It is somewhat remarkable that the anniversary days of American independence and French liberty should occur in the same months. The Americans who were at Paris on the 4th July, met at the house of the respectable citizen Livingston, minister from the United States, and who is one of the true founders of the American Republic. Many appropriate toasts were given and songs sung on this occasion. Thomas Paine, whose profound work on the "Rights of Man" will survive all revolutions, composed a lyric song, the first strophe of which served as the chorus, and is as follows.
"Salut, republique, seconde!
Columb a aii le trident,
Qui donna le repos au monde,
Tous es dieux a l'humanite,
Plus grand que tous les dieux de Pline et du Tibre.
Vive ma republique, a jamais grande et libre,
Cette terre d'amour et de la liberte!"
