Boston, March 11. Wednesday the 18th instant, a day sacred
to the liberties of America, being the anniversary of the
repeal of the Stamp-act, was celebrated with excessive joy,
and every token expressive of gratitude and supreme
satisfaction. The dawning sun was saluted with a thunder of
applause, bellowing from a number of cannon, and a regular
and beautiful parade, of the Sons of Liberty through the
great street of the town, with musick preceding a cannon,
adorned with the loyal flag waving about it; . . . [31 more
lines of description follow, concluding with this
statement:] throughout the town, musick and mirth,
gratulation and joy betrayed the exalted satisfaction which
took place in every breast on this thrice happy occasion.
