ORATION Spjlen by Jons Joussos, Esqr. At the celebration cf the 4th of July, at Mr.-Abraham 'Decker's, TeHora Citizens, IT is no common cccafioti that has convened us the fourth ot July was fct apart by the patriots of '7G, as a day of nation! rejoicing ; it being our polineal birth day. Thirty tour years have glided down the dream of time, Gncc the independence .of Am-rica was proclaimed, and recorded inlleaveiVs chancery. Great politic il and national revolutions icldom take place, and Hdl more Icldom terminate like the America;) revolutionin the liberty and hapuiu-fs of tbofe engaged in it. Man, p! ced iy the hand of his creator in the firft order of brings, was dellined to be free. The organization ol his body the faculties of I'is mind, and the energies of hu will, proclaim the great decree ; whiUt the influence of reafon and of conilience iubferve the purpofes of his dtlliny. Centuries may p. Us, and time roll away, during which p'eriod the page of hittory, nor the records of time, w li exhibit to cur view an age like the prrfent America riling with gigantic flrength, hkc Hercules irom I. is cradle, Sc prefenting to an aHonilhed world, tbeenrrgir.es, w ifdoni and jultice ot a great and efUblitheJ republican government. Our fort fathers tied trom perfecution in tbt old woild. and braved evry danger in fettling America ; in th.it fchool ot adver fitv they were taught a leffon worthy to be

This w s the time to try mens fouls, 3tni tlie hero who nunfully ilepped" forward at this ciilis in deter.re of his countries liberty, deferves the eternal praifc of man and vAMnan. l'or tyranny, in whatever ih tpe it may appear, like hell, is bard to corquer.

Yet all agreed to iiik thrir political falvationin oppolir.g the ty ranny of Lngland, wliicii threatened them with woife than 1-gyptian bondage. Walhington aroTc to lead his biave countrymen on to victory, deliberately rtfolved to conquer or to die wifely concluding to Qruggle for liberty in the face of death, preferring death to bondage. The atdent bravery which animated their mighty chief caught from line to line, from rank to rank. Neither ftarvation, nakednrfs, extreme cold nor the moft cxcrutiating iu fieri tigs could damp the ardour of their courage, or extinquilh the florae which biased around the altar of liberty. Thus did Wafiiington, the tuft and belt of men, like the Uripling of Ifrael, with his little band of patriots, & with icarcely a weapon to attack, and without a Ihield to defend, met, and nndifrrayed engaged and vanquilhed the hirtd holts of Engiand. Gn the fourth day of. July, 1776, the Americans declared snd publilh ed to the world tjieir freedom and independence. O I glorious day when the Americans, untutored in the fcience of hum-in butchery deftitute of the fatl materials -which the ineenuity of man has
