AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.
RICHMOND. JULY

This is the Anniversary of the greatest
day that ever dawned upon the destinics
of this or of any other nation. 1t il the
birthday OF great people: and what is
more, of the only republic OF earth
Hail then To the day, that uslered this
blessing into lisht-a day, great as it is,
that is not disgraced by the subsequent
years of our history-a day whose 4lst
Anniversary sees us happy at home and
respected abroad; the wonder of the age
and may we not dare to hope, an exam
pie to other countries?
The following letter breathes an air of
triumph which we ought this day to mar
ticipaie. arr aspirit OF prophecy, which
IT is our greatest glory to have contributed
to fulfill.
PHILADELPHIA, July 5, I776.
Yesterday the greatest question was
decided which was ever debated in Anne
RIGA /; and a greater, perhaps, was never
decided among men. a resolution was
passed, without one dissenting COLONY.
''thot these United Colonies are, and of
right ought to be, FREE, SOVEREIGN.
AND INDEPENDE NT STATES"
"The day is passed. The 4th of Jul
ly, 1875, will be a memorable epocIla i'm
the history of America. am apt 10 be-
lieve At mil be celebrated by succeeding
generations, as the great anniversary festi-
raj. 1t ought TO be COMMUNICATED as
DAY Of delivsrance, by solemn acts of de-
votion TO Almighty God. 1t ought to be
solemnzed with pomp, shows, games, sports,
bells, guns, Jonfrss, itluminatiOns-FRoM
ONE END OF THE CONTINENT TO THE
oTHBR, from this time .for,Da,d for eve,.
You will think me transported with ell
thusiasm, but am not. am aware of
the toll, and blood, and treasure that it
will cost to maintain this declaration.
and support and defend these states; vet
through all the gloom, can see the rays
oflight and glory can see that the end
is worth more than all the means; and
that posterity will triumph, though you
and may rue, which hope we shall not.
l am, &c.
"JOHN ADAMS.
One word more-On this day thus
consecrated TO freedom, may we not
breathe one hope for the oppressed of
other nations May we not put up our
best wishes for the struggling Patriots
OF the South2 May we moi yet hope that
the Spanish and Portuguese colonies may
succeed i'll throwing off the CALLING yoke
which they have endured-and write
day in their kalendar, as proud aud as
happy day, as the 4th of July I776?
