Love, Ksq., who spoke in the court house in the evening' at 71 o'clock, and said in substance : CoMKAIiKK, LAI'IK* AM' FJKNTI.KMKN Nearly a quarter of a century has elapsed since our country, lulled by the siren songs ol peace into an almost fatal security, was startled by war s dread alarm. The firing upon Fort Sumter, April 12, IM.I, was the stern declaration that war, with all it horrors and sacrilh . i had been begun upon the most benign and liberal government ever vouchsafed to man. It heralded the fact that the great American Republic, the only true republic on earth, was to pass through its greatest and probably its last ordeal (or the | re •■rva tion • f lis existence . that republican form of government with it- Me inn's of civil an l religious liberty, wu- to experience the severest throes and agonies of a gigantic civil wit-, in order to test in right to a continui i plu >- among the great nation? of the earth.

We are pained to 1- arn that almost every j si live advance in our < hristianity and civil ization ha* been markw] by violent strug gle an-1 bloodshed The blessing* of liberty, peace, prosperity an-1 happiness enjoyed by the civilized na tions of the world are the result of great c -st and sacrifice. The great problem of human government and man * happiness ha* been or,c of the vexed questions of all time. For ages the idea prevailed that men were made to lw governed instead of governments being tua-l- f--r men. Hence the divine right of king* and the right of the few to govern the many constituted the cardinal principle* upon which gov ernments were based. The arbitrary will an-1 expressed command of the autocrat were the law of the land, and the subject enjoyed no right but that of obedience. The life, liberty and property of the people were held subject to the caprice and pleas ure of despotic kings an-1 ruler*. The hitory of the world i repleto with revolu tion and counter revolution, the conflict of nation against nation, and the constant struggle of our humanity to free itself from the universal thraldom in which it wa* held by the despotism of one man power. And while ambition* conqueror*, petty tyrant* and feudal detpot* were enabled the more effectually to *way the sceptre of absolute power over their enlave<] subject* by leading them aimoit incessantly upon bloody field* of battle, yet it was by the very art of war thai the people were taught the might and power of (heir own strength, and learned tbe weak no** and futility of that of tho king, and In due time to demand their recognition a* men and citizen* of the commonwealth. It wa* the tyranny and ppre*alon of Briton's rule that forced the exile of our pilgrim father* from their native land, and rauaed them to brave the stormy aea* and hazard life in quest of civil and religious liberty. The rugged wild* of America afforded a safe retreat from opprwaion'a band, and furnished the boon they sought. The freedom of its mejestlc foreeto, fllled alikci with inorry and happy songsters, wild beasts and rude nvgi)K, stimulated their ambitious desire lor entire freedom from tyrunnical rule. A* they grew in numbers, strength and power, organized colonies and local govern mollis, tloy he came thoroughly imbued with tho idea that all governments should derive their jtl-l power* from the consent of the gov erned. And when the mother country in tlio exorcise of despotic power sought to ignore the right of tho subject to a voice i in government, and attempted t" impose , arbitrary and opprc -iye legislative bur i don* upon the colonies without th' ir con sent, they arose in the might and majesty . of th.-ir freedom and manhood and de dared that the lima had come in the his tory of the nations, that the manhood of ' mail should be recognized in government, > and that men should constitute th.- slat" Louii the XIV of Franc: wa loii-l to proclaim,'-I am tne .State 1 1 | "\\ I *r . ■ t•* t i f; t • m M Nt his ll lAMI-'I t-ssttl.

When the war wa over and the roar of cannon and rattle ol ; musketry had given place to the songs of , peace and shout* of vietorv the nation re. juiced and wa* glad that peace had wreathed her chain* round u f,-rover.

If we would ennoble and honor tho present, exalt and secure the future gran deur and grealnes* of our country, let tia not forget the honor and heroism of the pa*t. A* well might we expect Christianity to continue to spread her wing* of healing among the nation* of the earth, to pene trate the -lnrkne of hralhendom with tho light of tho sun of righteousne**. causing ignorance, superstition and the errot* of sin and folly to yield to her benign influ ence and bring all jveojile* beneath the sceptre of her mild sway, by wiping out of her creeds of faith an<i effacing from her sacred memories the great sacrifice ma-la upon Calvary, a* fo expect to preaerve the continued greatne*s and glory of our coun try, by burying in the profound oblivion of forgetfulneas the great sacrifice* and heroic struggle* it required to establish and preaerve ua a free, prosperous and united people. While wo regard and honor the past let ui not overlook tbe obligations of tho & J i present, nor be unmindful of tho require ment* of the luturo. While tho rainbow of jK-a. e Mparts the continent, and prosperi ty und happiness abound everywhere, and we may regard ourselves secure against armed !->- either foreign or domestic, yet as a nation we are rapidly approaching a period in our history when more subtle arid insidious foes may undermine the fab ric of our government and warn us to bo on our guard. \\ e are fa-t becoming a wealthy and luxurious pe. j „,,,} wealth 1 ' and luxury rising with them corrupting arid enervating influences, which tend to engender class distinctions, and a arte sri society that h-a-l to d -on tent and lends to corrupt the virtues of the Mtizeri.
