f m Appropriate Celebration We
are glad toscethat a spirit of charity is
. uppermost in the minds of those whose
party has recently been victorious in
New York. Instead of appropriating
large sums to be wasted inillunrnnalious,
bonfires, thcr fiing of cannon, and other
( noisy but useless ceremotiics,' the Whigs
of Philadelphia havtrjKasscd the following
noble rcsolutioiii halt. Transcript

of the city and county, without distinc

the United States would become neces

received at the Department of State!

no ground to hope for the abandonment
of a system so little in harmony with the
