Sin tines past, the 4th of July;
the old fourth; the glorious fourth
was a day which afforded us an op
ortunity, "as local," of distinguish
ing ourselves among the corp-, edito
rial. Since then dear readers, what
a change has taken place in the his
tory of our nation. We hope, and
cannot help but think, it is for the
better. In the 'fourths" gone by we
would grasp the hand of each other,
with feelings purely brotherly,
whether, in this city, or that.
We would lhave laid down our lives
in the defence of each other. How
stand we to-day ?
