SACRAMENTO, June 30, 1855.

To the Citizens of Sacramento City and
County:
TJNHE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HAVING IN
l. charge the celebration in Sacramento of
the One Hundred and Ninth anniversary OF our
Country's Independence, have selected me to
act as Grand Marshal on the approaching
Fourth. Grateful for the compliment conveyed
in the choice, l assume the duties with some
hesitation. rs the time is brief in which to
properly do all things necessary to achieve a
successful celebration.
But will not every citizen of Sacramento city
and the surrounding country cast aside all luke
warmness or indifference, if any has heretofore
prevailed, and with one accord join hands with
the Committees and Grand Marshal in making
The celebration brilliant success? Every man,
woman and child is expected to dc their duty
on that day and there is no doubt of the result
The Grand Marshal sincerely requests the CO.
operation and advice of all in his efforts to
make the Morning Parade equal to any hereto
fore witnessed in the city. All things are aus
picious now for one of the most patriotic and
enjoyable days the citizens have ever been
invited to attend.
The Forenoon Procession. the Literary Exer-
cises at midday, the Grand Military Pageant
and Variety Programme of Company {" E at
the Park in the afternoon, under the auspices Of
that Company the Regatta N the early evening
and the grand finale OF the Mardi Gras by torch
light through the streets, promise to every va
riety of taste and disposition a programme of
patriotism, fun and frolic that cannot but prove
fruitful of good results. But to insure its sue
cesStul termination, the energetic citizen must
lend a willing hand to the cause. The time and
crn oil py n poph
and bear its reward. To that end the Grand
Marshal respectfully requests that
The Merchants, the Mechanics, the Trades
men, the Manufacturers and all buSin ssses unite
in making a special feature of the Business En-
terprises of the city and county in the process
sion.
That every Society and Organization, Mill
tary and Civic, turn out in full force to add to
the popularity and strength of the column on
the march,
That the County and City officials exert them
selves to aid the Committees and Marshal by
every means TO insure the ends so much desired.
In a word, that each and every one act
well his part if he would see the I" day we cele-
brate' unsurpassed i'll the excellence of its oh.
servance.
Societies and Organizations that may not have
yet received invitations, should at once notify
the Invitation Committee, at the Capital Hotel.
so that they may be added to the list at once.
The public are notified that the Route OF
March this year will be short. as the time is
limited. and therefore there may be no unpleas-
ant anticipations of hot and tiresome marches
over dusty streets
The Grand Marshal earnestly desires that the
gentlemen who will be invited to act as his Aids
will respond favorably where it is possible for
them to do so. and that they viii advance no
excuse to decline, as their expenses will be but
a trifie and it is designed to make the cavacade
of Aids particular feature in the line.
Each gentleman receiving an invitation to act
as Aid will kindly notify the Grand Marshal OF
its receipt, so he will at once know upon whom
to depend.
Concluding, again ask that the public lend
me their undivided aid on this occasion, and
they may rest assured will do my duty.
