Such things caused multitudes to lessen
their respect for our countrY, and taught
many to hate the Union.... After this,. we
find it advocating disunion, or 'secession.'
Last Decenibei the Tribune said :. '
"If ever seven or eight States send a
gents to Washington to tiny, 'We. want
to get out of the Union,' we shall feel eon,
strained by:our devotion to Human Liber
ty to say; Let them gel .And we do not
see how we could take the other side frith-.
out coming its :direct conflict with those
Rights of Man which we hold paramount
to all political arrangements, howeverconvenient and advantageous."
But numerous articles of like import,
from Greeley 4 Co., aided by. similar stuff
from Jeff Davis A; Co., did not convince
the adminiStration that it was best to `let
the I.?sion slide.' - SO the Tribune strikes
another key on the old instrument, - and a
few days. since, speaking of the advance
of Gen. Patterson into Va., its special cor
respondent;--hired to send news, and to
Mould public sentiment,—says :
- "The.sight of A.he army crossing, the
Potoniae Was very grand and impressive,
as well forthe scene itself, as forthe great
occasion so remarkable and memorable
in its character. 'Was it not the Army of

Fourth of JulT 1861:
The Pecfiliar - circumstances under
which the. Fourth of Ju)y in 1770 was
usherectin, can never recur to the
people of these United States for we' were
then struggling for our'.vC:ry existence as
an independent nation.. (The ninth de
cade of yeah since the Declaration of In
dependence which has made the Foirth
day of July•memorable fOr all time, is al
ready half gone, and of those who toiled
to transmit to us the ,pr eeless boon' of
liberty and independence scarcely any re
main in all the, land. •
Fora long time this our National . holi
day was most religious] celebrated in
every town and:ll=l4,h ' all thpeople.
the booming cannon welcomed its dawn
and saluted its passing' hours-,--the stir
ring fife and drum aroused the old vete
rans to i'iNv life and vigOras they recalled
the days 1 76, and a kindrM spirit inspired
the br'easts DE all classes, !from middle age
to the smallest specimen of Young Amer
lea. . .
They did not ne.gl&t:lto2vill upon the
minister. of our holy religion to invoke the'
blessing of Heaven . upon . our beloved
country, and pray that'•'.througliout all
time we might remain a sappy and united
people.
It was a distinguished,honor to be the
President Marshal of ' the day, and a
still higher aspirgion4f 'some to-be . select- 1
cf.] as the Orator of the °boas' ion, on which
the highest order of 'eloquence was
Souilit. The theme wl fresh and inex
haustible, and ofttinies t e speaker held
-his hearers ni if entranced .by some magic
spell. There was no dis ersity of opinion- celebrating'as to the propriety of thus 'celebratin
the day, mid no 'party . r sectarian end;
to be promoted thereby, but all were . in
spired with- a love f . country, that
•
was really the strongest :bulwark of 'de
f6se against any foreign or domestic
foe.
1_ -
The times slowly changed as scores of
years rolled by, and thelbirth-dav of. our
Independence gradually !lost much of the
influence . which it had exerted in the
earlier yeati of our Nation's history, un- i
til at length the observance,of it in the
Spirit of our Revolutionary sires was fre,-.
quently neglected, and the people were
often content with a Te7perance or Sab
bath School Celebration In many places
the day has !so far degenerated from its
prjmitive design as to' be. observed only
for amusement and joys merriment. it
seems as though in our . alcyon days of
peace and unexampled p osperity, we had
been left to forget the eat price with
ct
which (int inestimable blessings had been
purchased, and bequeat ed tons,and thus
.have failed from year to year to cherish
the grateful commemoration of the ill
ustrious heroes of'76,aiid that dependence,
upon the God of our liberties - which has
been due from 'us as a people. At length
we have ttecemc top much like him 'of
whom in homely verse the ancient -poet.
wrote :
." Old ieshuriab It-ted fat s
And down-the belly hung; .
Against the Lord his God he kicked,-
- . And up his 'buttocks flung." •
. >,
The.circling year brir.gs us Again to
its brightest day, the bit i th-day of our lib
erty-, and the question !arises low shall
the citizens of this great, Republic cele
brate it,-in a mannerwrthy of the des
cendants of the Revolutionary fathers ?
Shall it,, as sometiraes,be entirely neglect
ed; or at most spent in j oyous' festivity ?
Will simply 'a parade [ ofithe Firemen or a
Picnic for the Sabbath chool . content' us
or should itinot rather is hearty co-op
-1 eration of all classes and conditions, di
' vested of all that . squint towards partydr
sect?
It would seem that `u}, these' troublmis
times upon 'which - our erntry hap fallen,
I there could be no divey of senthnents,
las to the manner in wiich it becomes
'American citizens to celebrate our Na
tional anniversary in this year - of grace,.
one thousand eight hundred and sixty one.

on the Fourth of Jely, 'in, which it is

parties would not so , throw:them as to

Let then all our citizens, who believe
tithe Fourth of July is -worth preserving
as one of the time-honored institutions of
our country; heartily unite in Making the

any which have preceded it- . ---a tics that

*P. S. The foregOifig having appeared
in the Republican of this week and the
sentiment connected with the last coup
let orpoetry_havin c g' been regarded as ob
noxious by.some, .I,lle writer deems it an
act of simple justice to say that he alone
is responsible for the language' used:

pose of our Soldiers, in their efforts for
the honor and glory' of our country to
Abolish slavery.
Not deeming it of any impcirtance to
set forth a full explanation of his personal
view of the s uhject, the *titer has only
to express regret, that the language re
ferred to, was not sol happily expressed
as t.o give no occasion for unpleasant

,Supposed Corwin Murder.
On Tues - day, .Tune-11th, Esquire Coll

the Mansion house, n reference to . the
murdered woman found in the vicinity of

was! Caroline , Corwin.. Her husband,
Wril. Corwin, is well known in Scranton,
having relatives here. Ile went •to Green
ville and.wrote to hiS wife that.he had a
job (there on the road, and wished her to
join him. She did so,-,and not Teturning
home as expected, her friends instituted
ingniries, but could not diSeciver • her,
whereabouts, or any clue to her. The
husbandleft Greenville, and Was arrested
on iiuspicion of some foul
. play toward his
wit. lie was lodged in jail, but after a .
time released. Her' relatives received an
•
anonymous. letter, statihi if they would
go to a certain spot iti_the vicinity of In
diaii spring, that her body might be
found. Search was made, but no discov
ery. 11Irs. - Bristol,lit whose house the
parties stopped, had a presentiment that
she was murdered near their. own house,
and on Sunday, when walking in the vi
chip.y of thtNpring, the dog, discoVered
body,'which was in a terrible state of
,decomposition. It appears that he led her
aWay by false statements of employment,
a comfortable. house and other. matters,
which he -invented to ,decoy her down
there. The body was found with the
head closely wrapped in the shawl, and
a ItiTe stone on the neck. No doubt she
was strangled. or suffocated. , From the
evidence-Corwin has been remanded to

the case .of. the • British schiioner.Tropia,,

decided that the vessel and cargo must 'be

the President to blockade the'portli of the
United States is incidental- to to
.. the exist
ence of civil war, and that the Tropic
Wind, in disregarding the blockade, was
therefore subject to seizure and confisca

The, great mission of the Democratic
Party, which has ever stood us the
bulwark of the Union and the Champion
of the Constitution, renders its entire
unity and bold attitude in this' hour of•
National peril smatter of vital concern.
The pending struggle is not "less for the •
maintenance, of a Unites country than for
the Perpetuation of Democratic 'Principles
as expounded by Jefferson and .Jackson.
The most momentous results hang upon
the issue. 'Mere party questions are for the

to vindicate the National honor and re
assert the National arilksrifty ;: but the•
Preservation of Constitutional Liberty '
rests more with:the people than with Con

the present juncture.. . •
It is the purpotie- of the Proprietors

no effort will be spared to render . "THE
UNION" both 'popular and efficient as a
newspaper, and as a fearless exponent of
the great principles 'for which - the'Dem

which-are now so unhappily imperilled.
The Proprietors have perfected such
arrangeirients as will place'the enterprise„
from the beginning, upori a sub - startial
business basis with abundant tneans• to
make.a newspaper second in interest and
ability fo no other in the city • and while
