FOURTH OF JULY.

Some of the fanatics of New England have
come to the determination to convert the 4th
of July, our countrys birth day, into an occa-
sion of mourning and sorrow, on account of
the passage through Congress of the Nebraska
bill. 1t is to be hung with black, and to be
celebrated with all the dismal pageantry Of
fnnereal wo. Instead of feasting, we presume
there will be fasting; instead of orations, there
will be prayers instead of JOY, there will be
tears; instead of toasts, there will be bitter
curses.
Who are those that thus dare to touch with
their profane hands the very ark of the Anne
rican covenant? Who are those that would
make the birthday of the nation the occasion
of mournfulness and sorrow?
They are the men who have never done, and
never will do, anything for their country. Men
who, if they had lived in revolutionary times,
would have packed up their goods and sought
refuge with the enemy.
Has it come to this, that there are in the
United States any number of men who would
thus insult the memory Of their fathers, the
founders of the republic, the authors Of the
Declaration Of Independence, and the patriotic
spirit Of this whole nation, by such sacrilege
Such men hold nothing sacred. They trample
on the Bible, the Constitution, and the ashes
of their fathers "Fools rush in where angels
fear to tread.n

and not inconsistent with the rights OF the several
States. And, whereas, al q meeting OF this CON-
miitee, held at the Stuyvesant institute on the ID
OF February last upon the occasion Oh the Dill intro
dueed by Senator Douglas for the government Of
Nebraska and Kansas, these well-known princi-
Piles of the democracy were again avowed, and
our representatives in Congress unanimously re-
quested 10 give to that bill their earnest and COR
dial support; therefore,
Resoioed, That we congratulate the democracy
of the city that The great principle Of seligovern-
ment in the Territories, subject only 70 the rights
Of the States and the Constitution OF the United
States-so successfully carried out IN the govern
ment of New Mexico-has been again vindicatcd
in the passage of the bill for the government OF
Nebraska and Kansas. And We congratulate the
senator from Illinois that, Notwithstanding slight
detection in our own ranks, andth untoward and
dubious friendship of faithless and anti-demo-
cratic administration, his moral courage and manly
fidelity 10 democratic truth, in presenting and se
curing the passage OF The bill, has swept from The
statute book the last vestige OF unconstitutional
legislation by Congress. Henceforward, under
these healing principles, which strike at the root
of anti-savery agitation, faction will be disabled
the Constitution alone shall be predomlnant--ac-
idental msiorties in Congress- shall moi be allowed
10 divide the rights of the people by geographical
lines,he Territories, existing and 10 be acquired,
being the common property OF the people OF the
several States, shall be open 10 their full, free, and
equal enjoyment, and the course OF the conedera-
cy. shall henceforth be onward and serene
Resoiued That the recent reasonable demon
stratons OF abolllionists in Boston, requiring the
laws OF the United States TO be sustained al The
point or the bayonet, calls the serious attention OF
every democrat and all citizens in favor OF law
and order TO the fact, that the freesoilers of the
north, who in lS4S united the names OF the apos-
tate Van Buren and the whg abolitionist Adams,
for the defeat of the democratic party, still stimu-
late the same sectional agitation through their
press and are now, as then, arrayed against the
democracy and the Constitution.
Rcsoired, That the democracy Of this city urge
upon their democratic brethren of the State care
full and judicious selection of candidates for the
sufrages Of the party, and pledge their exertions
for the nomination of men whose fidelity 10 prin-
ciple and consistency shall be guarantee to the
electors of the State, that the old line democracy
will maintain its integrity against all efforts of har
monious spoilsmen TO prostitute and destroy them
by an unhoy alliance or corrupt coalition.

"that whenever il shall be made to appear 10 the

Now, therefore, il having been made to appear
TO my satisfaction that there are animals of the

notice TO all whom it may concern that all ami
mails of the dog kind" in this city required TO
be kept confined for and during the term of sixty

sung, but which, unlike most balances,is never
in equipoise, viii once more settle after a brief
oscillation on the side Of the giant empire of
the north.
While we would deplore anything like active
participation by the United States in the en-.
tangled affairs Of European politics, We cannot
help feeling deep interest, as individuals, in
the result To our government although not
an immediate actor in the tragic drama, conse-
quences may flow, Of the most momentous i'm
portance. The aspirations Of Russia, the great
embodiment of monarchical power in the east,
are nearly an exact counterpart of the aspira-
tons Of the western representation OF the re-
publican sentiment. Were success to crown
the arms Of the allies, their next step might
well be to check the growing importance of our
young republic, of whose power they are al
ready jealous. If circumstances should arise,
as we feel assured they will, which viii render
necessary and feasible the fair acquisition OF
Cuba to our government, we may well calcu-
late on an interference by the united power Of
England and France. They are, indeed, our
natural enemies; iberalists in the extreme,
they turn from the sad sight which meets their
gaze on every side at home, to enlarge their
sympathies with the happy laborers of our
southern country. They would not only wink
at, but they would uphold and support the
Africanization Of Cuba; and the golden dreams
of her annexation would be rendered doubtful,
or the acquisition bloody by their combined
efforts to oppose it. From Russia no such evils
need be apprehended. Content with the inn
mense empire which is already hers, or the ex-
tended domain in the east which she may still
acquire, she will never interfere with the pre-.
sent possessions or future acquisitions Of her
great republican rival; while the allied powers,
by the result Of the present war, will receive
check to their growing and conscious import
ance, from which they may learn o useful les
son, that while charity begins at home, imper-
tinent philanthropy should end there.

U- SICK Headache Ren,edy.-A remedy I

the sick headache, which has been recently offered
10 the public, is attracting great attention, mol only
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great number of people who are af
ficted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his ssrem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is a physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed has attractedthe attention
ofali sufferers from headache who have heard Of it.
From our own knowledge Of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
icine deserves the favor it receives and that it will
prove to be great benefit to all who may give it
a trial.-Lynn Ne,cs, December %, 1853.
