Tho Fourth OF July.

From the Newport (R. ~ Nesos.
Itwould be well for the people of this country, in
every city, town. and village, to celebrate the ap-
preaching anniversary of the Republic in an appro
pirate and earnest manner. The spirit of disunion
is too rife among US, in all parts of the country
seeds of dissension have been widely sown for
time past, and we may yet reap the bitter fruit.
With dishonest Free-soilers at the North, who are
harping about slavery only for the political capital
which they can make out of it. and discontinued
and fractions shareholders at the South, who are
constantly imagining insults and seeking for in
juries, the true patriots and Union men Of the
United States have no light or easy duty to per-
form. Our independence was achieved at too high
price, and our glorious institutions were secured
at too great sacrices, and by the shedding of too
much pure and patriotic blood. to permit either to
be endangered by the mad fanaticism-of any por-
ton Of the people this country particularly when
the number is so comparatively email as in the
All true hearted men, who are sincere in their
professions will not only talk and write and make
speeches in favor of tho Union, but they will act
firmly, strongly, and boldly, in favor Of the Union
made in behalf Of the States as they are, and
trust in God they will always remain.
We should like to all true patriots. all decided
and devoted Union men, a:senbed in their respec-
tive cities, towns, and villages, on the coming
Fourth of july there to celebrate the return of the
nations birthday, and there, in the temples of
God, to swear new and stronger allegiance to the
country which gave them birth, or which has taken
them BY adoption. Such course would arouse
fresh and holier feelings in every heart, and it
would create purer and stronger attachment to
the fundamental principles of our glorious Govern
ment, and cement more indissolubly the great bond
OF our Union
Why cannot this DO done? Why will not the
press OF the country lend it's aid TO the work?
Surely the prayers and thanksgivings Of 30 many
millions of people, ascending with one accord TO
the great Ruler of the universe, would be heard
and answered.
There are peculiar reasons why this day should
be very generally celebrated throughout the coun-
try, and one s that it will complete three quarters
of century since the adoption of the Declaration
Of Independence II is, therefore, highly appro-
pirate that we should all assemble on this occa-
sion, and mark the day in the annals of our coun-
try's history. We notice by many of our ex-
changes that the most ample arrangements have
been made in different places for general and
worthy celebration Of this event, which should be
dearest of all others to the heart Of every true
A merican.

States prison, where he had conveyed q criminal
years of age, and 30 enfeebcd with the weight of
years as To be conveyed safely without irons or
