The Fourth Of July.

The Seth Anniversary Of American In
dependence is at hand-and melancholy
ore 1t will he too.
Eighty five years ago little band of
PATRIOTS assembled in Independence Hall
and pledged their lives, their fortunes and
sacred honor in the cause Of human frees
dom.
Then was laid the foundation of gov
ernmeut which has prospered beyond hu-
man conception, AMI extended inumerahle
blessings upon millions and millions of
pe"ple. And as the national day draws
night, the deeds of the past. and the mem
Org IF the nnble, seit sacrificing patriots
who b'queathcd to US Il government with
such giurI"us Institutions, naturally in
spires our hearts with generosity and graf
nude.
But what painful associations throng upon
cur minds AS we greet oar 8Gtn National
Anniversary We no longer behold a
mighty and powerful confederaey Of free
aud sovereign States, the admiration Of
patriots and the awe of tyrants throughout
the world, but divided Union and the
reign Of fearful appreheL sions, terrorsms,
and civt war 1t is with sad hearts We
turn away from the terrible spectacle But
let us Iut cur trust in the Almighty Ruler
of the Universe ard beseech him 70 save
our Republic frcm its present peril.

reason why 1t assa'!s the lid patriut is, be-
cause it is rumored that he intends to favor
the peace policy in the approaching Con>

at home lubricating on fat government sal

are careful to keep their carcasses out of the
range Of secession bullets, but are for hang.

90 good al opportunity, and NAV never
have better one again that when the
English government seems likely tn eff rd
her by IT'S policy in relation u the unharry
civil war which is nuw inauyurated in the
United States and, judging from various
symptoms, 1t Is not improbable that she
will avail herself of the bluuder of J5bf,
Bull TO assert her Independence. She has
surely ss good a right to II AS the Southern
Confederacy and with the aid afforded
her by the United States, aud probably in
che end Ly France, she would lie far better
capable OF maintaining herself than the
secession government.
We publish tn day a remarkable article
from the Dublin freshman, showing that
The moment itappeared England had taken
