The Graduate's Stand-Point.
Every life has its prime epochs. Yon, my
young friends, have reached one of these ;
and stand, for the bonr, on the dividing line
between preparation and action. One last act
of official duty toward you asa class, remains
to me. My heart will not allow me to make
it a mere ceremony. Nor am I willing to
make it an occasion for Ihe display of my own
abilities. If the indulgence of the pride and
pomp of office, and the acquisition of literary
fame were ever proper, it could not be that
such a moment as this would furnish the ap
propriate lime and place.
You occupy, ihis day, " the; Graduate's
Stand-Point,'' whence, with special advantage,
may be surveyed the past, pres.nt, and fu
ture. This fact shall furnish my theme.
I. From this pinnacle, survey the past.
Some twenty or thirty of your years are gone
a full third of yopr life perhaps half per
haps almost the whtde ! Has this great frac
tion gone so as that all further nse of it is im
possible ? Is it to you like a seed-time without
a sowing,or like a fortune dissipated t Can it
i now only minister to salutary regrets, orelie-
it ingenuous resolutions t You know best.
I For myself, I will believe that it has been used
i in acquiring qualities which will deveh.pe
; themselves to the infinite advantage of yonr
j selves and others.
I But tho neH rmv-oTs.tt. hii.ii.u Allows
I small scope for self-gratification. Wayward
: years of childhood, neglected advantages of
youth, over-estimates of self, wandering ofde
sire, impatience of reproof, waste of money,
unwise intimacies, and broken resolves, occu
py loo large a space in Ihe memories of every
life.
But there is a view of these past years
which at once cheers and ennobles, viz: to
note the blessings of God which mark them
all over. The very fact that you are heie,
tells of a whole line of benefits. Some of
your fellows have dropped out of Ihe class,
either by death, or disgrace, or want of funds,
or failing health, or fickleness of purpose.
Hut you are here at the winning post, aud on
every day of your course have been showered
blessings from God. Leisure, books, teach'
ers, meetings, revivals, friendships, health,
support, have all been yours. Since you
drew your first breath, seven thousand days
have glided on, each fraught with innumera
ble benefits, and bringing you now to the
longed-for ceremonial which completes and
publishes your last achievements. Surely it
is an hour when lov and gratitude should
swell your hearts, and when, to omit all ref
erence to Him by whose favor yon here stand.
would be abominable.
II. Now see where you stand. The goal
reached, an education acquired. How ar
dently you desired youth to pass away, and
place you among men ! It has passed away
you are men. The period, which poets de
scribe as halcyon, is gone ! To a youth well
spent, we may bid an eternal adieu with
pleasure a great race has been run, and
won. Should life then be cnt off, such a
youth make, a good whole of itself. But as
we can not part from a friend for ever with
out tender emotions, so some pang will in
trude when we come to say. Farewell thou
fainest portion of human life! Farewell ye
days of careless mirth and cloudless brow !
Farewell! calm seclusion, learned leisure,
peaceful pursuits, guileless friendships, and
ingenuous ambitions ! Farewell class rooms
and college groves, kind teachers and delight
ful inquiries !
Well ! let them go. So spring departs, and
all its blossoms fade. But if the fruit be set,
summer is better. And ifyour youth has pass
ed leaving yen loving and pure, diligent and
hnpeful.its departuie but marks youi progress
But the analogy is not complete. If spring be
smitten with blight, and no fruit succeed the
blossoms, we look cherrily to another year,
when ample harvests shall crown our hopes.
But youth returns no more! Yours is now a
by-gone. There it stands, and will for ever
stand fresh in the picturings of fadeless mem
ory, to be reverted to even through myriads
of ages, with ever growing pangs or pleasure.
Whatever may be the record of the past,
wisdom will tell you to be faithful to truth,
now, in estimating yourselves. But can yoo
now judge yourselves truly 1 There is
nothing, in all the wide range of possible in.
vestigation, io which you are so likely to be
deceived. We think and reason in regard to
ourselves as we do on no other subject. Da
vid could promptly pronounce a wise judge
ment about the poor man's lamb, while re
morselessly guilty of an enormously greater
crime of the very same sort. How long and
grievously nay wt be deceived by one in
whom we have confidence ! Much more do
we deceive ourselves. "Hear both sides'we
say when others are concerned, but in our
own ease, are quit satisfied with the single
voice of a passion or a prejudice.
If ever you need to ezaains yourselves
j b"ne-ly, i' u ne-. Yei rf i-arur.g wj
with nothing but yourselvesfor cap-
lock. A mariner needs more than
ital and Mod
compass and chronometer. Tbe ship itself
must be sea-worthy and well found. Try
yourselves, and compare your powers with
your pursuits
4 vlraat. din nuM ferro recusant
Quid valeajit burner!1 Ifoa.
You are not only liable to make a false es
timate of yourselves.but sure to do so without
(i oil's teachings and God's gifts. Meekness,
forbearance, benevolence, love of justice, and
a good conscience, will be more to you than
all classic lore, all scientific knowledge.
Now, IK. Turn and survey the future.
What do you see! A life 1 Aye, and ai
death, too ! and a judgementl and an eterni
ty! As to life, prize it as yon may, its value
is diminished by just so much as has elapsed;
like a treasure reduced by expenditures pro
visions by consumption- Common expendi
tures may be met by income, and provisions
reolaced bv nnrchase.but von can not earn
lime, nor replace opportunities. Not only is
a very serious portion of your lives gone, but
what is left is less valuable. Try to feel tins
fact.l
Yon leave this rostrum to begin that career
which is to test the value of your present at
tainments. Among these, good and extensive
as they are, experience is yet wanting; and
you may acquire it at dreadful cost. Happy
for yoo, if by hearkening to wise councils.you
avail yourselves of the experience of others.
This hour, responsibilities cluster npon you.
Yon are now to play the part cf men, of
young men, of young Americans, of educated
young Americans, of educated young Ameri
cans in 1857. What more could be said to
show your responsibilities!
If your education has only taught you things
you were ignorant of, it has amounted only to
a decent diversion, a mental entertainment;
for "letters," as Lord Bacon says, Mo nol suf
ficiently teach their own use." But if you are
trained men, as well as taught, as we hope
yon are, blessed shall your career be, and
blessed the world for your culture.
One principal feature in your circumstan
ces this day, is, that you stand on thedividing
I line between help and hindrance. Up to Ihis
point, from your very birth, you have been
under the care of those who gave you warm
sympathy, true counsel and sound learning.
Henceforth, it will not be so. Whatever di
versity of lot may be yours, one part of it, so
prominent as to characterize the whole, will
be the overcoming of difficulties They lie in
every path but that of brief and boundless in
dulgence. Your best plans will be opposed;
your best efforts obstructed ; resulting often
in your utter defeat. You will have more bad
advice than good, and be more easily induen
ed by it than by good. The whole history of
man is a record of his proclivity to listen to
v.il nwanl. - UaaS.4a . e
and the difficulty of establishing truth. Hence

coming struggle, and so steadily a final judg -
mcnt as to embrace it in every plan and ev-
ery pleasure. All the honor or use of life,
lies in its reference to its finality. In vain
will you submit to drudgery, refuse ease, and
postpone pleasure, if the whole is an abor
tion. Let it not, then, seem uncouth that I
this day, amid your pomps and rejoicings,
talk of life's great end. Of all follies possible.
none is so huge, so utterly preposterous, as to
suffer the thonght of death to blight our fes-
tivities. or make us sick at heart. The very
reason why there is so little happiness on
earth, is, that such though,, will sometimes
come, and to shun these men give themselves
to gratifications which exclude reflection,
Spending life in chasing false goodsand last
ing frivolous indulgences, they either die in
the hot pursuit, or turn from the whole with
disgust, and end their lives denouncing the
vanities of the world and declaring as the re
sult of their experience that happiness is not
attainable on earth.
But Ihe Word of God says happiness i at
tainable on earth. Millions have enjoyed life;
and so may you. But it can only be by using
life's goods in full and impressive view of
life's end and life's law. Happiness is not in
things of earth, and does not therefore depend
on what we have, but on the satisfactions of
Ihe inner man. li is just so in heaven. Even
there, happiness consists not in repose, or
crowns, or harps, or wings, or golden streets.
bnl in tbe presence of God, and the absorp
tion of our will in His. This all can be had
on earth ; and so earthly happiness is just as
attainable as heavenly, and by the very same
means.
Si fraetna tllabatar orbis

Thus the fear of God is, to earthly enjoyments,
what healthy hunger is to a feast the very
essence of the good. It will make yon so use
the common blessings, that your home shall
be no whit less pleasant to you than Paradise
was to Adam, for you will learn like Paul to
rejoice even in tribulation,
O what a beautiful and blessed thing will
your life be, thns lived! Death, instead of
being a grim ghost, to baunt and horrify, will
be a bright angel,standingbyyour goal to cheer
and animate you. All vour work and all
your relaxation, your studies and teachings,
society and solitude, success and defeat, shall
be serene and sweet, in goodness and in love;
and when the dead are waked, you shall leap
from the tomb, a ransomed sonl, a saved sin
ner, a son of God! -
And now, my young friends Farewell !

ult., protests against this interpretation of
I the action of tbe Convention. W copy
I the paragraph in point :
"Another paragraph refers to tbe tabl
ing a resolution to instruct our nominee to
support tbe Constitution framed in Sep
tember next, whether it be submitted to
the people or not. This quettion teat laid
on the table, BUT NOT, as your correspon
dent would insinuate, because TDK con
vention WAS IN FAVOa OF SUBMITTING
the Constitution to the people, but
because the passage of such a resolution 1 among the descendants of Revolutionary
was regarded as unnecessary and injudi- j etoes ; Kansas where regiments of U.
cious, and was considered as operating to arj marchi , M lU ,.col.
trammel and incumber the nominee, in i . . t
uhom tbe Convention had the hiyhest con- J '"tors in robbing the honest yeomanry of
A,ence, by imposing on him a question.the I the land, under laws passed by a Legtsla
action on which was beyond his control, ' ture notoriously chosen by the people of
and not coming within the sphere of his
official duties."
Let us hear no more about the pro sla-
very Democracy of Kansas being willing
to submit the Constitution to a vote of the
people of that Territory. Nol They are
as much opposed to it as Jeff. Davis, or
Keitt, or Mason,or Douglas.or the Demo

On the 17th July, a committee of citi
zens of Lawrence visited Gov. Walker at
bis camp, to know if bis alleged Procla
mation was genuine, and what meant
this hostile demonstration in time of en
tire domestic peace. The Governor ac
knowledged the genuineness of the Procla
mation, at the same time expressing sur
prise that there should have been doubts
to the contrary. He stated that tho ob
ject of his visit was because he had un
doubted information, both written and
verbal, that a combination is formed in
this Territory of a few disaffected men, to
establish town governments, then county,
and then a State government, in opposi
tion to the Territorial government and that
of the United States. And this movement
was intended to be commenced in this
town of Lawrence, then Quindaro, Osawa
tomie, and other towns in this Territory.
Said he, "Two Governments can not exist

Lawrence, July 24, 1857.
The recent and last invasion of Law
rence by the United States troops, led on ;
by Gov. Walker, bas aud will continue to
cause considerable excitement in Kansas.
"Proclamation to thecitizensof Lawrence,"
announced it as his intention to prevent
the organization of the city government.

sas the most contemptible, on account of.
bis drunkenness and imbecility. His very
name has become a reproach, and he has
been hissed and despised by all parties.
But his most insane act becomes respecta
ble when compared with the threatening
and last great act of Walker "Troops
quartered among us in the time of peace"
for the purpose of intimidating the people
and to prevent the carrying out of the
much vaunted principles ot "squatter sover
eignty !"
But, notwithstanding the threatening
aspect of Walker's armed force, the work
of organizing towns and cities still goes on.
The people accept the issue, and are deter
mined to vindicate their constitutional
risbts.
Mr. Walden of Quindaro, editor of tho i
Ckindoaan, called upon His Excellency a
few days since, and informed him that it
was tbe intention of the citizens of that
town to organise a municipal government
for themselves. Tbo Governor's reply Li
one eharacteristio of the man, and his fail
ure to execute his threat is another. "Mr.
Walden, if Quindaro organises a eity gov
ernment, tbey will do it is opposition- to
