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;

There, then, the question rested, and still
we could have left it as it was, justly and pro
perly settled. 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

•Reinember that the

East and West impartially. A genrrae lni will
arise to arbitrate without reference to co rer _

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

an Irishman—Edmund Burke. [Renewed en

Centre of England,' where those who
talked' of subjugation, destruction, and anni

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
