AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE,

We rejoice to perceive this great nation
al Anniversary celebrated with more and
more national spirit and patriotic enths. |
asm at every return. it is an occasiola'
cuiated to revive the most greatful red'
lecticns, to produce the most salu.ay reas
tons, and inspire the most animatiug hopes
The event it commentaries was the result
of great national effort. The condut
of America in declaring her Independent
and resolving to defend it, excited thesS
miration of the world. She exhihited th /
great and singular example of a nation, s. |
,erned by the operation OF good principal
and good habits alone without the coerto
aud almost without the existence of law
Then the most exalted, influential, consP.,
cuous and popular men, not only prgfsSs
bur were actually governed by those Prln'ii'
pies of probity, of honor and rigid integriL
ty, and that magnarimous spirit, which
cheertully sacrifices individual interest 10
the general welfare, which are as essential
to the support and continuance, as TO 'ns
establishment of a republican governnsu"
But her moderation and ferbearanee we''
still more singular and more admirable ~,
Resolusely resisting oppression, she 0l'
not wantonly rush into licentiousne'"
She perceived the great distinction between
the salutary restraints, and want0n abuse
Of government and though conteno'ps
warmly against the one, submitted ense.
fully to the controul of the other. bo.w
what good urpose do wenow contenpa'
the bright example of bravery, pa'lsa'''
perseverance, fortitude and moderator

never ceases. They not only operate lu
mediately, in attaining their great oD)s y.
national glory and prosperity, but renG ~,
ly, IN exciting and perpetuating the si t;as
that produced them. In commemorate
the illustrious virtues and achievement, =,
those, who effected and secured the ln ~.
