Anniversary Of independence.

This mornings sun lights up the Seventy
Third Anniversary Of our National Independ
ence. Seventy. three years ago this day, q ban'
of Patriots,i in the capacity of Colonial Represen
tatives, declared to the world the first dawnins
| existence of our fair Republic! A new sta
was then added to the Galaxy Of Nations:-1
star, which has shone with increasing splendo1
and brilliancy, till its rays now penetrate the
remotest corners of the inhab itable globe, anc
most distant nations feel and acknowledge the
potency Of its benign virtues.
AS an appropriate offering for the anniversa
ry so dear to the whole American family, we
present to our, readers History of the great
DECLARATION, which has conferred Immortality
on the DAY, and made it sacred with the friends
of Public Liberty, Throughout the world.
As a suitable accompaniment for that His.
tory, and tribute worthy too, of the occasion
we subjoin the solemn and impressive testimo.
ny of veneratcd signer of the instrument,
then the only survivor Of the noble band, in
affirmation Of the blessings which it had con-
ferred on his country, fifty years after he uffi x
ed his name to it, and pledged for it "his life
his fortune, and his sacred honor"
In the year 1926, after ALL save one, of tn 9
band Of Patriots whose signatures are borne ON
the Declaration of Independence, had descend
cd to the tomb, and the venerable C.rnoL1, 4
lone RENAME! among the living, the govern
ment of the City Of New York deputcd com
mittee to wait on the lluslrious survivor, and
obtain from him, for deposite in the public hail
Of the City, a copy Of tho Declaration of l776,
graced and authenticated anew with his sign
manuel. The aged patriot y ie|dcd to the re-
quest, and affixed, with his own hand, to a CO.
Ply Of that instrument, the grateful, solemn,
and pious supplemental Declaration which fol-
lows:
"Grateful to ALMIGHTY COP for the bless.
ings which, through Jesus Christ our Lord :,
he has onferred on my beloved country in her
emancipation, ana on myself, in permitting me,
under circumstances Of mercy, to live to the
age Of 80 years, and to survive the fiftieth year
Of American Independence, and certify by my
present signature my appreciation OF the Dec
laraton of independence adopted by Congress
on the 4th Of July, l776, which | originally
subscribed the I'd day Of August of the sum c

signer, do hereby recommend to the present

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The proceedings Of the Democratic State
Convention, which assembled at Iowa City
on the 23th uIt. have not yet reached U.s.
We have learned by the Delegates from
this county, that the following named indi.
vduals were nominated, as candidates for
the Board of Public Works. viz for Prcsi-
dent, Gen. William Patterson flee county
for Secretary Jesse Williams, Esq, ocJ ohm
son county, for Treasurer, G Gorge Gilaspy
Esq. of Marion county.
No member ofthe Democratic party, who
knows any thing ofthc history of these mer
can fail to be delighted with the doings o
the convention.
The candidates presented, are men o
sterling worth. They have been citizen:
of the State for long time, and have won
for themselves individually, an enviable rep
utation, by their devotion to the true prin
cipes Of Democracy.
They have never wandered in by and for
hidden paths, or suffered themselves to lose
sight Of principle, in the vain desire to graf
| ify selfish or sectional ambition.
We pledge to them hearty support, by
the Democracy of the north, and a trium
plant election on the first Monday of Au
gust.
