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

of the earth.
This rude assault up--ri the life of the
nation at tir-t appall--1 it. But m tbe

the significance of this beautiful memorial
si-rv ict
Wh n we take a glance ha- „ d wn
along the ages of the j it, and endeavor
t - learn something of the progress and de
velopment "f our humanity, we are sur-
PNSWL to #eo how S'K-W its growth. 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"

An imaginary line extending from ocean j
to ocean *oj arating tho southland from the 1
r,->rthlnnd. would have required gr-at
i hostile arrni-s to guard and would have ),!
, to interminable conflict and war.
But the valor ol the ujrion soldiers and ;
' patriotism of the people have saved u
from experieni ing the great evils an-) j
ralamities that would have followed rn the I
wake of tho dismemberment and destruc
tion of the t'nion. 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. Let -
us then ever regard it a* a grand privilege
a* well a* a sacred dutv to commemorate !
the patrlotitm and valor of our heroic I
dead. 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. L'-t us
endeavor to exalt Aun-r.- ari - ituenship to
a standard o high ar.-l noble, that no - or
