Is there any thing romantic or visionary, in recommending, for similar reasons, the elevation of our country to a high literary celebrity? Let it not be said, my friends, that republican freedom, though compatible with security, with wealth, with physical comfort, is hostile to a high degree of mental cultivation. Let us not allow the enlightened philosophers of Europe, those men in whom all permanent and beneficial reforms must originate, to believe that we have gained the useful only at the expense of the elegant, let our country be distinguished not merely by the intrinsic worth which enables us to give her a high yet unprejudiced preference over all others, but by those lighter charms, which will render her the admiration and the model of foreign nations; with her purity let her unite refinement, let her garments be always white, but let them remain no longer unadorned.

NOTE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We have again been obliged to delay the publication of two of the articles announced in a note at the close of the last number, as also of a review of the Report upon Weights and Measures, by J. Q. Adams, Secretary of State of the United States.'
