Bulloch, esq. at the Presbyterian Church; to be pieced eii by the readitiij ol the Deciuralion of Inde pendence by Major Ch milton. If it he admitted that tlie earth is re-peopled every thirty years the anniversary of-American independence may be said to be celebrated this day by a second generation. The po sition will be almost established on looking round and viewing the few surviving worthies ol 76; and these must soon be summoned hence, to mingle with their revolutionary col leagues, to receive the reward of virtue and pa triotism. Let not the report they are then to make to their brethren our fathers be unworthy the descendants of such ancestors. Let us ex amine ourselves if we feel as they did this day thirty-one years; when, stimulated bv an ho liest indignation at tlie oppressions of Britain, they threw oil’ her ty tannic yoke, declared thcnisel.es free and independent, and were rea dy to sacrifice every eunhiy consideration at ! the shrine of patriotism and iibeity. They j established for us a form of government, the happiest under Heaven, taught us how to che rish it, and this day finds us in the full enjoy ment ot it. II their principles aie unimpaired in us, some of us may yet live to see realised tlie halcyon days anticipated by the vision in our preceding page. DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. COMMUNICATED. The sacred Pine ! aye, that’s the tree, That lpreads our flag of liberty, ’I was the celebrated Samuel Chase, the Demosthenes of Maryland, who first taught the startled vaults of congress-hall to re-echo the name ot independence. He had enumerated many a glaring instance of most un British vio lation of the poor American lights. 011 all of which, George the 1 bird had looked with most unkingly calmness!—’Twas one ot nature’s orators who spoke His swelling soul was fixed 0,1 George the Third, the expected father of his people. Such unnatural, such unparental indifference to their interests called forth all his rage. His countenance was like the dark stormy cloud, edg'd with lightning—he swung his arm in air, and, with a sufifilos/o /iectis and voice of thunder, that made the hollow dome resound, he swore, by the God of Heaven, “ He or? -d no ullrgiance to ihe King of Great- Britain. ” 1 hat most amiable of men, governor Thomas Johnson, member from Maryland, used to say, that many in congress, at mention of indepen dence, ielt the pang that nature feels when soul and hotly are parting. But, it being feared by congress, that, as the immortal Milton says, ‘ -\'ver can true friendshifi grow where wounds of deadly hate have pier 1 V so derfi ,” they re solved to separate—though many a heart was sad. and many a sigh was heaved. The perso .s appointed by congress to draft this famous bill, were, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams. Di*. Franklin, R. Sikkman and li. R. Livingston. On hearing their no mination to a task so high and arduous, they met, and, after some conversation on the sub ject, parted, under an agreement that each of th ir number should draft his own declaration ot independence, and read it next day, in rota tion, to the rest. At a fixed hour, the next day, they met—but “who should read ,” was the question Mr. Jefferson was fixer! on. After much importunity, he was persuaded to break the ice. He read—and —there was none other read ! How long shall we hate this “ fdain unvar nis/i’d man” ? Say—do we pay as much for his sutfio-i , as th *sc in France or England pay for Bonaparte's stables, or the dog-kennels of the prince of Wales ? BATTALION ORDERS.
