to praise Thee lor all Thy goodness to us
in all the years ot the century just passed.
We thank Thee that Thou hast go directed

LAND OF LIBERTY.
All bail Columbia's sons, alt hail.
Let gladsome shouts of joy prevail ;
The spirit of seventy-six a lint
Bums in each breast and can't expire.
And you, lair dauphin of the land,
Burst !'or:u iu strains sulibmeaiid grand!
1 1 shunt to-day ! be glad to-day !
This is the l-and of Liberty.
The birthday of our aation's come,
In splendor far exceeding K.nne ;
Aim! Atueu's beauties w hat are they.
Compared to this our Testal day ?
1'ine of the North, break forth In song,
Palm of the South the strain prolong ;
CI shoot aloud from sea to Sea,
"This is the 'Land of Liberty.' "
Ye storms aud tempests weep the ground
And bowing spread disasters round ;
Ye wave inouut up and wash the sky.
Then dipping, sweep the ocean dry ;
Ye belittlings flash, ye thunder roil,
And shake the earth from pole to MiIe ;
Ye earthquakes heave both laud and sea,
This is the Laud ol Liberty.
This Freedom's land we call onr own,
Wrem-bed from the tyrant of a Ihrone ;
Ye Titans brave, guard and defy,
"Trust God and keep yoor powd'er dry,"
For this ia freemen ' Una alone,
We know one Lord no oiber own.
To none we bow a suppliant knee, '
I a thi proud Land ol Liberty.
Ye lightning dive tba Atlantic's wave,
Tell Europe's lords and nobles brave,
Kacb nuud's a kingdom of its own.
Possessed of scepter, crown ami Ufroiie;"
All born free on Freedom's sod,
.x'niui "bora to rale by the grace of God;"
All lords and nobles here are we
Id this great Land of Liberty.
Then freemen, shout once more nor fear,
The wondering nations pause lo hear,
In every clime in all the zones,
Fell mouarcbs tremhle in their thrones.
Ye nation, who in bondage are,
Unused to freedom, used to war,
Asnn.ler bunt your bond", aad be
Like m, an winds of morning--ret.

The committee appoiutcil tq make ar

me one nunurcuut oiriuuay oi mat
mythical jierson, "I'ncle Sim," have re
pieled me lo "prewrr and read a history
of Somerset County .' What was meant
by the invitation I am unable to guecs, lor
certainly the ineiubers of that commit
tee are geutlemen of too much good sense
to imagine that a history of the "Eagle's
-Nest ol i'ennsylvania could be written In
the small

has in six w
not aware of the Herculean proportions
ot the task. I am, and having, to use a
vulgarism ot the duv, "been there, know
whereof I speak. It is with extreme re
gret, therefore, that I am compelled to an
nounce to you that mere uas iieen no bis
lory of Somerset County written for this
Centennial celebration.
Kegretting then my inability to lully
comply with the request of the committee.
I have taken the liberty to substitute in
place of the history a numlier ot historical
tacts. They are not as numerous as 1 de
sire they should 1m-, or doubtless as you
expect them to lie, lnit many of them I
feel assured will le of interest to this my
partial and in nowise too critical audience.
"Such as I have, give I unto thee."
This county wa fiu merly -mhracctl ut
Bedford county, Ironi which it was taken
i... n . ,.e t 1. 1.. i-.i. a..;i
iiiv an ma oi .i-mviiiiuT oi i t hi jiii,
IT'.t.i. The act provided "that all that
!lartof Bcdlord u.untylym-andlKiu
to
l the westward of a liue to be drawn al ing
the top of the Allegheny mountains from
where the Maryland linecruhselh the same
to where the line of Huntingdon county
jcrosseth the same mountain, shall lie and
J the same is hereby declared to 1 erected
i into a county henoelorth to lie Killed Som
erset. '
The an a of the county is one thousand
and fifty square miles. It is situate be
tween the Allegheny and Laurel Hill
mountains, and its surface is of an undu
lating character, consisting of high hills,
lertilu valleys and grassy glades, aud lies
at an altitude of about 2,000 feet. The
lands in the glades and valleys and on
many of the mountain sides is very rich
and productive, and a ill coniaro favora
bly w ith any farming land in the Slate.
Bound on the north by Cambria, on the
east by Bedford, on the south by Mary
land, and on the west by Fayette and
Westmoreland. The lowest grade over
the Alleghenies as well as one of the high
est points ol thai chain arc wiihin its
limits.
The county is almost a solid bituminous
mountain, at least two-thirds ot its entire
area coiitainiug coal, three-filths iron ore,
one-fourth lire-clay, oue-halt limestone
and biliy one third contains all lour in
juxtaposition. me halt ol its area is
clothed with lorests, numbering among
their growth almost every variety of timber
known (o n mountainous country. Among
the richest coal Uusins are the Elkliek, the
Buffalo and North Fork.
The citizens-o! Ihe county are chiefly of
German descent, and Pennsylvania dulch
is the prevailing language. The agricul
tural products are wheat, rye, oats, buck
wheat, potatoes and sugar. The manufac
turing interests are far Irom lieing numer
ous, and are btmlier, w hiskey, leather,
woolen goods,- &.C. The development ol
the county was unusually slow- until the
completion of the Counellsville railroad
in the fall of 1?T0, since when a large
number of mines have been opened and
numerous mills erected, until our coal and
timber trade bids lair to become one ot the
most ini)orL-int in the Slate. There are
remains of three ancient tortilicalions iu
the southwestern part ol the county that
have nttracted a great deal of attention
and reused much spcculaMion as to their
origin. They are known as Skinner's,
McClintook's and Jennlug's forts. The
memory of man runneth not to the time
of their construction.
The first riad opened in the county was
made by General George Washington in
1751. This road crossed the southwestern,
corner ol the county near the town of
Petersburg. Braddock's army passed
along the same road in IT.jo.
In 17."iS Colonel Boiiuel, on his road to
Fort Duque ne, penetrated the w ilderness
in tie northern part ol the county and
constructed a fort where Stovslow n now
stands, and it is thought that what is
known as Miller's Breastworks, al the top
oi the Allegheny mountains, were thrown
up at the same time. The colonial re
cords speak ol the garrison al Moystown
Itemg called into Bcdlord at the lime ot
Ponliac's invasion in 17(ki.
Alsmt 170!) a ntimlierof settler made
their apiiearance in the clades at the pre
sent sue ol Somerset, Previous to that
time, however, a numlier of hunters had
had their cainvs here, Mr. Husliamrs, in
his annals ol .Somerset county, tells us
that the names of these hunters were
Sparks. Cole, Penrod. White, Wright and
(ox. The settlement increased rapidly
until lull, when news of the Boston tea-
party, the ltattlc of Lexington and that
stirring event w hich we are met here to
day to-celebrate, the passage ot the Declar
ation of Independence reached the settle
ment, when a nl'c company was formed
under the command of Captain Iiichard
Brown and marched Last to the scene ol
hostilities. Just after the massacre at
Hannastown, Westmoreland county, in
17S'2. the settlement was almost entirely
de-serted. Alter the treaty of peace with
re-at Britain, a majority of the old set
llcrs returned, bringing with them many-
new ones. 1
The Berlin or Brolhcrsvalley Settlement
was cotemisiraneous with that ot Nimer
set. 1 he llrst settlers were Palatinates,
but their names have not la-en preserved.
A larse number of Mennonite families
moved into the sWtlehient in liHO. A
tract of land, around the borders of the
Stonycreek. was patented in the name of
Jacob Keller lor the use or the Lutheran
and Calvanislie congretations. The Iract
was christened Pious Springs, and in 1773
the present town of Berlin was laid out on
it 1 he first deed on record in the cotintv
ii from Ktlii r anil Glcssner to Abraham
Miller. Esq., for lot No. 5(1 in the town of
Berlin. The deed bears date of April 3d.
17!i, and was entered on the 20thof June,
17'Jj. The consiJef4tioa paiil by Miller
was 'i shillings nqd an annual ground
rent ot one Sjianish milled dollar, to be
paid on the 1st Monday of June in each
year for the use of the Lutheran and Cal
VanUtic congregations and for the use of a
school or schools fbr said societies. When
the town was laid out the congregations
took the lots alternately, i
The early history of Meversdale betrins
with 17K5, when Andrew Berndreger baik
up the trae-tof landution which thecreateL
i.v u u - fcv. I
part of the town
stelv commenced clearing the land, and in
17H'j built a small grist mill '.ipn the
banks of the Flaugberty, wLich was
probably the first mill built within the
present limits ot tho county. The Elk
lick or Salisbury settlement elates back to
1700, and was commenced by two men
named Tissue and Markley. These men
owned all of what is now 'known as Elk
lick and part of Summit tow nships. Mar
kley settled on the Eirm now ow ned by
John J. Keim. The town of Salisbury
was laid out by JosepbJMarkley on the 15lli
day of April, 17W. Douglas Baker was
the surveyor.
The earliest surveys made iu the counly
liear date of June, 17G7, and were made
in Southampton Tp.
As has been said, ihecounty was organ
ized bv act of Legislature of the 17th of
April," 17115. On ihe 21st of December
ot tbe same year, the hrst eocrt was held
in a room in the old ebster tavern in

birthday of our own beloved government,
the great and mighty Republic of the l ui
ted Slates of America.
Anallwise providence has voucbaafed
to us the inestimable privilege of witness-
iug iue CHise oi me urst aun tue oeinning
of the second century of the Republic, and
we would lie untrue to ourselves, untrue
to our country, untrue lo jHisicnty, u we

orate the virtues, the wisdom, Ihe bravery,
and glory of the men of the Revolution,
who laid the foundations of this temple ol
human ficcdom. bill also do all honor to!
the brave deeds and glorious achievmcnfs
ol the men who prevented its overthrow
by foreign, as well as domestic foes.
One hundred years ago ihe people of
thirteen colonies ol the r.mpiru ol Ureal
Britain, scattered along the Atlantic const
from Passumatpuaddy Bay to Charleston
Harbor, poor in everything except in their
strong arms and stout hearts, had en
gaged in a conflict with the Government
of Great Britain, f w liberation from her
power and wilh a determination to estab
lish an indciendcnl government. They
hail sent their representatives to meet in
Congress at Philadelphia, and lliey were
engaged there in deliberating upon the
mighty issue in which they were about to
Slake their lives, their fortunes, and their
sacred honors. It was a remarkable liody
or men then aud there assembled. They
bad brought wilh them every ejualification
requisite lo the task in w l.i !i tbey were
engaged. There were statesmen of broad
and enlarged views, ready to cope witu
the must accomplished diplomats ol the
most polished courts of Europe ; orators
whose splendid fiery elixiutnce has never
been surpassed in any age or any country,
even in the best days of Athenian, Roman
or English eloquence ; there were soldieis
who, in their splendid ellorfs in behalt ol
human freedom, were to equal the bril
liant exploits ot a Marlborough, a Comle, a
Tarenne After a stormy and protract jtl
session they at length reached a conclu
sion, and signed the immoital Declaration
of Independence, which has just been read
in our hearing to-day, w hich was ollk ially
given to the people tu a few days there
after, and the old bell on the Stale House,
in which they were assembled, began to
peal out Us welcome notes to the multi
tude, and "liberty was proclaimed through
out all the land unto all the inhabitants
thercol."
Of the protracted struggle which ensued.
it is wholly unnecessary, even if time
would permit me, to speak to-day. The
contest ended at Vorktown, by the over
throw ot the British forces aud the recog
nition ot the Independence ol the I'niled
Slales of America. The work of organiz
ing a government billowed, and alter a
futile attempt to carry out the confedera
tion, the union of slates was finally es
tablished by the adoption of tlm federal
Constitution of 177. and from that time
lo the present day, Ihe government of the
l otted Mates has been an mi!Kirtant, yea
one of the foremost (lowers aiming Ihe na
tions of the earth.
And now to ilav, my fellow-citizens, as
we arc aliout to commemorate the grind
event which has given Irec.lom to forty
millions of people, and which is destined
ultimately b give lreedom to the whole
human family, our minds are carried back
lo that wonderful drama in human histo
ry, which began on the p!ain9 of Lexing
ton and endett at Yorktown : to the actors
concerned In it,. Ibeir character, tueir
aims and purposes, the work which lliey
did; and then we are led to look with won
der and admiration at the results which
have followed from their efforts in the
cause of human freedom.
In the first place they were men eif no
ordinary stamp They were the descend
ants ot men who had iled from the mother
country because ot the oppression they
. . . r.i. .i .. ...I... i. , ... i
met Willi lilt-re, ami w no, in oriier to nave
the right to enjoy that full mc-asnre of
liberty, civil and religions, which was re-
tused them at home, deserted the land ol
their nativity, left behind ihem all the
scenes ot their childhood that were en
dearing to them, embarked with Ibeir
families uikiu the stormy deep, and eventu
ally landed upon the inhospitable shores
of the then new world. They came with
a high and mighty purpose, which was
destined to overcome all oltstaclcs and
dangers ol whatsoever kind, whether upon
the billowy deepwhether npon the bleak
and inhospitable shores of a new world, or
from tbe assaults of the wild man of the
forest
"There were men wit Jjary Lair
Amidst that pilgrim band.
Why had tbey come to wither there,
Away from their cluldhooU s laud '.
"There was woman's fearless eye,
Lit by her deep love s truth :
There was manhood's brow, serenely hih,
And rne nery Heart ut youth.
'What sought they thns afar,
liripht jewels of ihe mine?
The wealth of seas? The spoil of war?
They sought a faith's pure shrine 1
'Ay, call it holy pronnd,
'the soil where nrsl they trod.
They have left unstained what there they
louiid
Freedom to worship God '."
In spite of all the adverse circumstance
which surrounded them a barren soil, a
climate which at first was very destructive
ot human I lie, the dangers of the wild man
and the wild beast, the absence of aid and
comfort from tbo mother country they
grew and prospered, uutil finally they 1-
t-ame the subjects ol oppressive legislation
ou the part of the British Parliament,
which undertook to tax them for the pur
pose of raising the revenues of the crown.
Then it was that the spirit of resistance
began. The people began to speak out,
and distinct utterances of patriotic feeling
were beard in Boston, at Mecklenburg,
North Carolina ; liannahstown, Pennsyl
vania ; and in tbe House of Burgesses in
Virginia. The original settlers of this
country bad brought with them that stur
dy spirit of English liberty, which, for the
past six hundred years, ba been resisting
the encroachment of the Kingly preroga
tive. That spirit which, on the plains of
Itonnymede, wrested Magna Charts
from King John ; that spirit which brought
Charles I. to the block, and made tbe Com
monwealth of Ebgland under Oliver Crom
well : that spirit which placed William of
Orange on the English throne ; that spirit
wnicn seenrea tue retirion or i;:gnt, tne
writ of Habeas Corpus, the Bill of Bights,
aud all those safeguards of the English
aw, which are thrown around tbe charac
ter, the person, and tbe property of every
ubject lu tbe Hntisn tuipire ; mat spirit
which only needed a broader field of action
wlncu to accomplish miuhtier deed I
than it had ever done in tbe past. And
here an opportunity was given. The short
sighted policy of tbe ministers of King
George impelled them on in their course of
oppression, in spite of the remonstrance of
some or tne most brilliant and gifteil men
in the Jhuelish Parliament, until at lenptb
th Puritans of 2icw England, the Cava
lier of Old Virginia, the Quaker and Ger
mans or Pennsylvania, aud the Dutch of
New York all aaited in tliat wonderful
declaration of ibeir independence, iu which
they declared, that "we hold these truths
to be self-evident, that all men are created
free, that tbey are endowed by their Crea
tor with certain inalienable rights, among
which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness," aud that "these colonies are
and of right ought to be tree aud independ
ent states,"
What a noble declaration of principles
is this! What a grand purpose and high
aim nml have animated the breast of
hi who could have conceived such noble
entineata, and have resolved in main
taining fhem to stake their all I There
is nothing like it on tbe page of recorded
history. Alexander the Great carried hi
phalanxes over the world, conquering
proyinea after province aod kingdom after
kingdom, and after the whole wyrld was
subjugated, vrept because there was bo
other world to conquer. Johns Csar
crossed the Bu.bipou and. marched with
bis invincible iepions upon Borne, o that
he might be crowned with tbe imperial
diadem aad dad ia tbe royal purple.
Napokwa Bonaparte upset tlie reigning
bonsea of nearly all Europe, ami tossed
their crowns to Bis relatives as so many
bauble, himself aaaaaiing the Imperial
: K't benifs of tlm
world. It was nut
mere personal aiubiliou that controlled the
men of tuo Kevoiution : it was a desire to
establish a goverinueut upuu great princi
ples, whit k would redound W the wfcllare
and happiuess of the piple. The state
mtui o: their grievances ami their declara
tion of iuileH hdeiice was the most earnest,
solemn protest against thu wrongs of hu
manity that bad ever been ntieretl, and it
summoned mankind from the depth of
ill-gradation, oppression, slavery, despair,
to thn high ami exalted plane of free
thought and independent action.
As we look back npon those actor in
the mighty drama of the American revolu
tion, how grandly their figures loom up
liefore us. Men of giant physical nionl.l,
of large eotnpreheusive minds, hearts rilled
will! Urn love ot all humanity, r.iit tuey
need no feeble words of eulogy fpjiu me.
Tbey live lu the mighty institutions which
! kT KIW1U P lheir1 nmhitta kings.
l'tiey live in the hearts aud uiul ing alh-c-
tious of the .Hxipltf,
"Their spirits wrap our dusky monnlains.
Their memories sparkle o'er uur fountains,
The meanest rill, the mightiest river,
Koll mingling with their fame forever."
The work of the fathers of the Involu
tion has not been free from danger in the
first century of the Kepnblic Foreign and
UomeRiic toea nave alike assaile.1 the Um
of which they laid the foundation. Even
in the past score of years, the veryexist
tence of the nation was imperiled by one
of the mightiest rebellions ever organized
on earth. Hut alter a struggle which Is
without a parallel iu history, the nacred
cause of the Ciiion was maintained ; aud
now, although only teu years have elapW
j since the close- of tlm war, tbe glori
ous banner of our fnion float over
a country, not only nutorn by civil dissen
sion, but united, strong, powerful, and in
which every unman being is free. The de
fenders of the Union deserve the undviug
gratitude of the people of this land, and of
alt the ages of the luture, because the high
honor was reserved to them of preserving
and banding down to posterity the price
less gem of free government which the
fathers of the revolution bad instituted on
this continent. It is a happy result, my
ietiownizeit, mat although tbe two sec
tions of the country were lately nrraved
against each other in deadly conflict, that
now since the shock of arm is over, they
are again living together peaceably under
the lohls ot the old nag.
A government that has stood for a hun
dred years, and has withstood the shock of
arms of foreign foes; bos put down one of
the most gigantic rebellions on its own soil
ever known ; that has preserved order,
peace, and tranquility at home and with
the nations of the earth, may well be re
garded as established on a firm and stable
foundation, and can confidently and se
curely meet all the dangers of the future.
Y hen we contrast the condition of our
country to-day with its condition at the
close of tbi Revolutionary war, we can not
but teel that the wise men ot that day
scarcely realized the splendid results which
were to spring from their work. They
builded better than they knew. Then the
colouies were but thirteen in number, scat
tered along the iriuge ot the continent ot
North America, sparsely settled, contain
ing but a population of three millions, ex
hausted by a protracted war, not only
without union, but somewhat jealous of
each other and reluctant to form any con
federation or union, which would lessen
their dignity as separate and indeteudent
states. To-day they overlap the vast ex
panse of ,t continent. Thirty-eight stars,
representing so many states, now glitter
on our natioual banner, and the population
has now increased to over forty millions.
Now the states are crystalized into a ua
tion, strong, vigorous, powerful, with its
banners full-high advanced, leading the
van of civil. zation and progress. The de
velopment, the growth aud prosperity of
this country iu the past one hundred years,
constitute one of the most interesting eras
in human history. If we were to read the
story of snch a marvelous growth and de
velopment of a country away back iu the
course of lime, we would be incredulous of
the truth of if, and would rather be in
clined to think that it was only the vain
imagining of tbe historian. But to-day,
wilh Freedom's banner streaming on the
piue bills of Maine and on the shore of
the Gulf of Mexico; from the Atlantic to
the Pacific coast, and up to distant Alaska,
we have before us the nnnnstakaulu evi
dence of the reality of the story.
There is no better evidence of our prog
ress as a people indeed, there is no strong
er evidence of the progress the whole civil
ized world has made in the arts of peace,
than the wonderful exhibition which is
now going on around the very cradle of
human liberty. As a fitting manner to
celebrate the centennial birthday of the
Nation, we have invited the nations of the
world to come and join us on cur own soil
in one of those grand exjtositions, in which
the skill, the handicraft, the arts, and the
accomplishments of all nations may be ex
hibited in generous rivalry of each other.
They have responded nobly to tbe call.
England ha come to look on with gener
ous admiration at tbe greatness and pros
ierity of her own progeny. France has
come to behold how mighty and powerful
her once feeble ally bas become. Germany
ha come here, too, to see how many of her
own children have been transplanted from
tbe bank of the Rhine, and to find that
here, too, is l ttunrliea jatrtlatul. And
along with these have come the represent
atives of the other nations of Europe, of
South America, and the representatives of
the dusky populations of tbe Orient, of
gypt. China, Japan, whose career may
be traced back into the very twilight of
human history. Tbey have come with
their costly fabric, their splendhi works
of art, their statuary, painting, pottery,
their machinery, but over and above all
they have come here with hearts full of
good-will toward this the youngest but
most powerful of all the nations, to join
with her people in celebrating the advent
of the second century of her existence. It
is a sight which, perhaps, has never been
equaled on this planet since it was first
swung into space by the fiat of the Al
mighty, since the morning stars first sang
together for joy. It is an omen of good for
the future. It bids fair to do away with
future violence, war, and bloodshed, and
promises to bring all mankind into a com
mon brotherhood, under tbe bright and
shining banner of Peace.
And now, my fellow-citizens, there is
one thing that ought to awaken a lively
interest iu tbe breast of every American
citizen. We can not but be deeply ins
pressed wilh the idea that we are a highly
favored people. Now here else on the limits
of the broad earth is there the same free
dom vouchsafed to any other people. No
where on the face of the habitable glolie is
there tbe same nnmber of people enjoying
all the comforts and blessings of life, tbe
same measure of civil and religious liberty,
as do the people of these United States of
America. We owe a debt of gratitude we
never can repay to the patriotic fathers of
tba Revolution, who laid tbe foundation
upon which we have built ; we owe a debt
of gratitude to the soldiers of 1M12 and of
lseil for having preserved these institu
tions, and the only possible way we can
attempt to pay that debt is, by doing all in
onr power to perpetuate these institutions,
and to hand them down unimpaired to tbe
generations of the future. How can this
best be done? First, by holding all offi
cials aud all persons charged with a public
duty to the strictest accountability. Give
them to understand that office and pnbiic
position are high trusts that ought to be
sacredly guarded in tbe interest of the
American people, yea of all mankind, and
not were personal privilege with which
they are temmrarily invested. Strike
down remorselessly bad men whenever
found in public life, no matter what politi
cal lrty tbey may adhere to.
Second, as a nation we should cultivate
a patriotic fueling aud a just pride in our
institutions, in our great men of tbe past,
by cherishing their memories and imitating
their virtue. Blessings too freely enjoyed
are sometimes lightly prized. Uow little
do we top in the hurry of every-day life
to think of the blessings we enjoy! How
little do we stop to admire the world of
beauty that is aroand us, in the deliciou
atmosphere we inhale, iu the broad land
scape, rich in meadow, forest, aud mean
dering stream, in the rleeling cloud, the
brilliant sunset, in the bird wilh their
rich melody of tune, and the flower
crowned with tbe beautiful tints which the
lii vine Alchemist baa tamped npon them !
When sickness comes aad lay it heavy
hand npon us, we then comprehend fully
onr loss in not being able to enjoy these
beautiful works of nature. Would it not
be well enough for the American people,
every now and then, to pause in the mad
hurry after business and wealth and eon-
template tbe inestimable privilege they! About 11 o'clock we all started te. the
