HARTFORD, July 4, l845
Eusning of the Third and Morning of the Glorious


Fourth-Ihe Fourth in this City-Ine Orator Of


the Day-Appropriate Ceremonies


The Mayor, at an early day, having issued his pro-
clamation, by authority, that fire crackers, fire
balls, or barrels could be burned in our streets,
on this national OCCASION sundry persons, too nu-
TO mention, to arrest, not having the fear
of said law before their eyes, did, with malice and
sport aforethought, set fire to sundry millions Of fire
crackers on said Mayors steps, and at a few other
public places in this cItyand not content with CIV
ing such sautes they burnt several tar barrels,
ly out Of compliment to the Mayor, and threw fire
balls until their arms ''ached" This they kept up
until three O'clock with an occasional alarm of fire,
Just to rouse out the fremen when, to have bon
hre worthy ofshe OCCASION" some wicked person
SCI he TO barn IN the south part OF the CITY,
which was consumed. A barn adjoining, was also
one half burnt. Thus the whole night was made
hideous.


'Tne Fourth went of, otherwise, very tamely, in
this city. The bells were rung at sunrise-no ma
tlonal salute was fired by city fathers and even
our State House was left unadorned with the new
and beautiful State flag which act shows the reve-
renee that our Comptroller has for the day-a real
old blue-ight federal feeling. Nothing would have
been done, except above stated, had uot number
of young and patriotic gentlemen, through whose
| veins flows the blood and spirit Of rs, determined
not to let the day ''pass off by defaut' unhonored
They therefore invited on the I'd instant, Seymour
N. Case, Esq, who year ago was the law partner
of our democratic candidate for Governor to deliver
an Grafton on the steps of the State House-but as
he in whose charge the State flag, had not re-
verence enough for the day, and for the blood split
in the revolution for freedom, to raise said flag
on the State House, they very properly adjourned
few rods east in front Of the American Hotel and,
in the stoop, from the second story, with the flag of
the United States, waving over his head, did the
the Orator of the day do justice to himself, his
try, his ancestors, and his fellow citizens. The
great audience who listened to him were highly
entertained, and manifested their appreciation by
frequent and repeated outburts OF applause. The
ladies' too, God bless them,who graced the occasion
with their bright eyes, manifested their patriotic
feelings for the orator, by the wreaths and
boquets thrown to him. For what more could Clay,
Calhoun, Webster. McDuffie, even Demosthenes
himself ask in token of the appreciation OF their
efforts.


should have mentioned before, that General Ma
than nj. Waterman presided. John W. Skinner,
Esq., was the reader of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence.


The meeting, upon the descent of the orator, who
had both hands filled with the trophies won on the
occasion, fell in four abreast, and escorted him to
his lodgings, at the City Hotel.


Thus passed off the glorious Fourth Of July in the
| city of Hartford.
