The Anniversary of American Tndepend- ence was celebrated at the Orange Springs Va. by numerous company. The Hon. James Barbour was an invited guest.
 One of the regular toasts was-
 Our distinguished Guest--Destined to ill an important public mission abroad--we have no fear that our interests will be neglected.
 When this toast was drank, Mir. Barbour rose and addressed the company in most eloquent and spirited speech, of which we are only able to day to give the following brief extract:
 II may say," said Mir. Barbour, "that my present and former friends know, that there was nothing in my situation which could of fer temptation to me to become patriot of cumstances--nothing to induce me to u- nte with and cordially to support an admin istratiOn, unless had the most entire conf dence in the integrity and patriotism Of It's head. declare to you on the veracity which hope is unimpeachable, that have heard no sentiment escape that distinguished citi- Zen in the most secret retirment or in the most free and confidential intercourse. to d. minish that confidence--his acts are before his constituents for their judgment.

 Gentlemen:
 Although personal stranger, take the liberty of addressing you on subject connec- ted with the presidency-a struggle which, in my opinion, involves the glory, prosperity. & permamency, of our free institutions. deep ly deplOre the necessity which urges me on this occasion, as it implies Iamentable want of that information which the most humble in dividual in society ought to possess, to ena- ble him to judge rightly on those contested points.

The most ri- diCulOus, false, and malignant stories are cir culated, with an affrOntery that defes descrip- ton. Is it not almost incredible that such fabricatiOns as the following could ever have been invented, and still more. that they could be believed, in a country boasting it's purity and intelligence, viz: That Mrs. Adams is a lady of English birth and education and that her predilection for her native soil is such that the aoater used by her for culinary purposes is imported: that the children of the family are now in England receiving therein their educa- tion that the President is now shipping of shis cash to England, where he intends going himself if he is defeated {; that he IS burying bomb shells (nnark that } in coffins in differ entparts of the Union that he holds land ed estate in England, Sc. &c.,?

In Cincinnati, the secret man. sgement of the Jackson party has celne out and traces Ofas liar kind. M parts of this state have also I.en developed.
