1SDErESDHScE DAY IN BOSTON.
OF course It will not be possible, after
writing tho above date fairly and honestly,
for me- to attempt to give you report Of the
Boston celebration Of the Fourth; but from
IN extended experience Of past years and q
careful perusal Of the programme prepared
by the city authorities, eau give You fair
prediction as to what will take place to-mo1-
row. You must know that NO city keeps up
the old customs Of celebrating the Fourth
with such completeness as this. The inhabf-
tauts,-e1cept the children who can
remember no previous celebrations,
generally vote 1t bore, and either
manage to be out OF the way In the noun
taius or nt the seaside, or close the doors and
shutters and retire to protracted maps under
mosquito netting but to the country people
withid radius OF forty miles, It Is the grand
festival OF the year, and they flock IN here in
such swarms, that there is really no room for
anyone else outdoors Thei horse cars
are taken away from the streets, and the
whole width of pavement Is thrown open tor
the psomenadea of our country cousins; while
the Common Is their grand pIcnic ground,
and is covered thick as leaves IN Vallombrosa
with their Wearfe1 forms, lunch1ng In pictur-
csque groups upon the gingerbread and cltric
acid, purchased from tho booths along tho
fence.
to the curaory observer, bnt this Is not the
celebration. That Is On the most stupeudous
scn1e this year, and includes morning, con-
cert in the open air for the early birds d
dremen'k procession to start At seven and be
| entertainments at the principal halls Of the
| city, ior the benefit Of the school children,
given every hour every day without charge
for admissions reading Of the Declaratfons
| and an oratlon before 8 few reporters, members
Of the City Council, and nohodses generally :;
| repatta for wherries and four and slI cared
boats on the Charles River, aud one for yachts
10 the harbor; balloon ascension and
display Of fireworks In the evening, with one
novelty In the programme: 1.-The fenlans
Dream"
There is always an element Of uncertainty
in the Question where a balloon Wilcn goes
m 50 safely and prettily, will come down
there are few more Imposing sights IN tae
world than the glmpses obtained BY the
light of the fireworks, Of great crowd O
0it7 thousand people packed tightly together
With uplurned faces. and there Is always
larre class interested In watching the re
cattas. Otherwise the celebration Is yer,
Stupid affair, aud kept up only for the sake

In nlinols never presented bolder or more
solid front to the Precipitators and their
"pollcy" since the party was organized. The
Radicals groWl little at the Congressional
plan Of reconstruction on the ground that 1t
is too magnanlmous TO the rebels. They
would much prefer plan OF reconstruction

willing to accept 1t and let the seeded States

party heartily endorse the Congressional plan,
as 1t exactly comports with their iaeas Of q
fair and liberal basis OF reconstruction; and
they support the amendment with consldera-
bic enthusiasm.
No dissatisfied Radical has any intention
either to support the JohusonCopperhead
ticket or 10 abstain from voting, the feeling
being that half loaf Il better than no bread.

Ho there said that the blacks Of the South

Freedmen" II this Is not merely sensclcss
Hing ut Congress, 1t 10 a phrase full Of fearful
import. His oft-ropcated declaration that

place, but one TINT IL always In order. We
are to have this Union, and to cherish 1t, one
and indtvislblc; but We will not hare rebels
In Congress right away, nor rebels In the
army. Who would ask to have General Lees
commission restored to him? Would It be
any the less base and pustllanfmons to admit

In our own good time, gentlemen ; the
North was forgiving, is still mag
nanimous but, If you can afford
to delay the performance Of a plain duty,
the North can afford to postpone the formal

Justly g portion Of representation <robbed
from the North,) that attached to your
slaves: yield It up, and you will have made
some progress In the right direction. Your
thoughts are intent on gaining Ubiquitous
onds, md yonr hearts arc full Of murder:
cleanse your thoughts and your hearts, and
you will have made IN approach to recon

again to hold the re1ns Of power, wash you,
hands, that were but tho other day dipped
In the blood Of massaercd loyalistsl
