The 88th anniversary of American Indepen dence, which occurred on Monday last, was observed in Honolulu with more than usual de monstration, famous as our city is for its cele bration of the 4th. As we stated in a former number, the arrangements for celebrating the day had been placed in the hands of a committee of eeven, chosen at a meeting of Americans held on the 22d of June for that object. This commit tee consisted of Messrs. Wni. A. Aldrich, D. C. "Waterman, C. S. Bartow, Capt. Wilcox, D. Foster, J. B. Atherton and' C. E. Williams, to whom was entrusted full power to carry out such arrangements as they tnijjht judge best. How admirably they were qualified for the task. and how well it was executed, the sequel will ehow. The committee added to their number, others, to asfist in the details, consisting of Messrs. Cartwright, Babcock, II. A. P. Carter, and A. F. Judd. Long before the break of day, with fire-crackers, pistols and guns, young Hawaii was stirred '.up and seemed to vie with young America in making such an incessant noise as to forbid sleep to the older part of the community. At sunrise the American flag received a salute of 13 guns, , fired by a detachment of Hawaiian artillery, from a battery at the head of Emma street, and at noon 35 guns, ending with another salute of 13 guns at sunset. The place selected for the day's festivities, was the Hooper or American Club premises in Hotel street, now occupied by I. apt. Babcock, who kindly threw them open to the public for the occasion. The central location of this place, its ample yard, and the shady trees with wt.ich it is embowered, gave it great superiority over any out-of-town locality that could be selected, and everybody was pleased with the selection made. Two tents were erected for the occasion, one for the oration and accompanying exercises, and the other for the dinner. These tent, as also the entire premises were lavishly decorated with flags, evergreens, pictures and mottoes, making such a display as has probably never been seen on any similar occasion at the islands. About 10 o'clock the guests began to arrive, and at 11 assembled in the audience tent, teats having been provided for all. His Excellency the American Minister, Dr. J. McBride. presided, and prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Damon. II. A. P. Car ter, lv-q., then read the Declaration of Indepen dence, and was followed by Hon. James VT. Austin, who delivered the following oration : "liful ibUndT faryrnTlDuT,naiveTfindi thF memories of this auspicious f'ay cluster around ua. How dear to us all is this birth-day of our country's freedom. Oar country, the dear mother of us all, in her prosperity we rejoice in the loving-ban Js that she throws around us, but in her adveroity, we cling to her with more than filial affection. Time nor distance can take away the love the patriot has for bis country. It clinee to him in all the varied rela tions of life, und although to the true man, the whole world is his country, still his native land has a myriad of welcomes and kindly voices that other lands can never utter. And now, while the memories of this day are cheering the hearts of our countrymen in other parts of the world, while its hallowed associations wake the enthusiasm of the hour, we would welcome you to the participation of this glorious occasion. We welcome you to join with us in congratulations for the past progress and prosperity of our country, and we welcome you to joiu with us in cherichioc frebh hopes and aspirations for the future; for I declare to you, and it requires not the skill of a rmrht to declare it, that the Union of our country shall triumph, until it snau under its feet. The Union of the States, one country and one destiny, that shall be our theme, and it is the theme that on this day is stirring the hear! of every loyal citizen from Maine f Oregon. The East is answer ing to the West, the J"- -th to the South, that in the vocabulary of the naticD. tVre is no such word as Secession. The battle-fields of the Revolution, York town and Saratoga, the battle-fields for a new free dom and independence, Shiloh, Vicksburg and Gettysburg, in trumpet tones are calling upon us to stand by the Union of our fathers. The blood that has flowed on every battle-field of the Republic, has flowed in vain, if slavery and secession are to hold dominion in our land. There is too much at 6take; if not for ourselves, ior the coming generations the battles for freedom and country must be fought. Ob, the glory that waits upon the true soldier of freedom, who feels that ia behalf of his country, the battle is fought for the down-trodden and oppressed. And I rejoice that from these islands there have gone some natives of the soil to swell the numbers of those whose determination it is that the Union shall be preserved inviolate. Many of us have heard of a brave Soldier, a 'native cf this soil, who has written home to us words that have sent a thrill of enthusiasm for one whose steps in the path of duty keep time to the music of the Union." Here are the words of our friend : 44 But who will come back, of all these whose heitrts now throb with life, whose eyes are lit with the hpe within them ! Never mind, our time may indeed be a little shorter for this war, but at the longest, how brief it is ! and so I don't bother myself much about possibilities, but strive rather to obey the calls of the present, and trun in God. If I fall, he assured that I never was better prepared than now for the worst. Since entering this branch of the service, I have felt the high duty and sacredness of my position. It U no sacrifice for me to be here, it is rather a glorious opportunity, and I should be no where else than here, if I couM. This constant, this almost supreme satisfaction, has shed a rich pi w upon my life. I fee! that I am among the apostles of human Iil-rty, striking the deadliest possible blow at oppression, and what duty more glori ous than that ? What nobler work has been given to man since the Reformation ?" I do not come here in a boastful spirit to uphold the peculiar form of government under which many of us were born. The peculiar condition and state of a country require peculiar forms and modes of govern ment. To insure the success of a Republican form of government there must be a general intelligence diffused among the people, and the masses must be educated in order to enj-jy its benefits. I suppose we all would deplore the existence of a Republican form of government for the islands. They are not fit ted for it, and while the spirit of the Kamebamehas is abroad among as, while we live under this free anl beneficent government that throws its protecting arms around us, we all feel that the present form of government is the beat suited to our condition. Our Hawaiian Constitutional form of government is the best that can be devised for us, and here we all breathe the breath rf freedom, and do not feel like strangers in a strange land. And I say, honor to Kamehameha III. and his Counsellors, who gave the present Constitution to the people. Cut I do maintain that a Republic in form of government is best fitted for the people of the United States. Under that form of government bow pros perous the nation has become ! The sails of her commerce have penetrated every ocean, and the remote portions of the earth bear witness to the enterprise of her citizens. She has become the asylum of the oppressed from every land and her arns have been stretched forth to welcome the Jew an 1 the Gentile of every nation. Daring the terri ble contest that is now raging in our land, if there had been any other form cf government th:m Repub lican. I believe our government would have presented to the world at this time the most melancholy form of a despotic government. No Republican insti tutions have not been a failure. They have eurvived and they shall survive the shock of secession and elavery : and although the garments of our coun try have been dragged in the dust by her rebellious sons, she will jet stand forth arraved in the gar ments of Ireedom and liberty. The body of the slave shall become the soul of the man. And whatever may have been heretofore our indi vidual opinions concerning the institution of slavery, as it has existed in the United States, 1 say that we can now have no doubt that that, and that alone, has served as the cause of revolt on the part of the traitors of the South. Let every Free State answer, that it clings to the American Union. Let Western Virginia, Est Tennessee answer ; and everywhere throughout the land, where the ecourge of slavery has not existed, there you will find a loyal popula tion. And when pence again shall bold its sway over our country, tbe chain of every slave ehall be loosened, and stronger bands than ever will unite the people of every section of the Republic. And here although the eye shall fire, ai.d the blood shall mount the cheek, when we hear many cf other nations in their prejudice and ignorance tike the side of the enemies of our countrj' in their attempts to subvert one of the best structures of government that has ever been erected, we can a2orij to ba just and generous, until the history of therebelliou shall have beeu written, and we oan read :s page of wrong and infamy, and the triumph of the right and true. Even now we can see thajt truth is triumphing over error and prejudice, oiid that the preat land of Shakspeare, and Milton, an'l Hampden, is showing some sympathy for the cause ci" Right and Freedom. That laud whose past is so ric;i with me morials of triumphs and of fame, whoe) past is so brilliant with victories over wrong and oppression, whese constitutional freedom has in the joast been a bulwark nnd a beacon to the oppressed uationalities of Europe, thit land, 1 say, can uever bj the ally of slavery and eecession. 1 In reference to our country, I have sjiken of our hoK8 and aspirations fur the future. n crushing the great rebellion constant progress hatvj been made from its inception. The Union army as wrested from tbe traitors of the South more tharj two-thirds of the territory, that they claimed thret years ago. And even now their Capital awaits the cubing of the Deliverer, who ehall free her and her bes'vtiful State from the bonds of Secession, and placCtheui once more beneath the folds of the fl ig of Freedom. Yt-s, their Capital that has rung with the '-ries of her Btarved prisoners of the North, is even now being wrested from them. The Army of the Union is knocking at her gates, and as surely as Right shall triumph over Wrong, so sure will the Army of the Uniou enter therein. Liberty and Law shall dwell in that Capital, and free speech, free labor, and free men shall dispense the blessings of a new and refined civilization. I cannot depreciate the courage of the traitors of the South, who are fighting in a dishonored and un holy cause : but time would fail me, to s peak of the valor, the patriotism nnd the heroism of the Army of the Uuion. They are fighting for national life, for everything that a generous people holds dear, and for their own freedom and Liberty; for had the South triumphed in her unholy cause, the North heteafter would have been dragged at her chariot wheels. Aud we may not wonder at the enthusiasm ni.d the great uprising of our people, when State after State seceded and threw off the jfentle yoke of the Uuion, that had proved so great a blessing to the Race. u With a voice that shook the land the gun9 of r'timter spoke : Wane, sons of heroes, wake! The age of neroes dawns again; Truth takes in hand her ancient sword, and calls her loyal men I'race cannot cure the sickly time. All hail tbe healer, War ! And whereso'er the summons came, there rose an angry din, As when upon a rocky coast a normy tide comt-s in. Southward the hosts arehurrying. with tanners wide unfurled, From where the 6tateiy Hudson float the wealth of half t!ie world ; From where amid his clustered Isles Lake Huron's waters Kleum ; From wlu-re the Mississippi pours an unpolluted stream; From where Kentucky's fields of corn bend in the Southern .iir; From broad Ohio's luscious vines; from Jersey's ore l.-ir.l 9 fair; From where between his fertile ulopes Nebraska' rivers run; From Pennsylvania's iron hill-; from woody Or.'iron; And Massarhusetts led the va , as in the days of yore, And gave her reddest blood to cleanse the stones of Baltimore." gafiP,4nJeAlJiilJ)?lLTjctP.rle Science and Art, Commerce and Manufactures, Civil ization and Refinement, follow in heri path. But war, notwithstanding the horror and desolation that follow in its footsteps, has some bright sides to its character. History, recording the experience of na tion?, shows that out of war many a nation has emerged from the daikoess of slavery and despotism, to the light of Liberty and Freedom. ; From Ther mopylsa and Marathon, from many a battle-field of Europe, the principles of Right aud Freedom have been perpetuated. And so the war, that gives the nineteenth century such a pre-eminecce, that sad dens our households, that brings the tears of sorrow to our homes, that darkens for a time the life of the nation, shall, in the Providence of God, bring order out of coufusion and the blessings of Liberty for all. War is not the worst evil that can befall a nation. Submission to the oligarchy of the S :uth in their injust and unparalleled demands, is a worse sacrifice than war. And on the page of historj'; you will not find a nobler struggle than ours, for the supremacy of tbe laws, for tbe life of the uation, and for the rights and freedom of mankind. , In th . hitr.rv of jiatiJ!5j csneciallv isMsWBM modern XTirtfWrp XVOTlCE. oft,vetn;' cberaEBY CIVKft THAT HER Dok.loV ftW oftbe V08 VICTORIA K A.

The exercises were inter spersed with 6everal national airs, among which were " Hail Columbia," " Star Spangled Ban ner" and " When this cruel War is Over," sung by a choir of ladies and gentlemen. At the close of the oration, Master Charley Cooke, in behalf of 44 Young America," stepped on to the platform and spoke the following ad dress, which was exceedingly 'appropriate, well timed and well-received : Mr Yocsg Fbiends: Old America has had its say, and now it is Young America's turn to speik. Although born in Hawaii net, we have a right to count ourselves as LeloDging to You us? America, and to claim our share in tbe ' Glorious Fourth." For there is an old law of Congress by which the children of American parents are American citizens, no mat ter where they may have been born. And this holi day, the Fourth, you know, was made for us boys. It is for our special benefit, I suppose, that the De claration of Independence is read every year, and the old stories are told of George Washington, the boj that could not lie, and of tbe dreadful winter quar ters of Valley Forge. I don't kno whether boyt did rnuoh in the first war for freedom, bat who can say that Young America 19 not doing something in this second and greater one. Who has not read of the little drummer boy, who was with the,lor!um hope," in the first boat that crossed the Rappahan nock under a had storm of shot, just before the terri ble battle of Fredericksburg? Or of that. other boy at Murfreesboro, who killed the rebel Colonel that tried to make hioj prisoner, and was made aSergennt for bis bravery ? And but tbe other dy we read cf another boy in Grant's army, who was found after the late terrible battle in tbe wilderness, desperately wounded, iu the Iront where the dead lay thickest, picking the violets arouDd him as he lay? Yes, Young America as "reair to die for th red white and blue" as old America ever was. Boy?, would we net like to celebrate the Fourth in company with Unconditional Surrender Grant about Richmond, throwing crackers and torpedoes a foot in diameter out of Purrott rifles into that wicked city ? No doubt our firewotks are going to be splendid to-night, but not as splendid as the n reworks Grant and Gilmore are treating the rebels to, free-gratis for-nothing. There's no waste of pow ier there for mere flash and noise, but it is all used in a way to do some good. Some tf cur friends and schoolmates are doing good service under Sherman in Georgia, and at Foit Royal. Ote at least is in the fleet elf Mobile. Others have honorably left the service to enlist in another kind of war against falsehood and wrong, of every kind. And now I will offer as a toast, "The Hawaiian boys iu the Union Army, may thev be shielded from rebel bullets nnd bayonets, and mty they have their share of the g';ory of the fin 1 victory of Freedom." About 12 o'clock, the children, of whom there must have been between two and three hundred present, were collected around tables, set expressly for them, and furnished with an abundance of meats, fruits, cakes and lemonade. Special provision had been made for their enter tainment and also for their amusement, by the committee, and most admirably was it carried out. The misses were mostly dressed in white, and decked out with bright ribbons of red, white and blue," whila the boys wore email Union flags, rosettes or ecarla of the same. The ju veniles present were beautifully and gaily dressed for the occasion, and we doubt whether any sim ilar gathering on that day in any part of the world presented a more attractive spectacle than did this. At 1 o'clock the dinner was announced as ready. Three rows of tables were spread, run ning the whole length of the large tent, with another across the betid, and seats were furnished for about three hundred and fifty guests. Every seat was occupied, and a large number had to wait fur the second table. His Excel lency the American Minister Resident pre sided, and at his right sat Capt. Geerken, of the 'Russian steamer Calavala, Rev. S. C. Damon, Rev. Asa Thurston, who with his wife and Mrs. M. P. Whitney are the only remaining represen tative", at the islands, of the first band of mis sionaries who landed here in 1820. At his left sat Mr. Castle, Dr. Judd and others. The tent was elegantly decorated with numerous Hawaii an and American flags. Over the Chairman's scat hung a framed picture of Washington, and of the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln. At the opposite end of the hall, the dates 1770 and 1864 hung in evergreen, with a framed battle erene between them. The tables were under the direction of Mons. Victor, and those who know his skill in the culinary art, need no description of them. The Fup ply was oves--abundant, and great taste was shown not only in the preparation, but in the conducting of . the entertainment. All the guests appeared pleased and satisfied a difficult thing with to great a crowd as was present on this occasion. About 2 o'clock, the reading of the toasts WUS Commenced by .Mr. A. J . Cart- wright, which we insert, but are compelled to omit the responses, owing to their length : 1. THIS I'KEalDEST OP TUB lTSITKD STATES.

Responded to by L. McCully. 5. Oca Abmt and Navy. The defenders of the Union, our hearts are with them wh-n tla-y stand as a bulwark to resist the angry surges of foreign or domes. ic violence. Responded to by A. F. Judd. C. Thb IIkkoks of 1776. Their memory is ever a sacred heritage to us, may their S'ns in defence cf the Uuion emulate the heroism of their fathers in its establishment. Responded to by K. O. Hall. 7. Thk Memory ok Washington-. May the God to whose bosom lie has been fathered, give eHce and uni y to the l.nd he loved ; itnd in love, may the nation hold his memory as a com mon heritage to inspire loyal aud uusullied patriotism. Responded to ty II. II. Parker. Some of the addresses made in response were j well-prepared and well-delivered, and ull breathed ! the spirit of Union and devotion to the mother j country. We much reeret our space forbids i j their ii'rtion. - , j a r to.isis una responses wore j everal volunteer toasts and addresses werJ ! . ?araong which was one by Mr. I. BartlettJ ng to a subject which had barely been all ' t by any of the epeakcra S la vert, and;! .atli-blow it had received by the Etnancipa- Proclamation. Ilia remarks were those of a i 41 Ilepubliean, earnest and warm, and evi itly in full sympathy with the feelings of the .ssemblage. They were followed by three hearty cheers for the Emancipation Proclamation. It was nearly 4 o'clock, when the guests began to retire from the table, and the Chair man rose and announced that a gentleman had offered the framed Proclamation of Freedom to the slaves, which hung near by, to be sold for the benefit of the Sanitary Fund. Mr. Sever ance was soon at his post and commenced the sale, the earlier bids running up to 0. The purchasers, in each instance, had the picture resold for the same object, the whole avails amounted tj 453. The last purchaser, Capt. Waterman, presented the Proclamation to the American Minister. The portrait of Washington, before referred to, was then presented and sold for the same object, the total receipts from it amounting to $U0. These suras will be forwarded to the U. S. Sanitary Commission, and including the pre mium on exchange, will probably make a gift of One Thousand Dollars, as a Fourth of July donation from Americans in Honolulu, for the relief of their countrymen, wounded and dis abled in the civil war. After the auction, the ballotting for President was announced, with the following result, which met three hearty cheers : For Abr. Lincoln 287 votes. For Geo B. M'ClelUtn, 11 " For John C. Fremont, 4 and may it prove, as one remarked, ,4 as goe3 Honolulu, so goes the Union." Tlvre must have been nearly one thousand persons present on this occasion. Besides Amer icans, we observed English, French and German families, who enjoyed the festivities as heartily as did the former. All who came were welcome, though no special invitations were sent out. All the officer3 of the Russian war steamer in port honored the occasion, with their presence. There were several flattering allusions to Russia and the Russians, which were sufficient to ehow them that American and Russian hearts were united by tho same b.nd of universal freedom. Among the guests we aliio noticed several of the Consular corps. We must not omit to allude t the singing, which was ndniirable. Among th piece pnng Wt-re We are coming, Father Abraham," " God save the King," Hail Columbia," The Flag of our Union." "The red, white and blue," &c., &c. After the dinner was over, and indeed while it was in progress, the younger portion of the assemblage, under the leadership of Dr. Hoff mann, engaged in the dance, and it was a beauti ful sight to see the children, with their white dresses and long flowing sashes of white, red and blue, moving so gracefully and happily around the hall, which had been tastefully prepared for them, and hung with banners, and to which the motto 44 Young America" hanging in ever greens on one side of the hall, invited them " to go and mingle In the pay festal dance, where every heart li beating tus:er than the merry tune " The Doctor's versatility in devising ways and means to amuse the little folks was unbounded, and it will be a long time before they forget him, 44 the fourth," or that hand organ. At early dusk, the crowd, which had dis persed, began to reassemble on the premises to witness the fireworks, which had been prepared for the occasion under tho direction of Messrs. Atherton and Blaisdell. They were imported from Boston, and though comprising only the plainer varieties, such as rockets, blue lights 6erpent, Roman candles, mines, colored Bengo las, &e., were the finest we have ever seen in Honolulu. We have had fireworks here on several tceasions, and some very costly ones, but never any that surpassed these, which were manufactured in Boston. The scene, as the blue, red and yellow lights blazed up and re flected their glare over the tents, trees and peo ple, was very beautiful. The fireworks over, the guests assembled in the tent which had been prepared for dancing. It was gracefully festooned with evergreens and flao-f. while T'ietures and mottoes shone out on every side. The hall was lighted with some twenty large Union lanterns, made of trans parent paper, of red, white and blue, reflecting various mottoes, the U. S. coat-of-arms, &c. These cast a cheerful light over the scene, and added to the novelty of tho occasion. The dancing commenced about 9 o'clock, under the direction of Dr. Hoffmann, and was kept up interrupted only by the collation till the " Wee sn:a' hours ayont the twal," when the assembly broke up, and the festivities of July 4th, 18G4, closed. We have never seen our American National Anniversary kept in a more hearty and enthusi astic manner. There was perfect unanimity of sentiment. The central location drew together an unusually large crowd, while the liberality of the committee in providing so abundantly everything needed for the occasion, added much to the enjoyment. The members of it deserve credit, and in behalf of those there, we feel authorized to thank them for the time and atten tion devoted to it. Especially, do we thank Capt. Babcock and his lady, who were all devo tion and attention to their guests. Such festivities as this that has just closed are calculated to increase the bond cf Union and national sympathy between countrymen living in foreign climes, and to inspire the young and glowing hearts of their children with Jove and veneration for the land and memory of their ! forefathers. The very atmosphere is soul-inspir-i inc, and fills every bosom with patriotic fervor. . rvmld look upon those stars and stripes, waving so proudly arouna inem, Hmmu axili a micni but fervent praj-er bursting up from the soul, that "The star-spnngl.-d banner forever may wave. O'er the land of the free and the home of brave," and that those brave soldiers who are now marching under its sacred folds, with Grant and Hancock and Butler, and battling with treason before Richmond, may be, and perhaps this very day, were, enabled 41 to plant its stars of glory" on tho fortifications that encircle that nest of treason, and over tha hed Libby Prison the charnel-lot?e and grave of so many thousands of our brave kinsmen, who have fallen victims to the slaveholder's rebellion. ftwft By AMATUERS, all Hawaiians, TV ILL BE GIVES" AT THE KAWUAHAO GHURCH I In Honolulu, on T luiFsdsir Eve'g, Jul) 14, At Sight O'clock For the Benefit of the Funds Of the QUEEN'S HOSPITAL !
