Fouterit or Jo LT.—Many of our democratic friends
have teen inquiring if we would have any party imps- ' t
bettima on the approaching 4th of July. We have
sßlltbsatnl that any arrangements have been made for
that purpose, and as the time is now too short to era•
blot a committee to make proper arrangements for such
a festival, we do not suppose that any will take place.
For our part, we agree with those who believe tltat
the 4rh of July should be celebrated in a manner that
will notes!l forth the bitter partizan feelings that
party festivals are always certain to engender. It is
our great National holyday; a day for feasting and
tbanksgiaing, and citizens of every shade of political
opinion,—dennocrats, whigs and natives, should juin
in commemorating the declaration of our national in.
dependence, without having their minds disturbed by
bitterfeelings of party strife.
In many parts of the country party celebrations on
tbe4tb of 3itly are unknown, and, indeed, would not
beiloierated.. It is anoec.asion on which political dif
ferences are forgotten, and all join as a hand of bruth
ors in doing twaior to the memory of the sages and
heroes whose exalted patriotism and indomitable
bravery. won the inestimable privileges of which we
are now the inheritors.
We observe, by notices in the Nev. York. papers,
that the authorities of that city, have made suitable
arranements for celebrating the day in a patriotic
manner, and have appropriated a sufficient rum In pay
for Fire Works and other expenses that it may be
necessary to incur. This is as it should be, and it
would be much to the honor of our country if all the
ether cities and towns of the Union would celebrate
the day in a similar manner.
'The greasy brute of the American is astonish
ed that we did nut reply to his vulgar attacks of Wed
nesday. Of course we have no reply to make to any
such attacks from that quarter. We have never been
backward to meet and repel the assaults of all oppo
nents who have any regard for the rules of courtesy,
which ate senerally observed by editors, but we ft eely
confess that we have not the slightest disposition to
eneounter a skunk, even when we are certain of van
quishing it. We don't know which would be most dis
guising, a fight w ith that odoriferous animal, or a con
troversy with the American; and as we bath the one
at much as the other, we hope that for the future, greasy
Will not beastonisbed when we decline replying to his
blackguardism. There may be tines w heii we cannot
avoid speaking of his brutal ruffianism, or his total dis
regard of truth, but we do not desire that he should
flatter himself with the idea that by doing so we wish
to get into a controversy with him.
Tar. OHIO STATESYAII.—COI. SAMUEL MEDART,
the faithful and fearless soldier of Democracy, has die

the "Concord Freeman." Ile takes possession of the
offioe on the Ist of July. In announcing the sale of
his paper. Col. M. says that be has been seventeen
years a democratic editor in Ohio. That his services
in the democratic cause have been untiring and invalu
uble, we suppose his greatest enemies will nut deny.
'Whether victory was in prospect, or certain defeat
stared him in the face, his efforts were alike vigorous
and determined. We copy a single paragraph from
the annunciation of his retirement:
"I will reserve, for another occasion, an expression
of my gratitude to the noble democracy of Ohio. My
prayer is for their future triumphs. Words, however.
use inadequate, at any time, to express my teelings

The Uunion, of June 16, hag the following in re
gard to the appointment of Mr McLax,:
WO congratulate the country on the appointment of
Louis McLane as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary to London. He has been invited to
the public service without the slightest solicitation on
his part. Ile has been fur several years in retirement,
if the successful management of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad comr.any, as president of that institu
tion, can be considered as a retirement. First, as a
member of the House of Representatives, then, as
minister to England, Secretary of the -Treasury, and
Secretary of State, and ns a minister to London, he
has earned a name as n statesman and a patriot, of
which his country may be justly proud. Ho seems
eminently calculated to meet the present crisis between
the two countries. This able and experienced gentle
man accepts the office of minister at the most distin
guished court in the world, at one of the most event
ful crises which could occur in the telution between
the two countries, and when the most important inte
rests of his own nation are involved in the issue. He
carries with him to the court of St. James great tal
ents, extended experience, particularly at that court,
where he formerly represented die interests of the
United States with great distinction. Prudent, firm,
and sagacious, he will assert and maintain the rights
of his cwn country, without violating the respect which
is doe to the British government. He is orthodox on
the great questions which now divide the country; and
in none more so than on the important questions of
Texas and Oregon.
We understand that Mr McLane will probably
leave the United States as early as by the steamer of
the 15th July.

generals and statesmen. Mr. Healy, is commissioned
by the king to paint the portraits of some twelve of
the most distinguished revolutionary patriots, to sur
round those of Washington and Jackson—the greatest
and best men our country ever produced; also some of
the most prominent living politicians of the day.
Messrs. John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay were
named by Mr. Healy to me. Mr. Healy was enabled
to make much progress in his work teeday, and, as
usual, the General received many visitors, more than
thirty. All were admitted, from the humblest to the
most renowned, to take the venerable chieftain by the
hand and bid him farewell. Among the visitors was
General Jesup, an old friend and companion in arms.
The meeting of these most faithful and gallant soldiers
and servants of the republic was deeply interesting
and affecting. A reverend gentleman called to inquire'
in regard to the General's health. his faith, and future
hope. The General said: "Sir, lam in the hands ef ,
a merciful God. I have full confidence in his goodness
and mercy. My lamp of life is nearly out, and the l
last glimmer has come. lam ready to depatt, when,
called. The Bible is true. The principles and stat
utes of that holy book have been the rule of my life,
and I have tried to conform to its spirit as near as pos
sible. Upon that sacred volume I rest my hope for
eternal salvation, through the merits and blood of our
blessed Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ." Nothing
further was said upon the subject.
Friday, May 30—Tbe General passed a had n i g h t;
no sleep—extremely feeble this morning. Mr Healy,
with considet able exertions on the part of the General,
was enabled to finish the portrait on which he labored
with great care. It was presented to the General.
After examining it for some minutes, he remarked to
Mr Healy. "I am satisfied, sir, that you stand at the
head of your profession; if I may be allowed to judge
of my own likeness, I can safely concur in the opinion
of my family; this is the best that has been taken. I
feel very much obliged to you, sir. fur the very great
labor and care you have been pleased to bestow upon
it." The family were all highly gratified with its faith
felness. I consider it the most perfect representation
I have ever seen, giving rather the remains of the he
roic personage, than the full life that made him the
most extraordinary combination of spirit and energy,
with a slender frame, the world ever saw.
At 9 o'clock, as lathe custom, all the General's fam
ily—except the few who take their turn to watch by
his side—took their leave of him. Each of the family
approached him, received his blessing, bid him fare
well, kissed him as it would seem an eternal good
night—for he would say my work is stone for life. Af
ter his family retires it is touching To witness this hero
ic man, who has faced every danger with unyielding
front, offer up his prayers fir those whom Providence
has committed to his cure; that Heaven would protect
and prosper them when he is no more—praying still
more fervently to God for the preservation of his coun
try. of the Union, and the people of the United States
from all foreign influence and invnsion—tendering his
forgiveness to his enemies, and his gratitude to God
for his support and success through a long life, andl
for the hope of an eternal salvation through the merits
of our blessed Redeemer.
The General exerts himself to discharge every duty,'
and with all his anxious care that is possible; but his
debility, and the unremitting anguish he stiffen, hiss al
-1 most extinguished every power except that of his in
tellect. Occasionally hisdiatress produces spasmodic
affections; yet in the midst of the worst pnroxysms of
pain, not even a groan escapes leis lips. Great and
just in life, calm and resigned in death.
Saturday, May 31. —The General passed a distres-'
sed night; nosleep—extreme debility this morning, at-
I tended with increased swelling of the abdomen, and
all his limbs, and difficulty of breathing . He said, "I
hope God willl grant me patience to submit to his holy
will; He does all things well, and blessed be His holy'
and merciful name." His Bible is always near him;
if he is in his chair, it is on the table by his side;
when propped up in bed, that sacred volume is laid by
him, and lie often reads it. He has no power, and is'
lifted in and out of his sitting posture in bed to the
same posture in his chair. Nothing can exceed the
affectionate care, vigilance, and never-ceasing efforts
of his pious and devoted family to administer to his
relief; and yet, in the midst of the affliction which calls
for so much attention and symputhy, kindness and hos
pitality to strangers is not omitted.
June I.—" This day," the General said, "is the
holy Sabbath, ordained by Gud, and set apart to be de•
voted to his worship and praise. I always attended
service at church when I could; but now I can go no
mere." He desired the family to go, as many as
could, and charged them to continue the education of
the poor at the Sunday school. This new system of
instruction, he said, which blended the duties of reli•
giun with those of humanity, he considered of vast
importance; and spoke with an emphasis which show
ed his anxiety to impress it on the family. Mrs. Jack
son, and her sister Mrs. Adams, regularly attended to
their instruction on the Sabbath. A part of the
family went to church. The General looked out of
the window, and said, "this is apparently the last Sab
bath I shall be with you; God's will be done; He is
kind and merciful." The General's look is often fix
ed with peculiar affection on his grand daughter,
Rachel, named after his wife, so beloved, and whose
memory he has so tenderly cherished. The young
Rachel has all the lovely and amiable qualities for
which the elder,
.Mrs. Jackson, was so remarkable.
Monday, June 2 —The General passed a bad night.
No sleep. An evident increase of water on the chest.
He read many letters, at. usual. Some of them were
from persons of whom he had no knowledge. asking
for autographs, and making tither requests. The let

He looked over them; those of importance were open- Molasses—Sales of 24 lbs in good order at 34c.;
