The Fourth of July.

Tomorrow will be the National Anniversary, and we will
we are duly thankful all hands in the Journal office
The great event commemoated tomorrow possesses an
importance which cannot be too highly estimated and that
event. tho feelings connected with it, are 80 associated
with the day. that American Independence and the Fourth
of July form but one idea in the mind STILL had it hap
pened that Independence had been declared two months
er what boon would have been to perspring patriots
throughout all time.
We have than congratulated ourselves and our
readers upon the harmonng and conservative influence
erted by these celebrations We have spoken of them as
bringing the citizens of every section of widely extended
country together at least in feeling to worship around
altar for the good of country. But
this element of harmony and community seems to be
passing finally, submerged for the time in the wild
torrent of anacsm which is sweeping section
the land Thousands of preachers and at the North
will avail themselves of the opportunity in hatred to
the South and her Institutions duty which their hear
to their God and to the of freedom" We
cannot therefore, look forward to the influence of the day
with the hopeful feelings that used to animate
such occasions
We refrain from attempt to foresa the speakers
the glowing and patriotic style of eoquence generally,
perhaps rightly deemed appropriate to the day Without
being aarmsts but think that the of affair
is such to induce deeper and thoughtful tone thar
usually char acerizes the occasion 1t useless thai
this that occasion of excitement has produced the
sectional estrangemen too painfully present in the United
states The root of the matter lies deeper and Ia
ter must be reached, and the sooner the better.

RaThere are some queer folks in this world, among
whom, we think the editor of the Charlotte Wing
may be fairly classed, after his issue of this week.
He attempts to defend Mr. Gilmers opposition to the
Kansas and Nebraska Bill by quoting the example
and authority of Hon. Hannibal Hamblin of Maine,
United States Senator who has always heretofore
acted with the Democratic party, but who recently.
on the floor of the Senate, announced his withdraw
al from the Democratic parry, because of its platform
endorsing the Kanzas act, and also to its general
fairness towards the South. Go little farther and

into what party did this conscientious statesman fall
Into the Black Republican party,-that is the party
into which Mr.. Hamblin's opposition to the Kanzas
