DEAR AMERICAN: The glorious 4ih is

considered the hottest day of the season.
Your correspondent rode from franklin. to

the celebration. found goodly number
assembled, anticipating a good time. But.
scarce had the Declaration been read
when black lowering clouds, threw cold
water on the scene, causing. plentiful
display of umbrellas. But it WAS deemed
ine xpedient, to attempt to deliver an ora
ton out doors. so it was proposed TO adj
journ to some place in doors. The Hall
being too small. the stable. of B. NJ. Sar-
gent Esq. was solicited, as place more
suitable: and there, perched upon beam,

an energetic Grafton, delivered by Rev.

well written and delivered Due tribute
was paid to the upholtlcrs of our country's
right. Even the traitors. did not escape
the anathemas, which they deserve. The
speaker made some excellent remarks up.
on morality, combining religion and tenn
