Celebration of the 4tli of July..
Tho most sanguine expectations of Ihd father.? ofthis day have been fully rerUized the sound maxims of governnient, and tho influence pf democratic freedom: distinguish¬ es this (lay as the advent ofan EiM, vvhen general intelligence and nalional virtue elo-« vates hnwniln niiUire, antl fits raan for' the high duties of self government. It should be a dav of gladness—a day of joy—t. da'y ot triumph-andsiit'h it is.-Tlie soldier re¬ calls with pleasure fhe liaiul-fought battles of our independence, the stjatcsman with pride contemplates the umlciileRs wisdom and sta- lulily of ourinstituUons, while religious lihef- ¦ ty and temperance reform, cheers the heurt of the chrislian and gives unbounded hope to philiinthropliy. Such were our feelings on cnieriiig the church ou our laet anniversary to joiu hi the time honored ceremonies of the ,day. And we could not reatrainprido, for our Pown as we beheld the glittering armour of "the-Wee Nee Dragoons and WaaJiingtou Greys, .tnd ihe bright eyes auil pretty luces «l tliel-adies; gathered togetlie' for the one purpuse of recalling the birth of tlieir Inde-
petidouce.
Mr. Samitki. T. Atkinson, the Oraler.ol the day acquiued luiji^iell wiih great credit. His re-iaiirks ow tha^rly Watory ofthe colo¬ nics antl the contemporaneous evente in Europe, showing ttiek tcud«ncy to rejiubli- ^•au freedom in America; cvielericcdftdegree of logiciU ileducljon setdom altaiifed by voulhful doclwraors; his strictureif on tho iourec of ccrtuiu pavties at the north havins? atendetify to meddlo wiUi eoulliern insijAi- tif.ns, were frnught with Course mid political "discerninenE. Ho closed by ou- losri?:iiig the illustrous founders ot the con¬ siituliou. and o^ovcrninenl, deploring the loss of the talented Legare and placing before us the shillingquahiies of JWdj C. Calltnwn, the Ladies torf were no- forgotlon, but their com¬ pliment like 'seed sown in good ground will doubtless yield him an abundant harvest oi' bewitching smiles, which iiis well written ' and eloquent production ftiHy merits.
