the washington Ilght infantry, VINO
are expected to reach New York car
Ily next week on their way to the
Centennial of Bunker Hill, will be
received here and escorted on their
way to Massachusetts, by a body Of
our own citizen soldiery. But it
seems to us eminently wise and pop
ular welcome should be extended at
this time by the people of New York
to. these brethren of ours from the
heroic State which took SO decided
and so prompt a part in the great re-
volution to which We are indebted
for our place among the nations Of
the truth.
Even those who regard South Gar
DINA as the sProdig gal Son. are bound
by all the lessons of Scripture to re-
ceive with a peculiar cordiality and
kindness these brave citizens Of the
| commonwealth that was lost and is
found again. Ifthere be any mean
ing and value in these centennial eel
ebrations which are crowding upon
us now SO fast, that meaning and that
value are to be sought in the revival
of the old ties and early associations
ofour national history. Once upon
1.-THE soil of Massachusetts,, we may be
sure these sons Of South Carolina
will not be suffered to forget how
speedily and with what emphatic en-
|ergy their sires responded to the Ma
cedonian cry Of the Old Bay State
for help against the might Of the
British Grown. In December, l773,
while Samuel Adams and Oliver Wen.
dell and Deacon Boynton and Nathan
Appleton and their sturdy friends
and coadjutors were backing up with
words Of fame the bold deed of Pitts
and Colson and the other stout citi-
zens who for the first time inthe his
tory Of the world found i'll a teapot a
genuine tempest strong enough to
shake an empire in twain, the ances-
tors Of these South Carolinian sol
.Ediers now on their way to us were
forbiddiDg the obnoxious weed to be
landed on the wharves of Charleston
and preparing for themselves an
equal shrae in the trials and the tri
umphs of the great American rebel
lion.
81 The South Carolina OF those days
HAD been a favored and hattered col
ony Of the Grown. But hor people
could neither be cajoled nor terrified
Unto deserving that cause of New
England which they knew to be the
cause Of America and of liberty.
THE Old instincts which made us one
people then are deeper and stronger
| far than the interests which have
Slice for time divorced us. Now
that our interests as well as our in
/ stincts are once more Identical, it
/ becomes this great metropolis of our
enduring Union to lose no proper
I opportunity of attesting its recogniY
ton Of this happy truth.--[New
