Let Us Celebrate.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I earnestly hope cur people throughout
the land will this year observe both the
9Th of January tomorrow), the anniversary
of Jackson's glorious victory over the Eng
lish at the battle of New Orleans, and also
the 22d of February, Washingtons birth
day, with the old-time fervid patriotism
and enthusiasm.
1t will, am sure, admirably serve to
open the blinded eyes Of the present Brit
ish generation, who seem to know nothing
of our history in their supreme, cultivated
ignorance and egotsm.
Let us jubilate! Hang. out the banners
on the outward walls" revive the old
proud memories and traditions! We, in
deed, want no war-above all. with Eng
land; but let US make very plain to her
and all the world that we are now full
grown and our resources boundless; that
We are graduated in the stern school of
war as no other nation has ever been; that
We know our rights, and, knowing, dare
maintain them" L. H. T.
