"1776!"

This day is our national Sabbath—the 1 anniversary of (lie glorious declaration of Independence of tho American colonies from the oppressive thraldom of Great Britsain. Until that Declaration was made, cen•turies had passed the lapse of tijne, when people had been bold enough to assert .their rights and attempt to maintain them at the cannon's mouth against the force of kingly powers. What prodigies of valor were performed—what .suffering was patiently endured—what wondrous sacrifices were made by our illustrious ancestry, and what at length terminated in the great victory achieved—proud, haughty, tyrannical 'Britain was humbled and brought to sue for peace and gladly release all claims on the Colonics to save her other territories *—has been the marvel of the enlightened world. As our success was a marvel, so also have tho benign institutions which they trausmitted to us been our boast ami pride, whilst in fur distaut climes the oppressed subject glories in our happy form of government, and his highest, holiest aspiration is to reach our hospitable shores and share iu the blessings that only are given to a united people under a free government.

It is true that unaided our then Colonies could only have nieceeded by that aid of the God of Battle, who ever is on the side of right, and who brought to our suffering shores the noble spirits of La Fayette, De Kalb, Montgomery, Kosciusko, and the thousand others from foreign climes, to mingle their means and their blood in the common destiny that awaited the grand (struggle of the colonies in the sustainauce of human rights. The acknowledgment of the independence of the Colonics gave to our country what the civilized world had never seen in any country—a free press— free speech—free education—free religion —free politics, and a happy, united, free people, proud of their institutions and determined to maintain them against every threatening power. Under the benign effects of our uncqualed institutions, as a nation the increase of our commerce has been BO rapid that already the United States merchantmen not only whiten every sea, but carry more tonnage than the vessels of old England that has long elaimcd the mastery of all open waters. Our navy is strong and powerful, and all our merchantmen, ever at the command of the general government, can at a moments noti«e be speedily converted into men of war. Every American citizeu is a soldier or sailor, and the impetuosity of thcir courage, the regularity of their discipline, the willingness with which they rally around the insignia emblazoned upon our national standard, strikes terror to the hearts of all the combined powers of the world. The arts and seicnccs flourish beyond example. Manufactories have increased beyond the fondest dreams of our forefathers. Agriculture has made our country the feeders of all the impoverished nations on earth. Our population has increased so rapidly that no enumeration can record our numbers, and with that increase of population the whole extent of our former country has not only been made to blossom like a rose, but a boundless expanse of country has been acquired, and it all resounds with the happy song of the thrifty husbandman or the energetic efforts of the daring adventurer.— To such a position have wc arrived, that already the name of an American citizen is a safe passport throughout the inhabitable'globe. Nothing can ever check us in our rapidly spreading power and glory but intestine troubles, and from these, may the God that has led us to all our immense prosperity, forever protect us! Greece, Rome, Venice, Genoa, all stood against the combined efforts of their euemics until intestine feuds destroyed them. The Roman forum is a cow market—the Tarpeian rock a garden place—the palace of the Caesar's a rope walk—all tho hallowed spots of former republics are only now attractive to the traveler on account of the tribute due to decayed greatness.

Amid all the blessings which we, as a people enjoy, with all the lessons of the

past looming up in history, as beacon lights to avoid the rock upon which the ships of other republics have Broken, the means by which other nations /have been compel-^ ed to pari with their liberties—with all th3? admonitions ofTthe past, .and all the promise of the brilliant futnre, it is apparent to every thinking mind that there "are many who would lay a fratricidal hand upon the benign institutions erected by our illustrious ancestry, and which ws are bound by the most holy obligations to the latest generation that may succced, until God's government alone shall prevail. Let us go on then in our glorious duty, developing the glory of our country, ever turning a deaf car to that serene song that would separate us from our obligations to the past, the

prcsent and the future. The man who will

calculatcd to

advocate measures, calculatcd to disturb the beautiful harmony existing between the sisterhood of our States, should not only be "despised of all men," but the "lower deep," which Milton prayed for would not be low enough to contain him.

America presents a bright future! lleligious persecution has been successfully triumphed oyer. Our shores are still invitingly left open to the oppressed of all nations. Negro-fanaticism is rapidly waning. The prcvalcncc of Democratic doctrine bids fair to last forever. The last blow has been given to rebellious spirits within our borders, and all the nations of the earth respect pur flag. The patriots heart glories when he contemplates the prosperity of our country, and he feels a glow of pride amid all our welfare, as he reflects that it is all due to that eternal principle which recognizes the true sovereignty of man—the only doctrinc that ever has or ever can give "equal ami exact justice" to any people.

All our blessings, all our welfare, all our freedom, all the enjoyment of this hour, all the excellence of this day, and the rich fruition promised for the future, must not slack the watchfulness of the patriot— "Eternal vigilance is tho price of liberty, and the hearts blood of the true patriot is comparatively nothing, to the honest, faithful, self-sacrificing principle which should be the governing rule of every true American—native or adopted—inliisadhcrancc, devotion, and defense of the uncqualed institutions of our glorious country. As the child leans upon the breast of its mother, tho principles of liberty should be sang to it the student should bo taught them in his lessons—the young man should pride ir. them—tho middle aged should revere them—and the aged, sinking to the grave, suspended by the last throbs of struggling mortality will then ever turn with a benediction upon our happy institutions, and pray fervently that thoy may last forever.

TIiis done and America can never be added to the list of Republics, the inscription upon whoso ruins is, "they were but they arc not." The mournful ditty now sun^ in effeminated, decayed, powerless Uafj:.. -0 Ktmiu! Koma! Roma!

COMMON I'M:AS COURT. The Common Picas Court of this county commences on Wednesday next. We understand that the Docket is about double as large as usual. The following is a list of Officers and Jurymen of the coming term, viz:

Hon. L. C. Dougherty, Judge. W. 0. Vance, Clerk. 13. W. Hauna, District Attorney. Jurors—Jacob Winn, Jas. Simian, William Peterson, Simeon Grenard, Martin O. Sidener, George W. Clark, Smith Conner, Jos. Reyer, David II. Ilostcttcr, William C. Young, William Miller and Geo. Stiuccamp.

TIIE KENTUCKY HARVESTER. Now is the time for every farmer to possess himself of one of these celebrated machines. The harvest is now at hand and there is no time to lose. The Kentucky Harvester is without qucstiou superior in every respect to anything of the kind that man has yet invented. The rapidity with which it does its work, its simple construction and the easy manner with which it is managed, renders it invaluable to the farmer. These machines arc for sale at the Montgomery Agricultural Store.

CHEAP «OODS.

We notice that Dr. Prather's store is crowded daily with customers. Everybody says that he sells goods cheaper that any other merchant in the county. His stock comprises every thing in the dry goods line, is of the first quality, and is being constantly replenished. Go to Prather's if you wish to save money.

FINE WAGON FOR SALE.—Any person wishing to purchase a new wagon, built upon the latest and most approved style, and elegantly finished, can be accommodated by calling upon Campbell, Galey & Harter. It will be sold cheap.

NOVEL CELEBRATION.—The prisoners in the penitentiary at Jeffersonville arc to have a grand public celebration, "within the walls," to-dav.

A complimentary dinner is to be

given to Ex-Gov. Wright by his friends at Indianapolis, on the eve of his departure for Berlin—the 13tli pi*oximo.

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY. The United States at present, embraces thirty-one States, indissolubly united, and

Territories rich fruition to speedily join the sisterhood. PTbc mips of oar coufrlry'describe our boundaries and the youngest school boy can tell something of our wealth, our power, arid our talent.— The rapid growth of the United States has been for some time the marvel of the world, yet our extent and our grandeur is susceptible of easily being traced to their great cause—the natural tendency of tiic minds of intelligent men to be free. This principle is eternal, and none will willingly surrender that principle unless overpowered by force. Throughout down-oppressed Europe whenever the populace can take ad-

demonstrates that manhood is superior to oppression that all arc willing to render unto Cresar the tributes that are Caesar's but not one cent more than that which rightfully belongs to him. Throughout the broad expanse of our happy country, every citizen understands the worth of this principle, and from whatever clime he may have came, whatever his nation or origin, he feels aglow of pride every step he takes that there is no power on earth and no combination of powers that can deprive him of his freedom.

With a country so powerful, a people so free, so unanimous in sentiment, so solicitous for their rights, in order to protect all that they hold dear may we not pause and enquire as to what should be the true policy of our own boasted country, to save us from the reefs and shoals which at present surround us? Our own iutcrnal policy is at present well defined, and a happy settlement of the but few contending questions arc early looked for by every patriot."'

Jt is alone to our Foreign Diplomacy that the attention of the American• jicoplc should now be. directed. Startling as the statement may appear, we boldly say that in every trcaU' which our country has made with European powers, wc have come out second to them. In the first treaty with Great Britain, and even in the second, we perhaps done the best that an enfeebled nation could have done. Even in the celebrated treaty of GENT,about which so much has been written, wo did not receive all to which we were justly entitled. From that day until the date of the Clayton and Bulwcr treaty, the British Isle and Europe have in every instance distanced us and at this time, whilst the United States arc quibbling with the English government as to the construction of the Chiton aud Bulwcr treaty, England is gradually, but quietly and privately, fully treating with our natural friends in Central America, making every inroad into our best interest and securing the most available points to protect that interest.

When wc were weak we at times bore the insolcncc in order to avoid worse grievances. Need wc do it now? We need not ask the question, for wc know the honest response of every true hearted American. But what shall wc do? The doctrine laid dutrn by Monroe is finally to be the salvation of free institutions in the Western Hemisphere. The best mode how to do so is at this time one of the perplexing questions of the day. Wc cannot say that wc arc capable of successfully giving advice as to the best mode, yet a few stray waifs may do no harm.

Europe and America arc only connected is commercial interest may mutually agree so far as the interest of nations are concerned. Socially, many deep heart bonds exist between the people of our country and every other nation on the civilized globe. Many hard sighs many troublesome thoughts many tears in our own happy country are given to dear friends in the "fatherland," "oldBrittain," "Scochia," "Erin's Green Isle," la belle France—all nations of civilization, and the same heart felt sentiment goes up to God in their own native land. In emergency the oppressed of Europe will fly to the support of their brethren who live under free institutions, and yet well united the Western Hemisphere is able to cope successfully against all the nations on earth.

There was a time when some of the Southern countries called upon us for "material aid," but weak and exhausted from recent conflict wc felt the necessity of declining their calls. Wc should make no "entangling alliances" at any time, but with true diplomatic management of our diplomatic affairs for a few years, the word entangling will be forever rubbed out of American dictionaries.

Why should we be treating with England, France, Spain—am' power on the Eastern continent—in relation to territory on this side the Atlantic, over which they have no rightful ownership? Let them attend to their own governmental affairs and make such articles of alliance as maybe deemed, just, in order to sustain their own governments on their side of the ocean, and so far as the freedom of the seas interest them. This no man in America desires to disturb them in. Beyond that they must not ask.

When this is the sentiment of every mau who loves out institutions, why is not the Federal administration to be sustained in the boldest measures for the sustainance of the Mouroe doctrine? y,

Under the alliance between France and England, Spain for her "material aid" on the Crimea, and the hope of better support to the throne of Louis Napoleon, these countries contemplate a war upon enfeebied Mexico in order to dispoil her of her rioh country. England is firmly planting herself in Central America, and Spain strongly fortifying herself in her posses-

Let European, ^diplomacy and European treaties be coined to the naturally, legitimate affairs connected with them through onr regular transactions. Beyondthat this country has no business with them. Let, however, our administration cultivate the most friendly relations with all- the nar tions on this side the Atlantic—make what alliances they may deem just in order to defend North and South America froin the rapacity of Europe—-acquire honorably if they can the island of Cuba, and in the event of war from Europe on this continent take it at all hazards. Should war be declared against Mexico by Spun and France annex Mexico to the United States. Sustain President Walker in his honest endeavors for freedom, and from the north of Mexico to the Cape enter into a friendly defensive alliance with all nations for the protection and development of free institutions, and the combined powers of all the kingly governments in the world cannot disturb us in the rapid promotion of our country,—her wealth—her intelligence— her institutions—all the grandeur to which she is capable of arriving.'

We want a diplomacy of our own—an truly American alliamc—or the sceptre of our prowess will depart. The present administration has already given ample assurance of its disposition to prevent any "foreign interference" on this side the ocean, and all that is done in that direction will bo heartily responded to by every one who feels a glow of pride iu contemplating the future grandeur of our country.

CHICAGO MORALS.—There were arrested in Chicago during the past two and a half months two thousand four hundred and eighty persons! Among the rascals arrested were one clergyman, one Black Republican editor, one Black Republican Mayor, one Ex-mcinber of Congress, (Black Republican,) two hundred and nine Cyprians, &c. There were only two doctors arrested and no lawyers.

OgyOne of the evils of great cities is— that they bccome the hiding-places and haunts of every species of infamy and moral leprosy—the seething cauldron of abominations more horrid than those of the weird sisters in Macbeth, and the retreats of systematic villany so complete, that we think the Old Serpent himself must sometimes be amazed at the more than serpentine dexterity of his human scholars.

SNOW IN JUNE.

There was a slight fall of snow at Fountain City, Wis, en last Tuesday night. Old Mother Earth was covered with a dclicatc gauze, and looked, we imagine, greatly like the young lady in this city, who, ou being asked if she wore her white tarlton to the party, replied that she "didn't wear anything else."

that city: The general election came off very quietly last Sunday, with a very large majority for the Government candidates. 'Ihc voting was done at the doors of the churches in the respective districts into which the city is divided. To sec a general election on such a day and at such places, was to me a matter of instruction and so, just before the commencement of our own service, I stepped across the street, and taking position in the vestibule of the church of our Lady of Mercy, surveyed the scene for a few moments. There was not a word or improper action. The citizens walked up to the window, deposited their votes, and turned away. This was plcasantJo behold, rather than the bloodshed and contusion dire, which many expected, who have not sense enough to distinguish between Bue-

Judging from the active part taken by

THE LION'S FEAR OF MAN.—Litenstcin says: that the African hunters avail themselves of the circumstance that the lion docs not spring upon his prey till he has measured the ground, and has reached the distance of ten or twelve paces, when he lies crouching upon the ground, gathering himself for the effort,. The hunters, he says, make a rule never to fire upon a lion till he lies down at this short distance, so that tliey can aim directly at the head with perfect certainty. He adds, that if a person has the misfortune to meet a lion, his only hope is to stand perfectly still, even though the animal crouches to make aspring—that spring will not be hazarded, if the man has only nerve enough to remain motionless as a statute, and look steadily at the lion. The animal hesitates, raises slowly, retreats some steps, looking earnestly about him, lies down, again retreats, till having thus by degrees got quite out of what he seems to feel as the magic circle of man's influence, he takes his flight in the utmost haste.

A NEGRO NOT ALLOWED TO SIT AT A REPUBLICAN'S TABLE.—A negro row recently occurred at the Franklin House, in Canton, Ohio. A colored individual, who had taken a seat at the dinner table, was requstcd to vocate, but refused, when the landlord and his assistants used force, and ejected the "Blaok Republican." The Canton Democrat says:

The remark made by the darkey, after the ejectment was served on him, was quite interesting. He said if this was Her publicanism, to. drive a man from a dinner table provided for the public, he wanted no more of it. He reminded our Republican friend, Ellison, the landlord, that he electioneered with him last, jhll at hisi coal pita to use his influence for "General" Fremont.

f&"The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Times gives the following reasons for Major McCulloch's declining the Governorship of Utah:

Maj. Ben McCulloch, who has been here for several days, was again strenuously urged by the President to undertake the Governorship. The Major, among other reasons for declining, suggested that he would inevitably suffer in public estimation if he should undertake to fulfill the duties of that position, for the reason that the people would expect him to string up Brigham Young at once, and thrash his adherents soundly—gentle pastimes, for indulgence in which he was satisfied the Mormons would give him no pretext, when they found him backed by troops. If a peaceful policy was to be pursued—as he believed it must be necessarily—the Major thought it better that some man of whom the public have a less ferocious idea, and consequently less ferocious expectations, should be the instrument of its initiation and development at Salt Lake. The President was unwilling to let him off on this pica, and then the Major fired his reserve, informing the bachelor Executive that lie couldn't go because lie was intending to get married soon—a duty he had neglected for forty years or more, until his day of grace had nearly expired. This argument brought Mr. Buchanan down. He acknowledged its invincibility, and bowed his acquiescence.

WHAT THE SIGHT OF WATEII RRNMNI": MAY SUGGEST.—As Confucius was standing on an eminence, viewing the many streams stretching out before him, a disciple asked him what there was in the waters to attract his master's earnest notice. Confucius replied: "I see it flowing ccaslcssly, flowing in all directions, refreshing the face of nature, spontaneous in its course. This water is comparable to virtue—in that it flows to the lowest and most intricate places.— This is to denote the principles of rectitude. In its extent and continuity we may see its

minutes before she became fully sensible. Iler mother had lost all hopes of her recovery again to life, and ran to the door, exclaiming she was very unwell, at the same time throwing up a quantity of froth and blood. Mr. Scudder assisted his wife to a bed, and in less than one hour she was a corpse. She was in perfect health previous to this. Her death, no doubt, was from the rupture of a blood vessel caused by the sudden death, as she thought, of her daughter.—Hamilton (O.) Telegraph, 'loth ult.

A Washington letter writer gives a description of the manner in which General Cass takes carc of his physical health.— He says the General carries out his hygicnic habits with the rigor of the Medes and Persians. So careful is lie of his health that he will not dine out, not even with the President, and cannot, under any ordinary circumstances, be induced to keep out of bed after 10 o'clock, p. M. When at Paris at balls, at his own house, be would quietly slip off to bed at the above hour, leaving his wife and three daughters to entertain the company present. This regime accounts for his unwonted vigor at the age of 75 years.

ROBERT J. WALKER'S RICHES. The New York Mirror, whose editor has known Gov. Walker "intimately and thoroughly for ten years,".says of him:

After handling some hundreds of millions of the public money, he left the office as poor as a primative Christian, Since then he may have bought stocks aqd lands and mines that have made him rich. But when was it counted a crime for fortune to reward the sagacity even of a speculator!— In 1843, Mr, Walker invested $1,750 in the purchase of land, on what is now the city of Fon du Lac, for.which he has been offered, within a few months, more than $200,000 and he also bought, years ago, coal and quicksilver mines, which are making him a millioBai^e. ,,

A number of persons in and about London scixcd all the barges and boats they could lay their hands on in the Thames, very rationally concluding, that when the conflagration took place there would be the most safety on the water. A gentleman who had

neglected

family prayer

for better than five years, informed his wife that it was his determination to re' sumo that laudable practice the same, evening but bis wife having engaged a ball at her house, persuaded her husband to put it off till she saw whether the comet appeared or not. The South Sda Stock immediately fell to 5 per cent, and ths India vo II ana the Captain of a Dutch ship threw all hi» powder into the river, that the ship might not be endangered.

The next morning, however, the comet appeared according to the predictions, and before noon the belief was universal that the Day of Judgment was at hand. About this time 323 clergymen were ferried over to Lambeth, it was said, to petition that a short prayer might be penned and ordered, there being none in the Church servicc on that occasion. Three maids of honor burned their collection of novels and plays, and sent to the book-sellers's to buy each of them a Bible, and Bishop Taylors 'Holy Living and Dying.' The run upon the Bank was so prodigious, that all hands were employed from morning till night in discounting out specie. On Thursday considerable more than 7,000 kept mistresses were legally married in the face of several congrcgatiors. And to crown the whole farce, Sir Gilbert Heathcotc, head Director of the Banks, issued orders to all the fire officers in London requiring them 'to keep a good look out, and have a particular eye on the bank of England.'

THE ARMY WORM.—This great plague has fallen upon our farming'community this summer, quite unexpectedly. The army worm, hitherto almost unknown in this country, last week commenced its ravages upon the farm of William McEwcn, hsq., of this place, and to any one unacquainted -with the pest, its destructive powers an astonishing. In twenty-four hours' time they almost destroyed twenty acres of rye for Mr. MeEwen, and notwithstanding vigorous efforts were made to stop their progress, they have entered his wheat, which was more than usually promising, and, we are informed, have destroyed near forty acres. We visited the scene of their ravages, and never before saw such a sight.— Mvriads upon myriads wen seen making the ground Mack. This was when they were leaving the rye field for the wheat.— The army worm is a strange vermin. Starting up in a single night unheralded, they take up their line of march, "terrible as an army with'banncrs," devasting the country as they go. Unless some means can devised to check their ravages and destroy tlicm, our crops will be ruined. But tn destroy them seems impossible, as a hundred, apparently, spring up for every one that is killed.

Let our farmers be on the alert, watch their fields, and if they appear, the most feasible plan we can think of for stopping t'lem out of adjacent fields, is to dig deep ditches, fill up with straw, and, when the worms become entangled, fire the straw.— We do not think they would go over abed of hot ashes. This might not stop them, but if it don't what will ?—Columbus Democrat.

AFFECTING INCIDENT.—The New Vork Courier and Enquirer publishes the follow-: ing extract from a private letter of a gentleman traveling in the west:

Wc had a peculiar and affecting scene in the cars, which cast a deep sadness over the whole day. At Michigan City, where we changed cars, we observed theni moving a sick girl. The party consisted of a brotli cr of about twenty years, a sister of about sixteen, and a mother. The invalid appeared about twenty-five, very cmaciatcd, but with those lustrous eyes so common in her disease, consumption, and which fascinated while it pained us to'look upon her. The tenderness and devotion of her people were really beautiful. After we had gone some fifty miles while she was reclining on her mother's breast, who was gently and carefully smoothing her hair, she suddenly raised herself and fell back dead. Then followed such a scene, of wild and frantic grief, mingled with the noise of the rushing cars, the scream of the locomotive, and the confusion of the passengers, "that no power of mine can describe and this was continued for 50 miles or more. We old tough hearts found there was one little spot not juite hardened.

This lady, it will be remembered, died on the cars of the New Albany and Salem Road near Brookston.

FAILURE OF CATTLE SPECULATORS.-COH-sumcrs who are obliged to pay exhorbitant prices for meats, will not be likely to shed tears over the failure announced by the most prominent and extensive dealers in cattle at the Bull's Head market. Cattle now pass through the hands of several speculators before they reach the butcher's block. Of course each must make a large profit on which to operate more extensively and live in ease, while the poor consumers—the producing classes—must pay. So long as consumers, many of whom find it difficult to keep body and soul together under the present ruling of provisions, submit to the butchers, and the butchers submit to the speculators, so long will this state of thing3 exist. The failure, therefore, of the entire brood of cattle speculators, or their transmission to some field of labor useful to themselves and the community, would be a public blessing. How to produce this result is an interesting question but it could doubtless be solved if there is'a general abstinence from meat for a brief season.—JV. Y. paper.
