Otto year ago, when the eons or Waithingten College surrounded a hallowed spot in thin lovely repository of the dead, and dedionted a shaft to the memory of so Alumnus sod Professor, dear to tunny heart, it was unanimously resolved to undertake the project, the completion of which has brought thin vast assembly together. That recolution was hut the stmetment of a purpoeo cherished in the beasts of the Alumni ever stare the venerable boeter'e hitt], On the -'9th day of January,' 1852, and which had been once or aloe a aubjest of formal negotiation with his EXeCiller, and only delayed in ito fulfillment by special circumstances. l'rompt and liberal cab ecriptiona were made by the Alumni, then and there convened, and a Committee, consisting, in addition to the speaker, of the Hon John II Ewing, Thomas 111'Kettnan, M It, George Hart, Esti , and Mr William IV h.

Ills nOY Mare than bee years elect the re mains of our venerable Preeident were removed from their first resting place, in the old burial ground, in the northern beetle,. of the town, to this-honored pleat, Tho same reason, which in duced the transfer, has contributed largely to the confidence awl spirit of the present move meat.

Happy in this trust, eatwitheianding the saddening recollection° of the ruin which broods ever eo many abodes of the dead, we commit this monument to the guardianthip of the corporation of the Washington Cemetery, and their successors In office, with the solemn charge to keep It faithfully, Bo that, in all time to come, it may express the emotion and tenure the purposed which governed in lie erection. I expees this confidence and deliver this charge, In view of the preciousnees of Dr. IlloConaugh y's reputation—and 1a the name of the eighteen dieter, complaing three hundred and eighty eight Alumni, who received from him the honor •of graduation, and a etill larger number Weide, who; !thing arbis feel, received like Impres alone of 'diadem and piety, as well as the entire lint of graduates, both of- prevloue and subtle quota times—and 11l behalf of a whole commu nity, the fountains of whose grief were stirred to their depths, when, at hie Redestner'a call, he left the earth,and mended to the realms of light.

To what, then, shall see ascribe this living, moving panorama; this gush ing out of so emotion common to so raspy b ee n,' The explanation may bo given in a few words.

There Is an Arabian tradition that the intact lour, with his parenls,duritig their night into Egypt. stopped to rest under the shade of a fine sycamore fig tree, near the hereof a lofty obelisk in the city of lieltopolis, the tin of the Bible.

The assembly was next addressed by Rev. WILLIAM P. Mamie, H. U , a member of the Faculty and for tweily years an intimate par. tonal friend and official !associate of the venue hie deceased. His portraiture of the good old man was beautiful in the extreme, and came gushing from an earnest end fervent heart.

I could mention instances, if time would allow, Which canto bolero my own personal knowledge, in an acquaintance of some twenty years, eighteen of which, brought us together in the intimate and daily duties of college life; relations which as much as any other are calculated to bring out the elements et the hidden man., Whatever is noble and gener ous, or otherwise, ts likely to come forth In this field of action. In all this, be was kind; but firm, for bearing, yet courageous; in all, ha was generous, the noble hearted, the good man, and true. Thethigh estimation in which he was held by his pupils was justly merited. Their feelings towards him was filial, and were only the reciprocation of the parental solicitude which he shier, felt for them. They had the evidence of his tender anxiety, fot their true welfare, in his kind admonitions, his fer vent prayers, and visibly in the tears which trickled down the good old man's face at morning prayers in the college hell. It was Aso one peculiarity in him which gained their youthful hearts, but altogether they won from them not only their esteem and ran. oration but their love. Ito was a man to be loved, and their love for him was more like children's for a parent than any other. Nearly four hundred of them received their diplomas from his hands, as the pre cuffing officer of the institution in which they were educated, and wherever they scattered abroad through our land, or in other lands, his name was always fresh in their heart; and precious to their memories.

May we he r ardoned for mentioning an inci dent or two, to show that Dr. M'Cocaughy's cha racter enhanced the reputation of the town of Washioglon and Its society with those who were for off and had, had no connection with the Col lege.

Itleems but the other day, since I attended the first funeral, that entered these consecrated grounds. In that brief period, how many have here been laid in their silent homes! So that in respect to the number of its unconscious in habitants, and the taste and beauty of its squares and moon raent s, th is may already be called the city of our dead. I way oar dead. For who amongst us all has not some friend, some loved and cher ished one,reposing, here Some of us have buried here friends an.l kindred, bound to our hearts by tenderest earthly Lies.

But mill it to meet, that his name should be per petuated by some durable monument. Worthily did the Alumni undertake this filial enterprise. Cordially were they aided by many friends of their Alma Mater and of her revered President. With spirit and energy have they conducted it, Creditably and happily have they completed it. And here we have met with grateful hearts, on Ibis commencement day, in this beautiful repos itory of the dead, to erect this tateful and up propriale monument Long may this mausole um stand, and tell to the generations following the venerated name of Dr. IfsVonakohy t the faith ful pastor, the skillful instructor, the able and successful President, the judicious counsellor, the warm-hearted friend, the pious mid aerated and highly honored minister of God. Mr. Mt:Kt:sass was followed by Iluau W. Tk.tit.ll, Est.,, of Philadelphia, an honored son of the College and a great admirer or the char acter and virtues of his revered poreepter. Ile 'vela as follow s: feel proud of this opportunity to assist in the pious services of this occasion, and pay toy fee tribute of respect to tho memory of the good man, •hos e items we thus seek to honor. This monument will testify to after genera lions, that the labors of love and Christian ex ample of Dr. McConatight have produced, in thou° who were benefitted thereby, their due harvest of gratitude and affection Ills name, however, does not depend on this alone for af fectionate remembrance. Ills pupils scattered, in every fleecier of thin Union, and in distant laude—many in high political and professional I , oBilioll9—are living monumente of his fostering care, of his patient training in well doing. These pupils, as well as this people, among whom he lived, will over cherish his memory as children cherish the memory of a lost father. What student was there, that ever feared the pen alty far wrong-doing, no much as be dreaded the grief he might ocoasion iu a heart that felt and beat for hint with a parent's love •: Ilia learning was great, hie skill as au ivalruc tor of youth all admired: but was It for time we loved him in No, not for three! We come today as children, to render the natural tribute of attention, with which a father's virtues have inspired us. Few hero to-day think of Dr. Aio- Conaugby as the eoholar, its the teacher, while all dwell with delightful remembrance on the memory of the,,,toOd elan. Learning is attaina ble by all; genius and talent are given to many; but, beyond and above them all, is that faculty of inspiring all around with filial love and con fidence. This, the highest attribute of human excellence,' Dr. AleConaugby possessed Ina re markable degree. Ile seemed to be basking in the light of the Deity, nod all were cheered by the heavenly rays teal shone reflected from him. And it is not alone by affectionate-regards that Dr. lillionaughy's name will be perpetuated. The high etandard of this community for relig ion and morality—bow much does it not owe to Lim! How often have I felt proud, when far :distant from thie home of my - childhood, to hear Washington referred to by strangers in the high . eel terms of commendation for her population of moral and God-fearing people. Not only so, but In my bushiess, I have had occasion to entrust. matters of weighty importance to the care of Alumni of Washington College, in various parts of the Union, and I have yet to meet with decep lion, neglect of basinese, or any dishonesty. The general tone of society here, in which their Alumni moved while students, had much to do with this; but I know I utter sentiments that you will all anent to, when I gay that Dr. Breen aughy'e admonitions, watchful care, affectionate solicitude and pious example, did pore towards this than all the rest.

In lamb a case tolsenlogisd has only to point out this singularity to secure • attention and admiration- .Ifut the impartial historian follows, and abates this exaggerated estimate, by reminding us that in manly a path of virtue and usefulness that person never trod. That in the one line of accomplishmentapecified he was indeed peerless, but for aught• else he was Inapplicable or incapable. Our cordial task to-day may, perhaps, exclude us from the plaudits of those who can admire • only that which is singular, and who value only that which is eccentric and rare. Bat we can solace ourselves with the thought that we have no reason to fear abatements by the moot rigid fidelity of the historian. The monument, which presumes to perpetu ate the memory of this venerated President of Washington College; thiswell furnished scholar; this polished gentleman; this able theologian; end this bumble yet exalted Christian man— his monument should mainly possess the qual ity of faultless symmetry. It may indeed aspire to pre-eminence ; and it may justly excel in the beauty and elegance of ' each of its eeveral parts, but its distinction must mainly consist in the correspondence of all its parts ono to lho other, and each conducing to the delightful effect of a symmetrical &MOM plishmetn, or otherwise it is not in our esteem doe monument of hlm whom we delight to honor. Ills bodily appearance (seen by us only when it was "lihe a chock of corn fully ripe") possess ed a powerful and attractive charm. A plaold and yet animated countenance told of a BOUI within at fence with both his brother and his God. Intelligence beamed from his eye defiant Mike of the weight of his years and of the vigi lance of his modesty. Clear perceptions, sound judgment,. abounding benevolence and a long and bright array of generous and noble virtues were ioiellihly engraven on his meek and yet majestic brow We hare seen him In his lecture room and in his parlor, participating in the re fined enjoyments of the &mild circle, and preei• • .. • ~ lition of angry passioue from our insulted and 'justly indighant President, we beheld this de lightful exhibition of moral grandeur, vim: the venerable man tenderly wept over the evidence of the degrading nature of sin. And instead of appointing a diligent search for the offenders, he benevolently hoped they might never be discov ered, lest the moral sense of the community might brand them with an indellible mark of in famy. On another occasion. whilst- he was lecturing . upon the Evidences of Christianity, tome un seemly merriment appeared in a portion of the class. l'ity, sorrow and intense displeasure were all mantfested in his countenance, and when his forbearance could no longer endure, he gave vent to his disapprobation in this cratetitreiressm: "Young men, even devils fear and tremble when ..-: this subject is before them.", . ..,:.,,, And now memory reproduces the scene when that incorruptablc statesman, John Quincy Adams, honored us with his presence.

There they stood confronting each other—notilitasi frotres—their shining looks citing with each other in the purity of their sil very light, and whilst the chaste, elegant and eloquent diction of our orator, traced the vir; teens, useful and successful career of that mas ter of law and science, the veteran guest was almost overpowered by the well earned and the well bestowed cnloginm. Never have we seen a similar service so tastefully performed. Bat the last public service which we were per mitted to see him perform, was still more admi rable and doubtless, more in accordance - with the affections of his heart. He was standing in an humble pulpit, with a deeply interested audi ence before him, and this was his text "We pray you in Christ's stead be, ye reconciled to God." Tearfully and with a mast winning pathos and ardour, ha urged the heavenly importunities of the Gospel, and so effectually, that every consci 'l nce seemed aroused and every heart to yield 5 sent. . These random incidents may serve some pur pose to illustrate the variety and completeness of that character whose most attractive charm to us wee its duo and beautiful proportions— lacking nothing that was essential and possess tag nothing that greatly marred the whole. Not a lofty mass of intellect frigid from lack .of ge nial emotions, nor yet a tempest of emotions un governed by discretion, but a most beautiful combination of the gentleman, the scholar, the friend and the christiao, A model man—worthy . tip be loved, commemorated and imitated by no all."
