open. II viii, in fact be gala day.
The greatest fsts of all, however, is to be
the "Know Nothing celebration. I say
'Know Nothing without knowing positively.
One thing, however, ID certain, that grand
American celebration Is advertised to take
place 1t Orders Grove" about eight miles
out on the Baltimore and Susaueh anna Rail-
road Another ominous fact worthy of note Is,
that the Hon. John P. Kennedy is to deliver
the Grafton; also, that VIM. P. Preston, ESQ
will read the Declaration of Independence,
concluding with an address. Being uniniti-
ated, of course cannot say positively that this
rious order; but all things considered, it looks |
every much like whale" If right in the |
premises, the distinguished honorable gentle |
men, who are to figure conspicuously as orators |
must have heretofore taken a "little walk" |
MIR. Kennedy is deseryedly renowned for his |
ledge and oratorical abilities which must i'm |
part more than ordinary interest to the occa-
sion. Many will doubtless avail themselves
of the opportunity Of hearing him. Those
who have heard Mr.. Preston, know the power
of his eloquencs. He is little giant in ora
tory, and admirably calculated to produce
effect upon such occasions. There are vague
surmises that he is to mount the bob tailed
"Know Nothing" horse, and at the next cam.
paign ride into Congress. Things now por-
tend such squirting. If such be the pro-
gramme, Joshua must look out and "make hay
while the sun shines" The young Hercules
viii move onward like Jove forging thunder,
with power strong even as young America.
In view of the fact that Mr.. P. rode the Cath
Ollie and foreign hobby at the last election, as
an independent candidate in his efforts to de-
feat Mr.. Vansant, his present course causes
much bitter comment. 1t is said, but with
what semblance Of truth am unable to say
that arA no. hiek IN Ia
trict as grasshoppers in hay time.
The fact that the Hon John P. Kennedy,
right-hand man of Mr.. Fillmore, is to appear
upon the occasion here alluded to as orator of
the day, has excited some curiosity. Many
are anxious to know if he has become " one of
them" while others assert that he is entirely
independent, but having been invited to adj
dress his countrymen upon on occasion dear
to every patriot, he did not feel at liberty to
refuse. One thing is certain-his address
will be worth hearing or reading.

The swindle by the Parker Vein Coal Com
