I cheerfully comply wiih your request, and here with place the address at your disposal. Respectfully Yours, B. F. MEYERS. To Messrs. SCHKLL, EDSALL, CLARKE, MULLIN, and others. ADDRESS. FELLOW CITIZENS:—We celebrate this day as the anniversary of that In dependence which was the foundation of tho American Republic. We rejoice that our colonial ancestors possessed the intelligence and virtue to resist ty ranny, and that the Supreme Ruler of the Universe crowned with success their struggle for Liberty. Nor is our re joicing but empty show, —thenoiseand riot of senseless revelry, the sounding brass and tinkling cymbals of an un reasoning adoration of human great ness ; it is the simple but earnest ex pression of our homage to Liberty and our veneration for the memory of those who established it throughout our land. The occasion, too, reminds us that we are to imitate the virtues of the men to whom the lustre of this day owes all its brightness and glory; that we are not merely to rejoice over what has been and is, but to look forward with unclouded, truth-searching eyes toward that which is to be; and, above all, that we are to see to it that the fabric of government erected by the founders of the Republic be preserved intact to posterity. Thus solemnly reminded of our duty we look back to that period, "grand, gloomy and peculiar," in which the old bell of the Philadelphia State House, proclaimed Liberty to the tax ridden and misgoverned people of the colonies. The story of the Revolution is familiar to all. .The burden of Brit ish oppression had become too heavy to be borne and the colonists took up arms to resist the execution of the odious enactments of." arliament. This war of resistance to the British Tax laws, was waged about fifteen months, when the Colonial Congress, assembled at Philadelphia, adopted and promul gated the Declaration of Independence, and thenceforward it became a war for the establishment of a separate govern ment. The difficulties which surrounded the Revolutionists, the sufferings endured by the little band of patriots which dur ing seven years of rapine and carnage grappled with the power of Britain, solemnly teach us that our freedom was dearly bought and that we should consider it as a boon of priceless worth. And, indeed, how can we revert to the story of Lexingt-n and Bunker Hill, or look, in fancy, upon the flames of burning Charlestown, how can we think of Valley Forge and -King's Mountain, or remember Marion and his men, without feeling that we should surrender all, even life itself, rather than suffer the destruction of the insti tutions bequeathed to us by the patriot fathers? How can we study the history of the early times of our Republic and learn that it was born amid the shock BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 19, 1867. of civil convulsion, baptized in the blood of the noblest and best of that age, and reared under the tutelage of the wisest and greatest men the world has produced, and not resolve to guard it as the very ark of the covenant of Lib erty? The true lover of our form of govern ment, is attached by the blessings it confers, with cords of imperishable af fection, to its principles and institu tions. He needs not be told that those who founded it, passed through the fiery ordeal of revolution; he needs not be reminded of the valor, the fortitude and the self-denial of its authors; he knows it to be as nearly perfect as any system ever devised by man, and ac cepts and defends it with that whole heartedness and singleness of purpose which always characterize the sincere patriot. But there are those whom neither the example of the men of the Revolution, nor the advantages con ferred by our government, can reconcile to its continued existence. The spirit of innovation stalks throughout the land, and men fall down and worship it as a god! Its brazen image has been set up in the Temple of Liberty and in the very holy of holies incense is burn ed before this strange deity. But the iconoclasts will come and the idol will be broken in pieces. Let us take care, however, that in the storm of evil pas sions, the temple itself be not pulled down. Let us read with profit the les sons of history, so that ours may not be the fate of the Amphyctionic Council, or the Achaian League, but that brighter and more glorious than the splendor of Republican Greece, or Rome, may be the record of the Republic of America. Let us be true to the nature and spirit of our government, and no Macedonian fraud shall ever rob us of our liberties, no Cesar cross the Rubicon of our Re publicanism. But it cannot be that in the light of those historic examples af forded by the decay and downfall of the ancient Republics, we, too, shall lapse into those fatal errors which proved their destruction. It cannot be that lust for conquest, greed of power, the tyranny of majorities, or the turbu lence of faction, will sk* permitted to add America to the catalogue of ruined Commonwealths. History gives us an apocalyptic glimpse of what may be our future. We could not, if we would, shut our eyes and refuse to see our pos sible fate. We are compelled to look upon it, and surely we will not delib erately walk into peril so vividly re vealed. Besides, the divine warmth of Christian philosophy has tempered the human heart, and we are better adapt ed to the mild government of a Repub lic than those who lived in the cold light of Pagan systems and in the cheer less gloom of idolatry. No, it is in credible that in our case history will "repeat itself." The beacon that warns us of danger shines brightly upon our j path-way, and though the darkness ot war and the chaos of domestic tumult surround us, we will fix our eyes upon the Constitution, in the light of an un shaken faith that it will bring us safely through every difficulty, "Onward, through the cave of night, Boring with our signal light; Though the sky is glooming o'er us, We will trust the track before us." Yes! "we will trust the track!" It was laid by careful hands ; it rests upon the imperishable rock; it was made to bear the precious freight of a nation,—made to bear it as well when the sweet sun shine of peace beams upon it, as when the sulphurous clouds of war burst ov er and spend their fury against it. We need not fear the track. But, now and then, obstructions are placed upon it. Now and then it is buried beneath the land-slides of fanaticism or the seoriie of civil feuds. Now and then there is a reckless, or unfaithful, engineer. But the track itself remains and will con tinue to exist, though mountains of er ror fall upon it, though the ashes and desolation of civil convulsion hide it from those of little faith. We cau trust the track, but not those who would de viate from it. We cannot trust those who teach us to forsake the Constitu tion and seek political refuge in the dogma of the absolute sovereignty of the States, nor those who would build up a central tyranny upon the shift ing sands of extra-Constitutional pow er. The one would lead to the inevita ble disintegration of the Republic; the other would prove the worst species of despotism. Is it not strange that A mericans should favor either of these things? Is it not passing strange that men cannot see and appreciate the won drous beauty of our system in that it so clearly defines the orbit of Federal, as well as of State, Sovereignty ? Never theless it is from the extreme State Sovereignty men, on the one hand, and from the advocates of a centralized na tional government on the other, that our country has been threatened, from the adoption of the Constitution until the present day. Nothing can be more certain than this: The Federal Gov ernment is supreme within its Consti tutional sphere; beyond the limits of that sphere it has no authority; and whilst the States cannot encroach upon the powers of the Federal Government, all powers not delegated to it by the Constitution, or not prohibited by that instrument to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the peo ple. In the language of the great ex pounder of the Constitution, ours "is a popular representative government, with all the departments, and all the functions and organs, of such a govern ment. But it is still a limited, a re strained, a severely guarded govern ment. It exists under a written Con stitution, and all that human wisdom could do, is done to define its powers and to preventtheirabu.se. It is placed in what was supposed to be the safest medium between dangerous authority on the one hand and debility and in efficiency on the other. That happy medium was found by the exercise of the greatest political sagacity, and the influence of the greatest good fortune. Weeannot move the system either way, without the probability of hurtful change; and as experience has taught us its safety and usefulness, when left where it is, our duty is a plain one. "It cannot be doubted that a system thus complicated, must be accompanied by more, or less, of danger, in every stage of its existence. It has not the simplicity of despotism. It is not a plain column, that stands self-poised and self-supported. Nor is it a loose, unfixed, irregularand undefined system of rule, which admits of constant and vi olent changes, without losing its char acter. But it is a balanced and guarded system; a system of checks and controls; a system in which powers are carefully delegated ar.d as carefully limited; a system in which the symmetry of the parts is designed to produce an aggre gate whole, which shall be favorable to personal liberty, favorable to pub lic prosperity, and favorable to national glory." Thus spoke the immortal Webster, and if we but adopt his enlightened and patriotic exposition of the theory of our government, all will be well. If we but cling to the Constitutional track, there can be no danger of running either into disintegration, or central ization. Oh !if we but cling to the track, we shall travel on forever upon the road of national prosperity. The genuine patriot shuns extremes. He has learned the lesson of the "golden mean," and applies it strictly to his conduct as a citizen. He realizes, in all its fulness, the truth of the German adage, " Mittelmaas die beste straas." He remembers that our Constitution was the work of men who differed widely in their views of government, but who advanced each from his own stand-point, to meet the rest upon common ground. He knows that our system was the result of mutual conces sions on the part of those who framed it, and that ultraism, whether it be centripetal, or centrifugal, has no war rant under it and is utterly foreign to its nature. But whilst he avoids and opposes those schemes of malignant reform which are inconsistent with the character of our government, or which threaten to overturn it, he believes in that sort of progress which educates and elevates the people, which brings to the nation, virtue, intelligence and prosperity, which while it does not disturb the public peace, pours wealth into the national treasury, lightens the burdens of taxation and conduces to the happiness and contentment of the citizen. Such a patriot is worthy of the name. Such was the character of those men who inaugurated and carried to a triumphant issue the war of the Revolution. Such were Hancock and Jefferson, Franklin and Rutledge, Hamilton and Madison, and such was the Pater Patrice , the deathless Wash ington. Had the generations which succeeded them emulated the example of those illustrious men, had those who administered the laws, striven as zeal ously for the perpetuation of the Repub- Hancock and his com peers labored to establish it,had statesmen of opposite views met upon common ground, for the common good, as Hamilton and Madison met, in short, had that spirit of mutual forbearance and that deter mination to bury faction beneath the necessity of the public weal, which ennobled the character of the authors of our government, animated and ac tuated their successors, we would never VOL 61.—WH0LE No. 5,401. have been cursed with sectional jeal ousies, civil commotion, or internecine war. But alas! history will record that those grand models of patriotism and statesmanship, were soon forgotten; that sectional animosities drove them from their place in the American heart; that in spite of the noble example of tho e who founded the government, in spite of the solemn warning of Wash ington himself, political discord, parti zau hate, and finally civil war, with all its untold horrors, became the lot of the American people. Oh! that we could blot the hateful stain from the historian's record! Oh ! that pitying Heaven would sink the volume which records it, beneath the waters of eternal Lethe! But the stigma is ineffaceable' and its blackness can only be softened by a future of peace and a complete restoration of friendship between those who were at enmity. Let, us then, leave to the historian the unhappy strife which so lately raged in our land. Let him tell of the causes which opera ted to produce it; let him trace the red track of the gigantic struggle; let him record the triumph of that banner which isthesymbol of the Constitution; Jet him celebrate the deeds of those who, on maify a bloody field, bore the oriflitmmeof victory ; and let him not forget to write, as the redeeming char acteristic of a fratricidal war, that the earth never drank the blood of braver men than those who fell in this sad and ensanguined conflict. "As rolls the river into ocean, In sable torrent wildly streaming, As the sea-tide's opposing motion, In azure column proudly gleaming, Beats back the current many a rood, In curling foam and mingling flood, While eddying whirl, and breaking wave, Roused by the blast ot wijater, rave; Through sparkling spray, in thunder crash, The lightningsof the waters fltsh, In awful whiteness on the shore, Thus—as the stream and ocean greet, With waves that madden as they meet — Thus joined the bands, whom mutual wrong, And fate and fury drove along !" Let it be for us this day to rejoice that we have seen the end of our first (may Heaven vouchsafe it to be our last) civ il war. To-day four years ago, the cannon of Meade boomed from the heights of Gettysburg and the legions of Lee galloped to the charge in thun dering squadrons. To- day four years ago, we sang carmen triumphale , for we knew that the soil of Pennsylvania was once more free from the foot of the invader. But to-day there is no sound of deep-mouthed cannon; to-day we sing no song of triumph ; but westretch our hands in the magnanimity of true men, saying, to the vanquished, Come back with us beueath the shelter of the old banner, come back and let us bury out of sight the festering corse of the dead past, come back and let us restore that Union which has given us national greatness and without which we can have neither internal peace, nor exter nal safety! Two years ago the flag of the South was furled forever. It went down amid the smoke of battle never to float again. But the States whose people revolted against the Federal authority, remain unrestored to their Constitution al relations to the government. There are to-day but twenty seven of the thirty seven States, represented in Con gress. This condition of practical dis union, is, at present, our greatest danger. Billions of debt, an inflated currency, and the other inevi able results of a prolonged and bloody war, however crushing they appear, maybe borne, but dis-Union, never! We need public confidence in the financial soundness of the country, as well as that soundness itself. We need commercial and social intercourse with the people of the vast agricultural South. We need thesplendid revenues which lhat section, if once permitted to enjoy political quiet, will be sure to bring to the national treasury. But, above all, we need the speedy settle ment, in accordance with the Constitu tion, of the vexed questions which have grown out of the war, so that the public inind may be free from the the distur bance of violent partizan agitation, and the danger of fresh feuds and new wars be averted from the near future. How shall these desirable ends be attained? How, but by the restora tion of the ten States now unrepre sented in the government, to their Con stitutional relations to the Republic? It is not sufficient that the flag of the Union waves over the strongholds of the late rebellious South. It is not e nough that the alarum of war has ceas ed and that opposition to the Federal Government has been transmuted, by force of arms, into abject submission. It remains for us to restore civil gov ernment to, or, rather, to remove the military duress by which civil govern ment is restrained in, the States of the I South. When thisshallbeaocomplish ed, the arts of peace will flourish again; when this shall be consummated, the wheat-fields of Shenandoah once more will yield their golden harvests to the sickle, and the cotton-fields of Georgia fullfil the hopes of producer and con sumer. Then, and not till then, will the sword be truly beaten into the ploughshare, the spear into the prun ing-hook. Let us, then, turn our at tention to the restoration of that por tion of our country at present excluded from participation in the government. Let us forget all connected with our civ il war, save the great central fact of a preserved Union and the memory of the heroes who f >ught and died in the struggle. And here let us pay a pass ing tribute to those who yielded up their lives in the wager of battle. "How many a glorious name for us, How many a story of fame for us, They left! Would it not be a shame for us, If their memory part From our land and heart. And a wrong to them and a blame for us ? No ! No! No ! They were brave for us, And bright were the lives they gave for us. The land they struggled to save for us, Cannot forget Its warriors yet, Who sleep in many a grave for "■ But how shall we do justice to the brave men who perished for the sake of their country? Whence shall we borrow the glowing language that be fits their eulogy? Monuments may be erected in their honor, and their ashes gathered in gorgeous mausoleums, the epic page may burn in description of their deeds and the painter's canvas glow with the picture of the red con flict in which they fell, but all will fail to cancel the overwhelming debt of gratitude which the nation owes them. We cannot estimate the value of the sacrifice they made for us; we can only drop a tear to their memory and wish for them, "Iu Heaven a borne with the brave and blest, A name in song and story, And fame to shout with her brazen voice, 'Died on the Field of Glory.' " But whilst we keep in remembrance the fallen brave, let us hasten to re build the waste places of our country; let us restore the Constiution as the su preme law of the land; let us banish faction and check innovation ; and let us strive to make our government con form in spirit, as well as in letter, to i hat liberalism which knows no oppres sion for opinion's sake and which makes the title of American citizen syn onymous with that of freeman. With our hands upon our hearts, with our eyes uplifted to heaven, let us, in hum ble imitation of those grand old patri ots who, this day ninety-one years ago, announced the birth of a new nation, pledge u our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor," that, so help us God, we will stand by the Union of the States and the liberty of the citizen, against all opposition, whether from armed usur pation, or peaceful revolution. THE DOOM OP THE WORLD.—What this change is to be, we dare not even conjecture; but we see in the heavens themselves some traces of destructive elemets, and some indication of their power. The fragments of broken plan ets, the descent of the meteoric stones on the globe, the wheeling com ets, wielding their loose materials in our own satellite, the appearance of new stars, and the disappearance of others, are, as the solar furnace, the volcan ic eruptions, all foreshadows of that impending convulsion to which the sys tem of the world is doomed. Thus placed on a planet which is burned up, and under heavens which are to pass away; thus treading, as it were, on the cemeteries, and dwelling upon the mausoleums of former worlds, let us learn the lesson of humility and wisdom if we have not already been taught in the school of revelation.— North British Review. A SWEET TEMPER.—No trait of char acter is more valuable in a woman than the possession of a sweet temper. Home can never be made happy without it. It is lise the flowers that spring up in our pathway, reviving and cheering us. Let a man go home at night weary and worn by the toils of the day and how soothing is a word dictated by a good disposition? It is sunshine falling on his heart. He is happy, and the cares of life are forgotten. A sweet temper has a soothing influence over the mind of a whole family. Where it is found in the wife and mother, you observe kindness and love predominating over the natural feeling of a bad heart. Sfhiles, kind words, characterize the children and peace and love have their dwelling there. Study, then, to acquire and retain a sweet temper. It is more gold; it captivates more than beauty; and to the close of life it retains all its freshness and power. A REMINISCENCE.— OIiver Crom well was buried in Westminister Ab bey, but after the restoration, by sol emn act of Parliament, more barbar ous than any private act of him they called the "usurper," his body, together with that of his son-in-law, Henry Ire ton, Lord Deputy of Ireland and John Bradshaw, who presided at the trial of Charlfes I, was taken from his grave, conveyed upon sledges to Tyburn, and there hung at three several angles of the gallows until sunset.
