The com mitiee or arrangemen's, P. P. Smith, R. P. Mc Cartney, W. P. Smith, Ed. Keed, Wm. Foster, John McKee. C. B. Lyon and C. N. Graham, de serve praise for the manner lu which they made their selections as to who should attend. Hap piness was plainly pictured on every face, and we can safely say that everybody who attended the masquerade enjoyed themselves. The floor managers, Meenre. George G'.bfen, Charles Grant, O. R. Prumheller and Will. Malick, had an excellent programme arranpsd for the occatJou. The mnsic, furnished by Piof. Charles White, the violinist, Juo. P.

CtnV.tmt n of the Grand Jury : AvYou have the honor of being summoned to attend here as the first Grand Jury In tbe vear 1S76. tbe Centennial Tear, being the one hundredth year of the National Independence of the American people. A charge to a grand iurv was no doubt, introduced, nua is properly intended to assist them in that dutr to which they ure called by their country, cut as topics of this kind are often abstract or tech nical, digressions, in strictness forelgu to the oc casion are frequently, and not impfofltably In dulged. From thevoar 1791 to the year lyy, Alexander Addison presided in the 5th Circuit or the Mate or Pennsylvania, composea oi me counties or Allegheny, Westmoreland and Washington, and at each session delivered aa interesting charge to the Grand Juries or the Courts in the counties In which he reviewed the whole system of government, the last cf which he sent to General W ashnigton. and received a reply, of which the I'oliowing Is a copy : "Moi st Vehson, 4th March, 1793. Sit: : Tour favour of the Slut January, enclos Ing vour charge to the Giand Juries or the coun ty Courts or the fifth Circuit or the Stale or Pennsylvania, at the last December essions,hflt been duly received, and for the enclosure 1 thank you. I wish, sincerely that your good example, in endeavoring to bring the people or these Uni ted tt lies, more acquainted with the laws and principles ot their government, was followed, hey only require a proper understanding of thee to Judge rightly on all great questions; but unfurtunalely, infinite more pains is taken to biind them, by one description or men, than there is lo open their eyes by the other; which in my opinion, is.the source of most of the evil are labour under. With very great esteem, I am sir, your most obedient servant. GEORGE WASHINGTON. Alexander Addison, Esq." It U not my intention to detain yoa on this oc c i'oi, by r nr lengthy comments, for the princi ples of oiir liovernment are better understood now. thaniiey were at an earlier period of onr National existence, it being then but an experi ment. But now, alter one hundred years havt rolled away, during which it has stood the test, it has become a National saying, that "this is the best government the world ever saw." All cur laws arc in some sense made by the people, and arc intended to have the effect of producing virtue. We aim at liberty and happiness. We believe that virtue consists or uceful actions, proceeding from honest principle. Actions hurtful to our fellow men must be vicious, and actions useless to them, cannot deerve the name of virtue. We do not believe in the actions, law. and customs or many other Nations oTthi earth. It is claimed by some that the situation or men in different ages and countries is essen tially different.and that actions, which abstract ly considered, are very different in their nature, must in different states or society receive the same name. And the action, which in our country, is indulged, because accommodated to the tate of society, thee, in another is prohi bited, because repugnant to the state or society thete. Nothing can be more different than the views, in which ages and countries have consid ered the same fact, nnd actions, not only law ful, but bonorible, in one place or time, are criminal in another. Suicide and idolatry were neither disgraceful nor criminal in Ancient Greece and Rome. In modern Turkey it was unlawful to taste wine, but a man may at the same time, marry several wives, and keep sever al concubines. Such is the degree or popnla- i lion iu t hina, that the law permits parents to expose their infants to perish. To produce virtue, or public utility is the true end of government. There are three kinds of government. Monarchy. Aristocracy and Demo cratic. We believe that the best rorm or gi vernnieiit. or the government itiot favorable to virtue is a Democratic Republic. In a Mon archy, where u single person has the disposal of all power, authority and benefits, the interests of every individual leads him lo accommodate his manners and conduct o the will and inter est of tbe Monarch only ; for from him only can lie have hopes or fears" All experience shows that all tempers and actions will lie wholly sub mitted to his pleasure. Habitual servility and baseness, mutual disirutt and treaeherv, indo lence nnd iguorancc will form the National character, nnd generally, the description or it is simple and short ; owe tyrant and many slaves. A glance at the history or different age and countries shows nt that a good and wise King, or Queen, or Monarch, or any name or descrip tion, has been the exception nnd not the general rule. Read up tlie times or King John, Henry the Sth, Charles the 1st, Charles the 2d, James the Sd, and nearly the whole Hue oT Kings and LJueeus or our mother country, and see whether the people there in times past have been blessed with civil and religious liberty. Queen Victoria may be as she is styled "a good Queen," and governed and guided, at she is, by an able and wise ministry, England to-day Is a proud end prosperous Nation, but what assurance have they tha' the next Monarch may not be a ty rant ? They have not got to go far back in the past. George' the 3d as we and oui forefathers knew was a tyrant. , Courts or Justice exercised the power of his lue .ai . a v cruel will. Lord Lhuncellor jcurji- irieu miu directed to be eTecutcd the same day more than eighty persons, and nearly three hundred were tried aud executed within two weeks. The "bloody assize" was held whilst we were claim ed as a province or that counuy and less than a century before we declared ou: National Inde pendence. Contrast those days with these, when even the humblest cili.'ent is guaranteed a fail and impartial trial by Jury. Think of eighty trials and executions in one ii.iv. Sow we soend davs and weeks aud trea sure w ithout limit to give a fair trial to the humblest man or woman, Iu like manner iu an aristocracy where all power is vested in a few, the interest or each or their subjects is to promote the interest of the rulers from whom only the subjects have any hos or rears. You see here a tew tyrants and many slaves. There is no inducement and eyery danger lo virtue. Iu n democratic republic all power is vested in the whole enple ; the whole people become the source of the uopet, prosperity and happiness or every individual ; and, therefore, the interest of i'ri' irtliviriiin 1 leaii him to Dromote the in- f terest of the whole people. The generul nnd in- dividual interest is thus effectually and insep aratcly combined and united. The w,bole nation, I under this rorm or government, presents a pio j ture and character very different from those al ready stated, iheireeaom oi me cuitiiiuum displays itseir iu the sentiments, the manners aud the conduct or every citizen. There being no iniliridual or Junto to whose power and di rection the demeanor or all must be accommo dated, an unrestrained variety or character is exhibited ; a general, manly independence pre vails ; a consciousness or jicwcr gives a dignity to every citizen, nnd it may be said, as was said cl" the Roman Senator, that the whole nation Is a niitlou or kings. Our cnverninent. haMiilV for US as I said, IS the last and best kind a deniocatic republic ; I, nt like all democracies of any coneiderable ex lent in a rst.rcsentative form, all power is in the people ; but as it is impossible that the people should exercise it fictionally, they exercise it by their deputies. All tbci-e deputies or officers are hut the iciTcsentative or agents ol the people The mouths by which the inople speak ; the hands oy which, the people act ; the people pre scribe and limit their authority ; the peopiC ap point them ; the people, call them to account ; the people reinovn them ; the people wiil ; the p"Hiie do everything. Will this country .ever bo ruled by a monarchy or an aristocracy f I hear you answer no, n,-ver. That the people of this land never Intend that a monarchical or any form of government save that of a democratic republic shall exist here is manifest from the almost unanimous i-xpicssion ol nil parties of Congress, of the press and partv platform, that not even a third term Mial! he held by any man. No difference whether our l.resent t hief Magistrate hns rendered good ser vice to this country or not, the people, it seems, I areuol willing to tolerate any thing likely to riu into one man power. Will this governmeut stand I Ever since you and I can recollect every year, perhaps, we have been accustomed to hear and read Ihe predic tions of politicians or a!l parties, the country would be ruined ir the Whig party was put into power, or it would be ruined If the Democratic party succeeded, and so too. if the Republican nartv succeeded. All this we have heard nnd il will continue to be heard throughout all time to couie. Hut tue country oai ncer oreu hhn yet, and I am sure il nevsr will be. 1 he reason is Miuply this : that all power; win in toc peojilc. We have a democratic republic. If one party or one set of officer do not do right the .eople turn them out. 1 ne people. lor me i uu- lic gooii, vest their otneers wiiu a siuica icuuic in their offices that they may uot be the slaves r power or the sport or caprice and So incapa ble or a proper exercise ol llieir uuiy. i ne ito ple Is the source or all power, aud this in this country they wiil never give up ; and whilst the country may bleed and suiter lor a snori ss.-isoii the people will themselves bring all things right ror the public good. And now. gentlemen or the Jury, you have met here to eu force the laws or the laud. All public laws are but the will or the people. And now, whilst we boast or our good government and our good laws, let it be remembered that every country and every State has in all time been respected ana tue saiety oi me reojuc r cuie us iu proportion as the laws have been respected, obeyed and enforced. Many a nation has fallen, not for the want of good aud whole some law, but because there was no power or will to enforce them. Though the l-eople have entrusted their officers with the exercise of their power, tnev ought still to remember that the government Is theirs ; and that their honor, in terest, happiness and peace depend on the due administration of all its branches. Every lndi-vid-ial ought therefore to consider that though ror his own and for tbe public good he is re strained from opposing the officers or the public in tin; Iccal exercise ot their authority ; yet for his own and ror the public good he is bouud to support and assist them in the lcgul exercise or their authority. Every individual onght to con sitter that It Is" his authority that public officer arc carrying into execution, aud that he is bound iu intcres.'., honor and duty to support and asil.t it. T.very individual is bound to obey Ihe laws, and uot onlv to obey biraseir but to see that others do so" U It be true, thererore, the duty or every individual to support and assist the dne execution or the laws, more especially is it the peculiar duty of those, who like yon, gentlemen or the grand jury, are occasionally called out, In the capacity or public officers, aud bound by oath to the discharge or this public trust. You are the representatives or the whole peo ple or Northumberland county, sitting In Judg ment on the lives, liberties, fame and fortunes of your fellow citizens, and yon onght, in this high capacity, to feel yourselves exbalted shove every liule prejudice or private interest, with no other motive but public justice, no other rule but the laws, and should discharge your duty with that accuracy and care which au office, in which depend the liberty or tbe country, can demand from liieu of cocsckncc In a pubiia station. One. hundred years ago from this day the dec laration of independence had uot yet been signed.

A number of the lawyers of Snnbury left in the several trains on Saturday for the city or Broth erly Love to attend the Supreme Court during the week. They were brushed np ana some looked as though they had reached the botfdm or a new baud box. In fact some looked so improved that none but those who were intimately aequaiutcd knew them. One of the party, we are informed, consumed just three hours In waxing his mous tache, and another two and a half, in coloring his hair lo make, a favorable impression upon the judges on the Supreme bench. As tbe one o'clock train approached ths depot, tiers watagraad fluttering of tha deciples of Blacfcstone, and bag gage was for once tenderly handled by the Boss baggage master who looked In vain for a Tee. Soon nil were rushed on board the parlor cars, as none cared to toil their good clothe in a common traveling car. Hands were extended through the car windows, and "good bye" wa3 heard till around the depot, and not until then was It dis covered that each one was well armed with rl6 and rpadtt. which implements, ir they had been made of iron, would have Ica3 many to believe that they wore going to break ground for anoth er Centennial building, hut as the dcepatchcr with the rich Irish brogue called out'all aboord"' a big htarttd lawyer flourished a diamond at the crowd at much as to say, ''I am a trump," and the cro'vd Is flush, and we'll pluck the first fat goose that crosses ir pmt. None looked sad as the train vanished out of sight, and if they arrived safely at their place of destination, we'll wager a large apple that Philadelphia never looked upon a handsomer, .good hearted, and more honorable net of lawyen than thotc from Sunbury. A Movcmehtto Caft. Joiik Bbadt. An ffT-rt li being made to ersct a suitable monument to tho ineni orj of Cspt. Jcia Brady, in the Muiicy valley, where he gave his life ia defence of our exposed and burnwed ancestors in A'-ril, 1779. Capt. Brady was onf of the erlirt pir.niN of the West Brunch valley, and aa has beenjn in lx historcial sketch ef ths "HiHtory of the Kns- iiHrlisnna. now published in the American, was one of the moeAxaUunt defenders of the early settler in tiiis vicinity, commemoration of his heroic deeds and patriotism:, sa nii-l in made for funds and contribu tions towanld erecting a monument where he spent tho last years of his lift, and where occurred the tragic eeeDe of hiu death, anv' where his ashes now rcjHise un noticed and almost unknown. His memory is warmly chcriohed by the decendant of the earlier pioneers of the StiHquehsima.. Large amounts have already been cniitrihiiled by the citizens along the SiiHOiiehaniu val ley. Fort Augusts, now withia the limits of our borough, was tie Captain's headquarters, s he.'e he sent for safety many f the women and children which were rescued by bim from the scalping knife of the Indians. A contri bution should be made by the citizens of this town and vicinity tiw.irdn nch c worthy object. We belieTe that there are tui:2red. n this place and other partn of the county whcv-Hi Cheerfully particijato in nucha project and make liberal coutributioEs. The money is to be raised by oe dollar subscriptions which amount can readily tie raised by avery o:ie who ha an interest iu Caption llrauv, wuc at his own expense erected a forti fication for th protection cf our IrHt SHtlers. Kery patriotic citizens ia appealed to for the small ecutribu!ion of one dollar for tha erecting of s monument to tlie memory of one who iniinced his li.V nearly one hun dred years ago in protecting our ancestors.

Many j-crsons got the idea that Marx & Bro. were going to leave Snn bury, as it was noticed that many of their goods were being packed and sent away. Not knowing of their movements, many expressed regret to loss such an enterprising firm. We visited their nore on Wednesday to ascertain what their in tention was, and found a number of clerks buy packing goods, but soon learned that they wen mt going to leave Sunbury , but that they bad established another store In Perry county where they are rtmoving their old stock to make room ror an entire new stock in their store at thi plane. The ladies particularly wiil bo glad to learn that they propose to procure a larger stock or ladies furnishing goods than they had before, and that it will oe entirely new. Moses, one of the firm, wiU start for the city on Saturday to purchase the new stock, which will be opened next week,-nd we may expect something more handsome thau has yet been seen lit Suubury, as he generally buys enough good a time to till several store rooms.
