about thirty years ago. being a youth
of twenty. Aldridge went 10 England
with the elder Wsllack, in the humble
capacity OF body servant; but so great
was his aptitude for, the dramatic art
that, without any instruction, by mere
association and contact with that greal
actor, he inhaled and absorbed sufficient
skill to come out as an actor himself, in
Othello, in the slave, and in several 9th
er parts with whic be was identified BY
his color. For many year, he struggled
on IN England in the arduous endeavor
TO WIN tame aud fortune upon the stage.

his popularity that the students have
often embarrassed the horses of his char
lot and drawn him home from the theaIer

about his success is that he does not
know the continental languages well
enough to employ them upon the stage;
and that from the very outset he has spo-
ken his own paris 10 English. II is high
evidence of his ability, that 10 a language
utterly strange to lis audiences, by sheer

PENDENCE. q
II is now almost century since the
Revolutionary patriots determined 10 as
sert their freedom from British domina-
ton and kingly authority. They resolved
that they would be free, and with their
own strong arms and honest hearts, they
maintained their resolves, and vindicated
their right to liberty and free government.
It is appropriate, it is meet and consistent
for us to celebrate this day, which our
typos, local reporters, and the tycoon him
self will do in ozark the word) rational
and becoming manner.
Our city government cannot constitu.
tionally, as they think, appropriate any
money to be expended in the festivities,
such as should ever mark this occasion,
and therefore we must extemporise such
entertainments as our limited means and
opportunities will suggest and afford.
The Fourth Of July is a glorious event
We hail il as an occasion to be signalzed
and made glorious in the annals Of time
We look upon it as a day rendered mem
orable to oil nations, as it ushered in that
unspeakable and benign blessing Of per
sonal and political freedom which strug-
Cling martyrs have sought for for long ages
Of darkness, but never found.
1t was left for WASHINGTON, JEFFERSON,
and ADAMS, and brave compeers, to vindi.
cate the great principles Of free govern.
ment, and TO establish upon this continent
democracy enduring as time, and per-
feet as human reason and mans intellect
can conceive or devise.
To-day let us throw aside all fears, and
believe in America believe in the Union
of these States, the Union of these States
undiscovered, and in the impossibility Of
their separation.
In looking upon the sentiments Of the
fathers, in behalf Of a perfect and perpet-
ual Union, we can but adopt the language
Of our great poet, LoSoFELLow, and ex-
claim, with respect to the old Ship Of
State
eve know what masters laid thy keel,
What workmen wrought thy ribs Of steel,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what . forge, and what heat
Were shaped the anchors Of thy hope.
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
'Tis but the wave, and not the rock
IT'S but the tapping Of the sail,
And not the rent made by the gale.
In spite Of rock and tempest roar,
In spite Of false lights on the shore,
Sail on Nor fear to breast the sea,
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee;
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith, triumphant DER our fears,
Are all with thee, all with thee"
