The Fourth Of July-Ascension of Mr.. Clayton, the
Aeonam--Ihe Nepark h,stitae--Thc Extra
Session. Grand military Encampment, &c
State Conpentions, &c
The Fourth Of July passed of most joyously in
his region There was hilarity without intoxca-
ion, and, as it would now seem, as necessary con
sequence this memorable anniversary of this great
laton's birth, was not signalized by the slightest
accident of kind to be regretted, so far as have
leard.
There were two celebrations in this city, viz: a
democratic one, at which George P. Conrad, Esq,
delivered excellent Grafton, of political celebra-
ion tendency of course, since it was political &C.
ebration where he enacted the part of orator; and
Sunday School celebration, attended by about one
thousand children of this city who receive instruc
ton in the Sunday Schools Every village in this
county, great and small had believe its celebration
md IN some cases two or three. There was nc
drunkenness, no riotlng, nobody killed, nobod,
wounded; but all was done in order and with be.
coming spirit, indicating real and substantial enjoy.
nent.
Mr. Clayton, the gronaut, made his thirtieth as
tension from Columbus, at o'clock on the Fourth
We had splendid view Of him in this city We
saw the balloon in the extreme west, and watched
as passed little south of us, and proceeded
words the east, until il landed about four miles from
iere on the GAINESVILLE Road. There were thou
sands at Columbus to witness the ascension, and
citizens, after it was ascertained Mr.. CLAYTON haG
anded so near us, turned out in great numbers &c
visit him. Mr.. c. displayed his balloon, and answer
ed the numerous inquiries addressed to him in tn,
greatest good humor.
The exercises at the Newark Institute on Saur-
lay, the 9th instant, were very interesting and in
structive. Charles Matthews, Esq, delivered We.
ry excellent and classical lecture on Natural Histo.
ry, which was listened to, by those who appreciate
that noble branch of knowledge, with the greatest
attention and interest. The Rhode Island Question
was then taken up, and long, animated, and elo-
Iuent speech made in favor of the suffrage party by
he Hon. b. B. Taylor, leading member o: the
Ohio Senate. Many members were disposed TO take
the question at the conclusion of this speech, espe
cially as it had been decided in Rhode Island bui
several members were SO anxious to speak that the
institute finally adjourned without taking it,
The extra session of the Ohio Legislature, which
commences on the 18th of July, bids fair to make
Columbus, our capital, the resort of an Immense
number of visitors. Mr. Clayton, it is said, will
make another ascension in his balloon; and grand
military encampment under the command of Major
General Daniel Chase will be formed, have heard
it stated that many volunteer companies under ex-
celen discipline, some as far distant as Kentucky,
will rendezvous at Columbus on that occasion and
it is also rumored, with how much truth am una
BILE to determine, that General Scott, Commander
in Chief of the Army, will review the troops
bled at the encampment.
The 2Sth of July will also be signalized by mass
meeting of all the Democratic Young men in the
State of Ohio to make arrangements for the ap-
preaching political contest.
The Wings are to hold grand State Convention
in Newark in the latter part of September or flrsi
part of October
The Wing party of this State has hoisted the
broad banner of Henry Clay, and the Democratic
party is buckling on its armor to reinstate mar'"
Van Buren, in the Presidential chair:
