This sacred day, which will be dear to every A merican citizen, so long as the glorious cause of Liberty 'and the rights 'of man, triumph over ty ranny. and oppression, was celebrated in this Bor. ough in a proper spirit, on Thursday last. The different Military Companies paraded at an early hocir, and presented quite a Martial appearance. That old and beautiful company, the NI.TIONAL .Lienr INF.vsTny, which has recently been re-or ganized by the election 'of EIIWAIID E. ,BLAisri, as Captain, and D. J. Ridgway as first, James H.

'They marched to Tumbling Ruh, for Target Firing, the result of which we have not heard. -Maj. Brawn makes an excellent commanding officer, and the officers and men look ed well. The WASIIINGTON kIITILLERISTS, command ed by Capt.

The' Welch Temperance Society elsO paraded' the Streets; with 'their beautiful Banner, whose motto bespoke the character of those engaged in the glorious; and benevolent cause, of Tem'perance , aiithe Oak." Where were the other Tern peranCe processions Echo answers where. . The Sunday School Children and Teachers be longing to the Methodist Church, also paraded the Strects,, and' celebrated the day in a rational and becoming manner. The' most imposing celebration of the Day was by.the Sunday School. connected with the Presby terian Church, the proceedings of which we are • sorry our limits will not permit us to notice in full. The basement of the church was Beautiful ly - decorated with Evergreens and Flowers, and three immense tables were loaded with all the del icacies that could be obtained, displayed in the most gorgeous manner, with the American Flag arrayed at their head. The ' Church also;wita ap propriately decorated. Immediately over pul pit floated the Star Spangled Banner, which , "Waves o'er the land of the free • ' And the borne of the brave—" On one side was the Dectararion of Independence,. and on the other an appropriate Banner, "Feed my Lambs." The Declaration' of Independence was read by Master Nicholas Wynkoop, and a ve ry able and appropriate address delivered byE. 0. Pai-ry, Esq., whose subject was 4. Civil Liber ty,—its influence on our Institutions." He traced the influence-of the Bible On-Civil Liberty, horn-Its first translation in the 14th century; by Wickliie, up to the present time, and drew a powerful con trast:between Bible countries and thnie in which it is prohibited froin the masses. All who heard the address speak of it as one of the most power ful productions they ever heard. The number' who joined in the celebration,childreil and their f)a. rents, "&c., was upwards of six hundred, and.du: ring the services a:number of National odes were. sung by the company, and Mr. Dyer, the Blind, Music -Master,. whose performance contiibuied greatly to . gratify and please this large a=sembly. lage number of the friends of Clay, Freling huysen 'and Markle, partook' of a sumptuous din ner serVed up by Mr. Daniel Hill, of tliePOttsville House; who knows how to tickle the appetites of Epicures. The Company was large and. enthusi astic, the particulars of which we will give in our next. • In" John Tyler, acting President of the United Statss,bas taken to himself a wife; Miss Gardiner,. daughter of Mr. Gardiner, late of 'New York, who was killed on board the Princetmi.,She is twenty siz a great belle and anheiress, posses sed of unusual attractions, both Of inind and body.

' NATI:MALI ZATIO Er lairs.—ratorts are making by Jesiguing persons to create the impression that an extension of the Na.turalization laws, requiring 21 years' residence, woild'affect the rights of those citizens already naturalized. Such is not the fact. A man, as soon as he is , haturalized, is entitled to all the rights of an American citizen, and no law, can be passed depriving him of those rights. As an Alien he is also entitled to all the rights of an American citizen, except the privilege of voting' and a limitation to thelielding of not more than 5,000 acres of land, eno O gh in all conscience for any' one' men to own. T Naturalization laws expressly declare, lat. That Aliens may reside in our territory. . . 2d. That they may transact any commercial business' in our cities or elsewhere, on equal terms with natural born citizen's. 3d. They may rent houses for theii residences, and stores for their merchandise. 9th. They are entitled' to the same protection of life, liberty and property,; by the laws of our coun try, as natives. sth. They shall enjoy a perfect right of eon sci nice. These are all privileges of Aliens, and a mere extension of the term of residence from five to twenty-01e years in the country, would not de bar any emigrants now in the country, and those who may arrive hereaftei, from any of the above mentioned rights—the same protection would be continued to be extended to them—and those who , :are already naturalized,:nothing but the convic tion of certain crimes, can ever prevent them from the exercise of all the tights and priveleges of na tive born citizens, with !the exception of holding the offices of President and Vice President of the United States. No naturalized citizen •is _eligible to these offices. NO;;woubl the contemplated change interfere with the rights of coriscience—it is a mere political change—conscience has nothing to do with it, in a religious point of view—Jew or Gentilecan erect churches. and worship their Cre. ator according to the dicthtes of his own conscience. pilovided he keeps within the pale of good morals and decency. Our Object in penning this article is to disabuse the public mind - with regard to false reports, which are now • industriously circulated. by some design ing persons to .accomplish political objects.

As he' scrambled out, the laughing of Course,. was more furious - than ever, and the wet individ 'ual sung out, " 0. I've coinelo anchor, but you can't say I'm aground." The WaConda Prairie in tile Missouri is entire ly covered with water froth bluff to bluff,' a dis tance of 14 miles. At Wyandotte city, not a house has been leftstandingH- at Liberty Landing the ware-houses were all under water—Dewitt, Brunswig and Franklin were completely ihunda tett—the town. of Nashville Was also completely inundated, and every person had left the town, All the crops on that bottom will be destroyed.

The N. Y. Coil.: rier of Saturday last, contains an able article upon the subject, in which; some of these xpressions are alluded to with suitable comments. A e co pyl a portion of the article, as conden ed by the Newark Advertiser: and invite to it, th i e.attention of every truly patriotid mind. That the nomination of Mr. Polk was effecte'd by the influence of the Texas questionn, is; we be l e lieve.iconceded on off hands. Mr. Van Buren's lettPr On the subject, it is confessed, lo't him, the nomination, and the protracted strife at the Balti morel, Convention, was finally settled b promises from South Carolina and other southern districts, that the nomination of Mr. Polk and the adoption of the Texas project Would secure the whole or the greater part of the South and South West. The sinister suggestion prevailed, and the party, in the distraction of the hoUr, was formilly committed to the nefarious p10t..1 The delegates from- South Carolina, who had therefore stood aloof' spectators of the strife between Messrs. Van Duren and watching for the moment in whi h to make this overture, were fo4hwith taken int full com munion, and were first and foremost in raising the cry for "Polk and Texas!" which" 7' s at once taken up and sounded through all their organs at the South. • These are undeniable facts, known t the whole country. And since the adjourinnent Jr Congress the recognized organ of this section of the_.Polk and Texas party at Washington . City (The' Spec tator) has had the indiscretion to boast of its tri umph.

No longer ago than the last Saturday of the session, Mr. Benton charged upon 'dr.

That the President of th.i United.

The Globe adds i conclusion : "After that print had expr ssly declared the purpose of urging' a dissolution f the Union, be queathed to us by the authors o our independence with a view to annexation wit Texas (if not o therwise to be obtained,) we felt that nothing , more was necessary, than i the promulgation of 1 that fact; to destroy the Fern' ions influence' of 1 such a journal.

AND ' ' • QUALIEICATIONS. . . , It affords us much pleasure o learn from recent unmistakeable demonstrations. that the prospects of the Whig Candidate for GoVernor, are of the most cheering cnaractCr in every part of the StMe, and that his election by . a handsome majority is no longer a matter of deiuht. We. say this .in no spirit of bravado,! hut !in perfsct confluence 'and from an honest conviction that the predic.ion will be fully verified: ' We' are flit y aware, that the friends.of Mr. Muhlcnberg are making every exer; lion to ensure his success. . We know, too, that the principal efforts of the Lecofocos'are directed to the Gubernatorial contest. They know that td elect Polk is out of the question—that to give Iffin the electoral vote of Pennsylvania even; is an im possibility--and they presume, from the fact of their having at every previous Gubernatorial con test succeeded when United, that they can by a' vigorous effort do so nuain. So far-as Mr. Muli lenberg is concerned, therefore, they still hope-- and that hope as we before intimsted, is a sufficient inducement for them to strain every !nerve to main tain the ascendency in the Suite, if they cannot in the Nation. • I . ' But despite all their, efforts' they will fail—their '&leat is destined, to prove a llVaterloo affair. Mr. Muhtenberg valiantly- as he fought for the ?Loral -notion—successfully its he las managed to pro cure it. can never each h 5 Executive Chair. The time when a' Locofoco n ruination was equiv alent to an election, has gone by, The people have some queer notions off their wn 'about measures as well as about men, that w 11 materially conflict with the prospects of the Locofoco party, and the ambitious notions of its candidate. 111 - uhlenberg will be supported alone by the ultra Locrifoco4.- that class of politiciani who twould vote for any man however unqualified, aid sustaiOny princi ples-however ruinous to the Interests of the coun try, provided the man Was their part f y candidate, and the principles Were held by the party to which they had sworn allegiance.

Our Lq - coloco friends, in the plentitude of f their zeal for the'eause-Of democracy overdone the matter, and as might have been expected, the story soon recoiled upon then4elves. The people began to enquire amen" ' ther*lves why Gen. Markle was thus assailed. Upon what grounds did indi viduals, who knew nothing whatever of the Whig nominee, presume to circulate such reports . ? The answer was plain. GeniMarkle was &farmer, and according to Locofoco Logic, it was because he teas a farmer that he - was .pronouneed unfit. Had Gen. M. been a recreant Prirson, or'-a miserable pettifogger, or a Gentlen4n 'of Leisure, or an-Ex- Minister, or an Ex-Member of Congress. no one would have presimied to ciuestion his ability. But a Farmer was ignite another sort of personage; in the eyes of these " democratic " locofocoa. The public saw through it at d, glance, and numbers of them have already resented it. The Locos would now gladly repent in sackl cloth and ashes fur the foolish deception they attempted to practice upon the people, if the evil could be averted. General MARKLE in a Farmer. His friends-do not deny it. They are priaud of it. It may even , be that his hand writing is cramped and 'stiff and . not so good as it might be. If the Locofoces can make out their case that: he is therefore unfit to ! be. elected Governor, they arewelcome to'do it. But every man' of common till4ervationxnust know to. the contrary. We verily believe that every one of our readers can pick out er point out among the circle of his agricultural acquaintance—in a single • county—it may be in .a single towiishiP--a dozen or more of farmers like Gdn.
