The National Anniversary.


The anniversary of our national blfti
is to be generally celebrated to-day foi
the reason Of its falling npon the Saobath.
1t is appropriate that at each recarrln2
anniversary the book of memory should
be opened, and the record of the deeds and
influences which brought the nation into
existence rehearsed, for the Jubilee of our
Independence, like antique relies, grow
dearer as it grows older There is not
another example like that of our own
great nation in all the pages of human
history. Many deluded nations have sue
ceeded in rearing the Temple of Liberty
and yet how few have Toasted their eyes
upon the fair spectacle, ere vice and cor
ruption, undermining the beautiful edi
flee, have erected upon its crumbling
ruins the sternest despotism that human
ingenuity could devise. 1t is neither thu
spirit that provoked nor the ability thar
achieved the revolution, upon which We
boast on our nations birth day it is the
wisdom which planned, the virtue that
preserved and the integrity that be-
queathed US that sacred charter, without
which revolutions are vain and submis-
sion preferable to resistance. It was this
disinterestedness, this patriotic devotion
to posterity and their country, that dis
tinguished our aneostars from the yulga
herd OF mere revolationi-ts
With them place and power were only
instruments to effect national iudepend-
me, and individual prosperity. For oul
rest they laborel; for orr peace they
warred; for our freedom they conquered
And when a kind Providence, worthy
cause and an uud4uutel spirit had ena-
blei them to secure the adoption Of those
democratic institutions cauteudel for, they
drop, one hy one, from the high places t.
which their merits had exalted them, t

deemed, to watch the operations Of Gov

selves its equality, to enjoy the living

"The new Legislature will convene on

Whelmly Democratic Every Republican
measure, obnoxious to the late Rebel ele-
ment, will be repealed speedily. Andy

Constables, will be displaced to make room

be accomplished, however, we confidently
expect that justice will step in aud set
matters right"
1t is remarkable with what to-
nacity these Radicals clutch the
hope that the federal government is
going TO interfere with the result Of
the late election in this State. They
seem to think that Grant will yet
do something TO retain power in
their hands. They talk as if they
had some assurance from Grant that
he is at least with them in sympathy,
and the fact that he has commenced
the work Of removing the office
holders who favored the election of
Senter is strong presumptive evil
dencc that they reckon correctly.
But the hope that he will attempt to
set aside or interfere with the late
election is delusivc. The Radicals
of California might with equal pro-
pricty call upon him to interfere in
their election. W hen the President or
Congress attempts to interfere with
local election in this State, that
step can DO regarded in no other
light than rs a usurpation Of the
most fragrant character, for it would
lie an effort TO strike down the SOW
ereigutv Of the States in a purely
local matter, and every State in the
Union would be Interested in resist
ing such q high-handed assumption
of mower. However much Grant
might desire to place Stokes and bis
henchmon in power in this State
he is powcrlcss to do so, unless he
is prepared to trample the constitu'
ton under foot in a more fragrant
manner than has yet been done
even by the Congress that is ready
to do his bidding.
