At 10 o’clock, the Young Men's Debating Club, of Jackson, were presented with n hvaiiiifnl banner, by Ti. H. Cine- ■•, on behalf iif the donors, in the following neat little spot eh: " .Mr. Preside nt: —On behalf of these C o furnished the material and executed the milting of this banner, 1 am requested to in-sent it, through yon, to the Young Men’s Debating Club, of Jackson, over which yon reside. Accept it, sir, as a token of regard vr the members of the Club, and we trust ■hat the sentiment tin r n in- ribed, “J'frst c nfin Omni i Viucit," may not bo forgot ’tu till they may have attained their highest lim. And may the sun of prosperity sliine 'pon them tlirougli life, with the same lustre -nt tiie sun of Heaven enlivens this, the •iglity-first morn of onr National Indcpen bnee, and enable them to become examples il learning and probity, mid bright shining 'bit's in die galaxy of statesmen Such, sir, s °itr wish, and such 1 doubt not is the wish ’i all, ami it remains now for you to uccom tlish the rest.” D was received by John W. Armstrong, i- President, on behalf of the Club, who responded as follows: " Lenti.kih.x:—Though there are but few we to witness this ceremony, yet language s rich enough to express the sentiments a liich 1 feel on this occasion. The oiilylliing ll:,t 1 can do, is on behalf of the Club, to this most exquisitely designed and I'Autilully executed banner, and return to 11, 1 their sincere and heart-felt thanks. And lllu, v me to assure you, gentlemen, that this "ark of resjiect nml favor confered, will be ■iensured up la appreciating heart \ and long rtneinbered with grateful feelings; and too, i 1 i l "‘ll stimulate each and every one of 1 inb to renewed exertion; uml while they 'el daringly aspire to even the highest round j 1 me ladder of fame, they will ask your in i and that of community, until the a -oeiation, now in its infancy, shall have ■ l "wn to vigorous manhood; and, if they Ua y u cver reach the pinnacle to which you 6 80 eloquently pointed, then they will at least hi; benefittcd in nu eminent degree by their efforts to attain the more desirable goal. Believe me, gentlemen, they will add one other maxim to that described on the banner, and keep them steadily in united view; and that maxim is one very tersely expressed by a celebrated writer, in these words: ‘'ln the bright lexicon of youth, which fate reserves for aspiring manhood, there is no such word ns fail.” The banner was of bine satin on the one side, with the inscription, ‘Young Men’s De bating Club, of Jackson;” “ Penn;tranli i, Om nia Vcnr.il;" and (he reverse of pink satin, plain. Ihe banner was trimmed with silver fringe, and mounted on an elegant staff. THE PROCESSION. At JI o’clock the procession; formed on Court street, under the supervision of the t hief Marshal, H. A. Eichelberger, who was mounted on a grey horse, caparisoned with red housings trimmed with silver lace; aided by Mark Shepard, Esq., who rode a black horse, with orange colored housings trimmed with blue and silver. In advance was a brass band from Sacramento; following them was the Young Men’s Debating Club, num bering twenty-eight members under the charge of th"ir owiwMarshal, P. C. Johnson, Esq.; at their head was borne their beautiful ban ner; each of the members wore a satin badge on the left breast. Ac.U came the National Colors, borne by Deo. Durham, supported on the right by El ks Evans and on the left by Leonard Cooney, and followed by A. C. Brown, President of the day, and the Committee of Arrangements. Then came the ladies, among whom were many from abroad. Then came the Jackson Hook and Ladder Company in their gay, new uniforms, drawing the “truck" of their guests, which wa-decorated with rosettes and wreaths of evergreens and surmounted by an American Flag supported by Masters J. \V.

The appearance of the two companies was beautiful, and a liner looking set ot men we have never seen together. The rear was brought up by a largo con course of citizens on foot, marching two abreast. The procession moved down Court street to .Main; down Main to Water, down Water to Broadway, through Broadway out of the town and to the Turn Vercin grounds, where all were seated beneath the arbor and awn ings prepared. EXERCISES. A. C. Brown, Esq,, Master of Ceremo nies, called the assemblage to order, and the exercises commenced with Music, “Hail Columbia.” Reading of the Declaration of Indepen dence, by S. B. Axtcll, Esq. Music, “Star Spangled Banner.” ORATION. The President here arose ami stated that the Orator of the day had not arrived, but he knew from the happy appearance of the faces before him that they would not let this mar the joy of the occasion. The Declara tion in itself was an oration perfectly satis factory to every American; and when we view the triumphs of onr forefathers in estab lishing the liberty we now enjoy, and which w e JACKSON, AMADOR COUNTY, CAL., SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 11, 1857. have met to commemorate, we should let no trivial matter cloud our pleasures. The President here introduced J. W. ARMSTRONG, ESQ. who after apologizing for his inability to do justice to so grand a theme as this day sug gests, at so short a notice or rather with no notice at all, said, in substance; When we look bock on those days, which, although they were days of trouble and vicissitude to our fathers, we arc filled with laudable pride for the energy and fortitude with which those trials were met and finally overcome. Their struggles against oppression ensured to ns the right ot freemen, and their deeds are now borne abroad to an admiring world. In the days of 76, sorrow brooded o’er the land; the sun of prosperity veiled his face and the mourners refused to be comforted, but the men, and the women too, proved adequate to the times, bared their breasts to the storm, withstood the shock of tyranny, trusted their cause to the God of battles and came off triumphant, victorious—bequeathing to ns the reverse, the contrast of their years of suffering. To day the radiant sun looks down joyonsly on happy, exultant millions of Free men—Nature with her smiling face welcomes onr festivities, onr .Mountain towns reverber ate the shouts of liberty and the Valleys cra dle the resounding echoes. Your beaming faces, ladies and gentlemen, speak of the gen eral felicity. All things seem to unite in the celebration of onr emancipation from the thraldom of a heartless throne. Americans high or low, basking in the sun of prosperity or w rapped in the clouds of ad versity, among friends or enemies, on land or sen, in the midst of civilization or camped among savages, on whatever soil, in whatever clime, their hearts swell with enthusiasm and they hail this day with rapture. And they are not alone in the welcome of this political sabbath. A whole Christian world is this day moved by a kindred sentiment, and would gladly join us openly in onr peons of praise to freedom. [Applause.J My friends, while sheltered from the storms of distraction, let us be firm in onr resolve to aid others, by our adhesion to a free govern ment, in snapping asunder the chains of self constituted rulers, and spread for them the banquet of luxurious, freedom. [ApplAuse.] When wo people onr memories with the images of the past and see the brave and high sonled few, who, spurning the bodily ease offered by those who would yet hold the mind in slavery—turning them from the blan dishraentsof Courts and palaces to the dreary wilds of the New World—crossing the track less Atlantic and planting themselves here to undergo all the hardships of emigrants to an unknown hind, our hearts thrill with admi ration for their guardianship of the mind, “that god like part f man” [Applause] lid other lands boast that they are so free that no slave can breathe their air—yet they wear the badge of vassalage and bend the knee to lords by primogeniture—while we alone acknowledge none oar superiors, and pay fealty only to onr Constitution and our God, lie who created all men free and equal. [Applause.] but tliis liberty—this heir loom of Free dom, tlie second best gift of God to man, which has been handed down to us for three quarters of a century was not a free gift to onr ancestors, but was purchased at the price of blood; and though dear bought is not therefore immortal, it needs our most fos tering care. It is n tender plant that can only flourish in the hot house of the affec tions of an intelligent people. Ignorance can furnish it no soil in which to take root, and the murky clouds of superstition give forth no genial showers for its nourisnment. It glories in such institutions us these, [poin ting to the Debating Club,] and that motto, “ Perstteranlia Omnia Vincit,” is sugges tive of the care it requires and the success of that perseverance. In conclusion, ladies and gentleman I would say, may the American Flag, proudly unfurl cd ever float in the breeze of prosperity, as it docs to day, over a free people, unreut by faction, unstained by the blood of civil war, unpolluted by corruption —spotless us the Alpine snows, until the ship of time shall have borne generation upon generation across the tempestuous sea of life to a placid haven in eternity. Music by the Band. The President then introduced JAMES T. BROWN, a youth, of the V. M. D. Club, who deliv ered the following eulogy on the character of Washington and the heroes of the Revolu tion. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen— you must not expect from me that which you would hear from ono of older and more expe rienced. Still 1 may be pardoned for coming of which I am a member, I have been placed before yon, to aid in the celebration of this day, which it' well becomes every American to maintain as a national holiday, but in the midst of our rejoicing, lot us not forget those who secured to ns the liberties we en joy, nor the privations endured that we might have freedom and happiness. Put aside tin; romance their adventurers now have in looking at them through the lapse of time, and we see the self denial of our fathers in leaving a homo of luxury to seek a place in a wilderness where they could worship God according to the dictates of their conscienc es. And Washington, though a general, at the head of an army, knew none of the pleas ures, but only the hardship* of a soldier's life. From ids youth up he seems to have attracted attention for his fitness to command and control. And in Ids manhood proved the right one to lead our fathers through the struggle in which they threw of the yoke of tyranny sought to bo fastened on ns by ttie nation from whom wo descend. No obstacles could turn them from their purpose; and this day as we view yon Star Saangled Ban in r unfolding itself over us, our hearts throb with emotion, and thanks ascend from every American heart that we are children of such parents. Proud are we that our Heaven aspiring bird, onr crude is protected by a flag that is now displayed to an admiring and re specting world. 1 shall not recount to you the scenes of those days that gave birth to a government nobly built upon the simple will of the peo ple •> I need not tell you how the very boys were brave—that when a delegation of lads of Boston waited on General Gage to re monstrate with him on their wrongs; be, was struck with their noble bearing,and exclaimed, “ the very children draw in love of liberty with the air they breathe.” Nor need I carry yon to Charlestown Heights where the untrained Americans kept the well drilled foe led on by skillful officers at hay till ammuni tion failed. Oftimes defeated hut never conquered, half clothed, ill fed, their blood staining the ground over which they march, homes deso lated and property destroyed, they still per severe—an occasional gleam of success ligh ting them on; and finally they triumph over all. What a change since then ! The three millions have increased to thirty millions of inhabitants. What was then a faint hope is now a magnificent reality. England is no more mistress of the sens. Onr commerce whitens every sen. And in all the arts we equal the best. To secure this for ns our fa thers poured out their blood. It was not for titles and wealth, and honors; those they spurned when offered as the price of liberty. I'hey have handed down to ns a government and laws under the broad shadow of whose wing the genius of man, free ns the air we breathe, asserts its power and has placed our inventions for the benefit of mankind far in advance of the nge and beyond comparison. Our Constitution framed by them has been justly called, “ the brightest specimen of leg islation on record, the polar star of freedom, the great palladium of our government, a shield against innovation and corruption, a terror to tyrants, a shining light to patriots, and stamps with immortal and lasting fame the names Of its authors.” 1 will not under take to enumerate all the bright gifts of onr revolutionary sires, the fruits of their labors. Gloriously did they sustain themselves in their assertion “that these united colonies are, and of right ought to bo, free and indepen dent States.” [Applause.] Tdc Master of Ceremonies then introduced I*. C. Johnson, Esq:, Toast Master, who read the following REGULAR TOASTS. I. The Day ire Celebrate: The Eighty-First of the existence of the Model Republic of the world ; the (>reat Heart of the Nation throbs with ('lati tude to the Ruler of the Universe, and thirty mil lions of people rejoice in the knowledge that man is capable of self-government. This was responded to by J. F. Hubbard, Esq., as follows ; No language Hint I could use on this occa sion could add glory to this day, the 81st an niversary of the Declaration of Independ ence. Man’s capacity for self government has been fully exemplified, and nations no longer look on ns as an experiment. The names of Jcffer.-on, Adams and their compat riots are acknowledged as the builders of a Temple of Liberty that is to endure forever. In connection with that fabric this day cannot lie forgotten. [Applause.] 11. The President of the [Tailed Stales: The head tenant in the household of the American people; limy he so conduct his term of service that at the end of his employment, he may be welcomed again as one of the fete sovereigns of tin; land. Music; “President’s March.” 111. George Washington : May the Father of our Country ever live in our affections, his ashes sleep sweetly in the sepulchre, and his shade never be grieved by an ungrateful disregard for the example he set the American People. Response by R. M. Briggs, Esq.; However selfish Americans may be in en deavoring to appropriate the illustrious name of Washington, yet it cannot be done. His glory is world-wide, and though born in Amer ica. lie is claimed by the Nations of the earth ns theirs also—as the beacon of freedom to which they too may look, and whose example may be followed by their patriots in the on ward march of Liberty. Well did our Fathers appreciate the text “cast thy bread upon the waters;” and though the days of their struggles were dark, and they contended against fearful odds; yet their hearts failed them not; they “east their bread upon the waters,” with n firm reliance that if they should not survive the contest, the fruit would come to tli<-ir children. Now, none of those who signed the Declaration are living. Their bones are mingled with the dust of their mother earth, yet their fame is undy ing; and we enjoy the full fruition of their holies, we reap the fruits; and here, faraway on the shores of the Pacific, the joy men, aye, and of free ladies, is ihiy. Let as not forget that in honoring Washington we honor ourselves, ns a part of the great Nation that maintains the liberty he gave. It lias been said Hint Napoleon stands with out a parallel. Yet what did lie in compari son with Washington and the American peo ple? Oar example bus shaken thrones, ce mented though they were by the Mood of slaughtered victims. The name of Washing ton, like magic, lias undermined the founda tions of ancient monarchies and brought about a new course of events. Eighty-one years is a short period of time compared with the age of the world; yet see in that short space what the prestige of our glory lias done —see the bloody revolutions —the -druggies for freedom. In time the name of Washington will he toasted by every nation, in every clime Like the stone cut ont of the mountain, his name has already crushed kingdoms in its onward progress, and the time will come when it shall (ill the whole earth. [Applause,] Gloomy indeed were the prospects of free dom in the earth, when the shores of tin country first attracted the few who sought an asylum from tyranny. The seed of Liber ty was brought across the ocean with them. Hut oppression followed them soon, ami a cloud spread over the land. Hut God raised up Washington to burst the bands of the Ty rant, and well he performed his mission. The thirteen meagre colonies are now grown to thirty-one mighty and sovereign States, —the figures are reversed, and so also is our condi tion, —no gloom now, no despondency—all is prosperity and happiness, and the star of Freedom is the day-star of the times. The valley of the Mississippi, then a wildcrne-s, now teems with a free people, and cities adorn the, banks of majestic rivers then only ex plored by the Indian’s canoe. And here, on the shores of the Pacific, three thousand miles from the scenes of his trials and tri umphs, the youngest eliild of the republic' celebrates the day of the Nation’s birth.— California, who sprung, like Minerva, full grown from the brain of the Republic into life, n sovereign State among her peers, joins in the general rejoicing and claims her share of the National glory. We are justly proud of our majestic hills, our fertile valleys, our waving fields of grain, our rich mines, our beautiful women and strongmen; but with nil these let us ever connect the name and mem ory of Washington. This day I know is dear to all; both to him who is born on our soil, and to him who has sought our shores as a refuge from op pression. May its yearly recurrence be hailed with enthusiasm and rejoicing by posterity, and may the name of Washington live throughout time to electrify and encourage mankind. [Applause.] [Noth. 1 was invited to take a drink by one of the Volcano boy, and failed to get .Mr. Brings’ beautiful peroration.— Reporter.'] IV. The Men and IVonicn of '7<l—the Father ami Mothers of the American Republic : Their his tory is their best eulogy; may their children ami their children’s children honor and emulate their courage, virtue, and love of Liberty. Responded to by S. B. Axtell, Esq. : My heart is In the festivities of the day No doubt such is the case with till thos pres ent. hi speaking of those who achieved our independence, 1 am glad to hear the name of the women joined; for surely if our father suffered, our mother- endured tis much or more. Women arc ever patriotic and self sacrificing; and were the contest for freedom to be fought again, the ladies of the present day would bo full as true to their country.— Like the Spartan mothers, they wuuld say to their sons to “return with your shields or on them,” to do or die—their motto, “ Victory or Death.” [Applause ] V. The Declaration of Independence: Dr ifted hy the immortal Jefferson, signed by Patriots whose names will live through all lime, it will er<* lung be the text-book of Liberty for all the world. VI. t'netr Sam: The venerable parent of Thirty- One likely children ; may his children and hischil dren's children increase and multiply until there shall be no more room oa American soil to furnish them with a farm. VII. Calfi rnii: The precocious giant of the I’aciflc, glittering with gold, and peopled with ••fair women and brave men.” Isolated, but not depend cut. While she has money she'll have friends, and her purse has no bottom—lt extends deep In th • bowels of the earth. John 11. Bradley, Esq., being culled upon for a response, gave the following toast: The Miner* nf California: The architects ol California’s greatness, and the true representatives of the dig-nity of labor. Proverbially honest, they make fortunes by picking pocket ». Industrious,ye! very »/ng-islily Inclined. May their "prospects" ever be as bright as their gold, and never less than ••two bits" to the pan, with plenty of "blue dirt and the bed rock pitching.” [Applau- .] VIII. The /‘re**: The engine which make ’ great men greater and small men smaller. Its legitimate work is to promote Truth. Morality and (food Gov ernment ; its prostitution engenders personal strife, degrades society, and produces disobedience to the laws. Powerful for either good or evil, may its power ever be exerted for good. 0. D. A valine responded, saying : May the efforts of the Press for morality and virtue be supported by the community of Amador county. IX. The Imw: The foundation of Government, the pillar of Justice and Equality, the safeguard of the weak against the strong. Can any other “Vs tem in human society Cope with it? Response by W. W. Cope, Esq : The law is the main support of liberty, and os such is venerated by the American people. We will lay down our lives in its support Time will not permit a suitable response. X. The Army and .Vary : The pride of the Na tion; the pow er upon which we rely when w e a-k only for that w hich is right, and submit to nothing that is wrong. The Stars and Stripes arc safe in their keeping. XI. The /julie*: The l i-t end le -f of (1 1- works, and in these days ol hoops and crinoline certainly not the least. Response by A. C. Brown, Esq Tncre is nothing good without thtP’Tadies. We nre indebted to them from the cradle to the grave. The presence of the ladies to-day shows them patriotic, and worthy to bo toast ed. In America the ladies are the best ap preciated and most honored; and thus it ever is, the brave ami free respect the fair. [Ap plause.] XII. Our (lirl*: The keepers ot our heart*, the Venuses of Earth, the lilliesot tin* garden of hu manity, the sweet ministers of love command us ; we will obey them as unconsciously as Grandfather Adam did the importunities of the fair one of Eden. Responded to by John W. Armstrong, as follows : Ladies and Gentlemen, lit reply to the f NUMBER 38. (oust to the fair girl I would say lhat I con cur in that part which says “ obey when they command us,” and pray the fair dam sels of Amador to issue their orders ere wc rßo.ll have crossed the stream of boyhoo 1 and landed on the murky shores of old-bachclor dom, or shall have plunged into the unholy sea of misogamy. Is that the sentiment of those young Gents over there? (pointing to a collection of hcanx who were mixed np with the girls.) [Prolonged Applause.] xril. The (.'aunty of .t mad or: A lover by name, nml lovely in all its peculiarities. May Its beauty ami chivalry be married and given in mar riage. and may they and theirs live long to enjoy and celebrate the Anniversary of Independence, XIV. The Firem n ; The guardians of our lives and property; may they ever occupy the high posi tion in the hearts of the people their noble cause and generous conduct entitle them to. Response by Win. Jennings, Foreman of Jackson Hook and Ladder Co , returning thanks for the notice taken of the Firemen. They were not much at speaking, but when it enmo to action they were always ready and willing. Three cheers were given for the Firemen. Music; “Yankee Doodle.” Three cheers for “The Day wc Celebrate.’’ The procession then re-formed, ami marched back through the same streets to the front of the Court House, where the concourse dis banded, giving cheers for The Marshals, The Day, The Firemen, The V. M. D, Chib, The Ladies of Amador, &e. TIIU CIRCL'S. In the afternoon drew a large uudiuuce, yet the. numbers in the streets did not seem to be decreased. In the evening the Circus again had a fell house, at least six hundred being present.— ’Fhc streets were lined with merrymakers and spectators. THE FIRE WORKS, attracted a greatdeal of attention, the prin cipal ones being on the hill to the East of town, but. rockets were scut up by squads in various places. Till. GERMAN' BALL, At the Turn Yercin grounds drew a great uany together. All kinds of refreshments were obtainable here, and the enjoyment was general, Tim Pavilion erected for dancing was cool and decidedly pleasant. Many of our “first citizens” were prc<«nt and joined in the "mazy dance.” If wc mistake not, the festivities were prolonged to daylight on Sun day morning. INCIDENTS OF THE DAV. No accidents occurred during the entire day, worthy of record, although there was an immense amount of “ beverage” was im bibed, yet but very few intoxicated men could be seen, and those did not seem to be bellig erent. One of the circa men got into a muss with a tailor who had “ Marcy” on his unmentionables, and charged the circus man rather high, lie slapped the tailor’s face, when Mrs. tailor “ pitched in,” and he pitch ed her out of the door. A J ustice of the Peace charg -1 him forty three dollars for the fun. One other tight “Just for sport” came off iu the evening. The Hook Lad ders and their guests cracked several baskets of Champagne at their rooms in the after noon. Wit and humor in the toasts and speeches flowed as freely as the wine. Af terwards they had a run through the princi pal streets with the beautiful truck of the Volcano boys. Sic transit fieri i Satlruav. TOU ROBINSON. H. 0. BKATTr.
