From the Boston Patriot, Of July 4th.
FOURTH OF JULY.

The Anniversary OF the Declaration oil
our National Independence returns, un-
der circumstances Of more than ordinary
interest. 1t is now nearly sixty years,
since the occurrence Of that memorable
event, g. forty-fvo years, since that IDde-
pendence was consummated,b by the adop-
ton Of the Federal Constitution. On
such an occasion, so full Of interesting
rccollections, the patriot would wish to
dwell upon the past, with the full assur-
ance, that the principles by which our
National progress, has hitherto been
guided, would continue to direct Us
But it is impossible to forget, that the
individuals TO whom our destinies arc
now unhappily entrusted, have become
regardless Of the spirit, and disloyal to
tho principles Of their wise and gallant
fathers; that the National welfare and
honor arc in their view of small consid-
GRAFTON, in comparison with the keen
thirst for the attainment of personal OBJ
jocts that the Constitution, the great
chart Of those who have gone before us,
lies defaced and torn at the feet Of him,
who was commissioned to guard it that
precedeDts have been set, and doctrines
have been avowed, which threaten the
fabric Of our republican system with dc.
struction; and that, if these doctrines
should be unopposed by the strong and
collected will of all the patriotic and true
hearted, the result may be such, as no
,no can contemplate, without dismay
These are melancholy considerations
'ut fortunately they are not unmiDgled
With hope. Passing events are teach
~ US, that the spirit Of the People of
lese United States, is awakening from

with any paper read to the Cabinet-nint
that law says Gineral The Gineral
nodded his head, and that was enui; and
says he, Major, do you read that paper;
know you well enough to know il will
be an honest view OF things, and ] don't
care whose toes you tread on. | have
no interest IN these matters further than
to do my duty-if any fellows have mis-
led me, advise 'em to keep an eye on
my hickory.
And then took ont my papers from my
pocket aud went at il; and didn't mince
matters ] tell you. The Gineral sat rest
in his elbows on the table with his chin
in both hands and lookin straight in my
face the hnll time, ony once IN while
he'd take his hickory and whack il on
the table when one mu,tered and whis-
pered; and as soon as | got to the eend
ont, then come buz and a mixin, and
tho Gineral got up "nd fetched another
whack on the table with his hickory, e.
nuf To loosen ones eye-teeth.
! Now, says the Gineral, Tve hearn
both sides, and the people will shortly
hear it too. If they say the Major is
right, ! won't oppose them any longer;
if they say the Majo is wrong, then
well GO on as we now go; and now, says
he, Major, git that printed, and the only
favour l ask Of you is not to send an Of
fetal copy ont to the Senate if they ask
one land with that, and the G,neral
bowed off the Cabinet. and the Majors,
and the rest of the Government; aud we
turned to readin letters from all quarters,
all full Of money troubles and distress,
enui to give one the cholera morbus; for
as | said aiore one is jest about as bad as
tother.
\ III send you tomorrow or next day,
the paper read to the Cabinet, and the
rest OF the Government, for you to print.
It's too long for this letter, and you can
ask Zekel Bigt low, If he haint stop'd
payment, to pay you for the expense OF
printin ont, and tell him for me irhis
head is above water, it's more than can
be said Of most lolks-and he better holt
on all he's got, and ride out the storm i
he can. His last letters to mesay thing.
are shockin bad in wall-street, but the
worst there aini as bad as things are a.
way West and South, and they will be
worse yet, il the people don't decide
pretty soon, as the Gineral says, wheth.
er ! am right or wrong. For its the
peoples business now, and the Ginera
is waitin for 'em. Your Friend,

EYiLlian, Cobben-It seems that there is no
idea too preposterous for this man 10 propagate.
An invasion of Ireland by Americans is about as
Gkely as an invasion of the moon. having
lived here and knowing the character OF our
gove,nment and its institutions, he must aoso-
Ss,,,sIv he in his dotage to admit the thought for
nns moment. That he finds people so exces-
s;velv silly and so profoundly ignorant as to
credit such aliteraly mad conceit would be IN
deed matter of astonshment, had we not daily
exDerience of the crowds that follow every
charlatan, however absurd his pretenSions..

DANGER OF AN AMERICAN INVASION OF IRELAND.
Ar meeting of the Manchester Repeal AS
sociation, held at Hutton's Tavern, Deansgate
ON Monday evening, May 10. Mr.. Cobbetts he
oister of Saturday, May IL, was, on motion, OF
dered TO be read at length upon which the ioi
lowing resolutions were passed:
g., Resolred. That the late paper, written by Mr.
>Cobbett, on the probabilities and danger OF an
American Invasion of Ireland, is, in our Judg,
ment. the most important document that has Is
sued from the British press theS many years
mast. and that il appears to us to be deserving
of the most serious attention of his MaJesty's
government and the people of Eneland.
Resolred, That we tender our lasting graft
tnde TO Mr.. Goblet for this able production OF
Iish. Ir tfssaectfnlls request him to repuo-
and TO assure him Of our order for 500 copies,
for the use of the members of our association.
Resolred, That we petition both Houses Of
Parliament, praying that FIVE million copies oil
this invaluable paper be published at the ma
tional expense, through the agency OF MIR. Cob
bett, and distributed gratis all over the United
Kingdoms.
That our petition to the House Of Lords be
entrusted to the Lord Chancellor, and the Ear
of Shrewsbury and Lord Cloneurry be request,
ed to support its prayer; and that to the Com
mons be entrusted to our tried, faithful and un-
purchasable countryman, O'Connell; and that
Messrs. Hume, Harvay, Roebuck, OConnor,
Ronayne, Shiel, Finn, Jacob and Maurice o.
Common. be requested to support the same.
That these Resolutions be published in Mr.
Cobbetts Register, the Evening and Weekly
True Sun, the Manchester Advertiser; the New
castle Press, and Liverpool Journal; and that
these papers have and deserve our confidence
and thanks. LLOYD JONES, Chairman.

Interesting expostions we presume must fol

The Cumberland (Md) Advocate, ofthe Goth
inst relates an instance of death by lntempe'
rance, which led to a most interesting develop
ment of faithful attachment on the part OF DOG
to his besotted master, The facts in the case
were established before jury of inquest held
over the body Of the deceased, who was ascer'
tanned to be B. RILEY, bricklayer, of Phlladci'
phia The Advocate says:
1t appears that the deceased came to this place
on Saturday, the 18th inst, passenger IN the
stage, and was left at the stage house in conse'
auence of being insane and subject to fits, occa'
stoned by the immoderate use OF strong drink.
He remained at the house until the following
Monday about five O'Clock in the afternoon,
when he left taking with him neither coat nor
hat. Surprising that he had just stepped on
for recreation, no attention was paid to HIM un'
til dark, when dgent search was made, but III
vain. No trace was left to point out the dlrec-
ton he had taken. Day after day passed away
without any further discovery.
On the 9th day it was observed that his Dor
which had been absent during the same time.
had returned, They fed him, and he imme.
diately left the house again, and returned IN t'e
evening. They fed him second time and dr
termned to follow him. The dog, upon disco
yering that they were following him, appeared
to be much elated, rrancing along before them
until he came opposite where his master lay,
when he Immediately left the road, ran to ON!
and barked!!
The dog had thus watched his master five day.
after death, and then discovered him to the GU,
zens!!-thus proving the sagacity OF that Va'"'
able animal
The verdict Of the jury was, "that ne cam
