss“ed on.‘ Front the circumstance of the
alarm being’ given in‘ such _wi'tle and various
directions, at the saute time, in the saute sitt-

Agular manner, and by appatetitly the same

‘person--'—'it was looked upon by many as art
i\tterpositionof Providence in behalf of the
colonists." Suchat least was the tradition ;-—
antlglotig-.’was' the spectre’ warrior retnembered
wheli the scenes of ’76 were recounted by the
winter’s fire-side.

Heardyou not that war-horse trampling!
Heard you not that iron tread !

When the earth and skies are darkling——
Sounds like these might rouse the dead l
Hark! that shout, it swells to lieaven,
‘Lotitl as pealiitg lhunders roar ;

When the mountain oak is ri_veti—-
’I‘irese the thrilling sounds it bore--—

Rouse, ye sluutberers! sleep no longer,
Foemen’s feet are on tlteir way :-I
Walie to glory, wake to danger,

Glad you to the bloody fray.

Ever. now their bayonets glancing,
lllock toe shroud ofniurky night ;
Hark! the squadrons proudly prancing,

Guides the ‘hero to the fight ! .

Slurnberers, wake! away to battle-
‘Ncrve your heart, and nerve your arm,
Hear you not the war-drums rattle?
Hear yoti not the dread alarm ?—

ait you till your wives and daughters
Vicrirns fall before your eye?
Till your towering.spircs—your altars,
Low in smoking ruitts lie?

Sleep you when red ruin lowers

1;)’e.r your friends, your hearllis, your home?
is there one whose spirit cowers?

Bid the wretch in slavery ream '3

Sleep no longer, grasp your weapon 3
‘Pledge at Freedom’s shrine your life l
Bathe with blood the grotind you meet on,’
Triumph waits the glorious strife!

Sleep you when the chains are clanking,
Which opprcssors forge for you P "
‘When the tyranI’s hate is rankling——
Hate which pardon never kttew -l
See-—whete yonder clouds are breaking,
Star-lit banners wave on high!

1t‘ollow them, and proudly waking,
Fteenien live, or conquerors diel

Sleep no longer,-wake to glory 2

Bid the haughty foe come on ;

Teach him Freedom’s soil it gory,
Strike the blow at Lexington.

Strike as patriots bortt for freedom-—
Men tvho’ve sworn they will be free~—
Burst the servile chains that wreath you;
Strike for Godl for Liberty! '

By your sires’ unconquer’d spirit!

By the green .turfo’er their graves l.

Bytthe rights you here inlierit—-

Swear to never live as slaves! [way-

OWENISM.-—A friend has ptit into our
liaiids the “ New Harmony Gazette,” which
contains Mi. Oiven’s Declaration of Menlal
Intltepeitdctice, mentioned on Friday in our
coltiinus in this truly preposterous compo-
sition, it is, in fact, declared and taught. that
there is no God; that all religion, so called,
should be discarded as miserable and perni-
cious stiperstition; and that the iiisiitutioii of
titarriage should be abolished in the broadest
sense oftlte word-—

“ Curse oit all laws but those which Love
has made.”

'I"l:e_ reproach of fllheism is so heavy ,that
we sltotild never consent to cast it, if we did
not clearly understand the profession of that
licriious infidelity to be ttteant at least, it here
it is not directly made. Mr. Owen doesiiot
acknowledge, in his grand exposition ofprin-
cjples, the existence of a Supreme Being;—
ttliich he certainly or necessarily would ltave

done, if he had riot-intended to convey the

idea ofitteredttlity;and furtlter what he wish-
ed to be received as his opinion on tile subject
is not to be mistaken, when the import ofthe

' followiiigpart ofthe text is rightly considered.

“ Supcrsmiori fotccd man to believe, or say
he belretvetl, that is Being existed who possessed
all» ~,.ouer, wisdom and goodiiess—tliat he
could do and that he ditl every tlting—and
yet that evil and miserysuperabotind; and
that tl-iisBeing,who makes and does all things,
is not the direct’or iiidirect author of evil or
misery Sttchiis the foundation on which all
the miseries and ravin-gs of superstition are
erected, in all parts of the world.” '

A cotiirnuitity proclaitned to frest on Athe-
ism aittl Libertinism, canrict fail to be vie
with mingled horror and pity, bya peopyaf h
cl:iirn,, and we trust will long riierit,:i,l_“f T f
of “ moral and religious.” From this,’iiiititiri:i5:",
Stance, and from its very ‘nature, it _irttl':ftl.'l'i'e‘l_
fog-itivegor perishable. ‘It may for a tint'e,ar.
tract dupes, visionaries and adventurers; but
they cannot long co-here; and its Principles,
so tiiistermed, will, oftlieritselves, surely work
general discord and ruin, leaving its transito.
ty and turbulent existence. an instructive me-
morial of anomalous presumption’ and folly.
These consideratiutts-if none other we're -in
our way--would prevent us from undertaking
to pourtray its entire character, and dwelling
on the sentiments with which its coiiiposition
and predominant maxiins deserve to be view"-
ed. Our immediate, special object is, to no.
{ice the claim ol'or~£ginulily antl novelty which
In r. Owen prefers for his Declaration, wi_li a
self-complacency so vain-glorious that we
should be provoked to laughter, but for the
sltocliing complexion and tettdeiicy ofhis doc‘
titties.

“Iltave read 16 you, my friends, (he says
in his.address,) thus publicly,prirtciples, that
no one has ever ventured to declare in public,
’-“ if I consider this the most important era of
nty,life—- ** I have calmly and deliberately
tleierntined, upon this eventful and auspicious
occasion, to break asunder the remaining
inertial bonds, which for so rriany ages have

gyievoiisly affl.it;.teg1 our-‘nature, "and by so do.-

There is mticli more ofthis kind of flourish.
The oracle of Harmony spoke in a blaze Of
illtiiitination. He is the real new ligltt-—,;firsl
true teacher and tlelivererofthe world ! . I.-Ie
held it idle for us in Philadelphia, to build
tnore houses ; for, his system was soon to de-
populatethe city ol Peon, an'_d ‘draw us all 10
his focus of knowledge and bliss in the West-
ern wilderness : he now thinks, that he has
“given the death blow” to the tyranny of re-
ligiori and to all sortsofdespotism throughout
the Universe, and taken measures, “.Wll.lcll
may not improperly be termed the beginning
of the Milleniuin.” As he is a man ofmattire
age, and has read and heard riiuch ol the his-
tory of the world, it is scarcely cr,edi_bl_e that
he should deem his declaration to be original.
Ifthere be any thing old, since the fall of tnati,
it is irhat ‘t the fo_ol said in hisbeart”-—lhere
is no God. This blasphemy was not confined
tn the heart ; ‘but was antiounced, truiiipeted,
in the earliest periods of pagan life: so, like-
‘wise, with regard to the reprobation of mar-
riage, and a.l forms of religious belief and
worsltip. There are no topics of human ar-
rogance’ and absttrdity more ancient and true.
Whoever opens Baylie’s Dictionary, willfimi
abundant proof oftltis assertion. , They were
revived in the riiost solemn, systelnallcg alld
destructive mantier, in the French Revolu-
tion: it was against a moliocracy, avowedly
founded on Atheism and Divorce, that Burke
wrote his splendid philippics ; and the osten-
tatious Philosopher of Harmony has done lit-
tle more than repeat the Declaration made at
Paris, wltetia prostitute was installed oti the
Altar, and worshipped as the Representative
of the Goddess of Reason, the only genuine
Divittily. Those who were familiar with the
literature of the closing years ofthe last, and
the beginning of the present century, mttst re-
collect how often and in what a variety of
modes the principles which Mr. Owen pre-
tends to have ‘first, proclaimed, were publicly
asserted, refitted, and burlesqued. We shall
proceed to quote some rernarks of Mr. Can-
ning, ntade in the course of a debate wliicli
took place in the British House ofCormnoris,
in N32], on a rnotionto refer Mr. Otven’s plan
to it cotnutittce. "
“ Mr. Owen had strongly urged him to ‘:-
tend an exposition of his system; and lie(.\Ir.
G.) having given his wortl that he would at

_ tend, felt it necessary now to say, that after-

the most impartial coitsideratioit of the sub-
jvcl, he must decide against the irtotion.-—
l.t‘:rst,tlte.general application of the ‘plan, as
had been well observed by an honourable
iiietiilicr, would lead to the coriiplete destruc-
tion ofindividuality, and to the amalgamation
of the population lIll0 masses, whicli was to.
tally repugnant to the priticiplesofhurtiatt na-
ture. and above all. to the genius of the peo-
ple of Great Britain. The inference which

- was drawn from the excellent iitanagematit of

Mr. Owen’s establislttnentat Lanarli, that it
would be successful when acted upon on it
more extended scale, was in his opinion, per-
fectly fallacious. Individuals must be con-
gregated together upon Sottie known and in-
telligible principle: It was a known principle
which cottuecled tenants with landlords, and
workmen with tnaiitifacturers. But on what
principle thousands ofpersoiis could be congre-
gated together in Mt. O.’s establisltiiients, he
could not conceive. [fa number of individ-
uals should unite together as volunteers, sup-
posing all the difiitzultics opposed to such art
undertaking by parochial regulations bcotlter
circumstances to be overconie, there was no-
thing to prevent the society, which, as it had
commenced in delusion might ettd in disap-
pointment, from becoming the seat of the
.worst of passions. He wished also to state,
and he hoped he might do so witltout incur--
ring I‘ the charge of bigotry, that the
House ought to pause before it proceeded to
set the example of a conimuuity existing in
Christendom, in vvhicli there would be no re-
ligion. There had always existed an estab-
lished religion, in heathen as well as christian
countries ; and though he was not a triait who
would impose penalties on persons for dis-
setiting from national‘ religion, yet he thought
it rmproperthatParliarneitt should be called
upon to adopt all the peculiarities of an indi-
vidual on such an intp)rt:intsubject.”
