On the present occasion, it will , beproper. to
cite several exampleS, illustrative of the influenee,
exerted by slob le men, on nations for CenNti'ea.
More than two thousand years-tigo;
Cartilage were engaged in a struggle for supra-
Macy: which, at first sight, 'a ppeared to involve',
only' the 'advantage of one powerfal nation over,
another and therefore not interesting to oilier tie:
Lions. But that was not infect the „issue joined
Whedthe yoUthfiittarthagenian pursuant to his
voce laid . siege to Saguntum, crossed the Alps
- eiaved his victorious banners. over :the bloody
,field of Cumae.,,.,,Tini . question was. whether
Rome Carthage should be blotted out:
Whether Roinan civilization and' law 'should
take its course toward Germany,. France and
-England and thence to us, or degenerate in,Bar
barY and be absorbed and lost in the sands a,
Africa. This really was the risk staked at Za
nia acd decided - in favor of the world when
victory declared for the legions, of' Imperial
Rome. It is the result that throws such a lustre:
• over the name of Scipio; not that Carthage fell.
but because Europe was saved.
Columbus is another name that will not soon
•be-forgotten: who enlarged the territory of the
human race, as if preparatory to the mighty ef
fort of mind in bursting asunder the bonds that,
had bound it to ignorance, superstition and ty
' ranny, and in striking out new trains of thought
which were destined to shake Europe tolls cen
tre and fit it for using .those splendid 'discoveries
in a way worthy of Aeir greatness, by planting
'Colonies in which thought hod opinion were to
be as free as the wind of heaven.
'The same principles that were - wrought out
in Saxorfy, and Switzerland in the sixteenth nen ,
airy were applied in the seventeenth to politics
by the Puritan Statesmen of England They
were in.the nature and formed ttie character of
that noble race of whom 'John, Elampden, Oliver
Cromwell and John Milton, may be named 'as
specimens—men whose names will be remem
bered as long as honesty is respected, genius ad
mired or liberty is loved. They were the tore
ranners of Franklin, of Hancock and of Wash
ington who merely commenced their work
where Hampden left oll . and in another hemi
sphere completed the noble Temple of human
right, whose foundation stones are laid deep and
immovable in God's , eternal Truth.
Among such men, the late President must be
classed. What particular rank, he shall take;
which niche, he shall fill in The Temple of Fame.
belongs not to us, but to posterity. to determine.
The fact that is settled, is that Taylor's name is
fixed 'in history—that Taylorea deeds can nev
er cease to affect both Elenfirpheres.
-Those whc have read history to any purpose.
are aware that no circumstance has been more
influential in deciding the destiny of natious, than
the extension of Territory and the incorporation
of new and to some extent, of 'foreign element in
the body politic. What, may - be the result in
any given case, no prudence can foresee: What
'must be, if pursued beyond the ability tc assimi
late as well as-tto incorporate, no blindness can
avoid perceiving.
In the matter. of extension, from small begin,
nines. we have made unprecedented progress,
even if the stakes that make our bOundanes
main for several generations where they are at
present.
There was a commercial necessity for the
purchase of Louisiana and border safety at the
time - required that no independent Sovereignty
rule in Florida. At this point the older race of
_Stati.smen stopped, being satisfied .with ..what ne
cessity had compelled them, wish many misgiv
ings. to-do ; but in our day, a less cautious spirit
has taken possession of the public Mind.- Uri
der its reign, no period of our history since the
ad - aption ofthe Federal Constitution, has been
more important•than the seven years last passed,
Within this short period, an independent State,
has been .absorbed in our onward movement
the war-cry, before unheard by most of the pres
ent generation, has resounded through our vat
lies & been re-echoed by our hills—armies con
mining -the floWer °four Youth have been mar
shalled--baules fought and won—the stars and
,the stripes of the Republic have waved in tri•
umph over the ramparts of the Most ancient city
on the Ccintinent—peace has returned again and
now there is scarcely 'a:ripple on the surface of
society to' indicate the storm that so lately raged
in its fury, and bore avvay so many gallant spirits
from the earth,but not from the proud and.gratc‘
fill recollections oftheir countrymen. The ban. 1
ners'ihey waved in victory art not yet furled--
they still wave the flag of Peace the emblem of

our Political Firmament.
But any view of the late conflict, which does
not contemplate the relations :which our extended
Republic sustains to other nations, must he defec
tine.
If the purposes of Divine Providence in this
matter be so far developed that wecan predict the
issue with any tolerable degree of certainty, the
time is not far distant when the once noble race
that made thernountains of Old Castile, the but
wails of Christendon and from their base rolled
back to Africa the mighty tide of Saracenic in
vasion, will be roused from their lethargy and
partake of the activity of their Anglo-Saxon
neighbors. - One thing is certain ; - Mexico can
not long remain as it is. It must become like
the States of the North in Order to - preserve its
nationatitragainst them.
Anntherrelation remains-to benoticed, before
the events of the-last seven years dour history
can be fully understood. The mariner compass,,
the a'rt of printing and the discovery of America,
were all preparatory to that mighty shaking of
mind in central Europe, under the iiiipulses of

singsi ' It is not improbable that the dove of
hoary-headed despotism and of ancient & venera
' ble idolatry are numbered. It is not improbable
that the Car of Liberty drawn forward by 'the
irresistible attentioii of the Free Grace' of God
that bringetli salvation to all nations, will at no
distant period traverse the plains of Asia where
might first . friutiiplaed over right.
In these events, connected with results, if not
precisely such as have been.describod, yet simi
lar ; Gen. Taylor was a chief actor, IC is true
indeed that the honortnust be shared with oth
ers; but they are enough to niakdthe age illus
trious and all - the distinguished actors, immortal.
We are assembled, therefore, for a higher object.
a nobler purpose than man-worship : We are
assembled to review a character that reflects glo
ry on our country and honor on our nature.—
That character, in our judgment can be fully
appreciated only when contemplated from the
direction we have approached its manifestations.
It must be seen not in a sectional point of view
or even nation's' but world-wide. . For as the
pelabledroppedin the ocean communicated. its
imptilsesto every particle of water, so the deeds
of the army of occupation. will mingle with drid
determine the stream of the world's history:
thus viewed battles are of intense interest not as
scenes of carnage, but as the decisions of god, as
permanent points of reference and as indicatiqns
of human character. These are the' media
through which the public' haracter 'of Gen:
Taylor must be'viewed
His military course was a strikingly splendid
one, from the beginning of it, to the end. The
llisplar of military. talrntt . made in the ch fence
of Fort Harrison proved that an opportunity was
all that was required in order to e'rninence in the
.profession of arms.
We next find him in the, war waged by the
U.S. against a combination'or Indian tribes un
der the celebrated Black Hawk and afterwards
finibhing the disasterous war in Florida by a
desperate battle near lake Okeechob e e :and last
ly we find. 'although he ranked no higher than .a
'Brigadier Gen.—and that bylireVet yet we find
him selected to command on the RI9 , wide in
.eiroutristances of great'danger and,still greater
responsibility. We all remember how the na•
Lion held its brerth, Atm our gallant countrymen,
