slay IS tho peculiar property of iieemea--and tlrls t0 honourit Is theiF peculiar right. There is no other time when the people may with co much propgiety express their views offh con- duct of their EuIeEs and great men, and their good or evil deeds De so fearlessly applauded or condemned. This renders the day po- litical festival and well may our public ser wants fear to violate the wishes oftheir cOnstit- uents, when amid all the fervour and excitement of the occasion, the minds of the freemen are to be filled with confidence in their rulers or is- trust and jealousy of political, oflice-seek- CTS and noisy demagogues. From the scnti- ments of the tOasts given on the late celebra- ton, it evidently appears that the present gen. eral administration has lost nothing in the af- fections of the people, from the unpEinciple effects of the opposition faction, but that on the contrary it has received additi0nai strength and renewed lustre in consequence of this 0p- position. This tells well for our worthy chief magistrates and is a double assurance that so long as hepursues the ''even tenour of his way" the virtue of the people will never rob him of that reward his services so justly mer- it,--the love and continued support of his fel- low citizens. %
 We shall in our next insert the account of the celebration at Arlington, the seat of the Hon. MT. Custis.s The account is the most interesting and sentimental of any we have seen from other parts.

& The papers from every direction are filled
 with accounts of the late half century ceienra-
 tion; and from these accounts we are lea to
 believe that the Fourth of July has never
 before been honoured with so many demon strations of enthusiastic Joy by this great and free people; and amid all this enthusiasm we have heard of no riots or confusion, but in the "torrent, tempest, and whirlwind' of joy' there appears to have been mixed "atempe- rance that gave it smoothness." It would be impossible for us, especially in this weeks pa "per. to give any thing of an idea of the pomp and parade with which our fellow citizens in different and distant parts of the country com memorated the glorious deed of '76.

On our last page of this week will be found an abstract Of tlle fifst Annnal Report of the
 Prison Discipline Society, established in Bos-
 ton. It ia highly interesting docuinent, and
 throws loud af liglft upon tns present per-
 verse system pf Pris0n Discipline: stsiem
 at watch American phiIanthr0pists may well
 niusn. " tate DAken beard it remarked, when any e c0nssets oA our state prisons are Feleased rom connnement, that 1t Was lGtting 's tyEefs
 loose upon society" 1t has invariably prov
 ed to be thus. Surely in this day of know
 ledge and benevolence, if any systenn- needs .
 thorough change, it is that of the mode oftreaf- ing and Punishiag criminals. And we are not a little mortified at finding, however bad may be the system in our sister states, that in Con- necticut the system is worse than bad--itis abs solutely abOminable-and if persisted in, will bring blot upon the state which aIl our noble institutions cannot easily wash out. sIYelwish the Report of the Boston Society may be read by every citizen of our state and country, and a cordial cooperation be given 10 the society, by the formation of auxiaries, until more wise and consisting mode of punishment is established throughout the United States.

Ad- miraI Coffin oftke British navy one of the descendants and native of this country, is now on visit to his friends in Boston and it has been proposed, should he visit Nantucket, that allthe Coffins turn out and escort him.
