Written for the Fifieth Anniversary ofthe Inauguration of. General Washington, April 30, 1839. BY WILLIA3 C. BRYANT. Great were the hearts. and strm.sg the minds Of those who framed, in high debate, . The immortal league of love that biuds Oar fairbroad empires, State with State. And ever hallowed be the hour. When, as the anspiciots task was done, In solemntnist, the sword of power Was giv'n to Glory's unspoiled son. That noble race is gone; the suns Of fifty years have dawn'd and set: But the tIright liniks. thse chosen ones So strog ly foazed, are bright ev'n yet. Wide-as our own free race incr.ase Wide shlnl extend the elastic chain, And hold in everlasting pe-ace. State after state, a nighty train. Miscellaneous. THEDAoUFRROTTPE, OR SOLAR E.-4 -oRAVI*o.-Much curiosity has been exci ted ainong our artists and connoiseurs, to ascertain the secret of Daguere's dis-overv It is very common in certain circles. we are told, to notice fingers blackenedl by the nitrate of silver. We believe, Psyet. nom. of our experimenters have been able to re tain the color imparted to the nitrated pa per by thesun's rays. They also find their images inverted. We have heard it .in timated that the F'rencb government are ahout to make arraugemeents with Mr. Daguerre, by which in the course of t wo or three years. the beuefi- of hisi discovery wtill te imtparted fully to the publie. Within this period it is expected that the uvhole matter will be round out in this country ! As usual in suchi cases, the credit of Mr. Daguerre's discovery is claitmed b3 a hs of comipetitors. And im truth there is evi dence that others have anticipated him in some of thte principal features of the art The L.ondon Athenem says. The most curious fact itn relation to this discovery yet remains to he told. It would appiear, considering the character of the - pictures, all hut impossible that imopres.. sions fromn them could lhe tmultiplied aufter the manner of an eneravinc: .31. Daguerre, indeed, stated to as that it was im possible, apd itis but reasonable to believe clhat he is fully informed of the nature and extent of the discoveries as M. Niepee himelf Yet, in 18.37, M. Niepceenot onlh declareet * that it was posaible, but produced speci nae~tiuchtnultiplied copies; and Mr. 35uadas-ifow ii ispsesin not only cpeofengravings ixdpraetyby the action of light, not only seebes from anh ture, butt metalie plates engraved, and en gravings copied front them; ihndhegunder stood anti behieves that no engravmger t180l was used, but that the drawings were fixed by the action of light, and the plates subsequently engraved by a chemical pro coss, discovered- by Mr. Niepee. 2If so, the greatest secret of all rematins yet to be made public, and is, we believe, as un known to Mr. Dagtterre as to others.
