ORATION OP RICHARD: O'GORMAN, Esq: The following is the oration of Richard O'Gorman, Esq , of New York, deliv.ered before the Cenifal Demooratio - Elub, of Philadelphia, on, the occasion of the celeLmti on of Wash ington's Birthday: FELLOW- CIT/ZENb:—There is a legend among the dwellers by the Rhine, that. on ote, n i g h t in every year, when the moon is at the tie 1 , the great Imperial Charles emerges from' ai s tomb, and again visits the scenes that he 'oven on earth. When the moonbeams fall on the noble river, and fling from bank to bank a bridge of light, upon that bridge of moon beams the monarch walks, calling down a bene diction on all the German land. He blesses the earth—the cornfields, the cities,. the towns, the hamlets ; he blesses the sleeping people of them all, and, bin loving mission ended, he retires softly to his resting place in La Chapelle. Who knows hut what such things may be true? I would rather trust the simple tradi tions of the peeple, than one-half the theories of the philosophers; and if it may be that the dead can be again alive, if there can again exist on earth a tie so nure that death itself fitiritiot tweak its bonds—pardon it as an idle tancy. forgive me it I say that in this airy. on this night, the founder of your Republic walks. his great spirit Com , s to revisit us, he comes to renew in every heart, thatSlili holds his mem ory dear, some of the patriotism that fired his own, and to bless again, by his benignity and lien, that now contere ions land for which every hope ef his noble life was spent. [Applause.] All along the route I traveled to day, over that gallant little State of New Jersey. [rap plause]—(Ae voice, ,' Three cheers' for the sand banks")—[Laughter.] all over that gal lant little State that stretches between this city and my home, is the scene of that cheerless campaign of years ego, when this great soul, struggling with ill-success, and the fainting spirit tit' his country, marked at Monmouth, at. Princeton, on the Delaware, clothed in ice, at Morristown, the record of deeds that have been lost in the light of his glory. There may he be, but if there be any place in which his spirit delights to linger with peculiar tender ness and fund remembrance, it is near.. [Great enthusiasm,] here in this good city of Philadel phia, where he first saw the .-r ..t. k. oraala lite a cme:nen:4lßa . ; - tieirt in this city of Paths delfsete....where assembled that Convention of Delegates from the original Stares, charged with the solemn duty of ascertaining where fore, aud Ott what terms these sovereign States came together; and, after tour months' delibe tition, elected for the Presidency—George Washington. [Applause.] By their discre tion, moderation, and wisdom, they succeeded, at last, in perfecting that Great Chartei of American Liberty, that mystic) bond of Union, 1 by which atone these sovereign States could 'ma have been united; by which alone. since gin, they have been kept united. [Applause.] i know I mean the Constitution or the Uni States. eApplause.] And though ruin may be drawn down on this Confederacy, then ietigation and moderation came together. ,ugh it may be destroyed before the genera who stood by its cradle shall have passed . ; though that Charter of Liberty may be sled in frenzy, and bathed in blood; 4gh the people, led by political mounts its, may, with their own bands, break it many and valueless fragments; still the ',that assembled in that •Conventios, the 'who presided over the great work that here aeeompliehed, shall be dear to every I. in every home, all over the Barth, where \here lingers the blessed faith inspired by who define a national road or a national . [Applause.] George Washington adfasr, valiant, moderate,wise and good. a emphatically the right man in the ace, [loud cheering,] a type and repre e of the gallant age in which he lived. ,inent men of any age are the promo s progress, or the cause of its decay. not the creators, they are the cres,- 't nation.

Now, how terribly all ie changed. Then peace and good-will reigned amongst the States. Now American has drawn sword upon American. By American arms American lives are lost; American cities are ruined; American land is swept. and devastated. A, war rages over the land, in intensity unparalleled; phi losophical philanthrophists. poet., preachers, alike sing of horrors, and pronounce them good. [Laughter.] The meekest benevolence applauds the actions of bitterest foeman, ap plauds4e soldier in his ~awful work; mot, ministers, with Bibles in their hands, have been known to speak words inching their eon gregations to war, and to seek to draw down upon armies, steeped in blood, the benediction of the God of Pease. [Sensation.] Our cow men instincts revolt at, it; the civilized world is aghast with horror. Fellow-citizens, I have come here to-night to talk with the voice of no faction ; to echo She watchword of no antagonittra. I am no PeStician. lam the slave of no party. [Ap- Plau B s] To-night, we bring to mind the sacred memory ,tf him, who, when Hither stood on an eminent), sso high, that the gusts and storms of faction, ineigue end jealousy, rolled tar below. To - night et. us strive to raise our hearts, and like the vitb ene thronging around us. brought up by the e. seseiations of the day, soar above and be like, him. •Reinember that the time will come when these things will be his tory; the lime will come when , torethe awful censor, will he brought the men 'el acts of to day. Then history will judge Northe ild south. East and West impartially. A genrrae lni will arise to arbitrate without reference to co rer _ heads ar woolly-heads. [Laughter.] Th sz will draw in the whole nai:on; bring to one level the whole country, North, South, East and west. It is the whole Union they will hold responsible for having blasted the hopes of human liberty, and destroyed the grandest heritege God ever gave to man. [Great cheer ing 1 Now I, perhaps, ought to apswer, be- Tore - I. say any more, the proper questions pro posed from the Provost Marshal's primer [Laughter] to every man who speaks in public. [Laughter. ] First oral]—" Am I for a vigorous prosecu tion of the war?" Well, yes. I want to see it "prosecuted vigorously." [Laughter.] Any thing that is worth doing at all, is worth doing well. [Laughter.] It is a nonsensical ques tiun, an unnecessary question to be put to any citizen of the United States. [Renewed laugh ter.] As far as the people are concerned, they are prosecuting it vigorously. The question should be asked the public servants. When asked for men, we sent them to the field by half-millions, and backed them by a flowing ereasury, and unstinted liberality unknown in the history of nations. No the " vigorous prosecution " belongs to the public servants, who are always asking the question, and not to the people. [Laughter.] Besides, it is not my business to prosecute the war vigorously. [lncreased laughter.] It is the business of the soldiers in the field, and they have prose cuted it vigorously. They have fought like men and heroes, toughs whenever they were called to fight. It is their business to . say nothing, and to obey orders, to ost and not to think. We are no soldiers, we are citizens, and it is one business to think. [Great ape. plause.] If these same soldiers think for them. selves, let them think whose dearest destinies are at stake. [Cheers.] It is our business to • review public men and public acts, for the sake of the absent soldier. That is our duty. Now I am not going to speak, to night, much about •the Constitution and the laws. I will tell you why. Tiers are those who profess to be more in favor of a "vigorous prosecution of the - War," by the invention of new power, a power of vast extent and universal application—the " war power." [Laughter.] It is capable of gigantic. increase, as it is confined within no ewer limits than the good will and pleasure of those into whose hands it is confided. I hope some of them are here, and will try to know what is the Constitution, and what are the laws before they make up their minds to go on. [Laughter ] Now, I suppose nobody will say, a civil war has effects in common with War of any other character. If they do, Ido not want to Make secondary philanthropists of them, after their stimulating Americana to kill Americans. [Laughter ]' Ido not think that the most remarkably benevolent man in the . United States will construe that into a useful and glorious war, which causes American forces to desolate American States. to devastate lair, fertile American land, or to turn American rivers away from American cities. [Roister- , ous and long continued laughter ] Now, then, the only palliation which can be given for a civil war,. is that it will necessarily lead to a good result. First of all, in what way .did this quartet arise? In this! Some of the Southern Styes were ignorant, and inslined not to obey doe . „ te tion from outside sources. [Laughter.] ;They . wished others not to meddle in- what.s t d not concern them. Their domestic affaira)elonged to themselves, and ethers were requieted not to step in where their room was tikter than their company. [Laughter,] Suchlee I under -- stand it, was the Southern origin of our trou ble. Then said the New EnglePd States, "We intend to meddle jest es numb as we please ; we have special possession, S'y patent, of tie right to interfere." Th• South threatened to secede. Said New England, "You must listen to us, whether you like it or not. Stay where yon are." New this viarrel, if left between these two belligerents, separated by wide tracts of land, would'have resulted in what the gentleman described when he said, ,"nobody was hurt." [Great laughter.] And these New England Stateic driven by their own foolish ness into a quarrel, managed with admirable adroitness to dreg with them, into it, the great Middle and Western States. From worse to worse we went, and we are new in the midst Of a great civil war. I oannet help whetting to the Intellectual. adroitness of the New England States. They say they are Anglo-Saxons, and can never be. embittered in this quarrel. [Laughter.] But. whether embittered or net, they spare no ef !fort to embitter others. They own the Press, land claim to manufacture boots, shoes, shod idies, and public opinion. [Loud laughter.] •They have supreme command of the Army, the 'Navy, the Cabinet, and perhaps of the Presi dent. [Laughter.] They take the government all in their own hands, and twirl it round their fingers with a calm infallibility which, though exceedingly nice to look at, is, at the same time, somewhat alarming. [Laughter.] And now, as they have the civil (Marge of a civil war, they may be asked at what result they intend to arrive. how long will tho North, East sad West agree 4 The war is said to be a war for the Unien—yes, a war for the Union—and, if the Union can be restored by war, then I am in favor of war. [A voise—"Se am I."] I look upon secession as a great political mistake ; I look upon secession as a disaster —a disaster as much to the South as to the North ; for I do not believe that there is in the South any more of the principle of cohe rency than there is in the North, to keep their States together. As the South tore itself asunder, so it will itself fall apart ; and so will the West fall away from the North. secession PUBLISHED EVERY MORNING, erIiDAYBI IXCIPYID, BY 0.

Llpplause.l But this "war for the Union" is an idea ac cepted by my friends. You cannot convince the reason of the Southern laud by arms. Their spirits will rise to the energy of despair under each reverse, until they may become stronger than ourselves. Understand that ides. well. [Applause.] , A Union by arms is nothing more than subjugation, as far as r can see clearly. And, even then, we are not done.

No man loves it more, though I was born in Ireland. [Enthusiastic and long continued applause.] In the year 1775, when the struggle between. Great Beeson and her revolting American col onies was about to begin, when great indigna tion at their treason was felt from , end to end_ of England, there was one who dared to raise his voice in their defence—it was the voice of an Irishman—Edmund Burke. [Renewed en thusiasm and applause.] Alone in the very . Centre of England,' where those who talked' of subjugation, destruction, and anni hilation, were moat numerous, he spoke for reconciliation Una s'ouceesion. His voice was unheeded. England drew the sword against the colonifs, who willed universally. to defend, their right against the foreign foe. Their free dom was the work of time. Once there were only eighty men in the armies of the United States. Then the revolting colonies! might have been tempted back, but the opportunity when offors of reconciliation might have bees. seised, went by, and England lost her colonies forever.
