TOW AND TRY.
Fourth of July.

Another revolution Of the season has
brought around our great national day OF
rejoicing, and large preparations had been
made throughout :he whole country to
celebrate the occa.ion with more than
woD,ed fes,ivi,y. And agreeable TO the
prevailing example Of all parts of the East,
West and North West, ample provision
wa. made by cur County Board Of Super
visors and village authorities to make this
anniversary an event OF more than ordi>
nary interest. But Providence interfored
with the arrangements, and tie day was
ushered in by a heavy rain, which lasted
until noon, and marred materially the en-
joyments Of the occasion Notwithstanding
large concourse ofpeopIe were present,
consisting Of Uorsemen, Military, Firemen,
Turnera and citizens who assembled on
the south side Of the river sbou, three
o'clock P. NJ, and march ed along Eighth
street across the river 10 the corner OF
Eighth and York Sta, where they were
formed by The Marshal Of The day in front
of the speakers stand, where the President
Of heday-Uon. joseph Villas, called tho
meeting to order, and opened The ptoceed-
ings by saying that the lnclemency Of the
weather had interfered with the arrange
nen,s as published, and the most ot the
time lef. would have to be used to the best
advantage, and called upon the Rev. Mr..
FREEMAN to offer pray ayer-atter which was
introduced to the audience, Major CHAs.
II. WALKER, late OF the 2lsl Regiment
who delivered an Grafton in the English
language.
A prominent topic Of lis Grafton was
President L1NcoLS's Emancipation Proc
Iamation. The Major evidently has not
yo, learned that the niggcr has become a
stencil in the no5tiils, and uauseaung to
the stomachs Of a large majority Of the
people Of the North, or ho would have
lel, this portion Of his oration ont. The
subject is getting to be disgusting. II
slavery is dead, rs all politicians and dem
agogues say it is, why not let islemain
dead? Why attempt to rosurEect il?
CnAs. Is. LrNGEE delivered the GRAFTON
in German. Mr.. EssLINGEh'5 effort we
are unable to pronounce an opinion upon,
as the language is foreign to US. AT the
