THE TWELFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE INDIE

This Order, (as was announced in our last pa

City on Tuesday, the 9th instant, in very be-
coming and appropriate manner. It is unueces-
sary for us to rcpublish tire order of procession
or line Of march, as we believe they moved very
generally as published by us last week but we
must say that the entire days proceedings far
surpassed our ahicipalions. The procession
started from Eastern Lodge, Navy Yard, about
IL o'cfock-latcr than was expected, owing to the
delay occasioned by the arrival of the visiting
Brethren, who were numerous, and from points
all around u.s. The number from Baltimore was
large, and in Lodges, bearing their appropriate
banners and insignia. When the procession had
reached the Theatre, we opine they were greeted
by such a spectacle as was never before witnessed
in this City. The Theatre itself was well light
ed; but the whole scene was doubly frightened
by the smiles and pleasing glances that shot
through every part Of the house from the eyes Of
the hundreds Of fair ones that looked down upon
the procession as they moved along with perfect
order 10 the places assigned them. The first and
second tiers Of boxes were entirely filed by the

The Washington Firemen, on an alarm of fire
Saturday night last, repaired TO Georgetown,-
where the fire was supposed to be, but which
turned out to be a bon-tire.-They were met, not
by a hearty welcome for their endeavors to do
good, but by heavy shower Of stones. This
caused some little row, few blows, some pre-
sentiments before the Mayor, and, we suppose
will end i'll some fines for the pains taken to in
lict pains, without having the fear Of paaes be-
fore their eyes. But we can seriously say that
if our firemer are attacked by our Georgetown
neighbors every time they repair there to fire, they
will in self preservation, be forced to remain at
home. This is not the FIRST time but we do hope
that for the honor of Georgetown, such measures
will be taken as to make it the last time such scenes
shall occur.

ANOTHER FOREIGNER APPOINTED.

ANOTHER FOREIGNER APPOINTED.
1. appears that Of late it is settled policy OF
the Administration 10 prefer bestoWing the public
Offices upon foreigners rather than upon our own
known citizens. /" How is this the honest far
MGR will inquire when hearing OF these things,
are there no Americans worthy OF the conf
dence Of their own agents, none sufficiently ca
pable, honest, or patriotic to be entrusted with
the affairs of their own country" Oh yes. an
abundant number, the sons of patriots Of the first
war Of independence, and of the last of defence
men who have contributed largely i'll services and
revenue, to the honor as well as riches of the
nation. But these attributes are of little value
compared with the influence which the host OF
aliens now swarmng i'll our land have upon po-
lcal questions and the strength of political par
ties, and therefore, as virsue is in human affairs
of much less weight than its opposite quality,
gratitude and good faith must give way to the
parasite pretcnsions Of the stranger whose breth-
rem can make or mar any election. SO much,
therefore, for the practical results of that Utopian
scheme Of philanthropy, which, under the name
Of our own people to the indiscriminate claims Of
people from all clincs. The time is fast APP
preaching when, as we have long since predicted,
the Native will be ounumbered in his own land,
and cursed be they who shall have aided in this
result-a result which not all our boosted freedom
and liberation can save from the reproach of hav.
ing proceeded from that moral cowardice which
made men hate their own countrymen and their
principles for the sake of party and spois.
We are led into these reflections from the cir
cumstance of learning that foreigner who repre-.
scnts himself as belonging to one part Of Europe,
while in fact his enunciation proves him to belong
to another, has within the present week been ap.
pointed to permanent situation in the Navy De-
partmcnt while there were several respectable
and deserving Natives who have been long time
delvng out probation as temporary incumbents
in the hope that the first vacancy in the regular
Offices would give some one of them promotion
But alas, neither claim, merit, or hope have any
weight when representative of the foreign clan
presents himself with the shiboleth Of his party.
Like the talsman Of Rinaldo, he makes all doors
open to his password, and though the archives Of
our Departments contain volumes Of political inter
est sealed books to US, they readily unrolled to
the inspection of the tinerant patriot who has his
home here, and his master and his sovereign
elsewhere.
Far be it from us to mar the onward path
of any man in the little measure Of this worlds
success. We speak not against any one on pri-
vate reasons, but for the sake Of preserving that
natural strength which grows out of unity Of
feeling among our people-we raise our voices
SO that ere it is too late the flood Of foreign ia.
voritism may not drown our sensibilities fol- our
our own rights.
