pomp and parade. bells, bonfires, and illumina­tions!" During the early yrars of the republic the official celebration of Independence Day seems to have been a partisan affair, pre-emptecjjhy the political party in penjujer, though rival groups could and did hold ,thdr own partisan observances. It was ap­parently not until the dose of the War of 1812, in the after­glow of renewed national pride, that the Fourth of July became a truly national Holi­day.

TheiUnited States has cele­brated three sperial an­niversaries prior to the Bicen­tennial: the jubilee in 1$26; the centennial in 1876; and

' the sesquicentennial, in 1926. These observances were largely oriented toward the past, but the manner in which the actual cdebrations were carried out reflected current fashions and met the needs of Americans at the particular

, period in which the celebra-1 tion took place. Recognizing • this, Horatio Seymour, for-; mer governor of New York, in

offering advice on the publication of 1877 qonten-nial events in New York, recommended the ind usion of newspaper accou nts and local color.

The, jubilee of American in-""dependence had m a n y

curious and interesting as­pects. The year 1826 fojind John' Quincy Adams presi­dent., Eleven states had been added to the original thirteen, and from 1790 to 1820 {the population had more t&an doubled over 9 million per sons.

There was no offidal na­tional or< New York celebra-. tion in 1826. President Adams attended the jublice ob­servance in the national capital on July 4, Governor DeWitt Clinton of New York partiripated in the festivities in New York City. Cdebra­tions were local and the em­phasis j was on the Declara­tion of Independence and Ion honoring those, living and dead, • who had created the , new nation.

To many Americans in 1826 the Revolution was still a living memory. No general of­ficers j of the ( Continental Army were still alive, though some junior officers and other veterans of the conflict sur­vived jo partidpate in! the festivities. Conspicuous among the survivors of the Revolutionary generation in 1826 who livqd to share the fruits of thdr sacrifices w « e three signers of the Declara­tion: Thorn as Jefferson, 83; John Adams, 90; and Charles Carroll of Carrollton, 88. <
