The Young Mems Committee of Arrange !
ments for the celebration of the approaching |
Anniversary of our Independence, have COM
plotcd the duty assigned them. The Commit
tee regret, that the little time they have had to
make the necessary preparations, for suitable
observance of the day, has prevented them
from making such arrangements for an exten-
sive and splendid display, as ought, in their
opinion, ever be made in commcmorating
events, so important and interesting to the
American people. The Committee feel great
pleasure, in acknowledging the lberality ofthe
citizens, and particularly the Young Men Of
the town, in providing funds to dcfray the ex-
pense of this celebrations; and as this is en-
phatically, The Young Mems Celebration"
