Tho reading OF the Declaration was
most admirably done, and ELECTED the
praises Of all who heard it.
The Oraiion by Mr.. Stone fully sus-
tanned the reputation of the speaker for
pure and lofty eloquence, as sound rea-
soner, and a talented and efficien' cler-
gyman. TWAS just what it should have
been, and was listened TO with deep in.
terest and admiration by one OF the
largest assemblies ever convened in that
church.
The. procession was then formed in
order, and proceeded TO the beautiful
grove near the residence Of Solomon
Marsh, Esq, one mile north of the Court
House, under the direction Of the Chief
Marshal andMarshals who were mounted
upon elegant horses and distinguished
by white sash passing over the shoIder
of each, in addition to the ordinary rega-
liza of the Order. These officers per~
formed their duty nobly-and are worthy
of special praise for their successful et-
ferris in preserving the utmost order and
dccorum 10 forming and directing the
movements of the procession. The line
extended nearly hNlf mile in length
or, in other words, when tho front ranks
had gained the grove the rear could be
seen turning the corner near the residence
OF Stephen Deming, Esq, at the head OF
North street.
AT the grove, we found the extensive
tables which had been prepared for the
occasion, not only loaded with provisions
but beautifully decorated with oil manner
ofovcrgreens, boque,s, wreaths, flower

They believed with Willis, that "lhe gen

breathe the pure spirit oflove to oil they
make the eye brighter, the spirit colmer,
the heart warmer"
