see no reason why it should be prohibited. The

| tery at o'clock this morning The military have
their parades Societies Of all kinds their excursions
and festivities, weary workmen like ourself a days
rest, and the nation another goriication. Another
stose is placed upon the rising fabric Of her power
not another nail driven into her coffin, as soma
would solemEy have as believe Spite OF fruitless
struggles and battling delays the nation goes for
ward and not backwarl. There is slow but
steady advance, however sincere and earnest pa

the past year which strengthens our hope and
prompts our gratitude. At such time our recol-
lections should be all pleasant our aspirations all
bright and joyful There is time enough in the re-
mainderof the year for our anxietes, our fears and
our regrets-the event we celebrate is one Of pure
rejoicing.
Today the national marches will be heard and
the nations prosperity pledged, not alone within
the compass Of the Thirty Sovereign States, who
have sprung from the little confederscy Of seventy
four years ago. Along nearly two thousand miles
Of the Pacific shore the American Flag viii wave
over American soil, and cur brethren will Join in
the festival Under the palm groves Of the Isthmus
amid the ice Ct the Antartic winter and the un-
resting gales of Cape Horn-beneath the breeze
less Gains Of the mid Pacifc-and among the green
islands Of the Indian Archipelago there will be
cheers and the music Of national airs salutes for
the "Old Thirteen and the Thirty Of 1850, with
one more for California And this is the only re.
greet which We cannot lay aside on this day-that
the thirty first gun fred at Monterey on the 18th of
October last will not be recchoed here.
Next year let US hope that the Free and Inde.
pendent States of California and New Mexico may
unite with US in a glsdder and better festival Our
country-that Mother of mighty race" soSobly
sung by Bryant-would rejoice through all her
twenty millions of children, over such consumma-
ton. Then, we might more truly apply to her the
poets enthusiastic anticipation:
thine eye, with every coming hour
Shall brighten, and thy form shall tower:
And when thy sisters elder-boru,
Would brand thy name with words OF scoTn,
Before thine eye
Upon their lips the taunl shall die"
