Another anniversary Of our Independence has
dawned upon The day, full of glory. and
proud recOllectlons, ushered in, in this city,
with morning gun at day break, and federal sa-
lutte at sun rise, fired on tire Capital Square by capt
Rutherfoord's artillery. At noon the volunteer
companies OF the city commanded by captains
Nelson, Brooke, Rutherford. Johnson and A
dams, and the Public Guard, under Capt. Boiling,
formed the line on the street adjacent to the Pub
| lie Square the whole under the command of Col
Harvie. After several evolutions, they fred a
national salute In good STYLE having four pieces of
artillery and small arms, and two fine bands Of rnu
sic. The declaration Of independence was read to
an immense~crowd in the Theatre by George p
Richardson, Esq. and an appropriate Grafton deli
| vered By Mr.. w. G. Kidd. The several military
companies having repaired to their respective pla-
ces of dining, and partaen of the viands prepared
for them, returned to the Square, and closed the
festivities Of the day, by firing an evening salute
The day was uncommonly fine. We have heard
OF no accident or event to mar the general 10Y.
The celebration Of this great era in our political
history, never be discontinued, 20 long as the
Nation preserves its liberty, and venerates the doc
trines promulgated by our fathers, in the immortal
declaration, by which they pronounc ed these states
free, sovereign and independent" A kind Pro-
whence still preserves among MS the iilustrious
Sage, who penned that instrument. Through a
long and useful life he has constantly devoted the
uncommon powers OF a brilliant mind, and the I'M
firing energies Of pure heart, to the cause Of
| Liberty, and the happiness Of man. He has wit
messed, for nearly half century, a whole nation of
freenen, annually rallying around their altars and
offering up their heartfelt benedictions for the
blessings conferred upon them, by the patriot Sages
and heroes ofthe revolution. We ought 10 be thank-
iul that so many ofthese worthless are yet among
US to witness prosperity, and enjoy our gratitude
How peculiarly gfatihed must all America be, TO
have among US, on this suspicious occasion, that
friend and beneiactor Of our country the great and
good LAFAYETTE. Having seen in every section
OF our extensive country, the wonderful effects Of
liberty and virtue, lie will also have witnessed the
iervId zeal and union Of hearts, with which, as one
people, we re-assert the great principles he so es
sentially aided our fathers in establishing How
ever much our population may be dispersed over
this immense continent, Lafayette, though joining
in the celebration al New-York was present at the
same time in every heart. Every mind ever APP
preciated his noble virtues and his magnanimous
sacrifices in our cause.
But the recollections connected with this glori-
Gus occasion are not confined to the self-devoton
and heroism Of the Patriots Of the Revolution; nor

TO produce reform in our state government, by a

terms of years usual in real leases for which the
