FOR THE SPECTATOR.

Mr.. Hdrper.-I was truly gratified TO
see in your last paper, a communication
in regard to the proposed Centennial
Celebration of Old Augusta. The
views taken Of the subject by Staunto-
man, in my opinion. are proper. have
been surprised. that the subject has not
been urged upon the public mind before
this. but hope it is not too late to rouse
the dormant feelings of the public upon
the subject. l hope that meeting will
be called. as soon as practicable, and that
the necessary arrangements will be made,
suitable to the occasion. The day is fast
approaching. and there is little enough
time to go upon. l hope that the spirit
OF our forefathers is not extinct within
US, but that we have some of their blood
flowing within our veins, and that it will
be shown on that day, with proper
spirit. Let every thing like lukewarmness
be laid aside, and let US enter at once
upon it. | hope it will not be necessary
again TO refer TO the subject, but trust
enough has been said to stimulate us 20
action. A CITIZEN
