“•Pat.”
On Thursday, the 29th ult., as our traders
know, what ia called <( a Mammoth Festival”
came off, at Jones’ Wood, New York, in aid
of the families of the members of the gallant
Sixty-ninth Regiment who fell at Bull Run.
The gathering was largely hut not exclusively
Irish, and the orator of the day—who never
spoke more eloquently—was Thomas Francis
Meagher, who, as an officer in the Sixty-ninth,
had eminently distinguished himself at the
Battle of Bull Run. A portion of Captain
Meagher’s speech we published a few-days
ago.
- After the powerful appeal in prose, by Cap
tain Meagher, a poem entitled « Pat,” was
read by the author—Mr. Henry Morford, a
New York editor, whose volume (« Rhymes
of Twenty Years,” published two years ago),
stamps 'him as a poet of considerable ability.
Mr. Morford's Irish yerses are published in
the journal he conducts, where they occupy
more than, two columns —and, indeed, the
only serious fault in the poem is its length.
We shall select such portions of this composi
* tion mu have inost : 'pleased ourselves, .and.are
'wiU thank us.
'''”MS.Morford, who is .American by
Cation, and. feeling,, thus Xays claim tO-; the
yet higher privilege of recognizing in citizen
ship and patriotism a yet higher rank than can
be conferred by mere Nationality:
Not an Irishman I, and yet what is the odds
If a man’s born on one or another of sods ?
One nation are wa—or we ought to be one,
And vre wi/l be again when the struggle is done 1
One nation in need and one nation in heart,
That no traitor on earth shall have power to part!
So if true men are round me, our blood is the same,
No matter at all for the source whence it came;
Be we Irishmen, Ssotchmen, or Frenchmen, or
Poles,
And though wide be the sea ’tween our countries
that rolls—
True Americans now. when we join heart and hand
For the glory and honor and life ef the land!
When the war-cry was sounded, a few weeks ago,
And we heard that old Sumpter lay battered and ■
low,
Did we stop to inquire what the birth of the man
Through whose veins the hot pulses of liberty ran ?
Did we ask of his politics, station, or creed, ‘
When the country was lying in danger and need ?
No! all true men were brothers; all false ones
were foes,
And we’ll hold them the same while yon broad
river flows!
On the top of a church, of strict Puritan stock,
That had bad its foundation in old Plymouth Rock,
Showed the stars and the stripes; but that Ter;
same hour
They waved from the top of a Catholic tower;
And the swart Irish cartman stood still in the
street
His new brother, the German, in friendship to
meet;
And the native. American blended with both
The fervor and truth of his patriot oath!
This is very much in the Catholic spirit of
Moore’s—
■‘Shall I ask the brave soldier who fights by my
side,
In the cause of mankind, if our creeds agree?”
Mr. Moftord then declares that the Irishman
can do four things to perfection:
The world has its verdict unanimous quite—
That Pat can male love, blunder, tabor and fight!
and proceeds to give proofs of his allegation.
First, as touching the-tender passion:
Can he make love ?■ The answer appealing to him,
Is the graphic inquiry of “ Can a duck swim ?"
Or. to show you his art with remarkable ease—
“ Docs a jolly old rat know his way to a cheeso?”
If he can’t bother husbands half out of their lives
And bring the red blush to the cheeks of their
wives—
If he can't put the blarney on widow or maid,
You need look for no other that’s up to the trade!
Ask some lass who here shows us her ruddy brown
cheeks,
“ Can Paddy make love ?” and just hear what she
speaks:
“ Arrah, darlint! I hope that the lorin’s no sin!—
When he tries the comethrr we’ve got to give in!
Our hearts he will steal, and then Isn’t it best,
When the heart has gone off, just to give him the
jest ?” - -
Yes, through sorrow and poverty —trial and
shame,
The heart of old Erin is beating the same.
The fire may be turf and the hut may be logs,
In the wilds of the West or the bleak Irish bogs,—
If there’s routh f?l in the kitchen or want in the pot
The warmth of the lover is seldom forgot;
And the children that spring from love’s honest
embrace
Have the marks of two parents —the fire of their
race.
Next, several examples of Irish bull-making
are given, but these, sooth to say, are only
old Joe Miller ran into rhyme. The concluding
stanza under this head is truthful and telling:
Well, let Paddy blunder —his blunders are few,
That deliberate harm to his fellow would do !
He may blunder to mischief, and even to sin,
When the reason is out and tho whisky is in;
But there’s little of malice lies lurking behind.
For his heart on the right side you’ll commonly
find;
And the Irishman, here, has the sense to avoid
That big blunder—the treason of Davis and Floyd!
After love-making and bull-making, work
comes handiest to an Irishman:
Can Pat wori ? ask our railroads, in East and in
West!
Our canals, with the trade of a world on their
breast!
Our great stores for rich commefte, whose mortar
and stone
Me has handled so close they are almost his own!
Ask the tunnels through rocks, and tho wolls in the
earth.
And whatever besides has laborious worth!
They wiU tell you Pat works with his heart and his
hand —
The true “ bone and sinew” of every land!
But, if more proof is wanted, pray let us refer
To one work that has lately excited a stir.
Although field- engin coring’s tho pride of the
French,
The New York Sixty-ninth is their mate in a
trench;
And who wants to see work from an Irishman’s
hands—
Let him look at the sacred Virginian sands,
Where proud and defiant Fort Corcoran etandg!
No sun is so hot, and no wind is so cold
As to conquer Pat’s fancy for turning tho mould;
No labor so hard, upon furrow or roof, #
But his broad shoulders bear it when brought to the
proof;
No wave is so rough but he rides it with glee—
The wheel-horse of labor by land and by sea 1
Can Pat fight ? He can love, he can rollick and
toil.
Is there cowardice eoming his laurels to spoil ?
Let history tell us the deeds he has done,
In twelve eenturies of fighting, from fattier to son!
The red-handed victors of fiold.upon field;
The last to the power of England to yield;
The raee that could number a Brian Boroihme,
Who on Clontart’s red field fought for kingdom and
home, —
The Butler, the Desmond, O’Bryan, McCool,
Ever ready in arms and impatient of rule,
Of these it can toll, and what more is required
To give us the answer that may be desired.
If Pat’s veins with the fierce joy of battle are
fired?
In the stanza last quoted we have full evi
dence, even had he not frankly confessed it at
starting, that Mr. Morford is not an Irishman.
If he were, he would have known that
Boroihme, pronounced Boroo, cannot stand
nmster as a rhyme to home. The gallantry of
the Irish Brigade at Rosbach, M&lpl&quet, and
Fontenoy, is next alluded to—then a compli
ment is paid to Irish Montgomery, whose
monument is in New York—next, McMahon
is named, and we are told, with considerable
poetic exaggeration, that
One-half the best captains of Nappy the Third,
Hare the brogue on the tongue and the Celt in the
sword!
Lastly, while it is hinted that Irish muscle
and blood are diminishing in the British army,
the poet asks;
Is it dying out here ? Is Pat losing his vim ?
Growing Fainter of spirit or weaker of limb ?
Ask that chivalrous star of the Mexican fields—
Ccrro Gordo’s best hero—our own gallant Shields!
Ask the thirty-five hundred who wanted to go
■When Coreoran called for a thousand or so!
Ask the whole Sixty-ninth if they’re ready to own
That the old Irish blood its best valor has shown!
Did Pat fight at Bull Run? Mr. Russell says
“no.
And what Mr. Russell says ought to be so —
Mr. Russell, who scribbles small squibs for the
And whitewashes Jeff Davis’ treasons and crimes.
Mr. Rußsell would know, it is perfectly clear,
If he had not kept quietly back in the rear,
Till his spunk narrowed down to the wing of a
midge,
And he struck a bee-line for the end of Long
Bridge!
There are those who believe Mr. Russell oawise—
That he’s merely a fool, or most palpably lies!
There are those who believe that Bull Run fully
felt '
The desperate courage and vim of the Celt—
That where Coreoran surrendered and Hagerty
died,
There was somebody Imrt on the opposite side!
Mr. Russell may see, if he lives long enough,
Some more tangible proofs of Hibernian stuff;,
Just over the Channel some daymay be seen
A few thousand men with a banner of gTeen,
Fighting battles for somebody else than the
Queen!
Let him get on his spectacles nicely and straight
He shall see Paddy yet, if he only will wait!
Has Fat finished bis fight for the Union and laws?
Hoe he nothing yet left for the good of the cause T
Ask MeCunn’s Thirty-seventh if they will turn
f»ek
While a sword’s left to strike or a rifle to crack ?
Ask thewH- Sixty-ninth just to say where they
are:
They will tell you, with shouts that sound ringing
afar,
They are going to Richmond with Nugent and
Meagher !
And why should they not? Old St. Patrick, they
say,
Drove the snakes oat of Ireland one fine summer’s
day.
Secession snakes crawl on the old “sacred soil,"
That would make a whole nation their victim and
spoil!
They must be rooted out—by no hearts that are
faint.,
By no bands that are feeble—and Pat is the
Saint!
Mr. Morford winds up a composition of great
merit, with the following stanzas:
Pat is tried on .four counts, and triumphant on
four,
So the man who has finished should add nothing
more.
But Pat’s brothers in fight for the Union have
died.
Leaving- helpless their dear ones of love and of
pride.
Some help' in their pockets and purses to lay
We nave met, and are speaking and singing to
day!
Let the liberal heart give its mite to their aid,
And. thUjtgreen with the red, white, and blue be
‘ afcrayed,
While tßi strong hands for Union draw trigger and
blade,
Till do black curse, Secession, in ruin is laid,
Jind the-haetner ofistars to the Gulfiis displayed f
This poem was read to an assemblage of
60,000 persons, and we can well believe that
the author, who recites admirably, and knows
how to use a magnificent voice, was heard by
a considerable number of this vast assembly.
•His poem, it must be confessed, was “ Pat ”
to its purpose.

surgeon dc-prist, the early friend of Thomas
Moore, who is mentioned repeatedly in the
poet’s Journal and Correspondence, so mise
rably edited by Lord John Russell. It ap
pears-that Edward Hudson was bom in the
county of Wexford, Ireland, in 1772. He was
educated by his cousin and namesake, the
lending dentist in Dublin, who was the friend
of Curran, Yelvcrton, Egan, Shearcs, Bushc,
Plunket, Emmett, and others of that bright
brotherhood of talent and patriotism. At
Trinity College, Dublin, he was classmate and
friend of Thomas Moore. Mixed up in the
Rebellion of Ninety-eight, Hudson-was impri
soned for four years at Fort George, in Scot
land, (where, by the way, he practised his
profession, with no small gain,) and on his
liberation, after the peace of Amiens, in 1802,
came to Philadelphia, where the late Dr. Gar
dette kindly took him by the hand. He mar
ried the daughter of Mr. Patrick Byrne, a rich
stationer, and quitted his business, for attime,
to enter into partnership with him. Resuming
it, he became partner in a brewery, which
failed; blit Dr. Hudson paid every farthing he
owed, and with interest. When he died, in
January, 183$, aged sixty-one years, he was
realizing a handsome competence, and had ob
tained the respect and regard of most of the
leading persons of intelligence, education, and
wealth in Philadelphia. When Moore was in
America, in 1801, ho visited Philadelphia ex
prcsslv to meet his old college friend.

of the Episcopal Church of this State should

none but a loyal clergyman should be elevated
to the Episcopate. lam as much opposed to
interfering with the mere political opinions of
clergymen as any other man, biit this is a mat

which every clergyman of the Episcopal
Church has solemnly promised to uphold and
protect. It is a Bible doctrine, and there is
not a single bishop, priest, or deacon aiding
Secession, here Or elsewhere, who has not in
effect committed the direct crime of perjury!
The bishops of this Church take an oath, at
their consecration, in these words: “In the
name of God, Amen! I, , clioseu bishop
of the Protestant Episcopal Church in- ,do
promise conformity and obedience to the dec
trine, discipline, and worship of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United States of
America. So help me God, through Jesus
Christ.” The obligation of fidelity is to the
“Protestant Episcopal Church in the United
States of America, and not in the rebellious
and bastard Government of the so-called Con
federate States of America. Let the loyal
Episcopalians see io it that no disloyal clergy
man from any quarter is elected Assistant
Bishop of the Frufestant Episcopal Church in
the diocese of Pcnifylvania. Let the delegates

type, and they will do right in the premises.
A clergyman who Wen reluctantly reads the
beautiful prayers of this eminent prelate for
our country and its sacred cause cannot wear

all such withdraw to a section where bishops,

ST. PETER’S CHURCH.
HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE PARISH;
RELIGIOUS EXERCISES Y ESTERDAY.
SERMON DY RIGHT REV. BISHOP' WE L-AHCEVy
OF WESTERS HEW YORK.
COMMUyiOIT CEREMOSIBS, Oca.
The. solemn religious services attending the
observance of the one hundredth anniversary
of the opening of St. Peter's Protestant Epis
copal Church, corner of Third and Pine streets,
yesterday, will constitute a memorable epoch in
the history of that congregation—a congregation,
we may say, which numbers among it 3 membership
a larger proportion of the elite, wealth, and an
cient respectability of our city than, perhaps, any
other in Philadelphia. The day, although slightly
overcast with clouds in the morning, was auspicious
for the occasion, and was ushered in to the chiming
music of St. Peter’s bells.
The following is a brief epitome of the
HISTORY OP ST. PETER'S CHURCH,
St. Peter’s Church was erected at the suggestion
and through the influence of several members of
Christ Church, (then the only Episcopal Church in
Philadelphia,) resident in that part of the city
where the church stands. It was dedicated in 1761.
At that time the Kev. Robert Jenney, LL. D., was
rector of Christ Church, to which St. Peter’s was
united under the same rectorship as part of the
same corporation, which thenceforth became the
United Churches of Christ Church and St. Peter’s.
Mr. Jenney was advanced in life, and in a feeble
state of health. The Rev. William Surgeon and
the Rev. Jacob Duche were the assistant ministers.
Upon the death of Dr. Jenney, in 1762, the
church remained fer some time without a rector,
sustained by the ministrations of other clergy. The
choice ultimately fell upon Dr. Richard Peters, who
held the rectorship until 1775, when he resigned,
and was succeeded by the Rev. Jacob Duche, the
Bev. Thomas Coombs and the Rev. William White
(afterwards Bishop of Pennsylvania) being the as
sistant ministers, both having been chosen in 1772.
The events of the Revolution of 1776 dispersed
those clergy who adopted views adverse to the De
claration of Independence, as Secession is dispersing
certain lukewarm and disloyal ministers now. Both
Mr. Duche and Mr. Coombs loft the country in
that year, and the Rev. William White was ap
pointed to the rectorship of St. Peter’s, which he
accepted, with the express understanding that, in
case Mr. Duche should return, he might be at
liberty to surrender tbe parish to his predecessor.
Mr. Coombs never returned, and although Mr.
Duche subsequently resided In this country, it was
under circumstances which physically incapacitated
him for resuming ministerial duties.
From 1776 to 1780, with the exception of a brief
interruption, Dr. White continued to officiate
without assistance, alternately in the morning In
one church, find in the afternoon in the other.
In the last-named year, the Rev. Robert Black
well was elected assistant minister. In 1787, Dr.
White went to England, and was consecrated
Bishop of the State of Pennsylvania in that- year,
continuing his connection with the parish as rector.
In the same year the Rev. Joseph Bond was ap
pointed an assistant minister, and resigned in 1701,
The Bgt. James Abercrombie was chosen an assist
ant minister in 1704. In 1800, St. James' Church,
in North Seventh street, was erected under the di
rection of the vestry of St. Peter’s, and connected
with the corporation, which thenceforth consisted of
the united churches of Christ Church, St. Peter’s,
and St. James.
In 1811, the Rer, Dr, Blackwell having resigned
on account of advanced age, the Rev. Jackson
Kemper was chosen an assistant minister. In 1815
the Rev. James Milnor was appointed in his stead,
which office he resigned upon being called, in 1817,
to the rectorship of St. George-s Church, New
York, now In charge of the Rev. Dr. Tyng. In
1823, after some previous temporary annual ap
pointments of various clergymen, the Rev. William
H. De Lancey was choEen an assistant minister.
He resigned this situation upon being elected pro
vost of the University of Pennsylvania, in 1828.
In 1829 St. James’ Church was amicably separated
from the united churches, and erected into a dis
tinct parish by an act of the Legislature, the Right
Rev. Bishop White, the former rector of the three
churches, retaining the same relation to the newly
erected parish.
In 1851 the Rev, Dr, Kemper resigned the as
sistant ministry of Christ Church and St. Peter’s,
to accept the charge of a parish in Connecticut.
In 1832 the remaining two churches were separated
into two distinct parishes, each under the same
rector and assistant minister. In the same year
the Rev. Dr. Abercrombie resigned bis connection
with Christ Church, as assistant minister, and in
the spring of 1833 extended the resignation to St.
Peter’s also, having spent nearly forty years in the
service of these churches. In the same year the
Kev. Wm. H. (now Bishop) De Lancey, being
unanimously invited to resume his connection with
this congregation, became the assistant minister,
and a vacancy occurring, he suceeodcd to its rector
ship in 1830, in which he continued two years,
being then, in IS3S, eleoted Bishop of Western
New York, having been consecrated to that office
the next year. He was soon succeeded in the
rectorship of St. Peter’s Church, by the Rev. Wm.
H. Odenheimer, D. D. The latter continued this
connection during twenty-one years, when, in 1859,
he was elected Bishop of the of New
Jersey. The present rector, Rev. George Leeds,
succeeded Dr. Odenheimer the following year,
having been elected to tho rectorship of St. Peter’s
some eighteen months age, in which capacity he
still continues to officiate. He is an excellent
preacher, and is much beloved by the members of
his parish.
THE CENTENNIAL SERVICES.
At the appointed hour for commencing, half past
ten o’clcck, the church, new draped in meurning
for the late Assistant Bishop of the Diocese, was
completely filled in every part, a large number of
persons having been obliged to stand in the vesti
bule aisles, and about the doors throughout the ser
vices. Nearly all the clergy of the Protestant
Episcopal Churches, in this city, and many others
from more remote sections of the diocese, besides a
number of distinguished church dignitaries from a
distance, were present, including Bishops Potter,
De Lancey, and Odenheimer. At a few minutes
past half past ten o’clock the clergy entered the
church in a body, dressed in their clerioal robes, and
passed up the centre aisle, in which they teok their
seats on both sides, facing the chancel. While they
were being seated the organ pealed forth its open
ing notes, after which the Rev. Dr. Dorr, of Christ
Church, read the morning prayer and the proper
Psalms, the 84th, 122 d, and 132 d being selected.
The following passages of Scripture were next read
as the lessons of the morning, by Rev. Dr. Morton!
Ist Kings, Bth chapter, 22—63, and Hebrews, loth,
19—27. The Litany was read by the Rev. Dr. Du
cachet, rector of St. Stephen’s. The following
prayer of thanksgiving, specially prepared for this
occasion by the Bishop of the Diocese, was then
read f by the present rector of tho church, Rer.
George Leeds:
“ Blessed be Thy name, O Lord, for that it hath
pleased Thee to have Thy habitation among the
sons of men, and to dwell in the midst of the assem
bly of the saints upon the earth. We praise Thee
that thou didst put it into the hearts of Thy ser
vants, our ihthers, to appropriate and devote this
House to Thy honor and worship, We thank Thoe
that through one hundred years Thou hast kept it
in safety, and art permitting us on this day once
more to assemble within its walls. Praised be Thy
name for the good examples and pious labors of all
those Thy servants, who have faithfully served
Thee as ministers or worshippers in this Sanctuary;
and grant, O Lord, that in this place, so long set
apart to Thy servioe, Thy holy name may continue
to bo worshipped in truth and purity through all
generations, through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Mr. Leeds also read the two beautiful and pa
triotic war prayers written for the use of this dio
cese by Bishop Potter.
The second and third verses of the twenty-first
selection of Psalms were then sung by the choir,
after which the office of the Holy Communion was
observed, the Collect, Epistle, and Gospel used
having been the same as in the office for the conse
cration of a church—the passages read being part
of the fifth Chapter of first Corinthians, and the
second chapter of John, beginning at the tbir
teenth verse.
The following anthem, sung at the opening of
the church in 1761, was then read by Mr. Leeds,
and rendered with great artistic skill by the choir:
“ I have surely built Thee an Houso to dwell
in, a settled place for Thee to abide in forever.”
“Butwill God indeed dwell on the earth? Be
hold, the heaven, and heaven of heavens, cannot
contain Thee; how much less this House that I
have builded?”
“ The Lord our God be with us, as He was with
our fathers: let Trim not leave ua nor forsake
US.”
“ That all the people of the earth may know that
the Lord is God, and that there is none else.”
sermon by- bishop de lancey. n. d,
The Bt. Rev. Bishop Do Lancey D. D., then en
tered the pulpit and announced as the text of his
discourse the following:
it The Lord our God be with ue, as He was with our
fathers; let Him not leave us, nor forsake us.
<> That ■He may incline our hearts unto Him, to walk
in aU His ways, and to keep Hiß commandments, and His
statutes, and His judgments, which He commanded our
fathers.”—! Kings, riil. 67,68.
One hundred years, said the preacher, had rolled
AW(ty Since the doors of this sanctuary were first
rolled open by a serious flock Neither Govern*
ment nor people had then yet learned, experi
mentally, that the churoh might exist in its full
tide of prosperity entirely Independent: of tho

people, not a voioe was Fsft—aU were silent in the
grave.
He desired to took at the way in which- the
prayer ef the tent had beoiworified in taooxpe
rience of this church,- and the' lessons to 1 bo drown
from it. The edifice, excepting* the' steeple; stood 1
to-day substantially as it was a 1 century ago. It
had been exempt fioin fire, the ulub; and 1 all other
destructive influences. Ho shaft of the'lightuing—
Which, in past days, had* been tamed- by one who
had doubtless worshipped* within- its-
ever spent its fury upon this building. The interior
arrangements remain, ho said,-entirely the pame—
almost the only remnant of the architecture in this
city of that early day; and from the same altar, at
which the communion was then about to be ad
ministered, their forefathers had 1 partaken of'thM#
eloquent symbols one hundred years ago. In fact,
the stained windows, the steeple,-and the noble
chime, which now embellished it, constituted'about
the only visible alterations which the church had
experienced.
But the language of the text hSd'been further
verified in the preservation and purity of Christian
doctrines which this church had witnessed. Here,
during this entire period, with the exception of few*
Sabbaths, priest and people had met statedly
and regularly for the worship of God, using a form *
essentially the same as that used by the church to
day, having the same expressive decalogue and im
pressive creed as when this temple was first dedi
cated to Rod. It had been preserved from ex
tempore effusions and irreverent details, and from
the suppression of God’s holy law. This Church
(the Protestant Episcopal), he said was by thou
sands regarded as the fountain from which the
stream of salvation flowed.
From the day on which this edifice was opened,
with the solemn words “ Thus with the Lord,"
God’s sacred volume had lain upon its pulpit, and
he prayed God that the day might never come
when it would be banished from it. So, also, the
proclamation of Divine Truth had been faithfully
continued. The great doctrines of the Gospel had
been proclaimed. He blessed God that his pulpit
had “kept the faith.”
With equal fidelity had this pulpit also been re
stricted to its legitimate object. The act of conse
cration, he said, was giving it to God, and meet
ings, therefore, of a mere secular character were
thenceforth desecrating. Hot that there was any
special holiness attached to the bricks and mortar
of a consecrated edifice, but there was a sanctity in
its object which should not he invaded. Of course,
unsullied purity could only be found in the New
Jerusalem above, and against private desecration,
to some extent, there was hence no safeguard on
tho earth.
The Bishop here recounted some of the Effect
ing and varied scenes which had been witnessed
within these walls. Hundreds had there been led
from the loose service of Satan to the service of
God.
But the text had not only been signally verified
in the preservation and uses of this church, but also
in the character of its foci:. The character of
the flock claimed to be in keeping with that of the
province at that day, which was then a sober, indus
trious, moral, and religious people. Among the
names enumerated by the speaker as numbered in
this congregation from its commencement, the Bin
neys, Ingersolls, Penns, Binghams, Peules, Powells,
Merediths, Beeds, Smiths, Hopkinsons, Sergeants,
Camacs, Philipses, Peters, Lewises, Swifts, Coxes,
Clarksons, Griffiths, Hardings, Leeds, and others
were mentionod with evident pride. Besides these,
the same parish had furnished some of
our most distinguished Congressmen, legis
lators, jurists, and men in the learned pro
fessions. Families to the third and fourth genera
tions, had successively occupied the same pews.
In allthe great movements of the Church in this
country, St. Peter’s had furnished a respectable
portion of the men and talent to which they were
entrusted.
For the last thirty-three years the treasurer of
the Episcopal Fund in this country had been a
parishioner of St. Peter’s, and in every department
of the State and the Church the latter had con
tributed its quota, down to the period of our pre
sent perils, from which he prayed that we might
speedily be delivered. In short, in every form, in
every direction, for every object in which the
Church hafl moved, St. Peter’s had always taken
an honorable and conspicuous part.
But again, the spiritual and religious character
of this congregation was also worthy of commenda
tion. They had been preserved from undue ex
citement, and radicalism of any kind. Infidelity
to the Word of God had found no access among
them. They had always been taught to regard the
faith of the Church as that “once delivered to
tho Saints.” Piety and liberality had marked their
history in a peculiar manner. They had put no
trust in mere outward marks of devotion, but their
lives had been signalized with deep, unobtrusive
piety,
An extract from a prayer offered at the ori
ginal consecration of this church was read by the
Bishop, in order to show how singularly its terms
had been complied with by a prayer-hearing God.
The historical division of the discourse embraced
in a large measure the points which we have given
above, with some interesting additional particulars,
however. Dr. White’s pastorship of this church
extended over a period of sixty-four years. After
the Battle of Brandywine, when the British entered
Philadelphia, the Congress then here assembled, re
moved to York and Lancaster, and Dr. White being
elected as its chaplain, temporarily left the parish of
St. Peter’s, returning in 1778, when the British en
tered New Y'ork. The character of Dr. White, as a.
pastor, minister, theologian, and patriot was largely
dwelt upon. The analysis of that distinguished
divine—alike eminent in every position he held—
was no less creditable to the judgment and skill
of the speaker, as a biographer, than it was just
and complimentary to his venerable subject. . It
was in this pulpit that Dr. White had preached his.
first sermon in America, and by a singular coinci
dence, it was in the same desk also that he preached,
his last, a brief outline of which was given, by the
Bishop, who was present at its delivery.
After the sermon, a collection wag taken up,
during which sundry appropriate passages of Scrip
ture were read by the Rev. Dr. Newton, rector of
St. Paul’s. A prayer for Christ’s Church militant
upon earth was then offered, and an exhortation,
fallowed by the residue of the communion services,
eoneluded the services of the day at a few minutes
before two o’clook P. M.

A VOICE FOE THE UNIOtf.
Eloquent Address of the Hon. Jos, iioit,
of Kentucky.
Mr. IL'lfcdelivered an address to the citizens ef
New York at .‘he Chamber of Commerce, on Tues
day. The fttlewing are passages of the eloquent
oration. He mi:
The power of* the Government can do much to
correct this evfl. ; But how much’more could be
done by the crushing power of public opinion,
branding as infamous, soeirfly and politically, dis
loyalty, wherever and whenever if u "encountered,
[ Applause.].
In your railroad cwa.on your steamboats, in your
thoroughfares, in every business; in every social
circle, disloyalty musl'M branded! (rod blhsted as a
leprous and a loathsome thing. {’Enthusiastic ap
plause.]’ When, fellow-citizens, you meet thee*
men, be it on ’change or in the social circle, and
they offer you their hands-,-look well at them, and i£
you have the* discernment that I have, you will see
that their hands are red with the blood of the brave
men —your kindred and' your friends, it may be—
who perished, and are perishing still, on the reeking
battle-fields of'the country. [Applause. ]. I know
that there are some men, few, it is true, who da
sincerely believe'that, the question of public honor
out of view; this Republic can be 1 -severed; that
peace can be patched up; and that the two Govern
ments can thereafter live on prosperously and
peacefully as before. No more* false*. or fatal
thought ever crept serpent-like into an'American
bosom. [Applause.] ■
If you will go to the cemetery of nations, and
lay. your ear to- the sepulchres of those young but
glorious and high-spirited nations thastharc pemhed
amid-the convulsions of civil strife, they will an
swer you, in accents of broken-heartedness, “It is
a delusion.” But, if you will not listen-to the
voice of the past, go to Mexico and South Ariierica,
and ask the inhabitants of those- bright l lands,
blessed with the finest climate on* earth, occupying
s soil of exhaustless fertility, and living amid
rivers and lakes and mountains full 'of grandeur
and inspiration, and they will lift up .their boWed
heads, and amid demoralization, poverty, and dis
honor, they will tell you it is a delusion’. (Loud
applause.] Fellow-citizens, I rejoice to "believe
that the spirit of loyalty at this time’dwells rich
and abundant in the popular heart of the North
and West. But Ido beseech you—you whohave a
deep stake in the present and in the fnture'of our
country, you men of culture, and of fortune, and
of moral power—l do implore you that you will by
nil means possible add yet to that power and to the
fervor of that loyalty.
What we need is patriotism, which rises fully to',
the comprehension of the actual Bnd awful perils ia
which our institutions are placed, and whioh is eager
to devote every power of body and mind and tor
tune to their deliverance —a patriotism 'Which, ob
literating all party lines—[loud hurrahs]—and en
tombing all party issues—says to the President of
the United States,” “Here are our lives and our
estates; use them freely, use them boldly, but use
them successfully; for, looking on the graves of
our fathers and on the cradles of our children, wo
have sworn that though all things else shall perish,
this country and Government snail live " [Loud
applause,] It is such a patriotism as that, and
such only, which will conduct you to victory. ‘I
rejoice to believe that that spirit has been every
where awakened throughout the loyal States. Tho
capitalists of the country have come nobly forward
[cheers] —and, risking all, hare exhibited agrandeur"
of devotion to the country which, while it will astonish
the people of Europe, has inspired the admiration and
gratitude of every true American heart, [Applause,]
If, with all our vast material resources; if, with
our known and acknowledged physical superiority
over the rebels; if, with our clamorous and profuse
avowals of devotion to j>ur institutions, we suf
fer that rebellion to triumph over us, I do verily
believe that the American nation would become a
stench in the nostrils of the world, and that an
American citizen would not be permitted to walk
the streets of a European capital without hav
ing the finger of scorn pointed at him. [Ap
plause.] Fellow-citizens, I would earnestly coun
sel forbearance and patience in regard to those
who are charged with the administration of
our Government. [Cheers.] Before criticising
their conduot we should remember that we
may not see all the field of action, and may not be
in a condition to judge, to appreciate the difficul
ties that are to be overcome. No man ean doubt
the courage or the loyalty of the President of the
United States—[loud, long, and enthusiastic eheers
for the President]—or his determination to suppress
this rebellion. To him, under the Constitution, the
popular voice has committed absolutely the fate ef
this Republic. His hands are emphatically your
hanfls, and in weakening him you weaken your
selves, and you weaken the struggling, country
which we are all striving to save. He. is at this mo
ment overwhelmed with mountains of responsibility
and of toil such as have rested on no public man in
our history, and he is fully entitled to all the sup
port and all the consolation which a generous and
warm-hearted patriotism can give him, [Ap
plause.]
Fellow-oitizens, amid all the discouragements
that surronnd us, I have still an unfaltering faith
in human progress, and in the capacity of man for
self-government. I believe that the blood which
the true lovers of our race have shed on more than
a thousand battle fields has borne fruit, and that that
fruit is the republic of the United States, [Cheers. [
It came forth on the world like the morning sun
from his chamber. Its pathway has been a path
way tot light and glory. It has brought blessings
upon its people in the brimming fullness with whioh
the rivers pour their waters into the sea. I oannet
admit to my bosom the crashing thought that, ia
the full tight of the Christian civilization of tha
nineteenth century, such a Government is fated to
perish beneath the swords of the guilty men wha
are now banded together for its overthrow. [A
voice, “Never.”] 1 cannot belief that twenty
millions of people, cultivated, loyal, courageous,
will ignominously suffer their institutions to be
overturned by ten millions, nearly half of whona
are helpless slaves, with, fetters on their, hands.
[Applause.] No page of history so dark and so hu
miliating as that has been written of any portion of.
the human family; and the American people had
better, far better, have never been born than that
they should live to have suoh a history written of
themselves. Let us, then, fellow-citizens, nerva
and rouse ourselves fully to this great work of duty.
If it is to be done well, it should be done quiokly.
If we would economize both blood and treasure, wo
should move promptly, we should moTO mightily.
At this- Tery moment, were] it possible to precipi
tate the whole physical force of the loyal States ou
the fields of. the South, it would be a measure not
only of wisdom but of. economy, and of humanity
also. [Applause.] Let us, then, have faith, and
hope, and courage, and all will yet- be well. [Ap
plause.]. Fellow-citizens, I feel that I may have
spoken to you to-night with more emphasis, and with
more earnestness ofsuggestion than I am privileged to
employ in your presence. [Voices —“No.”J If Ihava
done so, yon will forgivetho freedom, I know, at this
terrible conjuncture of. public affairs. If I had
more interest than you hare, if I had less in
terest than von have, in the tragic events and issues
to which I have referred, you might well distrust
me. ' But I have precisely thosamo. If this Union
be dismembered end the Government overturned,
the grave of. evory earthly hope will open atmy feet,
and it will open at yours-also. In the lives of fami
lies and of. nations there arise, from time to, time,
emergencies of. danger which press all their mem
bers into the same common condition; and whoa
the storm is raging at sea, and the laboring and
quivering vessel! shrieks out from everyjoint tha
agony of the straggle, all', who are on board, alike
the humblest sailor, and . the obscurest passenger,
may rightfnlly speak, on that great principle of na
ture whioh no human institution can modify and na
human destiny oan control—the right of self-preser
vation. Even so, amid the heavy aurrents.of this
national tragedy, I, who am hut an hnmbto citizen
of Giis distracted and bleeding country, hive ven
tured to lift up the voiee of counsel and entreaty La
your mist, and' L thank you most kindly for your
attention.
