This day we feel an aug- Mented . glow of the living and unquencha ble fire, of , patriotism burning - in our breasts; and iye altnost feel our years to he renewed, and to be marching 'to the tune of Yankee Dbodle, to repel aggress ion .or invasion, at 'the call'of 'our' beloved country. Yes, I know - full' well, from what I See in you and feel myself, that if " the eye had grown dim, and the natural, force had - not *abated," it would be our pride mod-our glory to meet that foe who should dare invade or trespass l'on our - . rights. But : domestic, cares and toils, and the' pcinderouss weight pf 'three score years and .ten,.have - consumed in us' the vigor and endirrance of the -- soldier, leav ing little , else of the man than the wreck, with the fire - of patriotism, yet burning bright, and pl'eaf, f.o warm us and to. illu mine our.pathWay as We . march along to the', close elite. I We have not met,this day to_ display theirophies ofvictory taken from a daring: and Vanquished foe, 'amid seas of blood and' carnage, neither -to sh6w ghastly scars of wound's received in the lield of battle, nor-to exhibit garments rolled in . blood and pierced with balls and missiles of an enemy. None Of these haves we come out to shoW; but the fault 'is mine. of ours. The enemy fled at our approach andlook Shelter and security on board his ships, to'avoid da c tiger and save his qUes tionable honor for, some future day and less dangerous occasion. Like the cow ardly and (xirniverous wort; the enemy prowled aloud our coast in search of some vulnerable point, harbor or unprotected place, where he could ravage . at will and out of danger.' Yes follow soldiers, we left our 'homes and. every kindred tie beliiiid--- . you for Danville,or!some other place, and I for New London. - What you particularly endured Ido not know, except, as you were 'soldiers you were subjected . to sol dier's fare, Which is 'always • hard..

Some evacinited . dwelling, a barn or. open shed was our quarters • the softest oak board in' the floor which we could !select was theliedstead, and the knapsack and blanket constituted the bed. During one rainy night, to Shelter me from the drerul ing Storm, I:was forced 'to try for repose and,rest on the'coarse ross-side ota'sheet of chestnut bark laid over the stahlethe .only place in the whole barn that was not_ 'preViously occupied. I often changed sides and - wished for sleep to conic °Ver me, and in vain; and the next morning I arc* to assume my duty with deep inden tations in my flesh caused by the coarse bark; ugly to the view and painful to feel. rwas in no degree . refreshed or rested; but nearer sick-than well, yet 'I complain ' ed -hot:—l was a soldier in the defence of my Country's rightS- and honor ; Our provisions were always coarse and not always even. .tolerable in kind, and as we often changed - place, our provisions were consequently changeable in 'quantity !as well as-in quality. Good wheat flour and cold Water made awfully hard journey cakes, hard outside and of a greenish hue within, reqUiring a Herculean stomach to digest them; to say nothing of what the edge-of the 'stomach should have been to wage a successful encounter on such hard ! looking bread. ' Our beef was generally of the leanest and toughest .kind, and as. salt; I was about to say, as Lot's wife.-: And, to cap the climax; it was not at all times of the quadrnped that wears horns, cheWs the and 'parts- the hoof!

MOTT.R.QSIE,'PA; -THURSDAY, JANUARY: 31;1861.: platies• she had made upon our soil to, - be retina: Each headland and' harbor show the- liiimistalceable . signs of increasing wealth and'happiness.l Our vessels gated.F,every sea--our sailors 'traded at almoSt every port; and returned .1 with' the honorable rewards of lone,St industry,— All tlii time we had been- rapidly increas ing in strength, numerically and financial ly ; "and England seeing all this, and never licruphlous about 'employing base and dis- . honorablemeani for self-interest and:self aggrandizethent, took every advantage of our merchant-men that she any way nould, and of an unjust, treaty, artfully and de singed l - gotten up .toharras,s - our people and to :blightour naticinarprosperity. - She virtually_ nullified the spirit of her .own constitution, which, in the - language of .Curran,. proclaims "Universal Emancipa tion;" by alleging that a man born on Eng lish or Irish soil could not sever all those ties that served to Connect him• with the land of his birth, and connect himself with some other country. Whose constitution and laws are more Congenial with his Views% and feelings without the danger of being seized:, if away from home, as a fugitive; and forced away frOm his family and eve ry thing of earth for which man cares to live,and without the niost distant proba bility of a return. 'Peas" Wand. "horns" were the shiboleth, and " all who could not franie to pronounce" it In Yankee --who pronounced " pais" and. "'erns'.' were claimed as Irish and Eng lish. men, and' were ordered ,unceremoni ouslyrtO "goon board the bait" to fight for the British king. • . - - Many such cases had occured on board of our - merchant-vessels, for which the, stipulated right, by treaty, to' board our ships and search for contraband geods, gave the opportunity, if it was mit the di rect pretext. Our' people beheld such'. wanton cruelty and outrages with horror. Their hearts dilated with mingled sympa thy and indignation; 'and, if England' had limited. her outrages of impressment to those who gave the signs of-English and Irish birth, the turpitude and baseness of the act would not have appeared . as wan tonly' and maliciously aggressive; And might have been, and 'Vrobably would have been, borne with mach less imps deuce and 'national resentment. But in solence, like other sins, is progressive. In-' suit and outrage had been perpetrated So often that the boldest kind of insolence prevailed—so much so_ that • our own na tive citizens were not safe at sea or in for eign ports. Under fals'e pretences, the protections of Our semen . were regarded as being little. better, , nominniln-thark thin marks of fugitives and 'vagabonds on the high seas; . and they . had. been and often were, without any pretext given, foribly taken from them and destroyed on ship:board and by press-gangs; in port, and then pressed into British service: And, to give outrage entire culmination brother was compeled to fight against his natural brother, and to .commit vie- Fence and insult fipon our national flag, TA GLORY OF' ANI) TIIEI SAlL on's PRIOR, and by afhiat4iiis the ackno wl et! passport . for the • seamen of free Amer ica on every•ocean and sea. 'These law 'less inipressments and other outrages had been committed until, it' I recollect cor rectly, more than a tbOuiand of our sailors had been impressed, and were. known to be held to service on board British men of-war. . It was against those :Os of-wanton ag gression that we complained. Congress and the constituted authorities had ex .postuleto, entreated and forborne until forbearance had ceased to be a virtue. When nearly every expedient compatible with national honer had been tried to ob tain indemnity andredress, and in vain, there remained but one act of two to be consummated,_ viz ;—Either to wage open war with the enemy, and thus sustain our national dignity, honor and pride; or to submit tamely to pvery aggression and in sult.; and. let the tee bury tis in ignominy; turpitude and time -enduring shame. - • • Itwas on the 18th day - Of June,lBl2, war Was-formally 'and absolutely eclared against-Great Britain ; and it was in an 80er to our 'coentry's call that we assum ed the - armour of the soldier-and endured the hardships, of the camp, to,protect our citizens from , insult ap . diOutrage—our common 'country fromNyasinn and rapine —and to. obtain an hone le redress for' wrongS already committed. But war was not declared with the vain hope of con quering Britain-and of reducing hey to a colony, or of annexing her as a State; nei therctri did'we expect to make conquest of Canada to eplarg out territory—but it was our design to ght for our honor and li ' those rights whit we had received 'as a ' legacy from Hear n—to strike whensoev er and wheresoev r we could reach the foe; and to repea our blows and to. con tinue the conflict t whatever 7 hazard or sacrifice, until the enemy should - under stand: and acknow edge-that 'we had rights as well .as.be,. and had valor and ability to defend them. . It was withlie •is and- with armies of tried veterans, Britain came hovering o'er our. coast, threatening invasion at access ible p'oints—threitteuing, - as it were, to ravage _oar country. and to destroy us with one fell swodp ; unconscious of the fact that thirty ye6es of peace had greatly augmented our 'resources and national strength; and 6t the, sacred fire,of pat riotism had never ceased to burn, neither 1 , to grow dim, on t e altar consecrated to freedom.- We m t the-audacious- and dar- jog foe, with unshaken confidence- in the rectitude of our cause& and 'proud, haugh ty England Was ioim taught to under- 1 stand,.to her sorrow had . dismay, that I nothing of the valor of our fathers had been.lost in tut; 'and that as valiant• men we neither dreadd no 'feared to, make bare our bosoms to the shafts of battle in the defense of cull- country, our.ilaws and our rights—that with justice andthe Gpd of the Universe arid of armies- on our side; we feared not. to face the -most 'gigantic fOe on_ caith.': -- , Mell, we -often :mkt the enemy, in vari ous wayS UtictutuTer • various circumstaii tes,-and, in, the, i anguage of the gallant, Perry, "be-was- Ars." -- Each gale from the-North and --I West bore to our grateful ears the Cheeringaccess of our arms ;„ and Ei. the distant shore of Erie and Champlain.

' I might condescend to .particularize if irciiiiistarices _required' and time would permit. . It, is 'enough to-say in, conclusion on this tepic.that, on this day; 46 years ago, at New Orleans, Great . Britain -re ceived thOmolit humiliating. bloar that in ,nll her-wars she had before been doomed to'feel. This day was then and there con secrated, and .to -victory. dedicated, to stand out prominent in our annals and also those of. Britain, to our.-glory and pride, but to her dismay and humiliation, till the. pages of histortaful fame shall be reme dissly buried, amid the -wreck . of fallen ern. pines. Aye; each Americrin will remem ber, on each return of this consecrated day, for ages to come, and; Brit'n, too, will remember as well how like .a . vuilty .and Whipt spaniel her soldiery retire in dinuaY from the.field of slaughter, (the second,'-Yorktown of - America,) loaded, with woe, guilt and shame, in the stead of the unrighteous trophies of "'reality and booty - ,7 - pronounced by her general who 'had fallen in the battle,..a sacrifice 'o prom ised abomination. - That.. was -a, victory without a . parallel daring that war, and it was regarded as the harbinger-of peace. A dire misfortune it was to England, as to the sacrifice of property, life and hon or, that -the olive , branch of peace, which sooh after crossed the Atlantic, had not arived in time .to pre - vent. . , , Having taken a transitory review of the war of 1812, and the incidenta . and . hardships of the soldiery,. allow me 'noric if you please, to make an other review, by way of comparison, to show more clearly. and conclusively how we,soldiers of that war, stand pecuniarily reated to our gov . - eminent, and what we have an nnquestion, able right, riot merely to ask, but to e . x-. 'pest as being-justly- due to us for hardships borne and services • rendered. . . It is recorded in Matthew 10-10, ' The workman is worthy of his'mCat'—in 'Luke 10-7,.' The laborer is worthy Of his hire, and in Ist Timothy, 5-18, ' The laborer is worthy of his reward.' Now it is Mani feSt froth these passages and their conte:l - .03, that stipulated wares is not intended, but a just and honorable reward for:services to be rendered, in Connection with atten ding hardships and, trials. G entleinen, as sohliers in the defense of our country, we Were prompt to attend ht every' „call, and faithful iu. every duty; and we \ deeni it neither, arroganeo nor otxoti.'m to ma v, -‘"‘" deserve an appropriate reward. We sere not hirelings—we did not serve for i . ;ay:. it was a case of compulsion and not of h greenient ; we were , cyphers in the eotri pact ; and therefore there was no agree ment If the love of country and latred of cowardice had not drawn us out to face the enemy, the -strong arm of national poWer would Have ecmpeled us. Eight dollars per month were given us—not by agreement or hire Tor there bad' been none —it was merely abounty by law held out in advance and nothing more. A - reward even then, we had a right to expect—we NOW have and even More—TO CLAIM, as that claim has not teen canceled. -• 'Supposing you-were now, fellow soldiers in the prime. of life, mid n 9 enemy were threatening invasion, Would any , of you assume camp duty for 26 cents per day . ? Let your answer be given. (Nct, by many voices.] Would you for ten times That ' sum 82.061. [Answer, no,by many] Let truth and justice decide the question,which is most liontzrable, in the most honorable employment, arid most deserves a just . re ward,-he avho legislates for hid country in the tithe of War, or he who hazards life, his earthly all in. his connery'd t defence.— The soldier,', by many voices.] Who will take it upon himself to saw that the i verriest musketer or drummer; s less hon orable and his services lesS meritorious? Height dollars' per diem is riot above ade quacy—and I would not even insinuate that it is—how stands' twenty-six cents and six m'lls per day,-for ,the soldier, on the scale of comparison ? If to be ss sol dier , is not a stigma—if it does not : corn pro,* or fritter' away the dignity of the freeman .- and citizen—if the life andilepri vatiotis of the soldier merit the honors of his country, and his services deserve,a: re ward, can'the above trifle, with sincerity, be regarded as sueh? - Can it •be either honorable or 'commendable for any govern ment that would requite the.soldier with a reward so-trivial ? , Let us make another review of the pic ture without invidiousness'of feeling; And it will bear many, and often.
