Sympathy With France

The New York Tribune contains a full report of one of the largest, and most enthusiastic assemblages ever held in that city, at which the Mayor presided, and in which the countries of France, Ireland, England, Germany, Switzerland, Poland and Italy, were represented. To show the spirit of the meeting, we give a short extract from of the speeches delivered upon the occasion, and the song below, which, speaks for itself. There seems to be one general circulation of sympathy through out every vein of our Republic, and it is most appropriate that we, who, in our struggles for independence, had such signal services and sympathy from France - the actual services of some of her noblest sons - should be ready to express with one simultaneous voice, our congratulations. Although she yet has much to do to establish herself in those glorious principles of Liberty, the light which seems to be shining most brilliantly upon her. Mr. Manchester said: A Bourbon no longer reins on the throne of France! Louis Phillippi is no longer King! Th French people have followed the example set by our Fathers of our Revolution, and established a Government like our own, never hereafter to be shaken. Other countries will follow France; Ireland, poor, oppressed Ireland, that beautiful island "first flowers of the earth and first gem of of the sea," will soon be free. England too will follow, and Queen Victoria will be the last to sit on the throne. Man every where begins to understand his rights and to look on his fellow man as his brother, to consider all mankind as one great brotherhood. The poor and the down-trodden begin to look up, and the great family of man is preparing to enter a new era - to run the career of justice. Let us send, our congratulations to the people of France from this emporium of commerce, and say - Brothers of France, run with us the great career of justice? We have before us a sublime and magnificent destiny, let us teach all mankind that they are capable of enjoying what we enjoy, the blessings of free institutions. The following Song, written for the occasion, was sung to a beautiful air, all on the stand joining in the chorus: A Jamais ! Vive la Fracce. BY ALFRED WHEELER. Joy to the land of the clustering vine, To the land of song and dance! Aye shall a fadeless wreath be thine. A jamais! Vive la France! Columbia, with a cordial hand, Salutes thee o'er tho sea, And hails thee as a sister land, Dear France, forever free! Then joy to the land of the clustering vine! To the land of song and dance! Aye shall a fadeless wreath be thine, A jamais! Vive la France! A jamais! Vive la France! No more thou'lt bow to kingly gold! No more a tyrant feel! For the voice of Freeman, firm and bold, Is mightier than steel! The world shall echo with thy praise, Thy fame shall glorious be; And brighter shine in future days Thy star of Liberty, Then joy to the land, &c. Through this fair land each patriot heart With hope and gladness thrills; For the Bird that soars with tireless wing, Has perched upon thy hills! There may he fold his wing, and rest, A guardian to thee! And prove that Heav'n has nobly blessed The Eagle of the Free; Then joy to the land, &c.
