4Tu OF JrLy-lt Is a common prac-
tce of the corps editorial on the annual
return Of the great days of'the year, to
devote an article to such thoughts as the
occasion naturally suggests. TO apolit-
zeal editor the anniversary Of this Repub.
lies birthday awakcns myriad host Of
thoughts which might with propriety
occupy his leading column. The past
history Of our land comes wildly up
the oppression endured by our fathers
ere they struck for irecdom-their valor
and endurance during the great struggle
the hardsbips they endured-their
integrity and patriotsm-thelr wisdom
in the formation of the government-thc
course and growth of our country thus
iar-ils present ondition-its future pros
pects-thc result Of its example upon the
old world. And here thought runs back
TO France and bows acknowledgement
tor the aid she gave us in the dark hour
OF our trial, and follows her in her
strange course of glory and Madness
through her seasons Of prosperity and
wild unrest, and hovers over her in her
present mysterious state Of confusion
and dIscord.
But instead of chapter on any Of
these texts we have preferred 10 give
what is far better, 'thc Declaration Of In
dependence" and "Hail Columbia" to
which our readers are referred.
There is one thing, however, which
seems suitable to alludc to, and which
is matter of rejoicing to those who en-
terrain the spirit of the olden days orthr
Republic We refer to the determine
ton evinced on the part OF the people
to elevate to the highest Office in the
land, the noble yet unassumlng Taylor
the second ashington," who cschcw
ing the bitterness Of party, would imi-
tate the example of the Father OF his
Country, and administer the Government
on the principles of the Constitution
Sa oh seems now to be the prospect, and
in view thereof we extend the hand OF
graduation to our numerous readers,
