WASHINGTON BIRTHDAY has cone-and
has nearly gone How different from the
Birth, Day, in o!den times! Then, the ami.
yersary was hailed with national sautes, the
DISPLAY of flags, the parades of the citizen SOL
diers, strains of music, professions, ora
tons, feasts, and festivities No1, alas what
change No outward demonstrations of re-
joicings, no military and civic celebrations,
nothing that can distinguish this day from any
other or the calendar At such time as
this, amidst the scenes that arc Transporting, the
people have not heart to rejoice and be glad, y
or to indulge in other feelings than those of
gloom and dcspondeGcy at the situation Of pub
lie affairs. They see none Of the principles Of
Washington cherished or regarded by those
who now have sway, nor arc they certain how
long even the form Of government which
Washington labored, with other patriots, to
establish, may be maintained It's spirit: they
know, has been crushed out practically in
the laws that have been passed, and the course
that has been pursued
