to be deemed, by us, at the north, as a mis- fortune and not fault of our southern breth- ren.
 Such then is the retrospect of the last fifty years, and such the advice and reflection to which it gives rise. Standing at such a dis tinguisLed period of our existence will it be deemed sextravagant pr enthusiastic in the. speaker to turn the telescope of imagination to the future prospects of this country! if the free institutions, under which you now live, be continued; if the virtue and intelligence of your population be preserved, the brightest prospects are before you. We may not see them: but the day is not far distant, when the voice of busy population shall arise from every corner of your land; when the pro- ducts of your agriculture shall cover every mountain and plain, and the canvass of your commerce shall spread over every river; when your manufactures shall rival in extent 1 and excellence the institutions of Europe, and your country be the patron of every art and science. Already is she the example and al- most the arbiter of this continent, and her ia- fluence will soon be felt among .sthc chains and fetters'' of Europe, and will be, as the dawn of day to her inhabitants enveloped in ] the night of oppression. The light of edu- cation and of genuine liberty will arise over her4ancient mOnarchies, not the blood stain'd and baleful comet, < shedding disastrous twi- light'' over the uninstructed slave, struggling but to riyet his chains; and with one united effort the enlightened peasantry of Europe, capable Of self-gOvernment, will break their chains and be free. It is your example that must accomplish this, the example of your education and freedom; and with the illumin- ed page of your history unroll'd to them. this l blOodless revolution of opinion wil without effort, crumble to pieces the fabric of a priyi- tleged aristocracy; will blot out the prescrp- tive and arbitrary customs of the feudal gov ernments, and will break into fragments the thrones and sceptres of tyrants, and to your country will the regenerated nations of Eu- rope point as the ensample to the world of all that IS free in government; of all that is en- frightened in education and of all that is pure and exalted in religion. s. At Brdnford, we understand the anniversa- ry was not forgotten-guns were fired--bells rung-revolutionary soldiers were collected Together, some in their ancient dresses-the Declaration nofIndependence of was read-about | 200 persons sat down to good dinner provi- ded for the Occasion-after which several pat l riotic Toasts were drank.
 On the 4th inst. a great number of gentle men from Woodbridge, Salem society in Wa terbury, and Oxford, collected at the tavern of MT Collins, in the north part of W Woodbridge. Adonijah French, Esq. of Woodbridge, was appointed President, and Andrew Adams Esq. of Waterbury, Vice President of the day. The Declaration of Independence was read-a National Salute was fred by de- tachment of the artillery company from OK ford-after which upwards of one hundred gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner provided by MT Collins. Several patriotic l toasts were drank. %f 0We understand that the Jersey Bank at Jersey City, has stopped payment. In this instanceS many persons expected the old COW would eat mp the grindstone. We have here tofore cautioned the public against this bank and we believe there is very little of their trash now in this vicinity-Col. Reg.
 Ne,c- York AdUocates.-Tt will be recoected that after the quarrel year or two ago be- tween the editor and the vproprietors of the National Advocate, MT. Noah and some of his friends started new paper with the same name. MT Noah has lately quarrelled with his new partner, separated, and started anoth- CT paper by the name of "New-York Enqui- rer." -
 1 1TCStUSW SeUeISOU.-A IEicHu WHO mas UGen an occasional visitant at Monticello, has fre- quently expressed his surprise at the total want of delicacy, which has marked the con- 1 duct of those who have made themselves tenn porary inmates of the hospitable mansion. The whole establishment of servants must be entertained in the kitchen, and the numerous horses must be turned over to the care of the family hOstler. Delicacy would certainly have dictated a dismissal of part of the at tendants to neighbouring tavern.-U. S. Gaz.
 Ihe Western Indians.-Tt appears that the Cherokees, West of the Mississippi, and the Osages, are bent on war-on destroying one another, as if destiny was not already hurry- ing them fast enough to the gulf of annihila- tiOn. Whatever can be done to prevent it by Mir Duval, the worthy agent of the U. States among the Cherokees, or by the authority | and influence of the Executive of the United States, we have no doubt will be done. If the war be not prevented, there is little hazard in predicting that the Osages will be sorely beaten. The Cherokees have greatly the ad- vantage of them in physical as we'll as moral qualities.
 The story of the murder of unofending white persons by Pawnee Indians which forms part of to-day's intelligence, must be received with some grains of allowance
