THE DECADENCE OF THE FOURTH OF
Ally

Patriotism Is one of the highest inspira-
tions Of the mind. 1t ranks above courage
which impels one to defend his person, his
family, or his property, because the object
is not so personal. The defense of life, lib
erty, aud property is n natural instinct,
while the defense Of ones country is an nc-
quircd one. Hence every effort should be
made TO instill the virtue of patriotism into
the rising generation. This fact has been
fully understood in all ages, not alone in
free governments such us ours, but in mon
arches and despotsms. The founders Of
the Grecian and Roman republics and the
kings and princes of Europe and Asia have
always endeavOred TO excite love of country
in the citizen or the subject The fathers
of our country appreciated the necessity of
educating the public mind on this question,
and they established the observance of the
| Fourth of July, the day when the grand
principles on which our Republic is founded
were first promulgated. They celebrated it
as the birthday OF liberty-th0 dawning of
n new era in which the inalenable and God
given rights OF man were to he secured to
him.
For generations their descendants fol-
lowed their example with demonstrations
ofioy on that dny-noisy perhaps, but earn
est. 1t was the one holiday peculiar to the
whole American people aud to them alone,
The people of New England celebrated
Thanksgiving Day, the people of the Mid
die States New Years, and the people ol
the South Christmas Day thus marking
their descent from Puritan, HOllander, and
cavalier, hut all alike celebrated the FOurtl
of July. This was common ground wher'
Puritan and cavalier could meet.
Every hamlet aud village, every town
aud city, North, South, Eastiand West, hat
its celebration, in which all classes Of peo

lion. Then the white inhabitants of the
South, sullen at the failure of their attempt
to oyorturn the Government of which the
Fourth of July was the birthday, no longer
observed it. The negroes, to whom it had
not given freedom, adopted the day and
with the Union men of the South kept up
the custom. But they too have
but for two reasons. One Is that such
celebrations are distasteful to their masters,
for now the negroes have masters to whom
LEGREE was saint that should be canon
lied for his kindness, his patience, aud his
virtues Another reason is that even if the
masters permitted it the negroes have no
longer the means to celebrate the Fourth OF
July In the first few years of their free
dom the negroes made good wages, and, the
Republican party being in power, they were
enabled in most instances to secure the
money they had earned All this is changed
