The Celebration.


There never was more beautiful day than
the 4th, and indeed that is always a fine day /.
The sun shone forth and smiled most brill.
iantly and brightly upon this little lump of
dust we inhabit. The morning air was mild
and refreshing. Atthe rising Of the sun the
glorions 'sst,ipes and STARS" were run up to
the tune of the "Star Spangled Banner" AT
10 O'Clock the procession was formed and
IparchM to the Church, where they listened
to an le and eloquent address from the Rev.
3. E. ArwArER; and after the services had
closed at 1.-THE Church, the procession was
again formed, and marched to the Court
House. &s ,U3tS g.
The town was full Of people from abroad.
Not an accident occurred during the whole
day. and every thing went off right except
the dinner, we had no public dinner. That
was decidedly wrong. We want to see on
such occasions string Of vic:uals as long as
from our santum to the burnt district.

The Tomb Of the Hermitage.

The following is the very beautiful
and eloquent conclusion Of the Hon. B.
F. Buffers oration, at the recent cele-
bration Of the funeral obsequies Of Gen.

"'rhe valley Of the Mississippi, the the

at would indeed surprise VS. il an
Englishman and journalist did not con-
tend earnestly for the supremacy and
rights, real or imaginary. Of his own
country; but defections OF this sort IN
the American press occur SO frequent>
ly as to excite no special wonder.
We do know of journals that are
Recognized leaders in political circles.
that have never yet, since we were
old enough oregard such things, taken
the part Of the American government
lin any quarrel it has had with foreign
onesEiournaIs that made it their busi-
ness to assail our government in its con-
FtroFersy with France, in its troubles.
with England, in its difficulties with
Mexico, on the right ofsearch questions
on boundaries, and even condemned the
chastisements that were inflicted upon
abarbarous and cannibal islanders, who
massacrcd our merchant sailors in dis
tant seas. These are melancholy truths.
1t is not possible that the United States
can always be in the wrong; but ac-
cording TO those journalists, we are
never Iight.-Our real rights are
treated by them as imaginary and inn
aginary ones are scoffed at. We are
not obspect to the acquisition ofaterri-
tory, or the conduct Of our foreign re-
jecting to legitimate differences ofopn-
ion in relations; we allude to bona fide
quarrels-such as seen likely to rise
in regard to Oregon, such as took place
in the Schlosser affair, such as threat
ened war in the regard 10 the nayiga,
ton of the African seas, such as the
hasetisement of the cannibals Of Quail
lah Battoo, such as the coercion OF the
French indemnity, such as arose ou'
of Neopolitan .spoiliations, such as
come upon US on account efthe seizure
and liberation of our slaves by the in
habitants of Nassau, and other British
West India dependencies. such as
spring up inthe exercise Of the right Of
search, such as threaten usin the triple
conspiracy OF England, Mexico and
France Gas now supposed, touching AM
nexation, such in fact, as arise out ofany
possible aggression Of England, and
conceivable assumption Of Europe, or
any imaginable conduct Of Christian,
Pagan, civilized or savage nations.
We are persuaded that the Tropic has
sympathized with our modification,
many times, in noticing the derelic.ions
Of which we speak; and mole especial
ly must our friends lament with us that
SO many Of our contemporaries never
saw the slightest objection to the allu-
sion in Mr.. Folks inangular to the Or.
egon question. that all this dust is
raised about, until they get the cue from
the British press" h7
There is the true tone manfully spo-
ken. There is a heavy blow struck on
the right side with a down right good
will, which shows that the heart of a
patriot was in it. GstFs

From the Mobile Register.
The Whig Press and American Rights.

The New Orleans Picayune speaks
out with strong and manly Ameri-
can. tone, in reply 10 The insolence Of
the British press, on the Oregon ques-
,ion, and in defiance Of the censures Of
that portion Of the American press
which apoligises for, or sides with the
British system' Of attack upon Presi-
dent Polk. Wings, as the editors of
that paper are, one of them too whig
who has done as gallant and eloquent
service to his party, & enjoys as much
Of their admiration as any man south of
Kentucky, they have discarded with
noble scorn the memory even of the
party bias which have placed them in
domestic opposition TO Mr. Polk, and
discourse with the soul of patriots for
their country and its cause, and the ad-
ministration Of its government as main.
tanning the cause Of the country.
The Iropic, it seems, undertook to
dissent like one Of our neighbors, from
the freedom with which the picayune
discusses the a5usivcness ofthe Euro
pean Times. and half apologised for the
editor because he is an Englishman,
and because it is but natural he should
contend honestly and earnestly for
the supremacy and rights, real OF i'm
aginary, Of his own country"
The Picayune answers this in a
trenchant way,which cuts deeply, while
it defends succcssfully.-The European
Times is not solely a British paper,
edited by Englishmen, but was got up
Iexpressly for American circulation, and
with profession that il was to be pa
/ per Of commercial and general intelli-
fgence for readers on this side of the
Atlantic. He is British editor, a.
tvowedly taking to Americans, in the
Language which is excused because il
is natural to be addressed to Britisl,
subiects-Butt the sting Of the reply, moi
10 the Tropic whose Americanism will
stand fire, but some leading presses ol
the whig party, Of which the National
Intelligencer may be taken as an ex-
tample, consists in the scornful tlenunei.
(ations which we copy here. The text
Fis this. The Tropic had said OF Will
mer & Smiths European Tmse&
%"Thc editor is an Englishman, ane
we are sure no one would more hear
THY despise him than our friends OF the
Picayune, If he did-not contend honest,
ly and eal nesily for tho supremacy ane
rights, real OF imaginary, Of bis owr
country" aif4

On The eve Of the great day which is
consecrated to the independence of our
country, (says the Washington Union
of Thnrsday,) we hail the reunion OF
Texas with the United States. We
will now tread tile road OF freedom and
greatness together This news comes
10 us by the Prin ceton steamer, which
arrived at Annapolis to-day at 2 o.
clock. DR.. Wright brings the des-.
patches from Annapolis. He left Wash
ington, Texas, on the 2lst Of juno, and
arrived at Galveston on the 23d, Or
which day the Princeton left that place.
We are favored by the Doctor with
the following memoranda:
"Thc United States ship Princeton,
Commodore Stockton, arrived at An
napolis from Galveston. Texas, after
the short passage Of nine days, having
consumed only 93 tons Of coal. She
steamed against head winds, with the
exception of only 80 hours, when she
was assisted by her sails. No Allan
1tic steamer has ever made so good an
hourly average, considering all the
circumstances, it may be regarded as
an unprecedented passage. I
"The news brought by the Princeton
is Of the most interesting cha5acter-
Both Houses Of the Texian Congress-
have unanimously consented to the
terms ofthe joint resolution ofthe. UNI

the treaty with Mexico by a unani-
nous vote. Capt. Waggaman had
arrived at Washington, Texas. To- Sc
lect posts to be occupied by TIM United
States troops and to provide for their,
subsistence. n
a resolution was introduced into both
houses Of Congress, requiring the
(executive to surrender all posts, navy
yards. barracks, SC, to the proper au--
lthorities Of the United States. The
JOINT resolutions were introduced into
both houses on the same day, and were
almost identical in their tenor. The
Resolutions passed the Senate ON the.
rsth Of June, and were sent to the
House; the House laid them on the Ia
bic, and passed their own resolutions
unanimously, and sent them to tha
Senate on the next day.
In the mean time, considerable ieal.
lousy arose as to which branch should
claim the honor Of the paternity Of tho
resolutions; and it was finally scttled
THAT the House should take up the res.
oiutions' ofihc Senate, and amend them
lin the third section. The House then
passed them in their present form, and
