disposition on their part to attend, but they 4
give definite answer until they could have
meeting Of their companies, which would take
place as soon possible. The late period at which
il was determined the ceremony should take place
has prevented arrangements which would no doubt
have been made by the major part of our military;
they have now, for the most part, made other en-
gagements, which they cannot easily break; and
If the display there should be small it must be at
tributed to that fact. We think there will probably
be three companies on the ground, if not more. IL
is unfortunate too that those companies which had
determined not TO parade the Fourth have parted
with their music, which has been engaged for the
various steamboat excursions.
To those who desire trip to Washington the
occasion is a most inviting Apart from any
other consideration, it is worth the trip to hear the
Grafton of Daniel Webster, which will doubtless
be one of the greatest efforts of that great states
