Mcchauicsburg, Feb, 2d, 1840. Mr. President: — lt is with the utmost degree of diffidence I arise to address this assembly on flic present occasion. This a rises from two causes: first, from my own inability to speak in public; and secondly, from the greatness—die awful magnitude and sublimity of the subject on which I am to speak. For iny imperfections therefore, I hope (hat my youth w ill mitigate the seve rily of criticism. We have assembled, sir; tlli’s'da.yT't* com memorate the birth of our great iimLgood— our immortal statesman, philanthropist and. soldier, lung since consigned to the silence of the tomb; hut still living in the hearts of a grateful people.. There is not.a man who bears an American heart in his'bosqni, who does,not feel an impulse of thrilling ccsfacv at the sound of the name of Washington. Taking a rapid glance over the life .and labors of this-greatest of men, from thecouv mencement to the conclusion of his great military career, we behold him struggling under a series of disheartening circumstan ces, greater than any which ever surround-; ed mortal man; yet, rising triumphantly su- ■ perior to (hem all, and working out by his own arm through the aid of Omnipotence, ; the deliverance of a nation. ■ j We see him at once contending with (he I secret and insidious machinations’ of the to-, l ies, and with the mighty armies of England, hitherto invincible by land and sfca round the world, and led by commanders whose martial renown was unparalleled by (he he roes of ancient or modern times. And to, oppose those powerful armaments our belov ed Gencial moved at the head of a little ar my—a mere handful of men, and even these with few exceptions, consisted of newly rais-: cd troops unaccustomed to the-art of war.— Yet with those men our hero met the armed legions of tyranny, with those he fought and conquered them, laying the British Lion harmless at his feet. But Washington fought not for conquest not for military fame, and he led no mercenary soldiery; no, he and his brave companions fought for liberty, apd they taught the proud Britons that a few men armed in (he holy cause of the rights of man, are not to be subdued by (he mightiest power on earth. We sec our hero with his little army in the days that tried men’s souls, now retreating before the overwhelming forces of-their enemies,and now falling upon by sur prise—we sec their exertions on the heighth of Brandywine, Monmouth, Long Island and Trenton, and many oilier well fought fields, in all, exhibiting masterstrokes of General- 1 ship unequalled in the authentic annals of warfare, and “at last closing his great mili tary services in a hi axe of glory at York-' town in Virginia,, capturing the whole Brit-' 1 ish arniy under the great Cornwallis, (he hero of a hundred battles. This glorious a chievmcnt was the deathblow to. the eue r mics of America aml-closcd the eight years 1 war of the revolution, and humbled. (be haughty pride of tlic enemies of human lib erty. The War Was -now ended, and the. white winged'(Angel of 1 peace returned to our shores. The hostile armies were remo ved—the horrors and devastations l of war 1 ceased—our plains no longer echoed with the shout of battle, and the clangor •of re sounding armres"isWurYiro.rc*heard “dip our ‘ mountains. The citizen soldiers exchange, the weapons of warfare for the more peace-: ful implements of husbandry, and return,to (he cultivation of (he soil, from which (heir country had called- them. Arid now tv gov ernment is tS'bo founded for an. independ ent natipii which* shall secure" towll" the blessings of liberty, for which (hey long had stnlgglcd against British tyranny and op pression. •- Our gfeat commander was tailed I by'the unanimous voice, of his country to preside in her councils. : In this responsible station his duties wpre arduous and difficult in the extreme. This, it is well known,waS the most alarming part iri thc }iistory of our government. Though groat in the.coiin'cil, as hc' liad been great and glorious in the field, .hc.seized the helm; arid through dangerous shoals and rocks,'and whirlpools on every side, conducted the iship of state safely into] port...

It is not, sir, in the power of hu man language, however eloquent, to do jus tice to the character of Washington, The subject is too vast for the human tongue to pourtray—lds name, his. deeds inspire our lieayts wit|y the eloquent of infinite affection, which is far too big for words.” Of him Lord Ei-skine"said, “that though conversant all Ins life with the great est ,of men. General Washington was the only human being whom he ever approached with awful reverence.” Speakirigof Wash ington, Napoleon said “his name, will de scend and be revered in coming time, when ;my name shall be lost in' the vortex of revo lutions.”- How iranscendantly glorious must be the character which could thus draw such praise from, another hemisphere, and from .men national politics held opinions adverse to him. In Ids acts, Fellow Citi zens, you have seen the man; in the compli cated excellence of character hg stamteia- I lone. Compared to Ida (he- faille of Hniii j bal or Csesar, or Scipio of Bonaparte, is as the dust of the balance, In our great, hap py and prosperous country we ran realize the VcsultsoT'belabors—a. country eiijdy ing unequalled blessings_at lumie, amt the i highest national respect abroad. ’ Oui r gold-l on harvests waving over a hundred plains— -1 splendid towns and cities Springing up ashy magic in all directions where but yesterday the earth groaned beneath the weight of the dense lorest; all—all, bespeak our greatness and show the industry,-interprise and Intel* jigcncc of our citizens, and in all these our national-blessings we acknowledge with gra } tiliidc the hand of the founder of our repub : lie. Our commerce is wafted on the bosom of every sea—the star-spangled" banner is I unfurled in the breczesof every clime, and | we are now, able to silence by the thunder ■of American Cannon the insolence of the enemies of liberty of every land. . Of this we have given glorious; proof to the world vin a second struggle with the most gigantic power on earth; as'Champlain, Erie and’N. Orleans, bear ample, witness. Our-country jis emphatically the pride.and admiration of j the friends of human rights qf every country 1 and “formidable only (6 tyrants.” Now, i Fellow-Citizens, let us.never forget to-prov fit by the example and precept of our illus-' I trious commander. He has told you, “that. : on your virtue and intelligence depend (he I duration, of your free institutions”—that, ' “ignoranpo and vice will ever-bc, as they i ever have been, the grave of liberty.” Up even helped us by the dissemination of (his saving knowledge, and intelligence—perpet uate tiie liberties for which lie fought and for which our fathers bled, and to hand them , down unimpaired to our children, and tliqn : to succeeding generations to the latest qf time. Let us never.unshcath our swords until necessity compels, and when once | drawn never return them until the lastenc , my lias been conquered. Or. in (he language of the lamented patriot of modern Greece, “Strike till the last armed foe expires! strike for your altars and your fires! strike for the grceit graves of your sireS, God and your native laud;” or, of the noblc-Emmct,- “dispute every inch of ground, burn every blade of grass, and let the last entrenchment of liberty be" bur grave. 9 ’ If ever an Ame rican soldier or statesman should become sm far prostituted as to be influenced by the emolument of office, he may-read his wcll ineritcd condemnation in the conduct of Washington, who never would receive' a cent for all his services, civilor military. I would like to say riiuch more, sir, hut 1 must close. We have seen our beloved Washington fill up the measure of his country’s glory and of his own imperishable fame. We have seen--hini when the iroiHiand-of-oppression attempted to rivet her tyrannic chains upon the necks of his countrymen, fly in giant strength to the rescue, draw his sword in her~defence; and lie ncver rcliVinccl it, unlil the cnsigns 'of liberty waved over the last entrenchment of tyranny. . Then culled to the Presidential chair, ho was surrounded by hostile interests, and rival politicians’ on every sidg, sometimes more to be dreaded than open'enemies: yet by bis powerful mind he, brought order out of this confusion—re ducing the most discordant elements of o piniun into harmonious -action. Copdticled by his care and watchfulness the government moved on for eight-years with Ihe utmost harmony, when he returned from public life to taste the sp-eets of. retirement.' Yes, he returns to the occupation’of a farmer from which -his,coqntry had.cailcli him. Where shortly after, (in 1789) he l 'closed (lie most useful life that, was ever spent on earth.— Peace to his spirit in elements, where there is fulness of joy and pleasures 1 never ceaSe GEN.

AgaiS Harrison knew that the Indians were near, and hu failed to throw up an entrenchment Inch Jie might at-any time have’ijblie in an hour for protection.

The perspicuity with which these points were made by Gov. C. we are unable to preserve in this important sketch. There isove thing (said he} in regard to that battle which is a • clear as light—-could Harrison have retreate d in safety ha undoubtedly would hive so den . but being surrounded by the enemy he cue! ) not retreat. History tells us„that when the morning” sun shone on Tippecanoe, nut a dead Indian was found on the ground. Is that common.' He would ask whether it was a common re sult ol an Indian battle in this western coun try f Fur from it. He had himself seen and been.the participator in Indian battles, but • lie never saw on* after which dead Indians vvera not found on the ground. Where nca; do to.eftnd General Harrison ?

Winchester, when lie sidered, him as standing in his way on 'the line of promotion! liia object was to get ■possession of the northwestern army. W hcra .was Harrison when General Winchester sus tained that dipfent at the River Raisin? I answer he was in the rear, a favorite position of his, where he has always-been found in the' hour of peril. He had retreated to Chillicothe,. leaving our stores and ail our means of wai fare at Ins enemy’s mercy—and it was there that he received that beautiful present of which you have ail heard.

Harrison ‘‘we have-determined to defend this post, and by Heaven we car.;” — whereupon Harrison, in his safe quarters, raised Ins hands and exclaimed;‘7/ic Hood be upon hig(Croghn)i’s) own head I wash my hands of it! Gen. Harrison is said never to have sus tained a defeat. I would like if anj' one could point out to me the place where he ever fought a battle. lie never fought a battle—he had no inclination to fight—"re treat” seems alivays to have been ins favorite word. Me commanded the forces that fought the baffle of tho-Thames, hut-we never hear him mentioned as the Hero of that battfe--- he sent Col. Johnson to fight it. It is a matter of no'surprise that a man who never fought a bailie should never have sustained a defeat. Gen. Harrison was always more distin guished for writing letters and getting cer tificates than for any, thing edge. Ilow did he obiain.those certificates? Whenever any part of his large force would have a brush . with (hoenomv, he would call his subalterns round him anil say "Come my good fellows, have not I acted nobly?'
