The FouRTH.--Pursuant to the previous
arrangements, the people of Maumee CITY
convened at the Presbyterian church, at
eleven o'clock. The Rev'd. Mr.. Burns
oficiated as Chaplain, and after the appro-
pirate religious exercises, the Declaration
sf Independence was read by ]. w. Scott
Esq. The song Star.spangled Banner
was then beautifully sung by several of the
young ladies' and gentlemen of the PLACE,
followed by an elegant and appropriate nd
dress by DR.. ]. Dwight. The address
contained lucid review of the causes Of
the Revolution and of the character of
those engaged init. Then followed a sketch
ofthe leading incidents ofthat glorious war,
closed with an appeal to all to strive to pre-
serve unalloyed, the spirit of hatred to tyr
amy and resistance TO oppression whether
ut home or abroad, that characterized the
sages and warriors that fought for those in
sttutions under which we SO happily -four
ish.
After the exercises were over, a process
zion was formed, which moved to the tables
prepared at the Jefferson House, where a
sump.uous dinner was provided by Mr..
Cover, the Host of that establishment,
which was discussed with a hearty good
will, and with the utmost order. The table
was enlivened by the presence of the Indies

while they added elegance to the festvi.
ties.
After the cloth was removed, the follow
ing regular toasts were drank, followed by
many volunteer sentiments, which the want
of room will prevent us from giving, this
week.
We must not neglect to add, that the
board was graced by the presence ofseveral
gentlemen from other states, one of whom
the Hon. John Reed, member of Con-
gress from Massachusetts,, on being called
on, favored the company with spirited and
interesting address, which we shall give en-
tire, next week.
