EA RE Y•FROCEEDINGS IN A NEW TERRITORY : THE FIRST
BA LE.—T he first indication of regular society is generally pub-
lic holidays. The 4th of July, the day of independence; the
22d of Feb.; the birthday of Washington ; the 3d of Jan., the
battle of New Orleans; are so many occasions. Some time
before, a public meeting is convened at a tavern, and a chair-
man and secretary (for every thing is done in form,) are ap-
poiuteckby acclamation. An orator proposes to celebrate the
day, and gives his reasons; afterwards, another moves that there
be a dinner; the proposition is discussed, and is opposed, for
want of a room large enough to contain those. who would deshe
to partake of it. Another proposes a barbecue,—dining in the
open air: this is supported, and carried; another, that a speech
be delivered:. carried also. Somebody proposes a ball; but
there are only three ladies in the town who dance. Had there
been four, apsur&lfy the motion would have passed. The meet-
ing appoints a chairman, and a managing committee, and
separates. The resolutions, duly signed; are inserted in the
newspaper, (for already there is a weekly one,) to the great
satistaetion of the editor-printer, who is short of matter. On
the day appointed, 'the citizens form themselves into a proces-
sion, and proceed. to: the:church, or the tavern, to the court-
house, or to a granary, according to circumstances, and hear a
speech, which is in general sensible and eloquent; for I must
always remind you of the contrast which is found' here between
the man and what surrounds him. From thence the meeting
repairs under the trees, where an ox and some pigs roasted
await them. The expense is defrayed by subscription; and
toasts are given expressive of the political opinions orthe peo-
ple. The following year there are another barbecue, speech,
and ball. - Thetall is also by subscription. This time the court-
house hal; keen . prepared for the purpose • 'the jedge''Skinch is
