Ir WORKS wilt seems thai the
remarks in the last Radical, in relation TO
the Barbecue, have inspired q portion Of
our citizens with fresh zeal in the pat
riotic enterprise set on foot some weeks
since; and we are happy TO say that a
Barbecue will probably come of on the
fourth, notwithstanding the gloomy pros
pect up TO the time ofour last weeks
issue. Some, we understand, have cen
sured US for the remarks made in our pa
per last week, in relation 10 the defGnct
barbecue. To such we have only TO say,
that we did not make those remarks I'M
advisedly. w made inquiry of sundry
gentlemen, and among them were some
Two or three of the com,aittee of ar
rangcments, and we could not learn from
any quarter, that any efficient steps
were being taken in the matter at all
and we more readily come 10 the cOnclu-
sion that the thing had failed, from the
fact that there was no unanimity Of feel
ing from the first. And further--we had
not forgotten the hurra Of last year, when
the whole country were invited, in 9
flaming announcement made through the
columns of the Radical, &c "come ant
partake of milk and honey, without mo
ney and without pricc"-and what did i
amount to? We will tell you. 1t 81
happened that some two or three of or
citizens had determined to attend 4 bar
becue given at Auburn, some twenty
two miles distant-eTgO-ours must b.
Northumberland so it was-and so
would have been again this year, but foI
the remarks made by us last week
Notwithstanding the thing fell through
last year clearly from a want ofthat pub
lie spirit and concert Of action which
are the only sure guarantees for the sue
cess of any enterprise of the kind. ant
with these facts before us-though W
regret it row-we made what We con
sidered a very smooth apology for tn
committee arrangements, and we hav'
no doubt that they were highly gratifc'
that we were simple enough to do SO
But on this occasion, our apology has no
been SO favorably received, and we mus
say, in view of the whole proceeding
that we don't much care.
In justice to a portion of Il citizens
we ,.'eem it proper to remark that ther'
are ma,,y who do not fall under the impu
tation of a want of public spirit, and
proper regard for the character and in
terests of the town; and we are contiden
that all such will rightly appreciate on
