DIED-In this City, early on Tuesday

THoMAs PORTER MAJOR, aged years,
youngest son Of Capt Thos. P. Major, Of

The deceased was young man of con-
siderable sprighlliness and promise, and
was deservedly iayorile with his cirIe Of

a shining mark, our young friend escaped

To day is the great National Aniversa-
ry of our country. which should be observ.
ed with gratitude and pride by free and
intelligent people. Seventy two years
ago. the fathers OF the Revolution entered
into the compact which made US nation.
and which has been an inestimable bless
ing to mankind, in the extension OF Free
dom and by affording the oppressed ofev-
cry nation, homo.
On each return of this day, the mind of
every American is carried back to the
contemplation ofthe brave deeds of those
immortal men who shed their blood to
strike off the despotie yoke of tyranny,
which great Britain endeavored to inflict
upon them. 1t is fit time to call to mind
those everything principles which makes
this day immortal in the memory of patri.
ots-the principles of selEgovernment and
the freedom of conscience and of thought.
During the past year, results Of great
moment have transpired in this Republic.
A war. which, for the briIliancy of its
campaigns and the success Of arms on our
part, is unequalled, has been brought to a
close. We are, now, at peace with all
nations, and it should be the true policy
and the steadfast aim of our government
to remain so. if we can do it, and prevent
the encroachment of our national rights,
and honor. Over twenty millions of free.
men welcome the anniversary of our ma
lional independence.
The attitude of our country ia respect
to the revolutions which now threaten the
Old World, is worthy Of consideration. -
The seeds OF freedom that have been
sown here, have extended and taken firm
root beyond the Atlantic. Plenty smiles
upon our favored land, and our people are
happy. Dur institutions are in harmony
with these great gifts which Providence
has bestowed upon US. May the people
of this Republic be still influenced by the
same spirit which governed our revolu.
sionary sires, and our coontry remain
free and united.
