of the upper decimal class are averse to
use them for that purpose. They have no
objection to amble along Broadway az

the country and ask them to breast with
you the mountain side and they decline,
with a delicate shudder, considering you
a sort Of Caliban for having made such
an indclicate proposition. The notion

Glad were we when, late in the night
of the Glorious Fourth,

Glad were we when, late in the night
of the Glorious Fourth,
silence like poul,ce came to heal the blows Of sound
But silence, alas! is not a poultice that
will heal the blows Of powder; and there
are at this moment hundreds suffering
fearful agony from their teur de jois on
Thursday last.
The hbations poured on Liberty's al
tar during the day, if they could have
been gathered into one huge tank might
have foated a couple of frigates; and il
the deviations from right line caused
by these libations could have been strung
together, they would probably reached
across the Atlantic. We are fond oi
statistics, and if our readers doubt this
calculation let them send in their own
estimates.
1t is difficult TO statisticise the head
aches, but if condesed into one mass,
they might have sutiiced to furnish sub
jects for dozen lunatic asylums and q
goodly number Of graves, although,
from their general diffusion, the conse-
quences were less deplorable. Then
there were droppings down in the street
from over-excitement, fatigue, and the
effects Of the blazing sun, and various
accidents by land and water, caused by
overcrowding steamboats,, cars, etc
All this is not rejoicing--is not rafiona
enjoument. 1t would be Of little use tc
say so before the Fourth but thous-
ands will agree with US, now that the
turmoil, noise, heat, and accidents o.
the day are over.
We hold that our people, claiming tc
be, and being, the most independent ane
original thinkers in the world, shoulc
strike out some new way of celebrating
great events. Why should we copy the
old stereotyped dumb show and noise
of the European festivals, and make
the day which designates the commence
ment Of new political and moral era
an era which, next to that upon which
dawned the light Of true religion, wat
the grandest recorded in the book o

African OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Doug
lass and The Tribune.

Mr. Frederick Douglass saw fit to animad
vert, during the recent Anti-Slayery meet
ings in our City, on some remarks in
favor of African Colonization in our col
umns. We did not reply at the time, for
obvious reasons but Mr.. Douglass's strict
ures have since been formally reported in
The Anti- Slarery Standard, and we choose
to consider them. So far as they refer to
the case in hand, they read thus:
81 feel that it is due to you and to myself to
prove nay first assertion that we are not only an
enslaved. bat a slandered people, everywhere
spok en- against as low, vicious and degraded inca
pable of elevation and improvement The press
of this and other cities have expressed themselves
TO this effect We have been declared too low in
the scale Of humanity, and we have been haunting.
~ asked, Why we don't leave this country and do
something to show ourselves menl And this has
been asked by the Nep- York Tribune, a paper
from which we might expect anything else. 1t
would be presuming too much on the ignorance of
the editor OF The Tribune to suppose that he does
not know why We ought to leave this country,
where are sold like beasts in the market, strip
ped of our rights and privileges, and our names,
which may be inscribed on the Lambs Book Of
Life, sacriegiously placed on the ledger.
Wherever we move, We are confronted by an
almost invincible and overwhelming prejudice, that
crushes our spirits and prevents as making that
progress which those gentlemen taunt us with the
want Of say to Mr.. Greeley, and all others who
taunt us thus-Remove the obstacles that lie in
our path. DO not wish to be dsrespectfui to any
man, although have a name for using harsh Ian
guage Those who ask us why we don't learn
trades or do something To make ourselves respect
able do not seem 20 knew the difficulties under
which the negro labOrs from day to day. When
was slave in the South, and the property of Capt
/ Aud, earned for that dear man about 50 a week,

were as white as his. But the moment landed
/ in New Bedford, eleven years ago, and asked for
employment was told by an anti-Slavery ship
builder there, who had a vessel on the stocks 10 De
caulked that If he should even venture to send me
on that ship, every white man would leave him,
and he could not get her resdy for sea. Go where
would, eoald not get employment at my trade.
Mr.. Douglass would here seem to be
showing why the children Of Africa sojourn
ing in this country should not embark in
Colonization, either on the West coast o.
Africa or any where else. But do his fact,
point to, much less warrant any such con
olusioni He says his Race are wronged

D,sastrous Break In the Erie Canal.

By Spssial Dspdteh 70 The Tribune
ROCHESTER. (N.Y.) Wednesday Morning, May o.
The great Embankment on the Erie Canal near
Bushnelrs Basin gave way last night, and was
washed down for forty or fifty rods in extent and
GAv or sixty feet in depth. The Superintendent
has set to work vigorously to stop it, but this Is
very bad break
THE incessant rains Of the month now closing
must Try severely Canals, Railroads Mill dams
SC. Probably the loss Of property throughout the
country by the foods of this month will exceed
s. 600 900 The Embankment above spoken OF IS
rbe most formidable on our Erie and perhaps on any
If opr Canals. and we fear the delay and expense
created by this break will be severely feh How
ever the vicinity to Rochester will ensure an
abundance oflabor and materials for iti prompt re-
rsration.-Ed Trlbl

the Monarchists of all hues some
four hundred But out of these four hun
dred there must be many who will SHRINK
before the agitation this measure is causing
throughout France, and before the worse
things that may ensue after it. But us
doubtful whether there will be enough oil
these to preyentthe passage Of the bill, urged
AZ tits with all the influence and all the head
long zeal Of the Government, and the leaders
of all the monarchical factions who are &C
customed to destroy Governments, and as
pire vet once more to plunge France into the
revolutionary abyss. AT every such ia'ai
moment as the present crazy Government
has always found crazier majority IN the
Legislature TO help it on toward ruin. IL Is
therefore probable that the law will be
adopted.
In that case the remedy recommended y
the Socialist journals is a universally or
ganized refusal Of the taxes. They would
have the people in every part Of the couh-
try solemnly declare that until the share IN
the Government which the Constitution guar
antees to every citizen is restored to them'
they will pay no contribution toward pubhe
exnenses. If such refusal could be 50 Or
oanized as to include large majority OF
taxpayers, it must be efhcacious, Tor tn,
taxes could not be collected against the will
of the nation, and without them the Govern
ment would soon reach the end Of its tether.
The measure is revolutionary, but not
warhke, one, and more difficult to consum-
mate than battle in the streets of the Cap
ital, where unity and enthusiasm soon car
~ the day, especially as the troops cannot
be relied on against the citizens. But Its
difficulty among a spontaneous and mag
netic people like the French would be tar
less than with colder and less active race.
If it has to be tried, we shall have faith in
its efficacy.
II is a strange spectacle which is present
ed by the present attitude of the French
Government They are just where Charles
X was in 1880 and Louis Philippe and Gui-
zot in l848. They are repeating their mad
ness with as much confidence as though
there were no law of cause and effect. The
past has taught lessons to others but not to
them; and they gamble with the destiny of
an empire and never give thought to the
fools who have played the same dreadful
game before them, or to the nation who
have had to pay its losses. BY what mys-
terious fate is it that France is once more
threatened with the fiery trials she has so
often had to suffer No doubt above all
the changes in the drama rules the Supreme
Providence butitis certain that the imme-
date agents in the tragedy are the Wicked
ness and the folly of men whom selfish am
bition, combined with terror at the Coming
Age of Social Justice and Democracy, have
made blind, headstrong and furious.
