THE CELEBRATION IN CADIZ.

The celebration of the 4lh of July 1640, in
Cadiz, will long be remembered. Never before
did our peaceful village witness such con-
course Of eople. On the evening of the third,
Governor Shannon and great number Of the
citizens of the adjoining counties, arrived in
town. And early on the morning OF the fourth
national salute welcomed in the great and go.
r,ous day. At 6o'clock the Democratic Band,
accompanied by the Committee Of Arrange,
ments, and respectable number of citizens,
repaired to meet the companies as they approach
ed the town at the different points designated,
and before twelve o'clock the streets were ian4
med with men. horses, carriage and wagons.
As the time had arrived for dining, the respee
| tive professions repaired to the dinner tables.
| There were such an overwhelming turn out Of
| Democrat that not more than the one fourth oE
them could be accommodated al the table, spread
for their entertainment, - After The removal Of

Independence. Governor Shannon arose and ad
dressed the vast ussernbly in a soul stirring and
eloquent manner for The space Of nearly three
hours. 1t was the first time we had ever heard
the Buckeye Governor speaking in public, and
when we remembered the puerile talk Of Gen.
Harrison on the same ground, two years ago,
the contrast between the Oratory of the two,
was indeed striking When the Governor had
finished, the regular toasts we,s read, and after
the performance of some delightful pieces Of
music by the Cadiz andNew Philadslph lphiaBands,
the company dispersed in good order and fine
spirits, withoutany thing occurring worthy of
note to mar the pleasure and hilarity Of the
day.-Cadiz Sentinel.

THE PROSPECT.

Every sun that rises brings with il
fresh assurances Of the unity, the en-.
thusiasm, and the strength Of the dem
ocralic party; and the tirmness which
is manifest throug ghout the whole ranks,
eVinces a determination to preserve In
voIable the present form Of government.
The principles Of democracysare every
day spreading wider, and becoming bet
ter known; as long as such is the case,
we need fear nothing. Federalism old
Black cockade Federalism, nth all her
deceptons, alIurements, drunken. orgies
and bufoonery, can never make con-
verts enough 10 place her in the ascen-
dant.
Our exchanges daily bring in fresh
accounts of the numerous and enthusl>
astic meetings that are every where held
throughout our wide spread Union in
favor of Van Buren, and Democracy.
But one spirit seems TO animate hePeo-
pIe-and that is for the onward progress
of Democracy, the reelection OF Martin
Van Buren and the final overthrow OF
the Federal party. The adherence of
Mr. Van Buren, throughout his public
career to democratic princlples-hls de-
votion to the peoples welfare, and his
firmness in guiding the Ship of State for
the last three years, in the struggle be-
tween the money power and the people.
has gained for him, and is gaining for
him laureIs that will never perish while
freemen live. Never since the contest
between Jefferson and Burr, have the
Federallsts made such struggle 10 get
into power against the will of the peo-
pie, as they are now making, and never
were they so sure ola Waterloo defeat
as they are al The present time. With
tho prospect of defeat before them, they
are ecourged on by The Democracy to
madness and desperation. Despised by
the majority of the people, and in des.
pair at their own knavery, they think
nothing too low or base 10 resort 10,
Having no principles that they dare main
tain openly, they take shelter behind g
misrepresentation. ora lie, and by this
means endeavor TO keep up a running
fight until election. From their Con
eral down 10 the veriest scribler all is
duolicity, falsehood, aud misrePresen'
,atlon; bur all will not do. The people
have been wisely taught--their lndigna'
ton is aroused, and they are determined
to enter their protest at the ballot box
against the parly that have Insultec
their understandings, endeavored TO col
rupt their morals, and openly contemt
their intelligence.
! The prospect Tor the Democracy l.
b'jgt end glowing. Their feelings
throughout the Union are centred rOunt

Jackson majority will be echoed ove
The country by the long and loud cheers
of millions of his fellow men.
