and now, on this our 103 a nnniversnry of
an independence so bravely fought for, so
clinrily given. and so spunklly maintained,
our 45 millions of people covering the
fairest part of God‘s green earth. can re
view. with less and less acrlmony at each

our early history.
in spite of the ruin which precluded open

As the procession advanced up the wharf,
they Were met. by 11. L. ’l‘lbbuls, Esq..
Marshal ot'the day. who took command,
and whose good management throughout
the day is worthy ufztll praise. This gen

pains manifested to make the day’s pleas

and their ulllccrs.
At 2 p. m., the procession filed into

so attentive were the audience to those
