AiNM VKKSAKV OF AMUR I CAN 1NDEPENDENX'K ! ! ! The Committee appointed to make arrangements for celebrating the Fuurlk t.fJuhj 1 G23, convened on Tuesday the 21th "tilt, at the house of Mr. James C. Caldwell, in this town, and selected as Marshall, Col. Joseph Can the Hon. James. Scolt as president, and the Hon. Jonathan Jennings as vice-president, of the day. The Committee thrn proceeded to appoint iho Rev. J, llar.traonn (as Chaplain, and Thomas J. To il, F.sq. Orator of tin; Dav, and selected imnc A'ryhr l((, to km.1 the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. The Committee then employed Mr. Cfuirlrs Ii. A'jor, to prepare a puldic dinner suitable to the occasion, and consented for him to set his table at the west en.i of Cbarlestown. The following resolution was then adopted: Ptsulvrrf, unanimously, that captain J Jm .V. l.nnun aad his company of Artillery, und captain Joseph Gibson and hi Kii'.e Company, he, and they arc hereby, iipectfully, requested to aid in a .Military capacity r.nd participate with us in the celebration of the ensuing Anniicrscry of American Inibpendence. On motion, the Committee then adjourned. JOS: A, LING AN. Srty, 1. N wr.nn declinpi serving 'n this capaf ;tv, in consequence of a cclc!ra.tion at New-Washingi-on, ;it which he is hound to attend TO Tltr GOOD CITIZENS OF CHARLESTOWN AND THK INHABITANTS SURROL'NDINtt IT. rn'rnrls mid Friloiv-Cilizens, We deem it proper to come thus before yon with the following narrative, appeal and invitation. In the Indiana ii'rllin-rr and Farmers' Friend, of the inh uh. due notice was published requesting a meeting of the citizens on the Saturday next succeeding, at theCourtIlo'i.', lo make preparations lor celebralin'j; the birthday of American Independent o, TIm- proceedings of that mce.tinrj were nNo piiidihed in the paper of this place, dated June 25th, which, no doubt, the greater part el' you have noticed. The Committee appointed at said rv.eeting, pursuant to ajrie.enient, met af. the Cror;s

keys, ca-t of the Court House, on Tuesday the 'J-lth ult. and made their arrangements as yon will find published in this day's p;iper, and to which also we wish to dra? your attention. We did hrpc your rommittee had made such selection of ofliccrs .and other arrangements as nopait of the community could object to, nor could we anticipate a schism; but to our inexpressible surprize we have been disagreeably disappointed. We iiuht here observe, that the Committee had no haiid in their otvn appointment, not m.uiv. than one or two of them being present at the time, and although thev felt honored by the appointment, thev courted not the favor, nor expected to give any umbrage in fullilling the duty unsigned tliem. JNow we appeal to von as careful oh' server)-, and as warm friends to our Common country, whether we have not, as member.-, of the committee of arrangements, done all that men could do, under ( sitting circumstances, to promote harmony and excite felicity, in celebrating the approaching .-'.universary of our independence. We know many of the citizens have signed, innocently, a subscription paper for a dinner, set up in opposition to the arrangem-nts of the Committee; but we are confident of their approbation, even f we should le deprived of their com-

; pny, -Hid of ir,r,f rdio Iccrrih h rcrct

orxlrvnaniethvpenlij', and we will go on to justify and meet the arrangements. The disrespect that has been levelled by some, at the Committee, is unnecessary now to bring into view, neither can they sj)f akor think of this fubject but wall relief. Mc uho espouse Republicanism, and are the fust to put down legitimate power, are unit to have any contidul in our municipal or military regulations; and .thai we do, as one man, enter our piotcst against such proceeding. Two parties were not thought of perhaps when the Committee were chosen, and there is but one dissenting voice in our body to the arrangements." J3ut, it sometimes happen, that, "virtues lore themselves in inUmt, as the mvrj ksc themselves ni the ocean." We most cordially invite such of you, hoth in town und country, as can make it convenient, to dine with us on said day, tho' we think it proper to direct your attention to thi restrictions laid on us in the proceedings of the 21st ult. where they say, that, all those -ln pur take must pay. CtT Soldiers of the Revolution are earnestly invited by the committee, and do not fall within the above rule.

Messrs, Lingan & Dunkin, Several of the news-prints state, and we hope it is true, that the PostMaster General has resigned that office, no matter whether with or without his own consent, it forms additional matter f.'.r national rejoicing at this, season, and the people should have. :his notice accordingly. V cannot say who is cr will be his successor ii office, but trust it is or jjill be another (Iidion Grainger, who will choose for his Deputes, only such as will serve both the peopl; and the government which belongs to them with united faithfulness and cleverness.

Wi learn tha k.tukn J. Meigs has r;signe 1 the office of Postmaster General of the Unittrl Sute3. His successor is not yet designa'ed. It i stated in the New York newspapers, in an authoritative tone, that Mr. Meigs was Timo'f"i from office. For this statement there it, no foundation. The President in accepting this gentleman's resignation, which dues not take effect until the first day in next month, did it in terms of acknowledgment H consideration tor his patriotic services, especially in the late war.

Trent the Nashville Gazette, A gentleman of the first respectability, and a member of the Legislature of Louisiana, writing to his friend in Nashville, on the subject of ihe Presidential Ejection, confirms our former opinion of the public feeling of that State, and assures him that no Legislative trick or pretended caucus can destroy the gratitude and veneration which her citizens feel for the Hero of N. Oi leans. However great the talents, of Mr.

Clay, as an orator and diplomatist it cannot be und that they have h bored so much for the good of this country. It cannot be contended that tiny have sustained him in services parallel to thos-j of Jackson and especially when Louisiana is chiefly indebted to the latter of her glory and riches, it is difliciit to suppose that she will relinquish him, to support the man most generally known as the one essayed to be his destroyer their saviou's enemy. The correspondent says " In the caucus, ifa vote had been taken in

the usual manner, Mr. Clay would not have been nominated. They (his partizans) broke up the meeting of their own accord, and no vote was taken, notwithstanding the pompous signatures of the President and Secretary. It was all a trick In this State it makes no impression. The people know nothing of Mr. Clay, and are not for him. They arc lor Jackson."
