NTHE FOURTH OF JULY.-George William Curtis
delivered Fourth of July Grafton on Staten
Island, from IL we extract the following beauti-
full passage s
When the robin and blue bird sing In early
spring, there may be no leaves upon the trees,
but all the summer is in their song, and we are
as sure OF flowers and fruit as il we held them ia
our own hands; and so what people holds in
its heart is as sure II it had already grasped ii
ia its policy. Hope is our brthright Faith is
our duty. The man who despairs of this country,
despairs of human nature.
But to-day we give to memory. To-day the
bugles OF party sound truce, aud we will tell the
truth as brothers. not as partisans. However
we may differ, we speak here and now with
unanimous reverence of the men and the prlnci-
Piles which have made this day conspicuous in
history In the old Egyptian fable, 1t is related
that Queen Berenice fulfilled aVow by laying
her lustrous hair upon the altar of goddess,
whence Jupiter snatched it, aud set it, flaming
constellation, ia the heavens. Even so our
fathers laid their glowing lives upon the altar
of human liberty, and God sets their memory
shining in meu s<hearts forever"

GrThe Hon. X. w. Thompson of Indi
ana has just been making an elaborate
spsech on politics. A jealous supporter oI
Mr.. Fillmore In 1866, Dir. Thompson would
prefer the election Of Bell and Everett now
but does not countensnce any fraudulent
coalitions for the purpose. Here Is what

statesman in New York and elsewhe
"When we made our omlnation of Mr.
Bell at Baltimore, there was an imp lied
agreement resting upon all of rs that we
would support tho ticket straight through
live or die, sink or swim, survive or perish ;
We were to stand by that nomination
because we considered the Democrats and
Republicans both wrong. There was an
implied agreement that we would stand
under that flag that bad inscribed on i,s
folds, 'The Constitution, the Union. and the
en- 'orcement of the laws.' But. from some
cause, gen .emen In different parts OF the
country hsve supposed that they have q
right TO change that agreement. Instead
Of fighting Donplos. r ecknriage and Lin

An Important Struggle.

We are on the eve ofan important strug.

her father. That Is the effect of this insti
tuition upon the rights OF poor freemen ir
The South, and in this struggle you are
called upon To say whether you approve ol
that, and nre willing TO spread such a sta q
OF things over the Territories, which are
your common property, or whether the in.
stitulion OF Slavery shall be restricted t,
where it now is. Applause aud cries o

Then there 10 another matter o. which
might say few words. II is the Home

man who is willing to work, some of these
public lands, instead o! squandering them
by donating to rich railroad corporations -
We suy give the poor man home. Why
are the Democracy opposed to thsl Be.
cause the laborers who work and toll and
earn their bread by the sweat of the r brow
could never consent to have Slavery near
them II they once got possession Of the
land. We want to raise men up. They

We say to the loborers y (many OF
whom aro so economical that they will sell

until they have laid by enough money to
purchase home) ifyou want a free home
in this free land, where you can labor for
