est Of the display.
After passing through the principal
streets the large asssmblage gathered
in the Park and WAS called to order by
j. A. Town, Esq, the Marshal OF the
Day. After u National Air by the
WOrthington Band a Chorus Of two
hundred voices. led by L.. NJ. Lsnge.
Esq.,, sang Hail Columbia" An ap-
propriate prayer was offered by Rev.
r. L: Fisk. The Band played another
National Air, and the chorus sang tho
"Star Spangled Banner'' with One
effect. The Declaration of Independ-
ence was read impressively by Rev. &.
3. Ware. After further music, iustru-
mental and vocal, the Grafton was de-
Nvered by Robert McCune. the editor
Of the ADVANCE. The theme was,
''The Teachings of the Declaration"
Tho speaker said tho great body ut the
British People were not tho oppressors
Of the Colonies. A weak, obstinate
king. susceptible Of flattery. jealous Of
soysl prsrogatives, with bad advisers,
supported BY flattering eourtiers,
wero responsible for tho wrongs and
neglects which drove the colonies to
the act Of separation. The Declara-
tion announced doctrines which found
response in the hearts and consciences
Of intelligent and just mon in all the
world. That document which declared
the birth of free Nation became tho
creed of free governments as fast as
they came into being. 1t had destroyed
respect for the claim that kings rule
by virtue Of q divinely conferred right.
Rulers are now held responsible to pub.
lie sentiment. They were now judged
by the conscience OF the world. A
large immigration comprising many Of
the best men and women Of the old
world was tho nrst result Of our inde.
pendence when it was achieved. The
colonists were British subjects who
demanded here the rights they or their
fathers had before they crossed the
seas. The adoption Of the Federal
Constitution Was the next important
atep Of progress, and became the
means Of larger and continuous pros
psrity.
After the address the Band played
appropriate music, and the choir sang
4'.America." The BeDediction was pro.
nounced by Raw. Mr.. Franzen. and an
intermission was had for dinner.
At one O'Clock the Callath umpians
took the field. The reader must excuse
Us from the task Of describing this
immensely and intensely funny parade.
In the way Of burlesque and merriment
It was oil that it WAS expected to be-.
Nearly all the serious exercises OF the
day were burlesqued Ia most conical
style. The secret orders with high
sounding titles were matched with the
