OwAToNNA. July 3.-We are blessed with an
other brilliant day, cool and exhiliarating.
The town is full of life and hustle. Exten-
sive preparations are being made for the NOR
row. The American eagle will spread his wings
on the blast of manya horn. Patriotism will
effervesce, bubble over and collapse. vast
amount of breath will be wasted on the desert
air, and many a poor dog will go bowling to
his lair, after some
YOUNG AMERICAN,
with the instructive genius of his race, has
popped bunch of fre-squibs in his ears. Go
where you will, tomorrow will be a large cay.
The East and the West, the North and the
South, the mountains and the valleys, the cit
les and the villages, and the country
places, the shouts of ioy, and
the songs of rejoicing, the
rustic of the
STARRY BANNER
as it proudly floats on high, tho booming of
cannon and the spreld eagle conceptions that
will be evolved in the human mind and poured
into the listening ears of the assembled multi
tudes, and the general tumult and hurrah will
tell US that the great American heart vet throbs
with patriotic love of liberty, and Of the fun
damental principles of American institutions.
We will be reminded of the scriptural passage of
the stone cut out of mountain symbolical of
a nation born in clay.
