GOSSIP WITH OUR FRU:NOS.—An honest old
teach 4r was once nominated for the responsible
post of Sunday School Superintendent, but he ob
jeeted with such genuine remonstrance that he
was privately questioned by an inquisitive brother
as to his reasons. "Why," said he, "to tell the
truth, the habit of finding fault with the Superin
tendent has so grown upon me that, if I was to
bp elected I'm afraid I'd forget and find fault with
myself, and that would be very, mortifying." 1
should think so, and yet some of us might possibly
get into the same "concatenation accordingly."
Sweet friends, how easy it is to find fault ! how
practicable is the critic's art! with what ease (as
we know) may not a town that has taken a hun
dred Yeas to be built, be destroyed in one short
hour! ;Alas, that we should take such exquisite
enjoyment in' throwing stones into every open
%Oudot?, just because the windoto is open! Public
censors, whether members of the-Pulpit or the
Press rifay of,course "shoot folly as it flies," but
not the votaries of the aforementioned mrial be
ing. No, one was ever yet reformed by being
.shot ati- Suppose- a case—John Jones ,drinks
more Whisky; say, than is good for him, - and he
knows lids well as any one can tell him. Am I
then, his preacher, to read and amplify Holy
Writ, Thus; "Who bath woe? who bath sorrow 1
who hath contentions ? who bath babbling? who
bath wounds withodt cause T. who bath redness of
eyes!" John Jones. Am I-thus to address the
said Jones from the pulpit 1 and if I do, do you
think - Jones will leave the sanctuary "a sadder
but a wiser manl" Or, if as a member of the
Press gang, I write, "We feel it incumbent upon
us," out of a deceiit respect for the opinions of
nilikind, "to warn J-h-n J-n-s.that'he is 'slipping
down a greased plank' with an accelerated mo
mentum that gives. Mrs. J-n-s, the little J-n-s : s
and us - great uneaOneps." Will Jones. prompted
by gratitude, rush fu my sanctum, embrace me
as saviour and reserver, and leave singing,
"Qh no, oh no, oh do, I'll not drink any morel"
Probably not. To come to the point—what is
the practical difference between publishing a fact
(1) _through the pulpit or newspaper, or whisper
ing the same to A. who repeats it to B, who bab
bles it to C, who afters it to D, who jabbers it
e l
to E, who proclai4 it to F, who halldos it to G,
and soon through the alphabet? We all love to
gossip What is te need of denying it? But
1 -•
we can all gossip, f we must, like, like the
REPOSITORY; without hurting any one Old OUT
selves. - ,
I now propose to give a sitecimen of the kind
of gossip that "leaves no sting behind." Some
'four weeks ago yourgossip was invited to a straw-
berry parly, a genuine home affair, as follows:
Now obierve, I predict that this discription will,
in time to come, be quoted as a portrait of do
mesticmanners in the year 1845 in central Penn
sylvania: "Mr. and Mrs. Xs compliments to Mr. G.
and requests, the pleasure of his company to-mor
row evening at quarter past eight to assist in dis
posing of some stntwherries &lid cream. So and
so will be present." lam Mr. G.; and fourteen
minutes after eight Mr. G. was "pnnktal," and
yet found the rest of the company assembled.—
Mr. 31. remarked that it had been+ vi.:ry warm
through_the day, indeed that it was the hottest
day of the season; Mrs. M., that it was warm
the day before, and she ought to know. Mrs. P.
thought we'd have rain before long; Mr. P. wan
ted to know why; and the three Misses P., aged
respectively, 17. 184 and 20, giggled. John Han
cock Smith. seta 7,lning on the back of my chair:
I arosaly accident— ?—) and John struck his
head against the table leg, without injuring it
'(the table); John howled as loudly as hit illustri
ous name-sake wrote his name, but was quickly
lushedwifira hunk of sponge cake. Miss Sprig
ges, on the principle on which her father would
have been invited to take the chair at a public
meeting, was requested to take, the piano stool,
seated upon which she gave us first "Captain
Shepherd's Quick Step," and then launched
forth with a song new to me, with a very pretty
tune. The words were, or something - like as fol
lows;
• Haat thou no fee-ee-rung
To hear me stra-ea , liago
My love Re-retta-liag ,
Day after day.
After she had ceased, batbed'in perspiration,
every one exclaimed "beautif ul ! sweet !superb !
charming! delightful !" and o e young man, bolder
than the rest, ran his fingers through his hair,
causing-it to stand still more on end, and "mur
-inured "divine." After that, there was a pause
untila timid little man, whose complection remin
ded me very,much of the strawberries and cream
he was soon to eat, and who had .been leaning
back in a chair, in a sultry corner of the room,
fanning himself with a red silk picket handker
chief, made an effort to be funny, and with a sick
ly "smile proposed as a connumdrum—indeed I
forget what the connunadrum was, but I remem
. her it made us all laugh consumedly, particularly
as the little man was brother of our esteemed en
tertainer. Mrs. S. whose husband is teported to
' be a copperhead, then asked Mr. T., a crusty old
bachelor and a strong union man ; "whether he
didn't think it awful in Mr. Johnson to hang Mrs.
Suaratt," and was answered with a growl; "that
he didn't 'think it more awful to hang Mrs. Sur
ratt than any other rat." This- surly reply had
the effect of bringing politics upon the . tapis, and
it was surprising how well the woman argued,
only they indulged T too mach in personalities,
and invariably, bless their dear hearts! loot : their
tempers. - Well, the fruit came at last; that is,
.we were brought to it, in an lid:joining apartment,
where on a table were a huge disl of the lus t eious
"sugared berries, a bowl of extra sugar. and a
pitcher of rich yellow cream, accompanied by ex
cellent bread and butter, sponge cake and water
- crackers. Out kind hostess helped us plentifully
and repeatedly ; the teat of politeness on the part
-of the company being to eat all they possibly
could, and to praise the sponge cake, without
getting sick before reaching home. Our atten
live host invited the gentlemen into a little back
-,mom, where we took something us a corrective
•of the acidity of the berries. I can't imagine how
the lades managed without it, unless nature has
provided a safety-yalie in the shape of hysteria,
fidgets, or fault-finding. After the adminiStering
of the disinfectant the gentlemen were enabled io
Ont-talk the ladies. Two or three jokes were
made. Again was the piano called into requM
tion, through the medium'of which we were in
. formed. by the eldest daughter of the house, that
our flag was still there; that the year of Jubilu
had arrived; that any individual—to whom the
personal pronoun, second person, singular, nomi
natiVe„case, applied—reigned in this (indefinite)
. bosom; and, finally, that there was no place like
Home, Home, Sweet, Sweet Home. Under the
-circumstances what could we do but leave. In
about half an hour the ladies had finished their
adieux, 'and we all walked home, making, of
course, invidious remarks upon our host and host
'eat, their family, house, furnivre, clothing and
enterfainant—but, bless me! this is confidential.
ME REPOSITORY BuiiiNG.—The contract
was concluded on Saturday last between "The -
ReywibßY Association" •and Messrs. John R.
TArner and John T. Kingsbury (lite Lieutenant
Kingsbury ;who commanded the battery in this
plane) torthe erection of the Repository Buildingy.
for the sum of $25,000. The Building will be
120 feet , long and 50 feet wide, and three stories
high' with a finished brisetnent. It will occupy
- the-site of. the old; Franklin Hall, but will be 20
ft;et.longer and eight ftel narrower. so as to'afford
complete ventilation from both sides. ,An , eight
feet alley, belongingesclusively to the Association,
will be-on the north-side-of the building. The
basement will contain a finished room 66x23 feet,
'well lighted and ventilated, in which there will
be an Agricultural store; a first class Restaurant
running the whole lentth of the building, with
front and side entrances, and two large private
rooms connected by folding doors, in addition to
the usual small apartments in such establisluments;
an engine house for the steam power of the RE
POSITORY printing office, and ample cellar room
for coal, heater, 4e. The first ‘ floor will contain
the counting-room of the REPOSITORY on the.
north=west corner; a large Music, Book and Pe
riodical -room for the Shryocks, fronting 17 feet
on Main, 35 feet on Market and running 46/ feet
through the building to the north alley; a room
for the Post Office, 20/ feet wide by 46/ deep,
with rear entrance for the mails and the amplest
room for delivering to the public; three double
Atterney's offices 15x46/ feet, and a rear room
20x46/ feet for the Press and Jobbing office. The
REeosrrottv counting room and Shryock'sl3tore
room will have Well constructed vaults, built on
an abetment brought up from the foundation, with
double fire-proof doors, and the entire front on
the diamond and the Market street front of Shry
ock's store and the Post Office, 105 feet in all,
will be of open iron work. The second floor will
contain a ticket office on the south-west corner;
a fine room on the north-west where Mr. Wm.
G. Reed will dispense insurance for life, limb and
tenements ; a public hall 80x46d feet, 18 feet high
from ceiling to floor, and well ventilated by large
windows on both sides, and the REPOSITORY
'composing and editorial rooms in the rear, with
private stair way to the...hall. The third story
will be in two halls for the use of the Odd Fel
lows. The roof will be flat, covered with a com
position of pebbles, and the-walls will have pilas
ters extending four inches, between each flight of
windows with flues in each for heating or ventil
ation, and a large cistern will be located in the
alley near the rear of the building. Upon the
whole the "Repository Building" will be a credit
to the town, and its. complete architectural -ar
rangement makes the rooms of the most desirable
character for its tenants':
—',`The Repository Association" is incorpora
ted by fhe Court of Common Pleas of Franklin
county with an authorized capital of $60,000 but
$lO,OOO of that will be reserved and belong to
the company.
,The capital stuck will represent
the FRANKLIN REPOSITORY newspaper with all
its presses, engine, types, fixtures, good will, tic;
counts, &c., the "Repository Building" and the
valuable lot on which it is to be erected. Forty
thousand dollars of the capital stock were subscri
bed on Monday last, when the books were opened,
and but ten thousand remain to be taken. The
enterprise certainly commends itself to the pub
lic-spirited citizens of our town and vicinity, and,
as it cannot fail to pay a good interest on the in
vestment, we doubt not that the whole of the
stock will be speedily taken. The Building is
already rented for over $2 , 100, being within a
fraCtion of ten per cknt on its actual ost, each;
siCe of the rooms used by the Association, and the
REPOSITORY will, as ever heretofore when 'under
judicious management, contribute liberally to the
dividends of the corporation. The Association
is managed by a board of the directors, of which
A K. M'Clure is President, H. S. Stoner Treas
urer and Secretary, and the printing and pub
lishing business will be conducted as heretofore
under the firm name of McClure & Stoner.—
Mr. )IcClure continues as chief editor, and Mr.
Stoner conducts the business department of the
Association. No change is made in the curent
business, as all- unsettled contracts belong to the
new ownership. The change was made mainly
to simplify the management of the valuable news
paper property, and to erect a building over rebel
rains that will do credit lo Chainbersburg and its
people, and remain for years to come as a monu
ment of the enterprise and successifif the long
honored and generously supported FRANKLIN
REPOSITORY. -4

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On the 26th of June last,
whilst riding through the streets of Greenvillage,
,
Mr. David Youst, son of Mr. Adam Youst, was
thrown violently from his horse, receiving a ghast
ly cut in his right leg, and was otherwise severely
injured. He lingered between life and death np to
July 15th, when death claimed him for his own.
The deceased was a member of Com. C, 200th
Penna. Vols., commanded by Capt. Huber. He
was much esteemed by his friends at home and
comrades in the field. Such are the ways of life.
Having passed through many battles, amid the
chaos and tumult of strife, where the cannon's
peal and musket's roar try men's souls; he never
quailed but passed through them all to establish
his Country's glory, and then came home to die.
He sank to rest with that calmness and compo
sure that provee a soldier is not afraid to die.
Teens AND PLANTS.—Mr. Jacob Heyser.
has an excellent assortment of Trees, Plants and
Vines, including all kinds of fruit, evergreens,
shades and shrubbery, and all the different vari
ety of grapes, all of which he offers at reasonable
rates. Chainbersburg is a withered waste because
of rebel vandalism, and our people cannot too
soon begin to replace the heartsome shade and
vines which formerly graced the town. Wherever
it is possible, let them betilted this fall. t We
have them ;met at hand, go at they can be lifted
and trans-planted without the peril of transporta
tion. " •

Harry Gilmor. When the United States nether
ities get through with them, the people of Frank

with both of them.
THE TWENTY-FIRST.—The 21st Pa. Cavalry

POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.
—Governor Sharky has regpoinied all the old
county and town officers in Missiesippi.
—Gen. James L. Selfridge, a most gallant sol
dier of Northampton county, is strongly urged for
the 'Union nomination of Auditor General.
—The Union men of Jefferson county have re
commended G. W. Andrews for Senator (with
Indiana and Cambria) and Capt. A. H Tracy for
Assembly.
—The Demotratie Central Committee of Brook•
lye and the Republican. Central Committee of
New York, have both . indorsed President Johb
son's policy of reconstruction.
_ —The State election in Kentucky takes place
on the first Monday of August next. A State
Treasurer, members of Congress, members of the
Legislature, and county officers are to be chosen.
—The Union Convention of-Sussex county,
New Jersey, which met at Newton on Monday,
appointed a full delegation to the State Conven
tion to be held at Trenton on the :20th instant.
General Kilpatrick, who is a citizen of that coun
ty, was present, and was appointed one of the
delegates., He Made a glowing Union speech, de
nouncing the disloyal conduct of the New Jersey
Democratic leaders, and pledging himself to
stump the State if he could get leave of absence
from the field. The General expects to be pre
mutat the State Convention.
—The N. Y. Evening Post states that of the
174 members of Congress elect, 144 are uncoil=
ditional Union men, and thirty conservatives or
Southern sympathizers. Kentucky and Nevada
have yet to elect. Giving the South six out of
the nine members from the former and one from
the latter, we shall have 148 Union men against
120.. Southern sympathizers, including a full del
egation of eighty-four members from the rebel
States, should they be admitted, leaving a clear
Union majority of twenty-eight. The Post ar
gues from this, that the rebel States will have
very little power in the next Congress.
--There is trouble among the " Democracy" in
Ohio. At the recent session of the State Execu
tive Committee, Alexander Long, the notorious
secessionist whose treasonable speeches are re
membered by most otour readers, introduced his
States' Rights and kro-Slavery doctrines as the

members of the committee, but was opposed by
others, not on account of the principles proposed,
but because it was not in order for the committee
to dictate to the conungconiention. Long c!0R, ,, 0
have accordingly seceded, and propose to run'an
independent State ticket that will be in their es

AN ADDRESS
Ddirered on the 4th of July, 1865, to the
- Returned Soldiers,
BY W. S. EVERETT, ESQ.
SOLDIERS AND CITIZENS :—I have never re
ceived an invitation, to address a meeting of my'
fellow-countrymen, with so much pride, as the
one 1 received a few days since, from a commit
tee of war-worn veterans who entered the war
at its commencement and remained in the army
fighting our country's battles until its close.
. You soldiers have marched under the flag of
your country, and whereveryou went you unfurl
ed that flag to the breeze, andpravely did
you vindicate It, that no ruthless h has dared
to take it down, or even disturb it.
By your bravery and heroism, that flag now
waves over the capital of every State, and floats
from the rampart of every fort along the entire
coast, and has by you been planted in triumph
upon the soil of every State in rebellimf, so se
curely that none has even dared to disgrace it.
Some of you were among the first to go into
battle, and among 'the last to come out. You
hate nobly stood by your country's flag, always
true to it. carrying it, on many occasions, through
the hottest of the battle, the proud emblem of
your country's glory, and as the shout of victory.
went up, planting it upon the field of honor, the
glorious symbol of freedom to oil mankind.
"A shout as of waters, a long withered cry ;
How it leaps, two it leapt from the earth to the sky
From the eky to the earth, from the earth to the sea
Hear the chorus reechoed ' Thr people arcfree.'
It is always right to celebrate the heroism of
our brethren to the field, and the splendid victo
ries of their arms.
Looking over this concounie of delighted peo
ple in the presence of our grinid old flag, of the
heroes of many a hard fought battle, who carried
it to victory. and amidst the loud bursts of ap
plause that deafens the ear, it seems to me the
lips of the most eloquent orator aroin, dumb and
meaningless.
We all rejoice in our country's prosperity, and
now utter four years terrible war with a giant
foe, when golden success has crowned our arms
with lictory, and peace with its benign influence
is supplanting the bloody red•hand of war, it is
eminently proper that we should assemble to
gether on this our National Sabbath, to welcome
home and do honor to those bold and brave spir
its who achieved so much for the government we
love,
Pericles, the most celebrated Athenian orator,
once said, "that the citizen who sorrowed not in
his country's disasters, and rejoiced not in her tri
tunphs, was unworthy to live, and unfit to die."
This day then, is one of rejoicing in our coun
try's triumphs, and to those who labored to achieve
those triumphs, and those who supported and.
sustained our government when the dark clouds
of war overhung our national horizon, who con
tributed to its strength when to do so reqnired a
loyal heart and a patriotic spirit, this Fourth of
July is one of exultation, joy and national pride.
To-day the whole nation feels as with one heart
the glorious , achievements which have immortal
ized our artns.
The Fourth of July before tills called theyoung
and ardent to join the public rejoicing; it now al
so speaks, in a touching voice, to the retired, to
the gray headed, the old
. and infirm. It is no
longer a day for a particular age or class to com
memorate, but it calls together all classes, all
parties, all associations, nil orders, all conditions
and all colors of men. It is a day in which all
men everywhere have a common interest, for all
are alike benefited by the dear bought blessings
which it commemorates. The tribute we bring
is not to the living alone, but also to- the gallant
dead, who dared and suffered uporahind and sea.
that we oca . ,nation might live and g - nw iagteat
riesi and' pawer.
Zig kattittily Ciambastrurg, :pa.
To-day - we - stand a yew people, with no stigma
resting upon our national escutcheon. °warms
are triumphant upon land and sea, and the great
problem of our institutions, that man is capable of
self-government, fully vindicated and established.
To-day our nation stands disenthralled and re
generated, with the heaven-born principle pro
claimed throughout the land, Universal freedhm
to all mankind, and equal civil and political rights.
Liberty blesses a
,nation with its sweet influence;
even the barren earth seems to pour out its fruits
under a system where the rights of men and prop
erty are secure, while her fairest gardens are
blighted by slavery and despotism. We now as
a nation stand, where our charter of independence
intended we !Mould. throughout the area of our
country, a truly free and independent people.
There can be no more interesting occasion than
that which has called us together to day. To
welcome home those who a few years ago went
out from amongst us to roll back the swellin'g
tide of rebellion and treason that had threatened
our institution and government with destruction,
is a duty that fills every loyal hearq with the
warmest emotions. Yes, soldiers, in behalf of the
people of our town and .country, I welcome you
home, the comforts of which your patriotism in
duced you to sacrifice. that you might lend a
helping band, in the rescue of your country from
the terrible danger that threatened its overthrow.
We have watched you anxiously during the last
tour years, as you moved among the deadly mis
siles poured on you by the enemies, of our goy
eminent, or lay suffering from wounds and dis.
ease in the hospital.
Yes, you have filled us with uxultant pride on
many occasions, as Ave have read of the hard
fought battles from which you nobly won the gold
en wreath of victory.. From Gettysburg, where
the tide was turned and the rebellion began to
ebb, to the Wilderness, where wading through a
sea of blood for forty days and nights ; 'to Spott
-BYlvallia, then across the North Anna and South
Anna rivers, pursuing the foe with an energy that
threw fear aside, up tolhe very gates of Richmond
and Petersburg, there struggling with death-hke
tenacity for the period of months, and then to the
Weldon railroad arid Hatcher's. Run, on the glo
rious termination of the war, in the surrender of
Lee with his entire force at Appomattox Court
House, you have in all these bard fought battles
of this terrible campaign, won for yourselves a
dlorions distinction, and for your country immor
tal honor.
And you, suidieis of the Army of the Cumber
land, victors ot a hundred battles, from Nashville
to Chattanooga, from Chattanooga to Atlanta,
from Atlanta to Savannah, and from the Savan
nah by the Edisto and Congaree, into the very
heart and centre of treason and traitors, only
btopping to linger lovingly over the battle fields
where freedom's champions stopped to fight her
boatel; and tell her victories ; and then at Kene
saw Heights had at Lookout Mountain, where
immortality was found above the• clouds and the'
starry flag was unfurled to the breeze, and
waved the emblem of truth and glory. From
this across the State of Georgia, through South
Carolina and North Carolina, ever on the march
under the sunlight of glory and honor, carrying
terror and dismay to the very hearts of those most
determined in the destruction of our goverument,
until your triumph over the second army arrayed
against law and order, commanded by General
Johnston.
Tuts war so triumphantly ended by the noble
daring and bravery of our troops, has given us
as a people,„the most prominent position among
the militartnations of the earth. It has put be
yond questkin the fact, that the United . States
have more military resources, and can put into
the field greater armies than any other govern
ment now in existence. When the war began
four years ago, the people wished the trial to be
made in the face of the civilized world. They
asked no foreign intervention, they needed no
foreign assistance. They had intelligence enough
never to suffer a military despotism, nor to allow
the seizure of their political rights and guaran -
tees; but fully understanding their destiny. they
have urged on the war, have fought bravely; sub
,dued the rebellion, restored peace to the country
and established the government strong enough
and powerful enough to conduct us in our onward
career, until we, as a people, shall be as Rome
Was when her imperial eagles hovered around the
pillars of Hercules. •
- To be identified with a people so perorated
with the:principle of liberty. that they will not
allow the meanest of God's creatures to stater
slavery, is to my mind a mast glorious nobility.
Yes, the loyal people of America will suffer not
even the meanest Negro to margin in bondage.
The vast amount of blood that Ills been poured out
and treasure expended since this causeless rebel
lion commenced, establishes beyond doubt, the
love our people have fur that prieelem boon, uni
versal freedom No Pnerifiee too great tla Tuldt
-cute it. No-effort too vast to sustain it. It is
the leading element in our nationality. the cur- -
ner stone upon which hfreared our beautiful fabric
of government.
The government during all this bloody war has
been faithful to all its constitutional obligations.
Fur more than_ three :quarters of a century, tt
has maintained the national honor at home and'
abroad, and by its power, its wisdom, and its jus
tice, has given the title of an American citizen an
elevation among the nations of the earth, 'which
-the citizens of no goVernment have enjoyed since
the proudest days of the Roman Empire.
The rights ofno States were invaded, no man's
property despoiled, no man's liberty abridged, no
man's life oppressively jeopardized by the action
of the Federal government. On the contrary,
our system of government is such that the sover
eignty of the States in its limited -capacity does
not clash with the supreme sovereignty of the
Federal government. Each in its respective or
bit revolves independent of the other, yet not sep.
crate, but the one within the sphere grant d and
upheld by the other.
The wicked rebellion commenced four years
ago for • the purpose-ot destroying our system of
government was the legitimate growth of two
antagonistic principles contending for the mas
tery—slavery and freedom. In the very heart of
our country, the element of the must haughty and
intolerant aristocracy had been nurtured-by the
institution of human bondage. The most repul
sive features of the old European fuedalism had
thus been transplanted into our Republic.
The war was simply a desperate struggle on
the part of the slaveholdera, to retain by force of
arms that domination in the goiernment of this
Republic which they had so long held, and which
by the natural operation of the ballot-box they
were slowly but surely losing. It was simply a
repetition of that great conflict, which for ages,
has agitated our globe—the conflict between
anstocastic usurpation and popular rights's'. How
nobly it has been resisted and crushed we all
know. Since the days that crusading Europe
threw its hosts upon the embattled plains of Asia.
no deeper, or noire earnest, or grander spirit has
stirred the souls of men, than that which sent
forth the mighty masses of citizen soldiery from
the North, whose gleaming banners conquered
the rebellion, - and made bright again the earth
and sky of the distracted south.
We come not to-day to applaud our own work,
and to lAeleume you, brave men, back from the
_fields , of honor and glory, but also to pay a Mud
tribute- to the glowing deeds of our reNothtionary
fathers. It was for us, their posterity, that the
heroes and sages of the revolution toiled and bled.
It was not their own cause in which they were
embarked. The most they could promise them
selves Has that, having cast forth the seed of lib
erty., having watered it with the tears of waiting
eyes and the b lood of brae hearts, their descend
ants might gfither the fruit of its branches, while
those who planted it should moulder in peace be
neath its shade. And-so imbued IN ere they with
the principle of liberty, that in order to achieve
it they hazarded homes, property dud even life it
sell. On the score of interest, it perhaps might
have been better for them to have endured the
oppressive acts of the British Parliament, than to
have plunged into the heavy expense of blood and
treasure of the Revolutionary war. lint they
thought not of shuffling off upon posterity the bur
den of resistance. They well understood their
duty to their descendants. They perceived that-
they, under Providence, were called to strike the
blow or resistance in the cause of civil and relig
ious liberty, and it was this day eighty years- ago,
that they, the mightiest among the mighty, stood
forth, and in that immortal Declaration proclaim
ed the doctrine, which in the corner-stone of our
Government, that to mankind belong Certain in
alienable rights, among which are life, liberty and
the purabit of happiness. Nor should we on thin
occasion , forget those who stood forth in their
arms when the council was over to bravely con
tend for this hallowed principle. To them belong
glory, honor and immortality. The brief space
allotted me will not suffice to describe the thrill
ing incidents of ,sublimity and woe, of agony and
triumph, that were theirs to enjoy and endure
through the eight long years of the Revolution.
Time is bringing forward in glorious relief the
men and the deeds of that high sanded day, and
although the generation of Revolutionary heroes
is gone their deeds remain, and -the fire which
kindled in their hearts the spirit of patriotism still
burns upon our National altars, and warms up
the same feeling in the bosoms of the generation
of men now living.
The Fourth of July two years ago exemplified
, in golden-eharacters the noble heroism of the
brave descendants of a loyal ancestry. Then the
rebellion had reached the highest point of its
,strength and power, and as our revolutionary ag
cestora,proclaimed the doetripe of freedom- on
that memorable day, and stood forth ready to
vindicate it, so too did the loyal. Union armies,
after hard fought battles, turn the tide at Picks.
burg and Gettysburg, driving the enemies of free
dom dishonored, dismayed, defeated and discour
aged, back to the home of treason and slavery,
there only to await in rags of beggary the entire
surrender of their armies. Noble heroes. You
have faithfully and well served your country.
The marks of the campaign are still fresh upon
your persons. They are marks of honor, and the
scars of wounds you bear, are marks of glory
brighter than the diamond and more lasting than
names -engraven upon tablets 'of marble. As the
fathers of the revolution are remembered with
honor and admiration, so too will you stand forth
the pride of posterity and the glory of your own
day and generation. For you there is a page in
History, a bright and honored page, upon which
will be written the names And hard fought battles
of the soldief% of the war of 1861. The glorious
achievement you won amid': the missiles of death,
is not for your own countrymen alone, but for the
oppressed-of every land, of every color, upon .the
face of the earth. Whilst this is the eighty-ninth
year of American independence, it is the first year
of American freedom. Our Revolutionary filth
erg achieved our independence. You gave free
dom to the oppressed and enslaved. The trial of
adversity was theirs—the trial of prosperity is
ours. Ourposition is the must enviable, the most
responsible which men can fill. If we now do
our duty, the cause of universal freedom is safe.
If we fail, we not only defraud our children of
the inheritance which we received from our
fidhers, but we blast the hope of the friends of
liberty throughout Europe, throughout the world,
to the end of time:
You - need not, Soldiers and fellts-eitizens, that
I should dwell upon the incidents of the terrible
war just closed. This very, place: here in Cham
bersburg, a town that once nestled so beautifully
in , thench and fertile Cumberland Valley, now
.siiting - draped in mooring amidst her crumbling
walls, was the scene of perhaps the must terrible
act of fiendish atrocity.
Yes, Chambersburg stands a lasting monument
to the firm and unyielding patriotism of her peo
ple. Her people might have saved their town :
but' rather than suffer the sacrifice of principle,
they spurned with contempt the unjust tribute of
MCatiiland, mid challenged him to an act, in the
execution of which, they believed humanity would
fhil before it. But this was not all of our suffer
ings, our people endured three raids, and an inva
sion of Lee's entire army. nor times stripped
of our horses, cattle and goods. and compelled to
undergo the meanest of insults heaped upon us by
those intent upon the destruction our country,
wejwere doomed at fast to leave our homes, with
all of our valuables, and relics around which fond
memories clustered, only to see them disappear
in a cOutnn of flame that licked the very clouds,
the work of the rebel incendiary - .
She two, like other tow& and' cities in the
country can call the roll of her citizens--heroes,
fallenin the desperate struggle universal free
dom. She has never faltered when the order
came for more men, but in herenthusiasm for the
glorious cause permitted but one draft, raising
her quotas other times by volunteers.
But I% hat shall I say of those gallant and brave
men who went out from amongst us filled with
patnotie devotion to their country and its cause,
and who returned not again. These men who
did so much to preserve our government are no
more. These men who gave all they - had on
earth; their lives, for the holy cause of universal
freedom, can now do no more for us, nor we for
them. But their memory remains, we will cher
ish it; their example remains, - we will strive to
imitate it, and above all the fruit of their last no
ble act remains. we will gratefully enjoy it. They
have
,gone to he companions of their cares, of
their dangers and their toils. It is - well with
them. How long the list of our brave and good
have assembled there. There is our CoL
Capt. Easton, Capt. Sam. M'Dowell, Capt.
Steve 5, apt: MCulloh, Capt. Kearns, Pomeroy
Oaks,,,Fr er, 31'Grath, Fortesclie and hosts of
others whi followed them in their country's con
fidence, arc now met together in that land where
there is no 'm re separation forever. Their bodie - 9
lie mouldering in far off States. The faithful maf'-
ble may preserve their epitaph, but the humblest
sod of Independent America, with nothing but the
dew drops of the morning to gild it, is a prouder
mausoleum than Kings or conquerors can boast.
The fabric. of our government, like all things hu
man, howler firm and fair, may crumble into
dust. But -the cause of universal emancipation
vindicated and achieved will stand forever.
