Tlie Anniversary of our Independence Was
celebrated by a number of gentlemen, at a
point ofland situated onfhe western branch
of the Patapsco, nearly surrounded by the
water, and commanding a view at once ex-
• tehsive.and'picturesque.
The spot.w-.as judiciously selected, and
the company composed of gentlemen of dif-
ferent political opinions ; but minor conside-
rations were not permitted to disturb .the
well-tempered hilarity which prevailed thro'-
, oat.the day. The recent insult on our flag
, was "felt, a> Americans, on-such, aa occasion,
ought to fee! ; but the consequences', which
in all probability it will eventually lead to,
though deprecated, were not dreaded.
On that subject there was but one senti-
ment, and thai, we are convinced, reign
Maine to Georgia : " War before dishonor."
