The Fourth of July.

Scarce an exchange has reached us during the
past month which did not bring record of Grafton
delivered on this memorable day in our history.
Many of these are trite and commonplace and few
touch upon point which Americans should ever
remember and that is, that our progress and adj
vancement, though due in measure to the glorious
land we inhabit teeming with all the blessings that
a good Providence grants to man and to our pluck
and energy people, is owing infinitely more to
the institutions under which we live. To illustrate
this more fully let Us look at the Northeastern
States of our Republic, known as New England
and compare their condition with any of the pro-
vinces of Canada The soil of many parts of
Canada especially that part known as Ontario, is of
most excellent quality; it has abundance of SUI
perior timber, unbounded advantages of water
power, vast mineral wealth and people belonging
to the same race as ourselves, and yet behold all
these blessings for humanity neglected and coun-
try almost in a condition of nature.
Turning to New England, we see even the rocky
hills of New Hampshire and the sterile plains of
Massachusetts brought up to degree of fertility
capable of yielding abundance for the support OF
man. while every rill is utilized for the purposes of
the loom spindle and forge. The offspring of Eng
land. Scotland, Ireland, Germany, and France make
up the populations Of both Canada and New Eng
land Then, why the difference? Because in the
one country the sentiment, promulgated in that God
given instrument our Declaration of Independence,
"we hold these truths to be self evident, shat all
men are created free and equal, that they are en-
dowed by their Creator with certain inalienable
rights, among which life, liberty, and the pur-
suit of happiness, is believed in and practced up
ON, and in the other it is abjured and denied.
This inspired sentence has been rdiculed as false
AS a mere handsomely constructed sentences
rhetorical hourish-by those either too ignorant to
understand or too proud TO admit its truth. JEFF
ferson of course was not such idiot to assert
that all men were created free and equal save in
their right to themselves and in this respect the
day laborer is the peer of the titled lord, Judging
4 by our American standard Such alone is the mean
ing of the sentence We Americans are fully aware
that man cannot come up to the full strength OF
his individuality the entire knowledge OF his capa
bilites while at the same time his most laudable
ambitions will be crushed in any land where he does
not feel himself equal in national rights to all Other
men He is, as II were, small struggling shrub il

General sherman's Tribute to the Army.

From an address delivered recently by Gen w.
T. Sherman at Orchard Lake, Michigan, we extract
the following sentences, expressing admiration for
them and our entire belief in their truthfulness
Our orators are won't said he to indulge in flights
of fancy the danger liberty ard civil government by
army, deriving their from old English pre-
iuices and examples To the fidelity of her army En-
gland the stability of her government and the pro-
verbal respect paid to her courts of law and civil admin
istTation Search her literature and you will find
beautiful tribute to this fact than Dickens pays the
troops who suppressed the Lord George Gordon riots
described in Barnaby Ridge after the civil authori-
ties had become palalyzed with fear by the action of
a wild mob. Our country furnishes innumerable
ampes of the absolute respect paid to the supremacy of
law by the soldier element OF America but why search
for examples when the majestic of 1865 stands
of record? The admiration of mankind, of army of
million of men, who could have usurped all civil power
but which silently and peacefully restored their
the public arsenas stripped off their uniforms and
sumed their accustomed places i'll the ranks of the peo
pie.
In this country we will say in addition to the
above remarks and only in this the soldier IS lost
IN The citizen While bearing arms it is true he is
subject to the commands of his officers and these
should be and will be obeyed, but never against the
interests of liberty The American rife thinks,
Behind is an intelligence, which demands respect
and Will maintain it. Even our regular army, com
posed largely of the foreign element could never be
used to the detriment of freedom. Think you there
is an Irshman or German ia that army who would
not either shoot at sight the scoundre aid in hang
ing him to lamp post, who would make an effort, by
means of this army, to establish himself as the per-
manent ruler Of this country at the White House
And then, too, as to the volunteer soldiers should
the attempt adyerted to be made, you would find
$4,000 of them il Washington in twenty-tour hours
prepared to clear out the usurper. General Sher-
man alludes to ''the million of men who could have
usurped all civil power" Do the people Of this Re-
public ever think seriously of this fact, If they
do, it should lead them more deeply to regard the
interests of the men, who with every opportunity
for the qualification of sordid and ambitious motives
utterly ignored them both, and retired to their hum

bic homes, to begin again their lives of honorable
toll. Recognizing these as facts, who will be SO
mean, dastardy, brutishly uagratefu as to
refuse the poor pittances of bountes and pensions
to these noble men. If there be such they deserve
to be expatriated from the land they dshonor while
their lands goods and chattes should be conscated
for the benefit of men, who alone have preserved
civil liberty for this people to enjoy, we hope through
all coming ages

almost entirely to Office furniture. The Ii.

fling. The military department have taken
quarters for the present in the entresol Of

In the Singer building, and there is nothing
in the distribution of mails in the city to
indicate that the department has been dis

The efficient work Of the fire patrol and fire

GRANT AND THE IRISH.

from the San Francisco Examiner.]
Referring to the contemplated visit of General
Grant to Ireland the Marysville Appeal remarks:-
General Grant will receive very hearty reception
In Ireland. Irishmen are generally brave and they
admire the brave military achievements of General
Grant.
Yes. the Irish brave, General Grant very
we'll knows. and they generous and mag
unanimous they are brave. Therefore they will
give him a hearty reception. But their hospitabls
conduct toward him will only place in harsher con-
trast his notorious ltreatment of their countrymen
in his land, when he at the head of the army
and while he President. proscriptive
hatcr Of the Irish and bigoted enemy OF the
religion OF ninetenths OF that people lived.
To be Irish, under General Grant to be stricken
from the line of compliment praise or promotion;
and during his Presidency the warning was ever fg
urativey hung out in front of the White House, vNo
Irish need apply In battle he invariably ordered
the regiments with most Irish in them to where the
fire hottest and the peril greatest; but when it
came to mention in his Official reports somehow lie
could hardly recollect an Irish name, if he
did it was to slur slight it. In politics, he
viewed the Irish utterly unworthy his considera-
ton. When Irishmen vote for Grant they disgrace
themselves.
