4th Of lilly Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, July s, 1910

THE anniversary of Independence
has been celebrated with the usual dis
tinguished honors. Statutes were fl
red and an Grafton was delivered in
the presence Of the President of the U.
S. Heads Of Departments, Gen. MI
xinson, Gov. Claiborne, &c. by Mr.. Ro-
bert Polk.
About noon the spacious rooms of
the President were opened to large
and brilliant assemblage of both sexes,
who partook of liberal refreshment
provided.
The Heads of Departments, the
Russian Minister, Gov. Claiborne, Gen.
Wilkinson, and numerous company,
dined at Longs hotel, Robert Brent,
Esq. presiding. The toasts on this &C
casion were loyal and courtly.-The
Russian Monarch was complimented
by his French title, " the philanthropic
Emperor of the North. Count Pah-
len gave" Perpetual friendship between
the United States and Russia.
The democrats dined at Lindsay's
hotel. DIR. ]. NJ. BLAKE presided, and
had PATRICK MAGRUDER, ESQ. for
his Vice-President. We find also by
the volunteer toasts inserted in the IN
telhgenccr, that of these celebrators
were Doctor BLAKE, Doctor CUNNING.
HAM, Doctor BARLOW, Doctor GREEN
FIELD, Doctor DINsMoRE But it is
not from this circumstance alone we
may CONJECTURE that something sore at.
tended the democratic celebration in
Washington. 1t had been intimated be-
fore and we find many SYMPTOMS oft
IN the ioasts. Take, for example,
these" The Sovereign People--May
they learn to discriminate between real
merit and specious artifce.' What
have the People yet TO leGrn this -
Again." Our Publick Functionaries-
May they never feel power and forget
right" A stroke at the heads OF de-
parrments-Again, I" The President OF
the United States, may he retain the
confidence OF his REAL constituents .
What, IS the President In danger thus
early OF losing democratick confidence
But these symptoms are still stronger in
the volUnteers.-We there find fire.

Lest it might be considered by
some, that by giving place to the fore
going toast, we approve of the senti-
ment it contains, we would remark that
it is neither true In spirit nor in fact
and we regret that toast SO obnoxious
should be applied to man who for IS
years has been faithful servant of his
country.-Col. PICKERING was the
friend, companion, and fellow-laborer
of the immortal WASHINGTON in the
establishment of that independence s
those civil institutions which are a Just
cause for JOY and congratulation on the
4th of 'nly. The ingratitude of Re-
publics IS proyeibial, and the manner
In which Col. P. has long been treated
by the country in whose service he has
grown gray, proves the fact. Boys
and those whose whole stock of knoWl-
edge is derived from a democratic
newspaper, may be excused but those
who have any pretension to general in
formation, know, that Col. PICKERING
has uniformly supported the character
OF an able officer, and Of faithful and
enlightened statesman that he is nei-
Their dismissed, nor will his term of
Senator OF the Y. 5. expire till next
year.-ED. GAzE7Tk.

to the French.
We further learn, that the Seven
Canary Islands were immediateIy n
be placed under the Vice Royalty Of
the Duke del Parque, who, with
number of troops, were hourly expec.

II is further stated, by our informant
that SO much were the inhabitants H.
censed against the French prisoners 1t
Port Batavia, and the upper town. that
they had embodied and threatened 10
massacre all they could find and thai
two respectable French inhabitants q
the place had been put to death BY the
populace. About 100 Of the regular
troops came over from St. Croix and
4nslled the rioters.

drink them. AT celebration party in

Enc rack On INC taSorlte Topic O fmpreSS1n&
seamen /; bat some how. or other, nothing
good has grown out Of i. Il Is probable,
inded, il Mr.. Jefferson had ,eondescended
to accept Mr.. jays treaty, when the Bri.
fish offered 70 renew it, we should have
been on a. good ground. at least, as we
were under general Washington. Blu. as
ne did not, but ON the contrary, .efussd, as
long az he was in Office, TO make any trsa-
ty with the. British government, our affalra
have continually been on the wrong course
our seanaen are impressed, and we have
no hold on that government for redress
At the same tim e. we take every possible
mode to irritate and harrass The British
government, and if they do not submit to
it with the meekness Of lambs, we politely
charge them with fraud aud per6dy, and
denounce them az the worst Of tyranss.
Free ships SHALL make free goods"
says Mr.. Jefferson. And this he said for
eight years, az often as he could get
chance to talk. Nothing short Of this doc.
triue, in its utmost latitude, would satisfy
his philosophy. And wha. was the result!
he did all he could to make every thing
bead to his own vagaries but after all, 6.
Britain, not disposed to cut her own
threat, "has hitherto refused, and still
doth refuse" to yield the point. Now, if
we should admit, for the sake Of argument,
that this is a delightful theory; the enquiry
will Immediately arise, are we in way to
realize it? 1t will puzzle wiser heads
than Mr.. Jefferson's, or Nh. Madison's, or
even secretary Robert Smith. Esq. to prove
the Affirmative of this question. So far
from having advanced towards the estab-
l'shmens of the principle, We have con-
stansiy been receding from it. Grea, Bril-
tain feels more and more, the absolute i'm
Torrance Of maintaining it, for the sake of
her own preservation and at the same
time she has discernment enough to see,
that our Philanthropic administration, have
had covert inclination to lend their feeble
aidto the power of France in order to hum
Die, and PROSTATE the British nation and
seeing this. she will not fail to resent it,
However much it may amuse US, to be the
dupss of JeRersoniau hypocrisy, We may
rely upon it, that i, comes with no cha, ms
to nation struggling for resistance against
world in arms.
