The Real Fourth OF July.

On the 3rd of July, 1776, John
Adams, then one of the representa-
tives of Massachusetts in the CONT
mental congress, wrote to his wife
Abigail
Yesterday the greatest question
was decided which was ever debated
in America and greater perhaps
never was nor will be decided among
men,"
In q second letter written the same
day, he said: -:
"But the day is past. The End of
July will be the most memorable
epoch in the history of America. T
ar apt to believe that it will be oele-
brated by succeeding generations as
the great anniversary festival. It
ought to be commemorated as the day
Of deliveranoe by solemn acts of devo-
tion to God Almighty. 1t ought to
be solemnized with pomp and parade.
with shows, games, sports, guns, bells,
bonfires and illuminations, from one
end of this continent to the other,
from this time forward, for ever.
more"
When the resolution was taken
up on the End, Ill the States except
New York, voted to accept it. Thus,
on the End day o. July, l776, the in
dependence of the thirteen united
colonies from the throne of Great
Britain was definitely decided upon.
The End aud not the 4th, may be
called the true date d9 the separation.
We could with propriety celebrate
the Fourth" two dsgs earlier.
That the participants in the work
considered the 2nd as the true date is
showa b7 the letters written by John
Adams, quoted at the beginning Of
this article. The popular fancy,
however, seized upon the 4th, the date
of acceptance Of Jefferson's more dra-
matio declaration Of, tho reasons for
the separation, as Tho proper day to
celebrate. The debate upon the doou.
ment was continued until the after.
noon Of the 4th, aud, says Jefferson,
might have run ON interminably at
and other, season Of the year. But
the weather was oppressively warm,
and the hsll in which the deputies sat,
was close TO o stable. "where the

IN els V. Greene, former president of

that the defendant company did ma
terially aid the revolutiOnists.
The Question Asked.
The question put to General Greene
by Lawyer Rufus 3. COwing, jr., rep

tives of the National Asphalt company
or any of the allied companies, were in
communication with NJ A. Matos, or
other manner"
Reply of General Greene.
"Iy only knowledge" replied Cen
eral Greene, of this matter comes
from what was told me by Messrs.
Mack, Andrews and Sewell When 1

time, and largely on representations
made by me to Secretary Hay. had
