Knowing that our readers will be deeply
interested in a perusal of the Orations f &c.,
we have concluded to give the programme
in full, to the exclusion of our weekly va
riety.
I formed in the public square headed by the
Utica.(N. Y.) Zouavcs; Worth Infantry,
Ziegle Guards, and York Guards, all of
York : Housam Zouaves, of Chambersburg;
Franklin Zouaves, Gettysburg Zouaves—
followed by carriages contsining the Com
missioners of the National Cemetery, Com
mittee of Arrangements, and distinguished
invited guests. The scene at the Cemetery
was imposing. A stand, accommodating
about 500 persons, had been erected within
the semi-circle of graves, north of the
3lonument, to which admit Lance was gained
by tick e ts previously issued by the Com
mittee. In front of the stand and around
the base of the Monument were gathered a
dense muss of ladies and gentlemen, num
bering, according to varying.estimates, from
5,0e0 to 150;00, all anxious to get within
hearing distance.
The exercises were opened with music by
the Germania Orchestra, of Philadelphia,
when David Mils, EQq., Chairman of the
Committee, stepped forward, announced
that the publish. d programme would b e
rigidly adhered to, and introduced Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, who had been invit
ed to make the opening prayer.
Lord God of our fathers, we thank Thee
that Thou last been God of this land : that
Thou Last inspired our citizens to frame
wise laws and lay the foundation ot intelli
gence and of virtue end of piety. We
thank Thee that Thou Last ordained among
is ins!ituticrs for the Lenefit of all, and
that in all the history of their formation,
and amidst all the strurgies through which
tiny have passed, Thou bast been on the
side of liberty and knotdedge, and hest be
friended the poor and needy. We thank
Thee, 0 Lord our God, that when times of
struggle came on ; when evil rushed in up
on as like s flood, Thi,6 (Mist at last raise
up oppositidn, and didst call from all places
those that shottld assert again the everlast
ing truths of human right and human lib- -
et ty. And when aggression broke forth
into - battle, Thou, 0 Lord God of our fath
ers, didst cal lforth from all our fields, from
towns, and from cities, mnititudes iunumer
able, who stood heroically to defend this
nation and maintain its integrity unimpair
ed. Upon this eminence, where Thou
didst, lead forth Thj people unto victory,
we are , gathered again to renew associations
and derive instruction, and hand down to
our posterity the lessons of patriotism and
heroic devotion which here were given.
Grant, we beseech lee, Thy blessing to
rest upon all who are gathered here to-day:
0 Lord, we cannot ask Thy blessing upon
those that rest in sleep, in death round about
us ; whom Thou bast blessed, we hum
bly trust, in Jesus Christ, in the immortali
ty of another and better land. But, 0
Lord, remember that all our hearts yet bleed
for them. Remember those whose homes
are poorer since they died. May they be
cheered in recollecting that their''whole
land is richer. 0 Lord, bless those fathers
whose sons lie buried here, and mothers in
to whose hearts the sword entered more
deeply than into theirs who were slain
thereby. Remember the orphan children
of those that are silent here ; and we be
iseech of Thee that wherever they are, and
under whatsoever circumstances surround
ed, they may feel not only the sympathy
and good-will of their fellow-citizens, but
in an eminent degree may Thy providence
smile upon them. May the soldiers' children
never prove unworthy of their fathers' fame ;
may they grow-up into true heroism and
love of their native land, and, as did their
fathers, lot them be willing to shed their
blood, to lay down their lives, for the sake
of their country. Let Thy blessing, 0
Lord,' rest upon Thy servant who com
manded here in, time of great trial, and
whose life mercifully bas been spared
through intervening years since, to be here
again under circumstances se different.—
Long may his life be spared, and those of his
household, and may the blessing by which
Thou didat make him instrumental for right,
and for the good of the whole land,come back
in a measure upon him and his 1 Remember
all who were here associated with him in
command, not only so many as are now
present, but these who are detained from
this ground. Whersoever they are may the
blessing of Almighty God rest upon them
and theirs, and their families.. Remember,
0 Lord, the soldiers who fought here and
everywhere; we, pray for them and theirs,
that God's blessing may attend them to the
end of life; save them from snares and
temptations mightier than their virtue, and
*it that in all their manifest. and noble
'endeavors they may achieve yet more than
is contained in the record of their past.—
We beseech Thee, Lord God, to grant Thy
blessing upon this whole nation ; be pleas
ed to unite together the hearts of this once
divided but now united People; unite their
hearts together, and with thee 4 n ew found-
ations of liberty, universal intetigence, and
.
virtue and piety, may thia Mon grow

Address by Gen. Meade
General Meade then took a position on
the platform, and was received with cheers.
When tba cheeringwith which he was re-
ceived hail subsided; he said
MY FELLOW CITIZENS, LADIES, AND GEN
TLEMEN : Six years ago I stood upon this
ground under circumstances very different
from those which now surround us. These
beautiful hills and valleys now teeming
with luxuriant crops, these happy faces
around me, are widely different from the
tumultuous roar of war and the terrible
scenes enacted at that time. Four years
ago I stood here by invitation of some hon
orable gentlemen who have brought me
here this time, and laid the corner stone of
the monument which we are brought here
to-day to dedicate; and now for the third time
I appear before you at the request of the
managers of the Monument Association to
render my assistance, humble as it is, in
paying respect to the memory of the brave
men who fell here, by dedicating this mon
ument to_them ; and at the request of these
gentlemen I am about to make to you a
few, a very few, remarks which are inci
dent to the occasion and suggested by it.
When I look around and see, es I now see,
so many brave men who were by my side in
that memorable battle, among them his
Excellency the present Governor of Penn
sylvania, (General Geary,) and others who
were with Me at that time; when I look
back and think upon the noble spirits who
then fought so well, and now- sleep that
sleep that knows no waking—gallant Reyn
olds, my bosom friend, as well as my right
band officer; brave Vincent, and Zook, and
others, farmore in number than I have time
or words to mention—my feelings are those
of mingled sadness and joy ; sadness, my
friends,to think that there ever was an occas
ion when such men should be arrayed in bat
tle, as they were here ; that we should ever be
called upon, as we were on this field, to de
feud the flag Ofour country S.: Government,
which had been handed down to us from
our forefathers ; sadness, to think of the
mourning and desolation which prostrated
our whole land, North and South ; sadness
to contemplate the vast destruction of life l / 4
which we here wrought in obediend to
our highest duty. lam filled with sadness
to think of the host of mourning widows
and orphans. left throughout the land by
that dreadful:struggle. Such thoughts nec
essarily crowd upon us. At the same time
I give thanks, to the Almighty, who direct
ed the event; and who selected me as an
humble instrument, with those then around
me upon this field, to obtain that decisive
victory which turned the tide of that great
war, and settled forever, I trust, in this
country, the great principles of personal
liberty and constitutional freedom. [Ap
plause.] I feel gratitude, too, that our fellow
countrymen have been moved to such res
pect and honor as we are now paying to
the memory cif those men who, in the dis
charge
of their duty, laid down their lives,
proving, by the highest sacrifice man can
render, their devotion to the cause they
were defending; gratitude to those pres
' ent to-day, who by Their presence contrib
ute to render the high honor justly due to
the fallen brave. There is one subject, my
friends, which I will mention now and on
this spot, while my attention is being call
ed to it, and on which I trust my feeble
voice will have some influence. When I
contemplate this field I see here and there
the marks of hastily dug trenches in which
repose the dead against whom we fought.
They are the Work of my brothers in arms
the day after the battle- AbOve them a bit
of plank indicates simply that these re
mains of the -fallen were hurriedly laid
there by soldiers who met them in battle.
Why should Wo, not collect them in some
suitable place f - ivi s o not ask that a monu
ment be erected et ‘ . them; I do not ask
that we should in any way 'endorse their
cause or theieconduct,',or entertain other
than feelings of condemnation for their
oourse. But they are dead ; they have gone
before their Hiker to be judged. In all
civilized countries it is the usage to bury
the dead with: decency and respect, and
even to fallen enemies respectful burial is
accorded in death. [Applause.] I earnesi
ly hope that th!s suggestlon may have some
influence throughout our broad land, tor
this is only ohe of a hundred crowded
battle fields. Bona& persons may be designat
ed by the Goveinment to collect these neg-
lectat bones aud bury them without com
memorating ninumeuts, simply indicating

far-reaching conseqUences, will still live in
history. Nations have their birth, youth,
maturity, old age, and death; and ours,
though we call it eternal, and our institu
tions immortal, will be no exception. But
though nations must pus away, and all
physical evidence of their existence be
lost, yet may they live through all time in
the brightness of their examples, in the
glory of their deeds, and in the beneficence
of their institutions. These are the Inheri
tances they le•ive to the far-coming centu
ries. _
When the pyramids of Egypt shall
have sunk to the level of the Nile ; when
the remnant of Grecian architecture, the
.last inscribed block of marble, shall have
perished, men will still reed of Mom and
and the Pass of Thermopyls3. Monuments,
after all, are but for the present, and may
only instruct a few generations. But a
glorious deed is a joy forever.
THE GREAT BATTLE.
Six years ago, day after to-morrow, the
Union army was stretched along these
heights from Culp's Hill to Round Top—a
human breakwater, against which the great
tidal wave of rebellion was that day to dash
in vain, and be thrown back in bloody
spray and broken billows. The rebel chief
tain, flushed by his success at Fredericks
burg and Chanceltomtits, forgetting that
his triumphs had arisen from the fact that
he had fought upon his own soil, behind
natural fastnesses, having the advantage of
choice of position and knowledge of the
country, had insolently crossed the Poto-
mac and invaded the loyal State of Penn-,
Sylvania. But from this invasion he was '
hurled back in bloody defeat, and in dis
ordered
flight crossed the Potomac, never
again to set foot upon the soil of a loyal
State. On yonder high ground across the
plain was drawn out in battle array the I
rebel host. It was an open.field ; the terms
were nearly equal, and steady No
valor, animated by the love of con=
to meet the boasted chivalry of the flouth
fighting for slavery, sweep it from the field,
strip it of its meretricious plumes, and give
the Confederacy a fatal wound.
It is the solid qualities of men and na
tions that win in the long run. The chiv
alry of false pride, the arrogance and vanity
of a favored class, whose elevation - is only
seen by the depression of -others, may by
spasmodic efforts for a time dazzle the eyes
of the world, but cannot long maintain a
successful contest with truth, justice, and
the strength of free institutions. This was
illustrated in the war of the rebellion, and
in the battle of Gettysburg. This battle
was not won by superior strategy or mili
tary genius, although managed with great
courage and skill by General Meade and his
subordinate commanders, who left nothing
undone that the occasion seemed to require,
and who made the best use of the forces
and opportunities at their command.
It was a three days' battle, with varying
fortunes the first and second days, in which
the steadiness of Northern valor, animated 1 1
by the convictions of a Just cause,, and the
love and pride of a great and free country,
finally wore out, bore down, and swept from
the field the rebel masses, composed of men
of equal physical courage, hut whose moral
power was impalted by the absence of that
strong conviction of the right which is a
vast element of success.
In yonder cemetery, among the white
tombstones, "where heaves the turf in
many a mouldering heap" over the burled
generations of the hamlet, was planted the
artillery whose tearful peals would have
aroused the slumbering dead were It not or
dained that they should awake only at the
sound of the last trump. Just behind the
crest of the hill, in the old cemetery, stood
the tent of glorious commander, the
imperturbahle Meade, calmly dictating his
orders, while the storm of shot and shell
flew ove/and around him. From yonder
steeple, northwest of the village, the rebel
chieftain surveyed the field, directed his
host, and from time to time saw his ad
vancing columns reel and wither, and
finally retreat in hopeless flight and confus:
ion. The flower of the rebel army bad
been chosen for the assault, and were massed
to bring overwhelming numbers to bear on
the point of attack. The rebel chieftain
brought together more than 150 pieces of
artillery, with which, for three hours, he
poured a terrific fire upon that part of the
Union lines he intended to assault.
It was a grand and solemn sight,' when
line after lines; with steady step and in per
fect order, emerged from the smoke and
swept across the field toward the Union
army. It was a moment of vast peril and
import, of which both parties were power -' fully conscious. If the rebel assault was
successful, and we lost that:Nettle, Washing
ton and Philadelphia were within their
grpsp. The North invaded, defeated, and
demoralized would do—we know not what.
Foreign nations would be encouraged to
Intervene, and the South, elated, would put
forth more desperate efforts than before. If
the assault failed, and we gained the battle,
the remnant of the rebel hosts must seek
safety in flight, and a blow would be in
flicted upon the Confederacy from which it
could scarcely recover. These thoughts were
present in the minds of all, and gave heroic
courage toassault, and to resist. But now
the fire of our artillery was opened upon
the advancing columns, and the shot and
shell tore through their ranks, making
great gaps, which were quickly filled up by
those who came behind. Bat onward they
came with desperate courage, until soon
the fierce fire of musketry on both side.s
mingled with the horrid roar of artillery.
Theo, with terrific yells, they rushed upon
our lines; but the impetus of their assault
was suddenly checked. They were met by
a courage as desperate as their own, and a
fierce hand-to-hand conflict took place.
The result was not long doubtful. Their
thinned and broken . columns were flung
back across the plain la headlong flight,
leaving thousands of prisoners in our hands,
the ground covered with dead and dying,
and wet and muddy with blood. We had
gained the day, though at fearful cost. The
victory was great and mighty in its conse•
nuances. The prestige of the rebel army
was broken, never to %recovered, and the
wound inflicted upon the Confederacy was
never staunched until it had bled to death.
But I shall not attempt to give a general
description of the battle, or to enumerate
the many glorious mum that are a part of

thing for the arse, which, as it turned out,
they did not possess. By our victories at
Gettysburg and Vicksburg, the rebellion lost
its prestige in Europe, and all hopes of for
eign intervention.
At the font of the monument aleep the
heroes of the battle. Here lies the Whet;
the husband, the brother, and the only son.
In far-off homes, among the hills of New
England, on the shores of the lakes, and in
the valleys and plains of the West, the
widow, the orphan, and the aged parents
are weeping for these beloved dead. Many
of the tombs are marked "unknown," but
they will all be recognized on the morning
of the Resurrection. The unknown dead
left behind them kindred, friends, and
breaking hearts. None die so humble tau
leave some one to mourn. "Perished at
Gettysburg, in defence of their country,"
nine hundred and seventy-nine men of whose
names, homes, or lineage there la no trace
left on earth. Doubtless the Recording
Angel has preserved the record, and when
the books are opened on the last day their
names will be found in letters of light on
the immortal page of herova.who dial that
their country might live:
ras BRAT RZIMLLION.
In the fields before us are the graves 6f the
rebel dead,now sunk to the level of the plain,
"unmarked, unhonored, and unknown."
They were our countrymen—of our blood,
language; and history. They displayed a
courage worthy of their country and• of a
better cause, and we may drop a tear to
their memory. The newer of this fatal field
carried agony to thousands 'of Southern
'homes, and the wall of despair was heard
in the everglades and orange groves of the
South. Would to God that these men had
died for their country and not in fratricidal
strife, for its destruction. Oh, who =de
scribe the wickedness of rebellioti, or paint
horrors of civil wart
The rebellion was madness. It was the j
1. .Ity of States, the delirium of millions,
brought on by the pendelons influence of ,
hu.nan slavery. The people of the South j
were drunk with the spoils of the labor of
4,000,000 of slaves. They were educated '
in the belief that 'chivalry and glory were
the inheritance only of slaveholders ; that
free institutions and free labor begat cow
ardice and servility ; that Northern men
I were sordid and mercenary, intent only up
on gain and would not fight for their Gov
ernment or principles. And thus educated
and thus believing, they raised their hands
to strike the Government of their fathers
and to establish a new constitution, the
chief corner-stone of which was to be hu
man slavery.
Ttie lust of power, the unholy greed of
slavery, the mad ambition of disappointed
statesmen, impelled the people of the South
to a fearful crime, which drenched the land
with fraternal blood, that has been punish
ed as few crimes have ever been t in this
world, bat out of which, we are ,tatted,
that God, in His providence, will bring
forth the choicest blessings to our country
and to the human race; even as the rarest
flowers spring in profusion from the
graves of the dead Liberty universal,
soon to be guaranteed and preserved
by suffrage universal; the keeping of
a nation's freedom to be entrusted to
all the people, and not to a part on
ly ; the national reproach washed out, In
rivers of blood, it is true; . but the sins of
the world were atoned by tits blood of the
Saviour, and the expiation of blood seems
to be the grand economy of God, founded
in wisdom, to mortals inscrutable. Re
surrection comes only from the grave.—
Death is the peat progenitor of life. From
the tomb or the rebellion a nation has been
born again. The principles of liberty, so
gloriously stated in the Declaration of
In
dependence, had hitherto existed in theory.
The Government had ever been a painful
contradiction to the Declaration. While
proclaiming to the world that liberty was
the gift of God to every human being, 4, -
000,000 of the people were held in abject
and brutalizing slavery, under the shadow
of the national flag. In the presence of
these slaves, profession of devotion to
liberty were viin and hypocritical The
clanking of their chains ascended perpetual
ly in contradiction to our professions, and
and the enemies of republicanism pointed
contemptuously to our .example. But all
this is passed. Slavery lies buried in the
tomb of the rebellion. The rebellion, the
offspring of slavery, bath murdered its un
natural parent, and the perfect reign of
liberty is at hand.
With the ratification of the fifteenth arti
cle, proposed by Ooogress as an amendment
to the Constitution of the United States,
which we have every reason to believe will
soon be completed, impartial suffrage will
be established throughout the land. The
equal rights of men will be recognized, and
the millennium in liberty and government
will be realized, to which our fathers bok
ed forward with hopefulness and joy.
The principles of liberty once planted in
the earth, and ripened into their rich fruits,
will be borne through all the ages, blessing
mankind to the latest generation, even as
the seeds that sown by tins head of God in
Paradise were blown by the winds from
continent to continent, until the world was
clothed with verdure, fruits, and flowers.
The prospect for liberty throughout the
world was never so bright u It is to-day.—
In all civilized lauds the grand armies of
freedom are on their march. And they are
allied armies. Victory to one will give
prestige and confidence to the others.—
With some, progress will be slow ; they ✓rill
encounter disaster and defeat, but will agar's
rally, and go forward to final victory. In
the great campaign of freedom we count, I
not by months, but by decades and genera
tions, in which there will be many a Bull
/inn, many a Gettysburg, and a dual Ap:
pomattoz. The lines of march will 'be
marked by many a cemetery like this, by
the wrecks of fallen institutions and dynas
ties, and by the ruins of hereditary privi
lege and caste.

But everywhere the tendency ot the Ger

and to the recognition of the "equal rights"
of men.
Austria, so long oppremed, reels and re
sponds to the Impulse of liberty.., An in
telligent Emperor, who has net 'Mullis eyes
to what is going on In theworid around him,
perceives that be cannot stem the powerful
current everywhere setting is toward free
institutions, and that the security of his
throne depends upon his conceding to the
people rights and privileges which have
been denied them since Austria was an em
pire, and giving back to Hungary the en
joyment of her ancient constitution.
The abolition of the Concordat, the estab
lishment of religious freedom, the equal
taxation of all classes, are among the hope
ful beginnings of Austrian reform.
Italy, the ancient seat of the power and
glory of the Raman Empire; land of history,

ture, and nunance ; land of "starry climes
and Sentry skies," whose delicious climate,
lofty mountains, and beautiful valleys and
plains have ever excited the admiration of
the traveller and poet, his made great pro
gress in unity and freedom.
bite needy universal, the habeas cor
pus, freedom of religion andfres school', are
some of the principal features of Italian li
berty.
The spirit of liberty Is abroad In Russia—
mighty empire of the North, whose govern
ment has sepresinted the perfect idea of ab
solute despotism—an autocratic power,unre
strained by constitution or law. Au 'en
lightened Czar, animated by, love tot his peo
ple, and perceiving the individual happiness
and material prosperity produced by free
instil abolished slavery throughout
his dominions, made the surfs freemen, and
gave to them local free institutions, based
upon the right of suffrage. It is true the
imperial power still extends over all—a dark,
impenetrable canopy—but beneath its shad
ow there is Individual liberty and local:self
government. Thus far the prosperous result
has establiahed the wisdom of the Czar, and
may we not believe that he km laid the
foundations of a free government, to be de
veloped into a grand republic in the Gs lb
tare ?—and nearer, Into a constitutional
monarchy with representative institution?
Liberty is like living seed; wherever plant
el it vivifies, expands, develops.* Thus
planted in Rusila among the lowan people,
and for local ;nitwits, Itwiligrow, develop,
and finally conquer. Russia Is among the
progressive nations, and Is our friend, and
it was the American attempte which touch
ed the heart and intellect of the Emperor.
The spirit of liberty in lir onward march
has invaded Spain, and Is stirring the great
national heart. We have lalely seen the
great Spanish people firmly, and almost
peacefully and unanimously, despise a
licentious Queen, and declare again* bet
dynasty. We have aeon this people meet
in primary assemblies, and, by suffrage uni
versal, elect a National Cornet which has
for many month', in calm debate, consider

although not republican in Its form, con

We have heard this =dotal assembly de

in the people, thus denyiThetha divine sight

Idea of free Institutions. We hareitherd it
