WHOLE NO. 7498. ‘THE FOURTH OF JULY. Roventy-Seventh Anniversary of American Independence. “TWE ‘CELEBRATION IN THE METROPOLIS. bon, 6, de. “We give below the few notices and progimmes sof the public ions of the Fourth of J.‘ly in this city w! are to take place to-day. We leo give a list orators at some of the cele- rations in various parts of the country. Had we Aime and room for the selection we might greatly ‘extend this list of orators, We are inclined to think, * however, that this great anniversary will be leas generally observed by public celebrations than ‘usual. But there is no danger that the day and its ‘Historical remembrances will ever be regarded with ‘apathy by the American people. It was the opinion ‘of John Adams, as expressed in the well-known letter which we now republish, that the day “ought tobe rolemnized from one end of the continent to thefother forever ”:— JOHN ADAMS’ LETTER. . PaiLavevruis, July 5, 1776. Yesterday the greatest question was decided «which was ever devated in America—and greater never was or will he decided among men- resolution was , Without one dissenting colo- ny, ‘That these United States are, and of right ought ‘to be, free and independent States.” The day is . The 4th of July, 1776, will be ‘memorable eng in the of America. I fam apt to believe it will be celebrated b; reser: generations as the creat Aniversary Festival. wught to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, ‘by solemn acts of-deyotion to Almighty God. It ‘ought to be soleminized with pomp, shows, games, poorte, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from ‘one ca‘i of the continent to the other, from this time forward toircYet!

JOHN ADAMS. ‘Tt will be observed that Mr. Adams, in the above letter speaks of the Declaration of Independence as affecting the whole continent of America, and it was on his motion, in the Continental Congress, that the troops raised for the defence of the colonies against Great Britain were styled “ the Continental Army.” The bills of credit issued by order of Congress, also, it will be recollected, were called ‘ Continental Money,” and the word “continental” was constantly spplied in the revolutionary Congress to subjects of mational concern. The patriots of the Revolution, in ‘declaring independence, and fighting to sustain it, believed that all the British colonies on this conti- Rent, including the Canadas and Nova Scotia, would ‘nite eventually in the measure to form a great and independent nation, and that the Spanish colonies to the south and west of us, and north of the Isthmus of Darien, would become part of the republic when ‘wanted, and thus all North Ameriza would form a great and independent continental confederacy. ‘This idea appears clearly in the writings, not only of John Adams, but of Gouverneur Morris, Dr. Timothy Dwight, and other men of the Revolution, and one of ‘the poets of the time expresses the same sentiment, in an epilogue to Addison’s Cato, adapted to the “No ( 3 Des tee via hreetaan dar tere, The subject of independence was debated for coma time in Congress before unanimity could be securea for its adoption by that body. One year before the ~ declaration, and even later, the idea of independence ‘Was disavowed by leading men, and it was not gen- erally popular among the people when first discussed. ‘The necessity for the measure was, however, early foreseen by a few of the most knowing ones, among whom was Dr. Timothy Dwight, of Connecticut, but ‘in his writings he says he found few or none, in 1775,. to countenance it. In Congress it was at length felt ‘that no diplomatic arrangements with foreign powers could be made for assistance until independence was declared, and thus a national existence commenced -by the United States. Independence of Great Rritain ‘was first asserted at a meeting of the people in Meck- lenburg, North Carolina, in May, 1775, more than one year before the declaration by Congress, and soon after that time the question begun to be pub- Jiely discussed throughout the country. As we have Mentioned, the idea at first encountered strenuous opposition, but in a short time was everywhere making rapid progress. The Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland Colonial Assemblies, instructed their delegates in Congress to oppose independence, in November, 1775, and January, 1776. But at this time, the publication of the pamphlet called “ Com- mon Sense,” by Thomas Paine, which had a wide Circulation iurough the cojonies, gave a powerful impulse to the cause of independence. Paine wasa Tecent emigrant from England, and editor of the Pennsylvania Magazine. His celebrated pamphlet, above referred to, written at the suggestion of Dr. Benjamin Rush, then a young and ardent patriot, of Philadelphia, argued in a plain and con- vincing sty!e the folly of any longer attempting to keep up the connection with Great Britain, and the absolute necessity of a final separation. In April, 1776, the North Carolina Provincial Con- ‘vention authorized their delegates in Congress to join with the other colonies in declaring indepen- dence. The Assemblies of Rhode Island and Con- necticut indicated similar inclinations, while in May, 1776, the delegates from Virginia were instructed by the Convention of the Colony:to propose in Congress a declaratfon of independence. At the annual election in Massachusetts, the same month, instructions in fa- vor of independence were voted by the people. In Congress the subject was introduced, June 7, 1776, by Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia, in obedience to the instructions of the Provincial Convention. De- bated the next dey in Committee of the Whole, the resolution in favor of independence was sustained by Lee and Wythe, of Virginia, and by John Adams, of Massachusetts. It was oppored by Dickinson nd Wilson, of Pennsylvania, Richard R. Living- ston, of New York, and Edward Rutledge, of Bouth Carolina, not as bad or improper in- iteclf, but as premature. Of this important cbate, which, like all the other proceedings of the Continental Congress, took place with closed doors, ‘we porstss only the merest outline. John Adams, in 1817, wrote thus to a friend:—‘Of all the speeches made in Congress, from 1774 to 1777, inclusive of both years, not one senfence remains exvept a few periods of Dr. Witherspoon, of New Jersey, printed in his works. I consider the true history of the American Revolution and the establishinent of our present constitution as lost forever. And nothing ‘but mierepresentations or partial accounts of it ever will be recovered.” Several members of the Continental Congress, be- sides those named, distinguished then and after- ‘wards for good services to their country, opposed the resolution in favor of independence. It passed by a bare majority, seven States to six. To give time for greater unanimity the subject was postponed till the first of July; but meanwhile a committee was ap- pointed, consisting of Thomas Jefferson, John Adems, Benjamin iin, Roger Sherman, ahd Robert R. Livingston, tv prepare a formal declaration of independence. Two other committees were ap- pointed, one to draw up a plan of confederation, the other to prepare a scheme of the terms proper for eee MORNING EDJTION-—-MONDAY, JULY 4, 1853. foreign alliances, Congress being firmly con,“inced that the success of thelr cause greatly dependea ° diplomatic On the 28th of June thy” by Jefferson. The subject being taken up in Com- mittee of the Whole on the let of July, the delegates from nine colonies voted for the declaration. New York declined to vote, as no instructions were yet received; Delaware was divided; Pennsylvania, three for and four against it; that of South Carolina one for and three against it. When the question came up for final action two of the Pennsylvania dele- gsstes who had voted in the negative absented thems“lves. Mr. Rodney, of Delaware, decided the vote of ti.%t State in the affirmative. The vote of Seuth Carolita was given the same way. New York still ‘leclined to yote. The declara- tien was ordered td be engrosscd on parch- ment, and was subsequettly signed’ by all the delegates present, including séveral who wéte 7°t members at the time of its adoption. The Provincial Congress of New York,'on the 9th of July, at their meeting at White Plains, gave their sanction to th declaration, which thus became the unanimous act of the thirteen United States. The New Yorledelegates in Congress, except Robert R. Livingston, were among the signers, after receiving authority from their constituents. . The war of the Revolution, which, in the opinion of Washington, might have been concluded in 1779 in- stead of 1783, had the best counsels been followed by Congress and the States, it will be remembered, lasted about eight years, from its commencement, in 1775, to the peace of 1783 ; buta considerable part of the time was characterized by inactivity on both sides. The seat of war, commencing in the Kastern States, was transferred to the Middle States, and concluded in those of the South. Mr. Lossing, in his “ Field Book of the Revolution,” has preserved the most valuable velics and records of ‘the times that tried men’s souls.” CELEBRATION IN THE METROPOLIS.

His wife having dieda short time before, his daughter wrote him, urgently requesting him to d the remainder of his days with her. In compliance with her re- quest he left Kentucky, taking a boat to.Cincin- nati. Some wretched scoundrel succeeded in ab- stracting all his money, his papers, and a part of his clothing, while on board the boat. At Cincinnati a kind hearted stranger supplied him with an overcoat and paid his fare to Columbug, where he expected to meet ao fellows soldicr, But at Columbus he learned that bis companion had been carried to the to» He then applied to the conductor who gave hima .’tee pass to Cleveland and directed him to call on the aur. "“rities for aid. He made his application, and they requested to see his Penasco papers. He told them that he bad been robbed of them, When they offered him a ticket to the almshouse. Indig- nant, the old soldier turned upon his heel with the remark that he had “fought (co many battles in the Revolution to die in a poorhouse;” and going back tothe depot, he was passed free over the road to padi a and from there on the Manefield road to ndusky. During his short stay here he related many inter esting anecdotes of the Revolution. I asked him if he knew “ Mad Anthony ?” (the name given by the soldiers to General Wayne.) ‘,I should think I ought to,” he replied, “for he knocked me down once.” I bad a splendid black horse—one that I had brought over from England. Many a night have I slept on the ground, while he would take his stand over me, and there remain all night as docile as a kitten ; but when the smell of gunpowder reached his nostrils it seemed to transform him into a perfect fury. But time and service had not failed to leave their impress upon him; and, although he had grown in a measore useless, there was an affection existing between us that would not allow me to see him suffer, and so I oe him fat and sleek. After dividing my portion with him one day, while I was outon a el excursion, the butcher came to Mad Anthony to inform him that they were entirely out of meat, with no prospects of any through the day. Wayne told him to killand dress one of the best conditioned horses in the camp. “On my return,my mesemate informed me that the butcher had killed and dressed my horse. I snatched. my naked sword, and, after satisfying myself that my favorite’s blood had been shed, started for the butcher's tent, determined to avenge his death. The butcher saw me coming and fled to Wayne's tent, where he took shelter. When I reached it Mad Anthony stood at the door. He asked me what I wanted, I told him the butcher. He ordered me to put my sword up and return. I refused, and at- tempted to pass him, wheu he straightway knocked me Rowe: Gathering myself up, I returned to the tent and wept.” After giving a vivid description of the battle of the Cowpens, he described a hand to hand conflict with a Briich officer. .Afver several thrusts and parys, his (McDonald's) sword broke in the middle. He snatched the pistol from his holster, while the officer, following up his advantage, gave him a thrust in the eye, but fortuvately not deep enough to reach the brain. Here the old veteran came toa halt in his story. When asked bow the conflict finally ended, he replied :—“I do not hke to say much about it, as it would eeem like boasting, but I shot him.” Ve attrputed the success of the American forces | at the taking of Burgoyne more to Benedict Arnold to General Gates. “Arnold,” said he, * fmoht Lie atiger. Mounted on an o--~ ahs f i +, ~surmous glossy black charger, whozé mane and tau ocn!d be seen glancing through the smoke of the fight, he seemed to be everywhere present, and the life of the battle. At cne ‘ime a small party of British had wheeled a large canson up ona little eminence which commayded the American forces. One tnurderous discharge had told but teo well upon the American division, when Arnold gave the word to charge. Leading on his men, and closely followed by McDonald, Arnold reached the piece just as the match was being ne iy plied. Springing his enormous charger complete: over the gun lengthwise, and striking off the hand of the gunner at a blow, he sprung from his horse, and scizing the gun witha giant rue. wheeled it around, and applying the match, rent its death- ae volley into the ranks of the retreating ritish.” There and many other anecdotes were related with an intelligence and power of description that would haye done honor to the historian. The old man, al- though tulkative, was perfectly free from childish- ness; and I thought while I bid him farewel!, as he took the beat for Buffalo, that I had enjoyed a treat such as no author of history could give. J had seen a living link connecting the part with the past— one who had been perfectly familiar with all the gcenes of the Revolution. Ee may he live and re- tain bis strength and vivacity—for after him, we ne’er shall see his like again.

In perusing your paper of to-day I notice that you couple my name with others as having bolted or dodged the resolations adopted by the House of As- sembly of this State, on Thursday evening last, en- dorsing President Pierce's inaugural address. T pre- sume this charge is based upon the: fulse and per- verted representations ¢f your Albany correspondent, or the article contained in the Albany Argus of Friday morning last. Trespectfully, but decidedly, pronounce the accusa- tion, so far as it relates to myself, utterly untrue, and am conscious it does equal injustice to others, in every particular. I left Albany on Wednesday even- ing, without any knowledge that the resolutions were to be called ap during by Beets and, when acted upen, was actually two hundred miles distant from the capital. Had I been present on that occa sion, I should bave voted with the majority, al- though the peculiar phraseology of the resoln- tions, end the manner in which they were introduced and enforced, show evidently that they originated in bad taste and wore motives on the part of the disap ointed cancilate for the Speakership. Every hones temocrat would unite in giving his sanction to the Baltimore platform, or the principles shadowed forth in the inaugural address; but the resolutions might ave been equally complete without being invidions, or framed with the covert design to destroy and di- vide the democratic party. In the political slang of Albany, every democrat who refuses to vote on all occasions, with the small lement of the coalition, is denominated a r; but permit me, in conclusion, to say that per, or endorsed the Buffalo plat- barnburne I never belonged to the free soil the candidates or principles of form. Yours respectfully, Josrrn Rose, Third Assembly District. New York, July 3, 1853.

Both companies will be without any ap- paratus, and be dressed in private citizens clothes, with the exception that the Baltimore visiters will wear their fatigue caps. On the afternoon of the fame day the two companies will try the Baltimore engine in West Broadway, near Riley's Hotel, where there is aliberty pole. Forthis purpose it will be re- quisite to get made in the course of the day, if a workman can be obtained, a metal connector to join the hose of Manhattan engine to that of the itimore engine. ‘This latter, as noticed in yester- day’s account of the torchlight procession, is a splen- did engine; it-was built Py Mecano Baltimore, and is ornamented with two fine Mean a , on one side a portrait of General Washington, with his hond upon his charger,and on the other a portrait of a cavalier of the time of Queen Elizabeth, evidently intended for Lord Baltimore, who was the first Governor of Maryland, and from whom the Monumental City derives its name. For the evening, two invitations have been received, but it is not yet settled which will be accepted, one from the Corporation, to wit- ness the fireworks in the City Hall Park, and another to go on 8 night excursion up the Hudson river. bn Tuesday morning they will go on an excursion to Flushing, proceedin; by the steamboat Island City, which will leave the foot of Fulton street, on the East mver,at9 A.M. In the evening they will visit Niblo’s or some other theatre. On Wednesday they will te a visitto ign Bridge, Randall's Island, Blackwell's Island, and other places of note on their way. Refreshments will be pro- vided at High Bridge, and likewise at Starr's Five Mile House. In the evening they will go to the Durleg the past week the workmen seem to have redoubled their exertions, the dome ig rapidly ap- Proaching completion, and the decorations of the ceilings ard railings, &c., will be finished im two weeks at the utmpst. The bronzing of the exterior requires but a few days to complete ; and the additional structure im the rear, for the working and stationary machinery, it is ex- pected, will be ready nearly a week before the opening of the exhibition, This building will extend the whole length or ibe rear, from Fortieth to Forty. second streets, and, with the exception of » portion of the ond story, which fs reeerved for a gallery of paintings, wili be mainly occupied by the machinery. The boiler will be placed im a brick building in proeess of erection om the north side of Fortieth street, from which the steam will be convey- edin pipes or conductors running uuder ground. The gallery designed for the paintings will be admirably adapted for the purpose, and will, we have no doubt, form ore of the most attractive features of the whole ex- hibition. It will be four hundred and fifty feet in length, by trenty-cne in width, and the light will be #0 dis- posed as to give the beat effect to the painticgs, A part of the first story, we should state, has been set apart for @ refreshment saloon, which will be fitted upin a style corresponding with the general appearance of the building. Among the many thousands of beautiful specimens of human inventions which will be exhibited, the following in particularly deserving of notice:—One full battery, ‘United States service pattern, executed with such per- fection thst it must prove a most terrible engine of de- struction, This battery consists of one six.pound gun- carriage, one caisson, one battery wagon, and one travel- ling forge, with all its necessary implements, equipments, and stores, completed for se:vice in the field, either for light or heavy artillery; it was brought yesterday to the Crystal Palace, having been forwarded by Major John Syrmingtos, U.S.A. It was made im the United States Watervliet Arsenal : the carriages are all from the beat specimens of Massachusetts oak, and are beautifully var- nished. There is alo a mountain howitzer carriage, with all ite implements, packs, saddles, and complete Larness ; the guns will be brought in » few days, and have been far- niehed by Mr. James T.
