Amongst these various societies, the mos con-
spiouous were the body Of Turner'S, and the Pro-

peculiar kind of dress. The latter carried tho
American flag, besides which we observed an i'm
mense red iiag. Having arranged themselves into
order, they proceeded down Barclay street to the
Hoboken Ferry, while the bands Of music played
stirring march. When they arrived at Hoboken.
they marched in the same order to the Elysias
belds, where large numbers had already congre-
gated. and where nothing but benches were seen.
loaded with almost every species Of eatabes We
also observed several new flags and number Of
shields, hung around upon the trees, with the fol-

fathcrland, forget not your old home" NC The
procession having reached the platform, which
tasteftlly decorated with fresh budding
branches, and around which were placed the va

the festival, that the assembly could now refresh

great rejoicing-as one at which every freeman's
heart must papitate with transports Of Joy. Yet the
felicity Of the hour is marrtd by the thought OF
having lost a fatherland-by the recollection Of on
countrymcn being tied down with the iron chains
Of bondage. Yet the happy day will dawn-and
