Press, he particularly noticed as being
powerful engine for good or NJ in n
Republic, and said that every good cit
izen, that regarded the welfare of his
country, should contribute to Its sup
port, when well conducted. After he
had thus enumerated and illustrated the
duties of republicans, and the means
necessary for preserving our liberty,
sc. rs above referred to, he addressed
the youth, who were now fast taking the
place Of their fathers, and made an
earnest appeal to them to come maniul-
ly forth and perform their duty, &c.
Ills conclusion was animated and i'm
pressiye. The true genius of liberty in
the American character, he said, must
be properly nourished-our stripes and
stars may then proudly wave when
other nations have passed TO the gave
Of empires and their names obliteratcd,
and their language obsolete on the
earth.-Whh a cause st,-intcntions
pure, and humble trust in Cop, our
march must and will be onward.
In the afternoon, the different Sab
bath Schools in town, with their Teach
ers, together with numerous audience,
attended at the North Baptist Church,
where addresses were delivered by sew
cral clcrgymcn, intcrspcrsed with sing
ing from the choir. After the services
at the Church were over, tho whole
repaired to Washington-Squarc, and
sang several tunes under the fno shade
Of the trees in the Mail.
No. tho least important item in the
celebration ofthc 9TH here, was the turn
out Of the Irish, TO the number ofabout
two hundred. A Temperance nssocia-
,ion has recently been formed among
them, and they met on this occasion,
formed procession, and preceded by
their Priest, on horseback, marched
through several Of the principal streets
displaying a large, handsome banner,
on which was inscribed the word
"TEMpERANcE." Each member of the
association also displayed an emblem OF
his Temperance pledge. The process
sion was not only respectable in num-
bers but in appearance--a more decent
and orderly assemblage We have not
seen on any public occasion. God speed
the true hearted sons Of Erin in the
fulflnent of their noble pledge. Under
the healthlul banner Of "rEMpERANCE,"
they will improve their condition in
every thing that relates to their happi-
ness, responsibility and prosperity.

bsnished from Nova Scotia by the British in
1855. Mrs. Williams is well known to many
Of our readers as the author Of 'Neligion al
Home" "Revolutionary Tales" and many
Other interesting works. The narrative OF
those scenes of cruelty and suffering canno,
fail TO be deeply interesting to every reader
especially when written in the flowing
style of Mrs. w. 'fhc public feeling also
which prevails in relation 10 the North East.

The interest Of the work--for n portion of
those who were driven out from Nova Scotia,

The following complimentary notice
of Mr.. CRANsToN Grafton is evidently
from the pen Of Lady, and though it
was received at late hour, we think it
contains too much truth to be lost.
