MR. EDIFoR--As the Fourth of July
approaches, We necessarily think OF an
other anniversary of our National Inde-
pendence Eighty-two years have rolled
away since the Tree of Liberty was plant
ed on our American shore, and through
the goodness Of Him who gave to our
forefathers the victory, we are still per-
mitted to sit quietly beneath its branches.
Since that time some events have taken
place, which call for our grateful remem.
beraree; Of which Perrys victory on
Lake Erie, is, | think, the most conspic.
nous, for it soon terminated our SECOND
struggle with Great Britain for Freedom.
In our political affairs, the result of the
recent municipal election in Philadelphia,
calls for joy and gratitude, aud should,
and will be hailed by every true patriot,
as an omen of the downfall of gigantic
power, more to be dreaded than British
aggressions. This Bunker Hill fight
must be followed up, until Pennsylvania
is freed from the dominion of nj gger-driv-
crs. When the ark Of the coTenant which
was to the Jew tAe symbol Of the Divine
Presence, was carried to 4shdad and
placed By the side of PhIffissia's god,
Dagon fell and his hands and head we're
broken off. and nothing bat the fshy
part remained When the ballot box
which is, TO the American, the sovereign
will of the people tells upon the desttnies
Ct the present corrupt administration,
how their Dagon falls before il, and what
but the stump or fshy part of their god
will remain after next falls election, re-
mains to be told. j.

what They struggle For.

| Why not give him IGen. Jackman the Tsry
best majority you can, by electing hitR se eosl-
gress as 8 reward, c.-FhladelphiG Press.
We will tell you Mr.. Press because Hon.
ALLISON WHITE, who has made most
faithful influential, and independent Re-
preventative, will probably be candidate
for reelection, and Gen. JAcKMAN is too
firm a friend If Mr.. White to be il his
way for Congress.
! AS TO " Lecompton," the Democrats Of
this region have, generally, refused to be-
come embroiled in it-care nothing about
it-and deem the ascendency of their par
ty as of infinitely more importance than a
Thousand sech toSpship Quarrels as exist
in it about Kansas.
That is Curanswer-- Citation Democrat
We do not question the truth of the
last paragraph Of the aboye-on the con-
5rary We gR!p il all down at one swallow ;
indeed, we are glad to see you so honest
as to affirm that the friends Of Allison
White prefer party to principle. We
know where to meet You, uow-and that
any effort to bring you into a discussion
Of principles during shis Congressional
canvass will be useless. E'e intend to
make the success of the great principle
Of Right the basis of the current or coming
political eontest-and We regret that yot
have "tskea the vail" in this matter, as
no DOUBT you are Instructed to do from
headquarters. L" Party asoendancy' Will
no doubt do for your class CT Democrats
to advocate, but we think you will find
that nlajority of Democrats are willing
to retUrn to priueiple.
As for Gen Jackman being in Allison
Whites way in vie~ of his reelection, we
are inclined to think there is good pres
peet Of his being considerably SO. If he
is not, some other COOL honest anti-Le-
compton man will be. We % not believe
that Gen. JacGmau prefers party to Prin-
s;p!e; therefore, We doubt his being will
ing to support 50 glarin.7 a GouGhtace as
Allison White has proved himself 10 b,
f.. reelection. And this confidence We
feel il the integrity Of Gen. Jaekman, in
Qace - pronouGo &c your assertion to
tha: effect a gru4s libel upon his political
character.
We are aIeo compelled to agree with
the Democrat III ano her Point-that Al.
lison White mas proved himself an Gin

ly has maintained position strictly indie
