The Coming Celebration.

The Coming Celebration.
In accordance with an almost universal Prac-
tice, the Burgess and Council of this Borough
have recommended tie appropriate celebra-
fion Of the coming anniversary of American
Independence. The recommendation is to the
citizens without distinction of party. equote
their resolution
"ResolUed, That fhe Burgess and Coancl Of
the Borough Of Bedford, do recommend that
the coming anniversary of our independence be
celebrated by.kE citizens in an appropriate and
becoming marfneE. Issev~
The Burgess appointed a committee Of ten,
consisting Of five Democrats and five Repub
licans, to make arrangements for the celebTa
tlon and also proposed that there should be two
orations delivered, one by a Democrat and the
other by Republican, politics to be excluded
from beth. That the course of the Burgess and
Council was perfectly proper and entirely fair
to all parties cannot be denied Nay, tLat It
was liberal, as coming from the majority (polt-
eally speaking} is equally indisputabie. Ba.
mark the result. Whilst many Republicans
were willing to respond to this Recommendation
of the Burgess and Council, little intolerant
clique, which would "rather rule IN he'll than
serve in heaven" refused 10 join in the U1aon
celebration, Issued q call for partisan meeting
and are now striving to divide the people on this
sacred occasion, when the American people
! should be one in their cQmmemoTatioR Of tie
natal day of Independence. This were provo
eaton enough to Democrats to justify them in
/ getting up 1 counter political celebration. But
| they win not permit any feelings of resent
/ ment against any human creature, TO enter into
their observance Of tbs glorious day. They
! respect the recommendation os the BotoGgh
authorities, and therefore, pl not enga e in any
r';,,e--, ---4 N rctev-.an n the ceiebratior IN
which they expect to participate. They are
! for the restoration c! harmony and fraternai
kindness among our people, and not in favor Of
continuing bitterness and strife such as the
clique before spoken Of are striving to perpe--
uate Having given the recommendation Of
the Burgess and Council, we will now submit
to the Judgment of the people, the call issued
by the clique Of maIcontents, [Itis just to say
that come of the names attached to this call,
were appended to it under a misapprehension
