FOURTH OF JULY.-The several Temperance
Societies in this county contemplate celebrating
the approaching Anniversary of our National
Independence, in true temperance style, on Sat-
urday next, the Sd instant. We understand that
ample preparations are being made TO accommo-
date all who feel desrous &c attend. The process.
SIGN will be formed at the Methodist Episcopal
Church in this place, at 12 o'clock, and, under
the direction Of the Marshals Of the day, will
march to the Presbyterian Church, where the
Declaration Of Independence will be read and an
Grafton delivered. Measures will afterwards be
brought before the assembly for the promotion of
the temperance cause. lii desirable that a full
delegation from the several Societies in the coun-
~ be in attendance; as the business to be trans
acted is Of the utmost importance, and general
expression Of sentiment from all the friends of
the cause is desirable.
We baeve that this is the only celebration in
the county; and those who desire TO commemo-
rato the birthday Of American freedom, will re-
ceve from our citizens cordial welcome and
ahospablo reception.

RETURN OF THE VoLUNTEERS.-We notice in
our exchanges accounts of the return of the vol
unteers from Mexico. The returning regiments
are, in most instances, mere wrecks of the well
filled ranks that departed from their homes, little
more than year ago, blessed with health and
lofty aspirations. Some regiments have dwin.
died down TO one-lhrd Of the number with which
they left their country, while the most fortunate
have lost nearly one-half of their men! Of the
$4,000 volunteers who departed for Mexico in
1846, barely 10000 have lived to return to their
homes, and large proportion of this remnant

Wing ArDREss.-ln another column will be
found the address Of the Wing State Central
Commiuee. ltis an article that speaks for itself
that will not fail to attract the attention of the
reader. The annual election is coming on apace,
and, as yet, very lule has been said upon the
subject. The political sea of Ohio has enjoyed
a long calm,--for months scarcely breeze has
rufIled its tranquil surface. This cannot long
continue. LuIe more than three months now
remains to organize and prepare for the contest
Is it not, therefore, time TO commence the work
to lay out the labor that is to be performed-o
examine the course that has 10 be travelled! A
prudent workman never commences u job in a
hurry; he examines and prepares his toos--Iays
of his systematically, and completesh un-
derlaking, at u specified time, with ease to him
self, and to the satisfaction Of hisempoyer while
less prudent workman, for want of few hours
reflection, spends weeks of hard and incessant
labor, and at length fails to complete his task, al
though he had sufficient time and strength 10 ac-
compish it. The one first considers what he has
TO do, and then goes 10 work and does III the
ohor goes to work without consideration, and is
surprised at meeting with difficulties that few
moments fore-lhought would have avoided, but
which the most diIigent labor is not sufficient to
overcome. The same causes have the same ei-
facts in politics. If party is perfectly organi-
zcd lis work laid off, and each laborer ready to
perform his share, nothing but deficiency in its
numerical force can prevent its success while if
these things are wanting, party inferior in num-
Der, but superior in spirit, can easily effect its
overthrow. The Wings Of Carroll and of the
State have the power 10 secure brilliant triumph
at The approaching election. Will they 60 10
work and obtain it! or will they. through their
supinoness, suffer others 10 pluck the laurel from

The Ono PATRIoT-JUDGE PEARcE.-The ed.
iior of the Ohio Patriot has again commenced the
dirty work of abusing Judge Pearce. Like the
practised slandorer, he prefers no charges. These
could be easily metOnd disproyed, and are, there
fore, not suitable for his uirtuouS purpose an in
snuation, a nod, or suspicious surmise are
weapons more suitable 10 his taste, and in more
strict accordance with his manly principles. A
charge might afterwards prove unpleasant to its
author, but an insinuation, whilst ii creates a sus.
picion,-toruros the noblest Of hearts, and FIRE.
quenlIy sewers the most intimate friends, con-
'ains nothing to disprove,--nothing specific or
tangible. 1t is the invarable weapon of the cow
ard, whose best friends never accused him of en-
teraning one generous sentiment, and whose
highest ambition is to bring others down to his
own level; and who that has ever become ac-
quainted with the editorial productions Of the
Patriot man, can, for moment, doubt the pro.
priety of his using it! The reptile that is COM
PEELED to cra'Cl through the world, holds ,calking
in perfect adherence. The rapingS of the Pa
triot remind US Of the fox who lost his tail in
a trap, and then endeayorcd to convince the whole
tribe Of foxes that tails were extremely unlash.
ionable and dunbecoming. We arenot aware that
he succeeded in convincing so cunning an ami.
NAL as the fox that its tail was an unnecessary
appondagc, though some geese were taken in by
the cheat.
We have carefully examined the several arli.
cles in the Patriot, and the only item of COM
plant, put inatangibe shape. omporlantCact
that there was ssuch an immense amountof business
before the court that il was unable 10 complete
its labor in two weeks This is astonishing!-|
1t shows that there is something "rotten in Den
mark" but whether the fault lays with Judge
Pearce, or with the good people of Columbiana,
who create such an amount Of business for the
court, is a question on which the editor of the
Patriot and other people, fully as intelligent as
himself, may, with Propriety, differ in opinion.
'Tis remarkably strange that inthe other coun-
ties in the circuit The Judge discharges the duties
Of his important Office to the entire satisfaction of
all concerned, and that the only croakings that
have come to our knowledge, are uttered by the
sensitive editor Of the Ohio Pariotand other such
''pinks Of perfection" residing in Now Lisbon.
