 ] dePiOrable example of this may be seen in the proceedings of certain choice spirits convened at WoOdbuEy under the preience of celebrating the late anOiyersary of Ou. national independence. We hear

 the motives of ihoss who got up the ceehraiion-not to eommemors,e the expoiis of our ancesprs. andhe triumph of liberiies bus promote he oi
 miserable fac,ion and to accomplish projects ofself- interest, and personal aggrandsement. It ia only short year since certain character eoacar.ed in the oohaowed purpose of prosn,ing tn this msnher this grea, anniversary, whieh all gcod have supposed should be devoted the medication of spirit of con cord and harmony among our citizens, to the dissemi- nation of just, liberal and patriotic sentiments and renvgoraiing that ardent devotion country and its truly republican institutions which we rust will | aR A.,--, Rsh. and be transmitted to the laiest poaer,y. But the celebration Of the 4sh of July i" truly catholic spirit would answer the purpose of c. B. P. and his com. peers-.hey resolved 90 make it a mere party aaair.- Hence an inexperienced youth 10 Be.hlem as experiment, equipped with oraoa ar,fully drawn up and instructed play the hypocrite before a public audience He was made the bearer of le,- respectable citizen Of that place, in which the writer had the eroniery that the oSject was efec" asd shas it necessary look well "to the meaRs."
 l In precisely these motives did the late celebration at Woodbury originate and j" precisely the spir h was j, conducted from beginnng to end-the objec, was s,iIl ''ETEEcT," and especial regard was had "to Ghe means." These remarks are not intended to be universaI-ahere undoubtedly sonse and per. haps many, who drascn in to participate in the proceedags of the day onder The desre idea that the object really celebrate the achievement four national independence; bu; we affirm that the leaders had widely different views and influenced by the most reprehensible motives. And here would call
 the particular of the pOblic the record for- nshed by .ss patty agains. whom prefer these cusasioas. Look at the sentiments uttered at the he, both regular and voluntary, and ask is h pos sibe to diseeTa single pUsaiiOn Of ahose patriotic feelings which osghi to predo@inate such ocea- sion In the regular ,oass there is the alghest ausion lexesps is single i0staace of very extras ordinary chaTacser 10 the occasion, 10 ihe of the revoluoH, to the suderngs of ancessors, so any one of the cop6ics in which they were engaged when they poured forth lheir blood like water, aud the consiancy. 6rmness and herosm which afier a long and doohs1i struggle sriumphansy vindicaied the Ib critics ofthe nation and asserted the rights of EVEN THE NAME or THE GREAT AND coon WASH INGToN WAS COMMITTED TO PROFOUND oBLIvios.-- l How could it be otherwise when ihe author of the sentiments concluded ahe whole (sery appropriately by blazoaOg forth hs own infamy under the head of

Many Of the voluntary sen. meats correspOnded ia character with ihe regular ioasss. The sentiments uttered by Messrs. Palmer, Smith and Neuleion, and those first givsa by Msssrs. Judsoa and Wadsworh were appropriate. hut many of the other oaas indicated great naiigsiy ofhear and disclosed spirit that belonged to any other day l in the year, rather than the 4h ofJuly.
 Throughout the whole of fife proceedings it is man.
