EDITOIUAI_,S. THE. RECENT CENTEN:NlAD OELEBRATION, is one oE which every Ameri can, every true patriot, and lrherty loving man, may justly feelproud. Throughout :his fair land, the people with one accord, with one heart and one voice, asseml)]ecl to manifest their approlJation and proclairn their approval of the commemoration of this auspicious event, This clearly showed their lQve of country, and their• appreciation of tho efforts and merits of Him ancl his coworkers, who purchased for them that priceless boon. Well hath the poet said that, "'When a g reat mandies, "I<'or years l)eyoncl his ken, "The light he leaves behind, "Shine11 on the path of men. " Never in the history of this nor in that of any other nation, has this sentiment been so fully verified, as on the 3oth nlt, when all, inespective of race or clasH, laid aside their labors and donned th eir holiday rittil·e ·and helped to swell the nmnher,

IN THEYVEH Y CONCEYPIO N of t! ndJ a desigu, on th e part of tho people, th ere was somethin g gra1lC1 ; in the unique execution of it, ti1 cre was SO llletliiu g s1iblime. On the one h and i t anJ1onnced the intelligence of the people, anJ on the other, their patrioti sm. and heartfelt gratit ude, for the inestimabl e privileges and blessings which they posses. It is evident tltat, they hail ed with j oy the ad\'ent of tltat dRy, ou which they might withdraw from their chLily pu rsnits, to g o back in thought and fan cy to the clays of our infant republic; and hear· h er history recounted, the h eroic deeds of h er Illustriou s Father and de voted son s expound ed and to r~w i ve their zeal and r enew their lo\Te, for their conntry's freedom. But in so doing let us be minclfLLl that, witl1 pleasnre comes responBihilily. If we heap benediction on onr ancestors, we must stri \·e to follow their example and always end eavor to incll.lcate, and propagate tho:>c priceless prin ciples, tran smitted to us hy them <mel which have been and arc nmv, the delight and adm.iration of the nations of the earth. And when · an other cent ury shall be n1mrtberecl with the past, let us trust that, America will continue to lead the van, in science, art, religion, honor, fam e !

THEEE IS a great deal to lJc admired , in the frankness fo£3.person 's manner, and so much depends on first impressions that, with conviction may it he said that, no labor should be spared to cultivate a candid , and comprehensive manner of expression and urbanity of manners.
