The Fourth OF Julyl

Once more we hail the return of Free

John Adams exclaim. as with prophetic
eye he looked through the storms of the
Revolution to the peaceful skies beyond,
"This day shall be ushered in with shouts
and rejoicings. with bon6res and illumin-
ations!" Of all others. it is day to be
remembered and venerated by every
American-and long may it be ere we
cease to note its return with demonstra-
tons Of Joy and thankfulness.

noble band Of patriots assembled in In
dependence Hall. Philadelphia. placed
their names to the solemn Declaration
which forever absolved these colonies
from the oppression and protection Of the
British Lion. and thereby pledged "their
lives, their fortunes, and their sacred hon.
ors," in defense Of the great psinciples
Of that declaration. To realize in their
full force the fearful responsibilities and
hazards Of this decisive step on the part
Of the colonies. we must remember their
weakness and the strength Of Britain
their divisions and her union-their des-
titution of an organized general govern
ment, and she with Government which
had been strengthening and consolidating
for centuries. The sovreigns and mill.
ltary men Of Europe laughed At the folly
and presumption of the Americans for
making what they regarded as such a
fool-hardy attempt; many Of the states.
men Of our country thought the blow
had at least been prematurely struck
the people Of the South in particular had
scarcely begun to think of q severance
from the mother country. but only sough,

LIER'S PARTY.

A letter rece' we'd this morning from q
member of Golfers party. dated Blue

on fine horses, with good saddles and
equipage, have each rifle and pair Of

mutually pleased with their principal.
and SO far, have enjoyed their journey
extremely. They are in the highlands.
where the air is pure, so that they are
beyond the cholera-have had no symp.
toms, and do not deem themselves in
danger. They find the grass sufficient
for their horses and the large train Of
mules which accompanies them, so that
all are in q thriving condition. The
letter states that, from what they have
been able to learn. there is NO ground for
apprehension Of danger from the In
dians.-Ohio Sta.s Journal.
A despatch from St. Louis. dated the
22d inst. p. M. says: Late accounts

was creeping towards the rOck TO catch the
male zebra which brought up the rear Of the
herd. The lion sprang and missed his mark,
he fell short with only his head over the
edge Of the rock, and the zebra galloped
away, switching his tail in tho air, AL
though the object of his pursuit was gone,
the lion tried the. leap on the rock second
and third time, ill he succeeded. During
this, two more lions came up and jnined
the first lion. They seemed TO be talking.
for they roared a great deal to each other
and then the first lion led them round the
rock again. He then made another gran1
leap. to show what he and they must do
