Yereary has been the signal tor a greater display How thé Glorious Fourth Is io Be Celebrated in the City. The Military, the Fireworks, the Music and the Clubs to Turn Out in Force, A DAY OF GENERAL REJOICING. ‘Where, When and How the Public Cel- ebration Is to Take Place. ‘The ninety-sixth anniversary of American Inde- pendence, judging from the preparations that are Deing made on all sides, will be celebrated to-day throughout the Union in a manner beftting the ~ greatness of the national occasion. In this city especially the celebration, military and civic, will De on a grand scale. Before the late war of the rebellion the glorious Fourth was a sacred day with every man, woman ‘and child who had any claims to the name of Amer- fean. The great cities vied with one another in ‘their efforts to do honor to the anniversary, and even between the various States there existed A RIVALRY OF PATRIOTISM, each endeavoring to show the greatest resnect for the day and to give the greatest possible ¢clat to the occasion. Although the Fourth was celebrated ™ all the loyal States with fervor, the actualities of the war itself made the people somewhat neglect- fal of the customs of the past that were supposed to be irrefragably linked with the proper observ- ance of the day. Asthe war wore on from year to year not a few of the partisan news- papers of the day, in the heat of their one-sided patriotism, deemed it their bounden auty to “warn” the people ‘that they were fast losing their respect for things that were once their pride and their glory; thet the name of Washington and the great anniversary of their dayof deliverance from bondage were being fast forgotten; the name of the Father of his Country no longer calling forth the enthusiasm of the olden time, the “glorious Fourth” being cele brated with a want of fervor that betokened “an slarming change in the popular heart.” But there never was any occasion for any such warning. The great popular heart was too much occupied in DEFENDING THE UNION against her enemies, in strengthening the hands of the people’s leaders in prosecuting the war unflinch- blood for the salvation of the country, to occupy even the glorious Fourth. The day never came round, however, during the war that it was not done honor to, if not with the same outward show, ‘the eame noise and fuss of other years, at least ‘with as much true, popular love of the great event it commemorated as ever. Indeed, its yearly re- currence filled the people with a new courage, a new determination to overcome those who would fain have destroyed the national fabric of the Joundation of which the day is ‘A MONUMENT AND MEMORIAL, The war once brought to a successful issue the patriotism of the people that had been extended in ‘Ways more substantial than in the explosion of harmless crackers and the discharging of rockets, burst out afresh when the day came about, and for the past seven years each recurrence ofthe annt- than ever of popular love patriotic enthusiasm and of for the memories which its celebration revives. And thus will it ever be. The Fourth of July is too full of glorious remembrances for the people ever to Jet it pass by unsung and unhonored. It is to every Dative American and to every adopted citizen a | @ay of thanksgiving and rejoicing, the commemora- tion of a perio: in the history of the country which no true patriot can look back to with other than feclings of LOVE AND DFVOTION— of love for the great men who won for us the free- dom we now enjoy, of devotion to the welfare and Soterests of the nation brought to life, and the en joyment of liberty by their toiis and battles with ‘their oppressors, THE CITY CELEBRATION, New York city is proverbiat for the way she does everything she undertakes to do on a grand scale, and the Fourth of July celebration has always been one of her it weaknesses. No city in the Union, not even excepting pretentious little Phila- deiphia—which claims to possess 8o much of the spirit of the Fathers as well a8 s0 many of their Felic8—outdoes her in the way she makes the event with importance. She throws about it every- thing that can tend to arouse the triotism Of the most siuggish, and the people themselves enter into the sport of the annual occasion with anch a zest aud veal that patiiots from afar away in otner cities in the Union are attracted to Gotham ‘ou the Fourth, if not to get aroused intosomething Mke a patriotic glow themselves, at least to Join in the generai hurrah for patriotic company’s Bake. ‘This year’s celebration will be no exception tu the gencral rule, and our country cousins who e@uuually make pilgrimage to the Gotham shrine on Independence Jay will not be disappointed 1, they come to be pleased and patriotic at the same time. Ana all who wish to be patriotic can be so with very Nittle expense to themselves, for the city authorities bave on all that they possibly could do togive the prop! A RICH TREAT, meet for enthusiasm, in the way of fireworks, mili tary partes and music. Indeed, the flreworks tus year are to be on a grander acale than for many years past, and the up-in-the-air Cusplay will ve i | that people who have no particular liking for @ crush in the crowds which will be certain to ‘throng the parks and eqnuares may be able to en- {ey @ Sight from their house-tops. Heretofore he Managers ot the fireworks on the Fourth have always made a great mistake in making the display consist chicfy of fixed pieces—that 1s, 0. stationary {abieaux, which compelled one to trust himself to the tender mercies of a sometimes over-patriotic crowd to witness the fireworks at all. To be sure Yockets were discharged from various points ip the city, but not to any great extent. The change of tactics this year, making the uisplay consist chieny Otup-iv-tho-air worka, will theretore he exceedingly atifylng to thone who cannot or will not leave | heir own homes on the nigiit of the Fourth, If the pivu of the gentlemen who have arranged ali the ee do not “gang a-giey” the display will ¢ a magnificent one. in order that everybody muy know just what he or she can expect in the Way of a patriotic celebration, the following pro- gramme ts icrewith appended.

Sullivan for a very interesting manuscript which he has placed in our hands for examination, and which gives in de- tail the minutes of several annual meetings of a St. Tammany Society, formed by the officers of the Jersey line during the Revolutionary war, The book is in the handwriting of Dr. Ebenezer Elmer, Surgeon of the Second regiment of the New Jersey Continental troops and the last survivor of the oMicers of that line, Dr. Eimer was secretary and treasurer of the society, aud seems to have taken great care in recording the minutes, ‘Thongh nearly a century has passed since the notes were written they appear to-day distinct, and are easily read, The paper used is of coarse quality, and, like the ink, has grown gray by age. The book has been preserved in the family of Dr. Elmer, and his son, Mr. L. Q. C, Elmer, has sent it to Grand Sachem Schell, in order that it may be placed among the records of the Tammany Socicty in New York, Mr. Elmer has also sent the seal, a large brass seal, of the New Jersey Society, a cnt of which 1s given herewith. The device is a group of Indians on one side and white men on the other meeting council fire, and lettered at the top ‘St. Tammany,” and the Latin words “Evect Monumentum. Ere. Perintus.” The engraving and other work of the seal is of a superior kind, and was possibly executed in Eu- rope.

TAMMANY IN NEW JERSEY, Though the first page of the manuscript book is missing, and we are left without positive informa- tion a to the date of the meeting, it would appear to have taken place on the first of May, 1778— eleven years before the organization of the Tam- many Society or Columbian Order in New York, At this time the condition of the American army at Valley Forge was one of great peril and suffering, A British force was detuched from the royal army in Pennsylvania, and landed at Salem. It laid that part of New Jersey waste. Another force was detached in two columns from New York, and ascended the North River ou either bank. It was under the command of Lord Cornwallig and Royenanen, and the object was to rage an euipeine the Jersey troops, which were scat- tered small parties guarding the banks of the river. Aregiment of eet {Gatonal > lois) was overtaken and almost entirely destroye However, three days afterward Colonel Richard Butler, assisted by Major Lee with part of his h fell in with a Pode of chasseurs and 200 yager under Captain Donop. The whole force was either killed or taken prisoners.

In this respect it is of value and entitled to be regarded as authority in the government and celebrations of the society. It will be noticed in the extracts given below that at the several mectings held from 1778 to 1783 by the oMcers of the Jersey line no such titles as Sachem, Sagamore and Wiskinskie were known. it was six years after (1789) that the Tammany Society was instituted in this city. Various societies had ex- isted before and during the Revolution in different So many organizations had been formed under the names of St, Georges.St. An- drews and §t. Davids, all of which breathed fhe most fervent loyalty to. eat Britain, that it was thought too great a distinction for them to mo- nopolize all the saints in the calendar, and an American saint was discovered, thus placing Americans on a level with British loyalists, BARLY REMINISCENCES, The discussion upon the adoption of the fedecal constitution in this State had evoived two distinct parties. Onc was in favor of consolidation, the other feared an attempt to destroy the sovereignty of the States. After the adoption of the constitu- tion the New York Tammany Society numbered among its first members moderate men of both the federal and anti-federai parties, who, while agree- ing to that instrument, yet cherished a most de- voted attachment to American principles al the doctrine of State rights. It was not, however, commenced a8 a party institutfon. That idea docs not appear distinctiy recognized uniil the time of Jefferson. Before that it was composed of men of both political parties, and was intended, as | “to connect in indiasoluble bonds of friendship | Amertcan brethren of known attachment to the po- Hitical rights of human nature and the liberties of ry.” It also incorporated a benevolent | i Soclety, and to carry out fully the Amer: principle of its founders, aa weil | as lo show its contempt for those societics aping foreign manners, it introduced aboriginal forms and ceremonies, divided the year into seasons ot | blussoms, fruits and snows, and the seasons into | moons.
