The Young Mons Committee Of Arrange
mcnts for the celebration Of the approaching
Anniversary Of our Independence, have COM
pleted 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 extern
sve 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 liberalhy ofthc
citizens, and particularly the Young Men Of
the town, in providing funds to dcfray the ex-
pcnse Of this celebration; and as this is en-
phatically, "The Young Mems Celebration.''

tee would feel much qualification in having

tee. With this expression Of their wishes, they
submit the following
