We publish this week a part of the Oration of Mr. Laird's. Lack of space will not permit u publishing only a part. We regret this very much, as we think all of our readers who did not have the pleasure of listening to Mr. Laird would undoubtedly enjoy reading the whole, fie spoke a fol lows : Turn back one hundred and one years come September nest. It is tlie occasion of the first Congress ever as sembled on this continent. The time is 5h September, 177 If" and the place Old Carpenters Hall, Philadelphia Boston is blockaded. The British fleet lies broadside up again' the town. Trade is dead, but the spirit of resist ance does not bleep. Sam Adams has r called a Congress. It has mot. 52 members, delegates from all the colo nics save Georgia. There arc the Adamses of .Mas., Jay of New York, Dickerson of Pa., lloudolph, Wash ington, and Patrick Henry of Virginia, and Gadsden, and the llutiedgcs from South Carolina. It is the second day of the (session. The doors arc closed. The preliminaries despatched. A oppressive silence prevails. No man seems willing to break that silence. They perhaps begin to notice ior the 'first time the full sublimity of their position, about to throw down the challenge of defiance not only to Eng land, but to ull the world. The coun try ilauics with impatience. Massachu setts chained like another Ptomeihcus to her own royal rocks, because she, like him, brought firo from heaven, waits bravely lor deliverance. Still they pause, but thank God not us cowards. It was the grandest gather ing of strength for tho grandest leap that ever nation has taken yet into the bloody pool of war. What though be i'oio their vision come obstacles so enormous as to obscure tho hope of others, those were to them but stimu lus, for wheu right commands there is no retreat, and added danger does but doubled honor give. What though before them rose the stulce the miter or thii'tomb, they were iu such course to cither fortune equal. Freedom never kuows despair, and the right fchull como to empire though steel of armies and the crash of doom oppose. Suddenly, cue of their number stood up, tall, swarthy, large mouth, high forehead, burning eyes. lie began hesitatingly, stumbling through the first sentences as though oppressed with the weight of the position. lie reviews the wrongs of the colonies for i he last ten years, and .prcsenilyjijs '.eyes Hash fire ; his voice rings out like the pcaliug of the trumpet that never calls retic.it. Ho seemed to speak, (say the reports) not like mortal man. He is iu advance of all tho delegates .-ave Gadsden and the Adamses. He says, "an entirely new government must be formed, this is the first in a never ending succession of Congresses,' anj then turning upon the assembly, he seemed to thunder so sublime was the voice, he uttered the whole his tory of the Revolution iu one sentence, "British oppression has effaced the boundaries of tho several colonies, 1 am no lonucr a Virginian 1 am an American." Greece stood ou the platform with Deuiostheues ; Out raged Rome thundered her maledic tions against Catiline with the tongue of Cicero ; The proud eloquence of Chatham rang the triumphs of the Eugluh name : France stood still to hear her Mirabeau ; Ireland herself pleaded for liberty when Grattan spoke, and the voice of t'atnek Henry was the voice of America struggling to be free. The tide of debate rolled o"n high and full. Dickeraon tho Penn sylvania farmer spoke into existence that uuiversal weapon, "No taxation without representation." Gadsdeu said rcplyiug to an expression of fear regarding the coast towns: "Our towns are built of wood and brick, if they are burned down we can build them up again, but liberty once lost is lost forever." Washington made this most eloquent speech, 'i will raise a thousand men, subsist them at my own expense, and march with them to tho relief of Boston." Now with the first and last Congress before you, I a.A. you to draw the Hue and strike a balance. The lt against the 43d, and tell me whether we have kept the faith T Do not shrink from the test. e are citizens ot this republic, co equal sovereigns of one of the proude-it realms from the Gauges to the icebergs have high and mighty rcponi bilivif's to discbarge. Reverse the century, put the 43rd Congress where the 1st one stood, and- tell me, would wo stand where we do to-day? I do not know, but if the black omens do not lie, then judging from the latest Mobilier, the salary grab,, the Pacific ropery, and-the geucral subsidy rottenness, tusieaa or siauumg wncrc wo do on the heights with the. proud est uations, we would still be trodden under the feet of empire, still reeling, the weight of British chains, chains all the more galling because riveted by England's accursed gold. The crimes of recent legislation cannot be, atoned by saying there is no more corruption now than there was then There has got to be less, or we are drifting surely to an ignominious doom, and it so by 'whoscitault? by our fault. Let us meet the issue squarely But you say, areyou not a Republican ? I am. Why then assail a Republican Congress ? Because, con uption is not Republican or Democratic, it is crime. And if it were the one or the other, tben let us auswer-manfally this, before tee art Republican or Democrats, we are AlHtricans,. before weare-paxtixass we are citizens; not of this ac that party,, bat of the country, and to .har. we owe first, last and forever, eur lkeef, our fortums and our aaercf Aeior. We wilb'staad for our parties ae we start forour cwiatry aot right er wreag bK if-tejag t put her Jikt, if right to awujHhgMt- Woe ?t the Mtioa andskiMVW'tEe party that under cloatof partisan fealty shall attempt! to shelter the pcrpetratcrs of crime against the country. Party, what is party? It is a combination or men who think alike for the accomplish ment of what they con idcr the public good. It is the action of principles up on intelligence, having for its object the government of the country. Par ries in th?3 country are the trees of knowledge, and men are as leaves to its branches. Shall the tree perish because the leaves wither beneath cor rupting wind? No, perish the leaves but live the good old oak etern.lly, if it will, while states flourish beneath ifs shadow. To day we meet not as partisans, but a citizens ; not as poli ticians but as Americans, having but one platform, the constitution and the laws ; but one altar, that of tho coun try's good ; but one guide, that of un selfish patriotism ; but one boa-t. and that of yon flag that floats so proudly in the winds exulting in its freedom. Fki.low Citizens: A few words upon a. second proposition, and 1 am done, it is this, that there ia a lack ot patriotic public spirit on the part of Lthe people in the matter of politic, as witness the Credit Mobilier, toe Sal ary Grab, the Pacific Mail Robbery, and the general subsidy legislation. The danger of tho i'Jih century is from within and nut without And that danger will arise from this, the unpatriotic indifference of the people, their lack of appreciation -of tho rela tion in which they stand to the general government, and a want of public spirit iu the matter of giving the right dircctipo to tho incipient forces which 'culminate in tho state and national governments. The caucus governs the republic, and the nation instead of being ruled by ten millions of voter is ruled by less than one. This simply means that the government instead of reflecting in its legislation the honesty und wisdom of its ten millions of vo ters, reflects mure likely tho dishonesty and vn-teisdom of the perhaps twu hundred thousands managers of the caucuses and conventions, county, state, and uational. A few years ago the South introduced us to King Cot ton. Still a few years, and the farm ers introduced us to King Corn, and now Congress and the subsidy lobbyists have introduced us to King Caucus ; aud judging of the works of this ques tionable monarch, it becomes us to bo alive to our duty. Who that is con vvrsant with the legislation of the last lew years doe3 not agree with me when I say that indifference to any necessary pnrt of our political machin ery is a crime ? We have a right to do as we please, you say, co to or stay from the caucus aud election. You havo h right to do as you please only this far. You can bum your houe, provided it stands where its burning will not injure the property of others. But if it stands iu the streets of your town, you cannot destroy it without committing a crime. So you have a right to neglect your duties as a citi zeu, providing you know it will not imperil my rights, or the rights of the forty million others equally interested with you in good government, and iut only them, but the one hundred mill ions that will come bo fore tho neces sity fur good laws will die. Genllemcn, you talk of comnulrory education. We do not need compul-ory education half so much as we need compulsory vot ing, imdJiot compulsory .voting- at the elections, but at tho caucuses. For nine tiiuci nut often an erroneous step tuken by the caucus or convention is never remedied. i.rou talk of women voting. Don't talk of that, until the men havo nerve and public spirit enough to turn out. In ome places it is popular "to sneer at politics, and defile the caucus as corrupt. If cor rupt, what is Hie duty ? Is corruption cured by sneers and curses. Where tho rascals are is the place for men to go. The men who sneer at polities are they who lie and sun themselves in the glorious light, which honest men have wrenched from the angry fates, by the force of the bullet and the bal lot. The caucus is tho cradle of our laws. From it go forth the infant forces, which when matured become the governing forces. Whoever sneers at the caucus, would. 1 suppose, sneer at a baby, exclaiming, what is the good of a dirty baby? It is this good, that it may become a man, with patri otism and eloquence enough to well supplant the fools who dare uot touch the fundamental forces of our govern ment for fear of defilement. This is not a question of choice. The duty is enforced. Yv'c must govern or go un governed. The government is what wo make it, and we are what we make ourselves; as we are, mut it be. The government by less than a majority is no government. But .so are we gov erned through the fact, that as a rule, one out of a hundred attends the cau cus. The natiou needs a political re vival, and all of us need conversion. Forty millions governed by less than one million tells of thirty-nine millions asleep upon their arms, while the bat tle of the world rolls before them. This is whutner we will it or not, a government of the people, for the peo ple and by the people. And whoever I'ecling the danger denies the appeal which the facts make for a better de votion to. the practical duties of citi zenship is one who deserts the line in the face of the enemy. The future will be worthy of the past if we are worthy of tho present. The pivot up on which eternity wheels is this hour: and whether concord or discord shall mark the epochs of tho natiou turns upon the ability and patriotism with which the citizens of this day, dis charge the all embracing duties of this hour. Humbly though it be, we are acting iu an audience of age. Those past are present in history, those to come are before us in our children and hopes. Gentlemen, you plouzh deep and sow carefully. You watch, with prayerful solicitude for the rain, (aud in this country for the grasshoppers. ) Yoa are governed in all your acts by a profound prudence, and all to the end that you may harvest a fair crop. I call upon you to exercise the same prudence with respect to 'the goveru uieut ofyour country, as you do in the government ofyour farms. For I be lieve reflection will teach you that there is no better season for the farm er thau that which brings good laws and an economic administration of the affairs of the state. We have looked upon two evils that do ormay threat en the country. One ari.-iug from a lack of patriotic devotion to it as a na tion, the other arising from the lack of public 'spirited attention to the makim? ef its-laws. W hat is the rem- ,eiy. The remedy Tor one is the rem edy for both, .and the remedy tor both fs in as ia the people; We mast edu cated Wmst bave menftr citizen s&iprBOt leave it to cfeaooevvTbe-Juld Mkoeld: driak? ia. patriotisav -ritK its aatatts -aiHt .learn k .frofatitsjfath-, eti prayers,- stoold- bear it in the scheota.- It shoaU'be preached from ike pulpit, be ikered. from tbe pnzm, it thok'd be recof aked ia the college' and university. We want systems for its impa-tations, just as Christianity wants systems for the importation of its reliciou belief. The political God of allcittzeui sbtu!d be the country. Tn conclusion, what would I hare ? I wou?d have every one of you pos9 a loyalty high and .-ublirac and im moveable as the rocks that underlie and overtop the sea. And i would have engraved in your mind yuur country and all her rlory even as the rocks are forever engraved on the face of the placid sea. I would have it stern, 1 say, and high as the hill?, but I would hive it restless as the ocean that never slumbers and is for ever full. I would have it warm and beautiful in pence a the sea at calm. But aroused I would have it terrible as the relentless ocean smitten by the storms, which grinds in its furiou embrace the trembling rocks to pow dcr. and lifts its raging cret against the frowning heavens. Do you tell me we are tale. 1 answer yes, to-day safe, but safe, only in this, that you are ignorant of.fanger. "Iltbat man safe who is drifting in the awful de scent of Niagara.

Agwill not perform the promises of youtii, and to you who would build the hopes of a grand national hereafter upoa the prcm lies that the sky oft. -day it dear, and tnat the cloud-; of danger ever impend ing to overshadow men and uations are dispelled by the sun of our pros perity which for a hundred years has been steadily pursuing its oven course, whether through a calm or stormy sky, to you I say, you would build, not up on the rocks anchored by eternal affin ites to the continent upon whose bosom they rest ; but you would build upon an iceberg impenetrable aud enduring only in appearance, but which would surely drift from its anchorage at the coining of tho first sufficient storm ; and which afloat in the heated seas of topic discussion would surely difsolve aud go to pieces leaving you for your consolation but the contemptible frag meuts of au otherwise universal state. Finally, fellow citizens, those among you who hold views, contrary to those expressed' here, speaking from the effervescence of the mind, may exclaim addressing themselves through you to the whok country', sleep on great land iu fieedom, trusting our future safety to that marvellous patronage of' circum stances which has borne us so bravely through pa-t ages. Thus would they lull us to our destruction, and from our ruin send freedom forth homeless upon the world. Thus fa'so confidence more ruthless thau war brooding ore the laud shall yet exact vengenco on a conquered people. The July number of (The RepnMic magazine has been rccisved.
