The Glorious Fourth Z

We regret to announce that there will be no
public celebration of the Fourth of July in this city
tomorrow. Our citizens, however, viii end ample
opportunities for enjoyment, in the various excur-
sions, by steamboat and railway from this city and
Alexandria. By reference to our advertising col
umns, our readers will be able to select for them
selves from number of pleasant excursions.
Eighty years have elapsed since the promulga-
ton Of the Declaration of Independence In that
brief space of time the United States have attained
the position of 6rstrate Power. History will be
searched in vain for any parallel to our rapid ad.
vance in population, wealth and greatness The
secret of our prosperity and strength undoubtedly
lies in our Union. We have been, thus far, united
people. When the day shall come that shall see
US divided people, that day viii also behold the
destruction Of our prosperity and the annihilation
Of the cause OF selfgovernment. b
Let then every true American resolve on the
coming national anniversary, to stand by our glo-
rious constitution and its compromises glo-
rious Union and its inestimable advantages; and to
turn deaf ear to the howls Of faction, from what
ever quarter they may arise Let the friends OF
the Union as IL Is" preserve firm and undaunt-
ed front, and the powers Of hell shall not prevail
against it."

Our contemporary of the Era travels through
nearly the whole length of one Of its columns to
prove that Col. Fremont is not Catholic. With
out passing any opinion on the merits of Catholi-
cism, we challenge denial of the fact that Colonel
Fremont is Catholic, upon the authority of Col.
F. himself Always regarding him with respect,
we deny that he would act so senseless a part as
to erect an altar in private chapel in his own
dwelling, for any other purpose but that of wor-
Shipping according to the rites of the Roman Catho-
lie Church.

LITTLE Delaware IN MoTToN.-The Americans
of Delaware held Convention at Delaware City,
on Saturday last at which they passed. among
Others the following resolves;
Whereas the time is drawing near when we win
be called upon to exercise our choice in the seec-
ton Of National and State officers; and whereas
we believe that the principles and the men Of the
great American party Of the country are the prin-
ciples and the men best calculated to advance the
interests OF all classes Of the country: therefore
Resolved, That in the Hon. Willard Fillmore, of
New York, and in tho Hon. Andrew jackson Don
elson, OF Tennessee, We recognise pure and tried
statesmen, true to the principles of the American
party, eminently calculated to heal the sectional
difficulties between the North and South, and on
whom We win unite in giving our hearty support,
and do our utmost to secure their triumphant cleo
lion in the coming contest

Magazine is unusually interesting. An article on
the condition Of the Africans at home, should
be read by every Abolitionist. Those who wish
to be amused should read the sketch of small
German university town--and the story entitled
Mrs. Professor Kramps. r
We regret to perceive in this otherwise excel
LENT number of Putnam, a long political article of
a decided "anti-slavery" character. Why not ex-
clude politics altogether from the Magazine; or If
admitted, why pot treat the subject after the phi
