The Eourth.

The 80th Anniversary of the Declaration
of our Independence. was appropriately
celebrated BY the citizens of our town and
vicinity. The reading of the Declaration and
an address by Mr.. J, NJ. Killgore was fol
lowed by a dinner. after which the company
reassembled before the stand prepared for
the speakers, and a number of patriotic
sentiments we're offered by a committee
delegated for the purpose, and by number
of private individuals expressly called on.
They were responded to from time to time
with cheers. The affair was conducted on
the strictest temperance principles, and
passed quietly and pleasantly leaving every
body in good humor, and fully convinced
that the 4th of July is a patriotic ''insti-
tuition"

Gen. Yell in Washington County.

The Fayetteville S. w. Independent,
of the 9th ult. says:
General Yell, after addressing the peo-
pie of Cane Hill ON the 10th, arrived in
this place the next day.
On the 21st he spoke to large audi
ence. We never before witnessed more
undivided attention than was given by
the people. There was slight Interrupt
tion for few seconds, but it amounted to
nothing. The man who caused it was
not sober, or doubtless he would have
scorned to have engaged in it.
We hope that we may never have occa
sion to record disturbance in political
meeting, American or Democratic When
Gen Burrow comes to town we hope he
will receive as marked attention as Maj.
Borland and Gen. Yell. Fair discussion
must be had at all times, on all subjects,
amongst honest men, or the country can.
not escape ruin. The man who. would
abuse an opposite party without fully un-
derstanding its prineiples-who would dc
so without investigating "for himself and
not for another" is bad man.
Gen. YelPs speech was about three
hours long. Gen. Thomasson spoke few
minutes in conclusion. All went away
we'll satisfied. Gen. Yel's remarks 10
the ladies, which were the peroration OF
his speech, we're the finest specimen of the
unwithstandable coaxing we ever listened
to- One man sitting near us lent over and
whispered to us that "he'd be mighty
scared if his wife was there a listening tc
that man." ThOmassOn also wound uI
with some remarks to the ladies, one o
which was, if we recollect right, that he
believed he could do as much for his coun-
try as Judge Greenwood had done

tional men of all shades of opinion had placed

his nomination, had failed 70 accord to him
the need of "well DONE" and the American
party in convention assembled-in cOnven-
ton. composed of men whom we may reason
ably suppose had as great and diversified
interests at stake as we're represented In the
Cincinnati convention, gave Mr.. Fillmore
the nomination upon the 1st ballot, the South
voting for him, almost, if not entirely. In
body. This fact. in itself, is conclusive evi-
dence of Mr.. Fillmore's fitness to be recOg-
nized as the friend of Southern constitutional
rights. If this is not so, then the large
body of Southern men in that convention
stultifed themselves, and We opine that any
such sweeping charge as this, coming
even from the great Democratic party. will
receive only unmitigated contempt. But
there are other evidences. that Mr.. Fillmore
was distastcful to all men save the sound
and conservative body of the people. The
representatives of the Northern, anti-S South
ern Rights faction, which had insidiously
crept into the American party, left the
convention nominating Mr. Fillmore in
utter disgust. Does not this fact conclu-
sively prove Mr.. Fillmore's soun6ness

any one be so good as to tell us how it proves
the contrary? And thus IS our first query
answered. As to the second-"was not
this recognition Of Southern constitutional
rights sanctioned by very large majority
of the representatives of the American SEN
timent of the North ?" The record proves
that with the exception of the factious
squad known as the Boilers it met with
the appreciation of the conservative men o
the North. and we thus have the conviction
forced upon us that the party supporting
Fillmore, the party which nominated Fill
more, are national in the fullest and mOs
enlarged acceptance of the term, and thai
the true men of all sections can heartily and
cbeerfully give them their support We
reserve our examination of the queries rela
tive to the candidates of the Cincinnati
convention for our next issue.
