Iation. We had no pnblic orator ia comuneno.
rate its bleiiings, but every man experent ed and
expreiird emotions that were due to the occa!i-
ON: We law no NUMEROUS public parties COL
'eet'ng together, toatins the principles of our
revolution, and filling high the maatiing bowl,
IN honour OF our national nativity; but inilea,l
OF theie, we faw the friends of the revolution
attending into fmai!er circles, and enjoying
with greater freedom ".he feaa of reaf,n and
the How of foul" Had a ,ranger been among
us on thar occaion, lie might have concluded
from want OF ponpohs preparation or mag
nincent appearance. that the 4,h of July had
ioh lone or ITS charms asd fome it's excitement
put mad he entered more deeply into the fcene
before him, he would at once have diGovered,
that on no former location have we been more
fervent IN our feelings or more iincere in the en-
preiiion OF them. The 4th of July is certainly
thene, on which the orator might indulge the
oo'deit conceptions of his fancy, and the bard
m'ght iacceistully touch the fneft nerve &c the
io"i; yet he mutt he miferable reafoner in
aeed' who would infer from the want of fiIch
AN exhibition among us, that the 4.h of July
had loft any of its attractions.

The "bafriotie exertions" of the (" Rieb.
'aona c0Uairy" muft command our gratitude
and admiration when they are devoted TO tine
improvement of their own difcipline or the de.
fence or the rate, but they are f.arcely calculated
10 oofain our appreciation, when they were
employed in the competition of fome of the
preceding toaitS. The general completion of
theie toaits IS pure & adapted TO the occaIion
w'ich proiuced them; but the genilis offrderal-
nm ionstimes breaks out, and gives us indicate
ons OF the activity which would have nfpired If
