Ii will naturally be expected oi IS, thai xve should not pass unnoiieesi the day Of our national independence. Aud what have we to sayl We could only express the ye-= " feelings whieh afe formed in every bo- som, though not expressed by every tongue. 1t is not to be imagined that on this day, the feelings of one man are better aFld b,icbtor than those of siRether. The saHe yafriotism burns in every breagt, and all greet the recurrence of this anniversary, with the same ardor. II Is our great festi- val, and we regard t as mark of our su- periority that tbs day is celebrated for a reason so much more exalted than that which Causes the celebration of any day III the freest kingdom of Europe. The great festival to an Englishrnan, is not as ours, the celebration of the day of I.lberty's birth in the land. They make jubilee for the defeat and crushing of the gunpowder plot-a day on which pedantic King and his trucking Parliament were saved from death. The greatest which ever occurs there, is the coronation, when the people render themselves to hereditary monarch. Ne stand upon higher ground, for we celebrate a far nobler event. When the very memory of all England's festivals and iubilees shall have passed away like the thin shadow of cloud; forgotten, lost, even as the events commemorated, still, We would fondly hope, viii this day be hailed by ex- ulting mllions-men whom the earth with her multitudes could not chain down or letter with the gilded bonds of slavery.

 We do not intend to say much on this subject We cannot inspire patriotism for ours is no more than equal to that of each of our readers-we cannot instruct them in their duties, for that were presump- ton. But in every difficulty let us remem- Der that our appeal and our cry should be to the Constitution To the Constitution stand by itin all emergencies--for it is the sheet anchor of our Liberty--and the more the storm thlekens, the more truly does i become our only safety. Let it be guarded and defended as we defend our lives and our honor--and let our last gasp be fol Liberty and Union.
