The celebration Of the Fourth.
OVATION TO THE VETERAN REGI-
mENTs.
A GLORIOUS TIME IN PROSPECT.
ORDER OF THe DAY.

The anniversary which we celebrate to- day
is to Americans of all in the whole round
year the one most sacred and significant. In
common with the whole civilized and Chris
tisn world We keep holiday upon New Years
day, Christmas, Easter and the other great
festivsls of the Christian church. As na-
ton, We commemorate the birthdays Of
Washington and Jackson, and our annual
Thanksgiving-dsy, with appropriate cers-
moniels. But above ell these in importance
and significance as a national anniversary
is the day on which, in the stormy and
troubious times of 'T6, the nation had it's
birth. 1t has ever been regarded as pecu-
Iisrly and pre-eminently the national lnni-
verssry, But in these days of war, the
Fourth of July has fresh meaning, which
in timss,of peace could never attach to it }
and it is especially fitting that on this day
We should recall the perils and dangers
through which our nation attained its birth
right Of liberty, and should renew our VOWS
to preserve intact and untarnished that sa-
cred heritage.
And, to- day, our celebration Of this ami
verssry takes phase which finds no pArsi-
lei or precedent in our previous histOty.-
To-day two veteran regiments of heroes,
returning, covered with wounds and honor,
from a three years conflict to preserve the
liberties of our people surprising in desper-
alton the conflict which gave us these liber-
ties, are to be received With q welcome due
to their devoted courage. We add to our
celebration of the day an ovstion to those
heroes whose deeds of daring have made it
doubIy sacred.
