The celebration in this city all that the most
sanguine could have wished. The arrangements OF the
committee were efficiently carried out in all the details
For several DAYS previous the sky overcast, and
the morning dawned in thick mist and watery vapor.
The bells rung and the cannon fired. old John Adams
prediction was fulfilled for the seventy-fourth time
About nine o'clock the sung broke through the clouds
and dispersed all gloom; as il Providence smiled be-
necentv upon the JOY that the recoectons of the day
walked in the hearts of the people.
The regular services of the day commenced at eleven
O'Clock "a procession formed under the direction
of Col. JAMES EsTABRooK as Chief Marshal, escorted
BY the Light Infantry, Capt. LAMB and after march
ing around the Common entered the Old South Church

araton of independence first read in this town, in
1776.

Hon. CHARLES THURBER then, for some forty Eve
minutes entertained the audience with Poein written
for the OCCASION in which he took poets license to
tell some plain truths in very pointed His
hits were s' slashes at life with free penc'' The in
terest in the Poem kept up till the close when the
poet greeted with round of applause There
several passages, of great force and beauty, which
should be pleased topublish.
The following original Ode, written for the occasion
by Mr.. THURBER, and adapted to music by Mr.. A. S.
ALLEN, then sung
When Freedoms sres in council met
And said, in thunder tones "were free,
They walked note whose echoes yet,
Are heard DER every land and sea;
And, till old time shall cease his march,
And earth shall pass like dews, away,
Those shouts will rise, and yonder arch
Will ring on Freedoms hallowed day.
At notes sweet, elastic France
Sprang up and md Slavery flew;
And Germany yet shall seize her lance
And pierce old Tyranny through and through;
The bleeding heart of rampled Rome
Shall swell and throb with merrier beat;
The Russian bear shall tamely
And crouch at ransomed Hungary's feet
Green Erin, in her triple chain,
Shall snap it off and more;
And martyr'd Poland rise again,
And thrust her murderers from her door;
And bleeding Spain, that signs and weeps,
Shall fell her tyrants at blow;
And Cuba where Columbus sleeps,
shall start and be heaven below.
Hail lovely land that gave us BIRTH
Thy bounties-how divine they be
There Is no verdant spot of earth,
That thrills not when it thinks ofthee;
And oft as Freedoms morn shall shne
twill pencil on the eastern sky,
Where sorrows sons may read the line
REJOICE for your redemptions nigh"
After the Benedicton, invoked by Rev. MIR. Smith
the procession, escorted by the Light Infantry, marche
to the dinner, provided by John Wright.
