BY J. F. BRACE, EsQ.
 You are now assembled, fellow citixens, to celebrate the birth day of freedom in your native land, to look back upon fifty years of unexampled prosperity and happiness.
 Many are the advantages resulting from these annual assemblies in our land they point us Lack to owhat we were, when toiling in the prison houseof bondage; they show us what we now are, after half a century of trial.
 The object of these celebrations is not. as many of the timid imagine, to keep up in the heart the hatred of one nation. The decla- ration of Independence, as it is now read to us, will not rouse us against the oppressor of the last century, but against oppression in this; and, while this declaration sounds in their ears, this people will not submit to the domination of the artful demagogue, on the one hand, or fall beneath the sword of conquest, on the other. live remember, from year to year, that our ancestors, amidst the horrors of war and the gloom of poverty, pledged " their lives, their fortunes. and their sacred honor, |" that freedom should be perpetuated among us; are We in danger of proving de generate Can Americans again bow to tit led aristocracy, after having met, in a perfect equality, around the festive hoard, that is ev- cry where spread on this day? Can A. mericans again submit to military dom ,ina:ion, and political slavery, after hearing, as they every where will, this day, what half "a century of freedom has wrought out for them. 1t is impossible. He. who tyrannizes over these states, must firstraze from the mind the memory of the past; must blot out from the page of history the record of the last fif- ty years; must say to this people, ye shall not year after year, meet in the templesof liberty to offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving.
 In these; our annual attempts, however, to preserve the spirit of liberty among us let us mot keep alive the sense ofthe injuries which, fifty years ago, we received from the English nation. It cannot be necessary for freemen, after half a century of political existence, to remember and revenge the injuries inflicted on them in their infancy;-injuries, that were then met and revenged In the great work o( eplghtening the world, of dissemina- ting the principles of liberty, ofeducation and of religion, we need the assistance of nation. ppssessing, as England does. so many of the principles of freedom in her institutions; let our maxim then be towards her as to others. enemies in war; in peace, friends;s and let lus mi sHlly the .recOllections of this halfcen- tllFS Nhilee, by reproaches of ancnemv, that

We arc not vain enough to attempt review of the oratiOn, orsio display our taste in seIectingfor our readers one part in preference to anotheHs and have therefore requested of the writer per- mission to give it to ourreaders entire. One half of the house was well crowded with female beauty; but we were little vexed that the etiquette of the place, or some other cause seemed to forbid the fair daugh- ters of the heroes of '76 from gracing the day with any other show than promiscu- ous huddling together in a crowded house. Perhaps we are little wild upon the sub- ject, but we really think splendid process sion of ladies is not an uninteresting sight upon such an occasion. But silently they came, and silently and unattended they re- tired from the church,-while the gentle, men in proper and orderly procession re- turned to the County House, where a ,sumptuous dinner was prepared, of which a very large number of citizens and stren-. gers partook.

COUNTY POST.
TUESDAY, lMORNTNG,) JULY il.
REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE.

On the Fourth of July, 1776, JOHN
 ADAMS signed the glorious instrument ol our Independence, well aware of the toll,
 and blood, and treasure it would cost to
 maintain the Declaration but through all
 the. gloom that hung over the destinies of the colonies, his patriotic mind could dis
 cern sufficient rays of light and glory to
 enable him to predict that posterity would triumph in the deed that day done. On the Fourthof July, 1926, the Venerable JOHN ADAMS, having seen the gloom dispelled, and fulfhalo of light surround ing the pathway of the states, calmly yiel- ded up his life to his Maker, and was !" gathered unto hi" political brethren.
 The ten thousand ideas which rush upon the mind when we reflect that this venera-
 ble patriot has thus hallowed by his death
 our half century celebration of national in- dependence, seem to choke our utterance,
 and we indeed need the pen of "ready writer to give even a minute view of the
 immense interest which this event will
 throw into the page of American history.
 We cannot mourn that the patriot is gone i've cannot but rejoice that he was taken
 away at the very moment he was. Fifty
 years ago he heard the predictions of the
 enemies of rational liberty, that the ex- pertinent then about commencing would not succeed ;-that half century would
 crumble down the Temple of Freedom, (the conner of which was then just laid, ) and that the builders, if they should not be crushed beneath the falling timbers, would descend into an obscure and unhonoured grave. How different the reality !-One after another, the master-builders have sunk into the tomb, and redeemed na- tion has mourned their exit One, 4avour- ed above the rest, was permitted to see and hail the dawn of the Fiftieth Jubilee of Freedom, to realize that ten million of freemen would that day rejoice in the la bours of himself and his compatriots, and linen like Simeon to say, " now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,'' and breath ott his soul in prayers for the prosperity of his beloved country. The subject pre- sents theme which will immortalize ma ny apoet; we feel like treading upon en- chanted ground. and dare not display our weakness by pursuing it. Let those who tell of Adams death, say that he died on the fiftioth anniversary of our National Independence. s.

 The FiftietA Anniversary of American Independence is past.-We have seen no account of the proceedings on the day from abroad; but from the notes of preparation which previously sounded from Passama- .quoddy to the river St. Mary's, we are apt to believe. that, according to the prediction of the late venerable John Adams, uttered fifty years ago, the " Fourth of July'' last was not only "solemnized as the day ot deliverance,s ,sby humble acts of devotion to Almighty God" but that it was " com- memorated with p,shoOs, games, sports, guns, bells, bOnfres aud illuminations, from one end of the continent to the other.'-- Although in this place we did not literally come up to the full letter ofthe prediction, yet such was the harmony and good feeling which characterised the proceedings of the day, spiced with a suitable degree of hilar- ity, that they were all realized and enjoyed in the "mind's eye" W II Ihe dawn of the day was announced by the, discharge ofcannon, and the sun, as he began his daily course, was greeted with Ia 'efederal salute, and the ringing of the bells. At l2 a national salute was fired !; when the procession was formed Ut the County House, ,and proceeded tethe church, escorted by the Washingt ton ArtillsFy, and an excellent band ofmusic, from New-Ha- ven, belonging tosthe Governors Guards. The services at the church were highly in teresting and instructive The sentiments of the pieces sung, together with the deep toned peels of the.organ, were admirably calculated to awake devotional as well as I patriotic feelings.-The declaration of In-
 dependence was read by T. SMITH, ESQ.
 in manner well worthy of that most elo- quent and interesting document.-Of the address, by J. P. BRACE, Esa. we have heard but one general sentiment expressed

education, the responsibility, and the religion it possesses. Such men can sink contented- ly into the evening of life, leaving their coun- try's freedom and prosperity, the best legacy to their children.
 But there is yet another class still more in- terestinS in this retrospect: the actors in that arduous struggle, the few survivors of band that now sleep in the soil they defended.
 Soldier of '76 -(if any such now hear my voice,) could you have seen when you fled before the pursuing enemy, over the plains of Jersey or when, after the hard fought day of Germantown, you sullenly retired before the victorious foes or when, without clothes, without food, without money or credit, YOU marked the frozen soil of Valley Forge with the blood of your naked feet; could you have foreseen what you view this day could you have felt that your country, even in your life time, would become the first nation of the. world in freedom and intelligence and the fifth in power, and resources; would YOU not have persevered?g
 Mellow citizens they saw none of these glories, and yet, amid gloom, darker than midnight of storms. they did perseyere with nothing but the resolution gathered from dis pair; with nothing but the determination to die freemen, rather than live slaves; they did persevere,-and for what !-for the poor and pitifnl reward, at their death, of paragraph m a newspaper corner, ''aRother revolution ary soldier has fallen,' driven to the grave. perhaps, by the pressure of poverty, which this rich and powerful republic refused to re- iieve
