JULY THE FOURTH—1776.
“ We, ihcrcf. re, the representatives of ihe United

When tbit above irrcvnrahle “ Doehimthni ” wos
made hy the Conscript Fatltors of our loutrv, how
were they prepared to carry its sentiments into ef
fect? Was it mule after tho aotunciiitinn of a
great victory l Did tho political horizon give evi
dence of a cluuJisss sunshine ? Wore they strong
in men—in arms—in ammunitionor were the
pe.tplo they worn willing to sacrifice their all for,
intitrd in oj.i'.fant NU.
Th • man of gnuius, of i.ifluence, of private worth,
nnd the patriot, tlmugh in favor of an English
Union, D ckixson, with an eloquence not inferior
In this greatest orators nf antiquity—with nn ear
nestness, a force, and nn intiepidity, that showed
hi*-inan ity, conjured them tint, to throw off their
allegiance to tho British Crown—or if they did, not
to ad opt the Rqr.iMienn form of Government. He
quoted the Republics of Greece 'and Romo—the
whole authority of history was brought to boar with
vehemence nnd with zeal on his side of the ques
tion. Sumo of his positions were then irresistible
—>u - *anlt ivmld not injure them—they stood tin-
touched. But row it. is otherwise, because thn
greut experiment lias been tried—' MAS ts CAPA-
HLK I-T a LF-OOVKHNMKNT.” The reply of DlCK-
is*on to the no'lo Vitginlan, RtriiAttn Hf.sry
Lee, was listened to *' with atloiiiiou,” the histo
rian tells os. But. the Genius of Liberty presided
over tho destinies of that day. She \va« resolved
to build a Templo on this hemisphere, and one that
should bo at onco bountiful to the eye, and jet in
vincible in its strength. The words of Lkk worn
buri d in tho henrts of his uudiiors; the logic of
Dickinson fell to the ground, and an admiring
world saw with gratitude, that the people of Ame
rica were determined to dare what laid long been
thought impossible. Yes—thn burning words of
Richard Hknkt Lee—‘‘Let this hnppv dny give
birth to tho American Republic 1” were responded
to—they passed ns watchwords ulang tho plains—
wer- - re-echoed o’er tho Alleghanies, and gladdened
each true freeman’s heart.
We asked was it in an hour of victory, that our
honored sires proclaimed the independence of their
country ? No. Disaster upon disaster had at'end
ed their arms—now nnd then, to bn sure, cheered
by n ray of victory—but still writing had been ac
complished to justify their " Declaration." in n
mero prudential point of view. But Thomas Jef-
FRttsoN, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin,
Rookr Sherman, and Philip Livinoston, were
appointed a Committee of Congress, and in thn face
of ell difficulties—relying on Divino Providence, and
on the virtue of their cause, this “ Spartan Band ”
made a report, that the Thirteen Confrderate
Colonies should di-sol vt oil allegiance to the
British Cm ten, and were free and-independant,
under tho name of the THIRTEEN UNITED
STATES.
Readers, this is ths Anniversary of the dny that
made your country a nation—on the dawn af tho
4th of July, 1776, millions rose with the mrao
of subjects of a foreign power, yet deprived of tho
dearest rights sot forth in Magna Charlatan
that night they lay down freemen, and citizens of a
Republic, whose flag floats now on rvegy sea.
f As you love j^r country—os you would preserve
•.liberty, instil in tho breads of your children, tho
^principles that animated the meu of 1776—so that
Jlf occasion should ever arise, they too, will not think
*ny sacrifice too great for their country—aye, oven
<to the pledging of " their lives,their fortunes, and
■ -.their sacred honor."

ANNIVERSARY OF OUR INDEPENDENCE.
Thursday wns n brilliant dap-in Savannah, A
Nation’s Jubilee was celebrated in u tnannnr that
wn» most cmlitablis to the dvcondntrts of tho men of
'76.
At the appointed hour tho procession, the pro-
gramme of which ha* been already published, was
formed, and proceeded to the Theatre.
When the line rearhed then*, it was found that
possession Imd luvii nltvndy taken of the foitrevs.
Yes, the bright eyes nnd tosy lip* of Suvnnnah's
fuir children had appropriated to themselves a vast
portion of that roomy edifice} nnd right happy were
wo to vet* them in their proper places, listening to
tho words of patriot t-m, nnd drinking ut tiie foun.
lain nf wisdom.
Numbers were deprived of the pleasure of henr-
big tho oration, hy the crowd that attended. No
building in Savannah could hold tin-in nil.
L. S. D'LvoN, Esq., the Render, made some
prefatory ••iMiinrkn bef. i-c reading tho Declaration,
which we e appropriate, mid well received.
The Ora or II M. Chari.tos.delivered a* fine

ension. We have often listened with pleasure to
his .-I iq-iem laagu igo. hut wo nre of opinion, that
he made n treater impressimi nu Tlinrsdnv, than ho
ever did before. History, Poetry, nnd Nature were
in their turns made subservient to hi* will. Ho
moved ids hand, nnd it Imd the power of un on*
chanter’* ward. Hi* subject, front ni.nunlrepi ti-
tion*,—is, if such n theme can be, threadbare—vet,
with hint, it hnd till tho freshneas—the vigour of a
gushing spring. Wo would ho happy to pluro it
before our venders, if we e.ouM, that they might
road, nnd, with us,be proud of otic of Savunr.uh’s
most gifted sou*.
At five o’clock, tho Republican Blues, with their
guests sat down to a sumptuous repast in tho Ex
change. It was in truth,u delicious banquet. Ices,
pastry, finit, of all kinds, sparkling champagne,
and old and mellow Madeira, with Chateau Mar-
gnus were there. The toast nnd «entintent, tho song,
and gleo went round nnd round the board. Tho a**

TRANSACTIONS OF THE "HUCKLEBER
.RY CLUB."
BT THE CROUPIKR.
The weekly mcotings of our members have been
held, Mr. Editor, ut the old ground, during the
" huckleberry season," and we never Intended to
mnlto an ungrateful world acquainted with any of
our wise sayings, our notings, or doings, until yes
terday, when it wns unuiiimously agreed that we
should make our good deed* io some measure pub
lic, for the benefit of posterity—but not for thi*
foolish generation.
Monday, being tho 999th Anniversary of our
•Frolics, we assembled in groat numbers at tho Wig
wam, in the middle of a shower of rain.
Sergeant Swiookm, our rosy-cheeked Prosidunt,
took tho chair—if n big squash d«*ervas that name.
Tho Secretary, Mr. Bloe Bottle, took his place,
with a good long pioce of pitch pine, and a first-rate
oyster knife, to keep tally—it being ono of tha rule*
that no man who can read or write shall bo Sucre-
tnry.
Your faithful correspondent, who is oral record
er. a* well as Croupier, fell Into bis position at the
end of a long plank laid on tho green sward, (on
which wns a bucket of Pouch Brandy, a calabash
of pure water, and many branches laden with huckle
berries,) und all tho attendant members squatted
down, as became them.
Tho President took out his pocket’kerchief, and
applied it to tho honored handle of hi* ruby face,
and blew a n«te that made the welkin ring. This
was tho-cull to order, and it was instantly obeyed.
Sergeant SwtaoEM then said: Gontlem-n of the
Huckleberry Club, bo it known to you. that our
time-honored Society—which for 999 yearn has as
sembled on thi* spot—where ToMochichi himself
brandished hi* wur club—hid dofiance to hi* pale-
faced foes—and ato huckleborrie*—bo it known tn
you at onco—for 1-ke all men of my sitn, I’m short-
winded—that I huvo the sorrowful duty to perform,
of calling your attention to an invasion of our an
cient privileges. Our friund and brother, Mr.
Vkuy-Ass, who is the greatest man of his cloth in
this ago or country, has made a sad goat of himself,
by changing the name which hi* re*pect«d puronts
gave him. when he wn* ushered into this world of
care and sorrow. Wlio'd havo thought that hs
would ever appear in print—that he would disclose
the icrrets of our frat«rnity—and publish to the
world of fools, what we, In m>r wisdom, hud resolv
ed on nt our Inn mooting ? True, we had deter
mined to burn tha \Vm. OraToif, or cdt her in
p eces—and to make the rascally yellow fever,
turn " ritht about face," and march "bock again"
to Charleston, And, I *uv it more In sorrow than
lu auger, nur deluded brother destroy'd all our
hopae uf glory and rcr.own—and has brought the
Philistines upon ut. Our former anniversaries
wore celebrated In joy ami harmony—this will ha
•ad and dismal. To you, I put tha quostloo, what
Im done in this day of our afilictiun t To your
* f look for aid.
[The President hero sat down, took a locofoco
match and gavo it a sinister scrape along tb« plank,
wci the end of n long-nine, and hie rubicund coun
tenance wn* soon lost in a cloud nf smoke.]
Mr. Marrowfat, n hale, beany, pursy member,
said:—I agree with you, Mr. President, that tho
subject you have brought bof.ro it* is one of great
importance. It ttouts of ano who I miss from his
place, nnd who wo wero all wont to cnll brothet.
That ho has bueii a backslider, we all must admit}
hut hit failing L inns that comot home to u* till. I
am not, Sir, learned enough to uitnmpt a descrip
tion ofiho popular unmn of my unfortunate friund
—hut I can safely say, ho has more advantages than
people mnyi mngiuo. When n man i* »ot down for
an Ass, nt once, it i* doing him a great favor—for
no one will nsk Id* advice—there, bit'll cave time.
An Ass can’t make money—nu onu will ask to bor
row of him--there, he'll save Id* cash. Ho mny
build him a house, and no troublesome guests wi|
annoy him, lest the roof should fall on thuir heads.
Slmu d he go into company, ho'U not be turmen cd
to sing—for whu’d cure to h< nr an ass bray T It
duos not bocomu me, Sir, to establish my friend’s
claim to ids euphonious nuutu—it is itis, nnd his
sire bore the samo name before him. I cannot,
thougli, believe that lie over wrote his nnmu with a
T in it—ti.at wos a trick of tho devil.—No, no! my
friend would not strut in borrowed plumes—'he
for prides himself ton much on his comely lung ears
that. I think, Sir, the blame should bo lcil nt the
door of the printer’s devil—or a committee should
ho appointed to wait on tho editor of the Repub
lican, to know if"Vkhv-Ass" d.d put u T in his
name, or wn* it all a mistake ? Mr. M. sqtiuticd
down in his plnce, amidst loud growling.
Mr. Lankkylkos thought they wore making u
greath pother about a small nflhir. What signified
mimes? Ilu had road In Noah Webster's dick-
shunary thut
" A rose by any other name would smell as sweet}’’
nnd though he did not possess tho sonso of smol-
ling, ho doubted not it wns all truo. Indeed ho hud
reason to ho thankful that itis olfactory nerves were
deficient—for to judge hy nppnorances, ottnr of
roses would bo required in tho neighborhood of Mr.
Goutytoks, who squatted next him, In all cun-
science, and perfect sincerity, ho thought tho wholo
nffuir wns ft humbug} nnd if they would nnt nil
share tho fate of " Very-Ass"—and bo laughed at
by the coxcombical mushrooms—alius " Prickly
Pear Club," they would oat thoir huckloborrios,
drink thoir peach brandy—and own tho soft im
peachment thnt they imd tho misfortune to havo
a brother n Jack Ass. Mr. Lankylroi showed
that whatever other* might do, he'd follow tho ad
vice lie gave, and took a full bumper of peach.
Mr. Pktkr Piotail said that lie henrd a great
deul of talk, but nothing to tho purpose. Ho would
movo thnt they should expel Mr. ", Vkry-Ass,"
fqr promulgating the Beprels nf the Club—that they
should ull go before'Squire Frizzlewio, nnd swear
lie never had a T lu III* name—that they know him
io lie nn ass all his days, nnd that ho sprung from
a triho of a**es—nnd thut tho " Prickly Pear
Club,*' wore " no hotter than they should bo."
Mr. IIaMhome seconded the motion, and it wns
passed unanimously.
The knotch-stick of thu Secretary, wh i had gono
asleep, was Imre examined, and found deficient. Ho
was fined for neglect of duty, nnd cashiered.
Mr. Pancake said, recent evonts mode It neces
sary that wo should come oiit in tho newspapers
ouranlvos, or by deputy. A* far ns he was concern
ed, every body knew that ho could nnt write—but n
friend who sometime* dnhbled in filthy ink, had
offered' to make a fair Btntomont of nur deeds,
That friend wns
the Croupier.—(Loud cheers.)
By general consent, Sir, l was permitted to tran.
scribe, from m"mory, tho " transactions " of our
Club, on Monday, end here you havo thorn, cut
id dry.
Tho Club then adjourned sine die.
I muy remark that our President never soiled Ids
"inexpressibles" front nr roar, nor fell on his
iquaslt—and thnt wo all went home sober—'which
is more than tho Secretary of the " Prickly Ponr
Cluo " can say, for all thoir fine *ponchos, and thoir
four eyed orutqrs.
We extract the following for tho connexion it hos

Extracts of letters received in thi* city, datetl
LIVERPOOL, 11th lime, 1830.
Sir t—Much anxioty was of courso manifested
by tho public for tho nows per steamer " Liverpool,"
in lho 18th ult., which would sot the question oftho
Cotton Crop beyond a doubt.
Tho matter is now considered as settled.—be
tween 1,350,000 n 1,400,000" bales—those most
conversant with tho trade, nur largest buyer*, and
all who aro necustomod to look beyond tho im
mediate moment, concur in opinion that even at the
existing rate of consumption, so limited a crop
would be pregnant with danger to the manufactur
ing interest. In tho moanwhllo. ns it is said that
thu Board of Director* of the Bunk of England
make no secret of thoir intention* towards this
trade, wo cannot omit some nbsorvntiun* on their
proceeding*. Nnt only through prlvnto chan
nels, hut nlio through that portion nf tho pub
lic pres* avowedly in heir interest, is the subject
canvass - d} Cotton und Cotton Importers aro vehe
mently descried} and every possiblo suspicion is
rust on thn reports of tho American planter* who
nctunlly gather and pack the Colton on the spot
where it grows, hy thuso gontlomeii who gather
and pnok it in imagination, sealtd in the Back
Parlor in London. It is said that they openly
avow their determination to break down tho mono
poly, ns they ignorantly assume It to bo, of tho
Amorivun Banks—Uttto dreaming that there is at
this tinio more solid and independent British and
Amorirun capital embarked in thu Cotton Trade
than thurn lots been for some years past. It is al
so said that they are resolved to bring down Cot
ton lo a price which they imagine, will liidifo tho
Continental Denier* in Yarns, to make as largo
purchase* here as they did la*t year} hut they nr*
guo very short-sightedly *, for this demand could on
ly ho supplied by a crop of 1,800,000 hales. All
intelligent men aro aw nre that tho rules which gov
ern prices aro supply ami demand. Now, wo urc
satisfied that tho supply will bo 400,000 bale* less
than that of last yene, or 300,000 bulcs less than
tho then actual consumption. We also know, that
tho only way to prevent n deficiency in tho produo*
tion of any commodity, I* to enhance tho price of
it; nnd, therefore, this attempt to lower tho nrtlela
demonstrate* a singular opposition to tho establish
ed laws of commerce, and will eventually counter
act their pwn intentions. But admitting that they
should succeed, and that the Continental dealers
buy largely—what then is to bo tho range of prices
throe months from thence ? It is evon now shown
by tho high prices of provision* in tho great South-
Western Cotton Regions of tha United States, and
tho increased value nf slitvo labor In the Atlantic
States, that little probability exists of a crop even of
1,700,000 hales for next yenr.
To return to matter of fnct. The import during
tho month of May, amounted to 07,000 bnles (
ngain*t 106,000 in May last year} tho entire Import
for the year is 420,000 bales ngninst 734,000 bales
at this time last yenr; and yet, with such a dimi
nution, tho present stock i* 244,000 ngninst 385,000.
Thia would show nn immense falling off in tho con
sumption, but It i* well known that tho Trade now
hold nothing { they havo consumed all their surplus
i-tock, which is genurally ostimated at 120,000
bale*.
Notwithstanding those observations wa cannot
withhold our mood of praise from this Institution,
on their conduct throughout the Inst few months;
and dn the patient forbearance wilh which they
withstood fur so long a period the application nf
those measure* which were at length found neces
sary to put a stop to this drain of bullion} a drain
for rapidity unexampled. Wo nre happy to sny
they havo already produced moit beneficial results,
to this country, and ero long wo shulI doubtless be
recoivors of the precious metals.
The sales for the week ending tho 7th inst., wero
23,000 bales, at an advance in price of J a 4, about
500 bales were on speculation, and 1,700 for ex
port ; since then tho daily sides have not beon less
than 4,000 hales, and confidence in the mainte
nance of present prices daily increases; neverthe
less, there is much to be feared in the event of Con
tinental buyers of Yarns holding bark, which they
would do were our market to advance beyond I-I6d.
or at most {d. ptr week; nnd a* this demur on
their pait would draw down tha determined ire of
thu Bank of England, we rather advocato the doc
trine of cvety holder of Cotton meeting la some de
gree the demand which has now evidently set in.
We shall do so.
AH danger to the crops appears now to have pas
sed over; and gold has been seen from France; the
order* from tho Continent for Yarns and goods are
also coming in more frooly.
Liverpool Juno 13th, 1839.
Owing ton change of wind, we have
unusually heavy arrivals of Cotton, and it is sup
posed the Imports of the week ending to-morrow,
-ill exceed 100.000 Bale*.
What effect so suddsn and great an addition to
our stock, will have upon prices, it is difficult to
say.
Tkeru is no doubt, that the tendency to advance
which was ob-ervahle last week, will bo checked,
and as somo of the Importer* will bo desirous to
realize, as soon as tha cotton is landed, we ara in
clined to think, that prico* will full a little. The
present rates are not low enough to induce spinners
to lay In large stocks, und the complaints of the
state of trade, both In Yarns and Good*, are still
vory great. In the last tilt nn weeks, the fluctue*
lions with price* of cottun have not been material.
Our chief sih-s are in uplands at7|d a 8J, and
In Oilvan* and Mobile, at 7| a OJd. On the 7th

who maintain, that with our bad tradi*, and its at

there ure others, who placing thoir main dependence
