I O. DAY.,

This day is the ninety-second anniver-
sary Of the signing of the Declaration OF
Independen ce. Since that signing the
most vigorous, liberal and progressive
nation of the earth has grown into the
proportions of frst-class power. 1t
is doubtless fact that the United States
of America constitute now the most
powerful, because most imp.egnable
and unconquerable, government, in the
world. The lesson taught by the cou-
dition thus presented is that Of the
Power of an intelligent Democracy ,
the force of unity; and the great virtue,
as national principle, of the theory of
Representative Government. These all
grew out of, as the legitimate fruits of.
that spirit of Liberty which defed and
ssbelled against the authority of the
Mother Country; and, growing with
their growth and gaining strength Of
themselves, they came to possess the
power to arrest the destructive force of
rebellion, overthrow Slavery and hold
the country true to that grand destiny
which points itself out in the sublime
future as awaiting this most prosperous
of all nations. The number of the
States has nearly trebled in these ninety
two years. Three new States have
been added to the flag since the War of
Secession was begun. West Virginia
cut herself loose from the Old Dominion
at the outset of the conflict Nevada
was born into the Union, legitimate,
loyal child, amidst the throes of rebel
lion and civil war aud Nebraska has
come in under free and wholly Repub-
lican Constitution, to illustrate and
magnify the business of that cause which
smothered the Lecomp:en inieuity and
gave birth to that great party, which,
christened liz the name of Liberty, Free
dom and Law, and made it possible that
the American Legion Of Honor should
have enrolled among its ilustrious
names the name of Abraham Lincoln.
The foundations of Empire are laid
broad and deep. The superstructure of
States already grown into grand and
magnificent proportions, promises to
reach such magnitude and strength
a. never were known even TO Imperial |
Rome. The glories Of this proudest of
days are imperisbable. All that is
proudest and most patriotic clusters
about its memories. 1t is an occasion
when men and women should resolve to
devote themselves anew to the cause of
their country; and when the love of
their noble native land should be care.
fully inspired within the breasts of
those who, within few brief years must
be entrusted with the protection, the
honar and the vast interests of "The
Land of the Free and the Home of the
Brave"

two men named Branton and Adams, in which

THURLow WEED. The New York CONNER
cial contains q card from the editor, ThurlOw
Weed, with reference to hispart in the alleged
attempt to corrupt Senators. The following Is
on extract: .
In explanation of the propositions made to
myself, | have just this to say:
Senator Pomoroy either intended to dispose
of three votes, including his own, or he was
willing that his friends should use his name
to make money or, as some believe, there
was 8 conspiracy between Butler and P0lneroy
to implicate the President, thus obtaining new
material for impeachment.
bly, reasons for this belief are, that several
months since, Mr.. Loggett, an intimate friend
of Senator Pomeroy, wanted the appointment
of Postmaster at LeaVenWorth, Kansas. lie
was supported by Pomeroy, who wrote letter,
which was shown to the Postmaster General,
promising his (Pomeroy's vote for Presidential
confirmation and his influence against impeach-
ment. The Postmaster General was furnished
with copy of Senator Pomeroy letter copied
from the original in his possession, and Leg
gett received postal agency. Some few weeks
ago Leggett appears before Colonel Cooper
with letter from Senator Pomeroy, saying
that he would carry out in good faith any ''ar-
rangemene" made with Mr. Gaylord, who is
Pomeroy's brother-in-laW ;whercupon Leggett
and Gay lord undertake for money, to obtain
the votes of Senators Pomeroy, Nye and Tip
ton did not believe that Senators Nye and
Upton had authorized this arrangement"
nor did believe that either of them would
vote against the conviction OF the President
But | did and do believe that Senator Pome-
roy baited the hooks with which his friend
Leggett and his brother in-law Gaylord fshed.
Whether they caught anything or not, am
unable to say. Nothing, certainly, from me
or with my consent. THURLOW WEED.

JOURNEY IN A WHEELBARRoW.- About
three weeks since, says the Schenectady Star
of the 2lst, many Of our citizens wondered at
the strange sight of a man wheeling woman
and child through our street in Wheelbarrow.
The following account, which we condense from
the last issue of the Saratoga Sentinel, will ex-
plain the matter .,.-..r... ........ ...- -. .
On the lst of March last, q Mr.. Spier, then
residing at WATERFOWL, in this State, having
an invalid wife, who lost the usesof her lower
limbs, on being told that the mineral waters
here might prove cure, started from Water
town with q wheelbarrow, containing his wife
and an infant child of twenty months, together
with a few articles, making the load he had TO-
wheel some $50 pounds. He was also accom-
panied by his other child, boy Of some six
years of age, who walked the entire way here,
from Watertown, while his father wheeled in
in the barrow the poor decrepid wife, baby, and
a few quilts, &c. g. he had. During the snow
storm In April, while in Lewis county, the fam
lily were compelled to lay up in shanty for
eight days, food being furnished them by the
neighbors. On Saturday last, the group ar
rived at Saratoga. and through the exertions
Of some Of the citizens of the village, were
provided with means to, go to housekeeping,

years OF age, his wife being q little his junior.
It was on the recommendation of two physi-
clans that Mr.. Spier left WATERFOWL upon his
