WashIngtOn's Birthdaayy,.,

To-day is the anniversary Of the
birth of GEORGE WASHINGTON, the
Father Of his country. It should re.
call to the mind of every citizen OF
the Republic the virtues and the SER
vices of that great man, and the early
days of the Nation, founded by the
immortal WASHINGTON and his asso-
ciate patriots ST Az U8AE
Twas designed to have a proper
observance of the day in this city by
the Army of the Republic, but che
absence of the Crescent City Band in
terfered with the arrangements. 1t
will be properly celebrated by them
at the State Capital. Che Army of the
Republicwill observe the day at Rock
port, and at very many other points
In this State, as we notice by our ex-
changes. The Union mer of Tenhes-
see hold State Convention aENash-
vile to-day to nominate Governor
and other State officers; and the rebel
Democracy Of Kentucky hold sim
liar Convention at Frankfort.

of the first acts of the rebels after. the

for new pretext to dishonor their
obligations. While the North is send

The loyal portion Of tie American
people owe the freedombeving Ger
man citizens of this country a lasting
debt of gratitude for what they have
done for the Government during the
past ten years. 1t was on account of
their manly independence in break
ing with the, old Democratic party In
1856 and in the subsequent elections,
that destroyed the power Of that Or
ganizationI and as "a consequence,
broke down the slaveocTaeyssdf the
county And their heroic and loyal
stand for the Government in the late
war is yet fresh in the, minds Of the
people Of the North. We are
glad to note that the same
spirit which has SO distinguished
the Germans of the Northern States
is governing their countrymen in Ken
lucky. The Louisville Volks5lda

that city, thus expresses the views of
tie position which the party should
assume in that State: The sRepub.
