De-iew, LLlD., at the Centennial of the Inaugura tion of George Washington, first Pres ident of the United States, from the ster of the Treasury Building, New York. April i. ISO: Wo celebrate to-day the Centenary of our Nationality. ''iiu hundred yearn ago the United h'utcs began their existence. The powers of government were assumed by the people of the Republic, and they became the sole source of authority. The solemn ceremonial of the first inauguration, the reverend oath of Washington, the acclaim of the multitude greeting their President, marked the most unique event of modern times in the development of free Institutions. The occasion wai not an accident, but a result. It was the culmination of the working out by mighty forces through many centuries of the problem of self-government. It was not tho triumph of a system, the applica tion of a theory, or tho reduction to prac- hok. CHAO.votr m. nErnw. tice of the abstractions of philosophy. The time, the country, the hereditv and envir onment of the people, the folly of its ene mies, and the noble courage of its friends, gave to liberty after ages of defeat, of trial, of experiment, of partial siicceis and substantial gains, this immortal victor'. Henceforth it liad a refuge and recruiting station. Ttic oppressed found free homes in this favored land, and invisible armies, marched from it by mail and telegraph, by speech and wing, by precept and example, to regenerate the world. Puritans in Now England. Dutchmen in New York, Catholics in Maryland, Hugue not in South Carolina had felt the tires of persecution and were wedded to religious liberty. They had tarn purified in the fur nace, and in nigh debate and on bloody bat tlouclds had learned to sacrifice all ma terial interests and to peril their liven for human right. The principles of constitu tional government had been impressed upon them by Hundreds of yearn o: nig gle, and for each priucipta they could joint to the grave of an ancestor whose death attested the ferocity of the fight and the value of the concession wrung from arbitrary power. 1 hey knew the llmit-tions of authority, they could pledge their lives and fortunes to reit en croachments upon their rights, but it re quired the lesson of Indian mas-sacres, the invasion of the armies rf France from Canada, the tyranny of the llritihh Crown, the seven years' war of the devolution, and the live years of chaos of the Confederation to evolvothe idea, upon which rest the power and permanency of the I!eublic, that liberty and union are one and iusopar alrfe. These men were not revolutionists, they were the heirs and the guardians of the priceless treasures of mankind. Tho Brit ish King anil his Ministers Vurc the revolu tionists. They were reactionaries, seeking arbitrarily to turn back the hands upon the dial of time. A year of doubt and debute, the. baptism of blood upon the h.ittle-liclds, where soldiers from every colony fought, under a common standard, and con solidated the Continental Army, gradually lifted the soul and understanding ot this im mortal Congress to the sublime declaration: "We, therefore, tho representatives of the Uuited States of America, in general Con cress assembled, appealing to liiu Supreme Judge of tho world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the au thority nfieoiiiMi ;,ruV of these colonies, solemnly publish and decline that these united colonies are. and of right ought to lie, firt.nml iiuiVprrinVrif S'nt n." To this declaration John Hancock, pro scribed and threatened w lth death, atbxed a signature which has stood foracentuiv like the pointers to the North Star in tla firmament of freedom, and Charles Carroll, taunted that among many CarroIIs, he, the richest man in America, might escape, added description and identification with "of Carrolltou." Benjamin Harrison, a dele pato from Virginia, the ancestor of the dis tinguished statesman and soldier who to day so worthily lil.s the chair of Washing ton, voiced tho unalterable determina tion and defiance of tho Congress. He selicd John Hancock, upon whose bead a price was set. in his arms. and placing him in the Presidential chair, said: "We will show Mother Britain how little we care for her by making our President a Massachusetts man, whom she nas excluded from pardon by public oc latnation;" and when they were signing the Declaration, and the slender Klbridge Ger ry uttered the grim pleasantry. "We must hang together or surely we will hang se arately. ' tho portly Harrison responded with the more daring humor. "It will lie all over with me in a moment, but you will be kicking- in the air half an boar after I am gone." Thus flashed athwart the great charter, which was to be for its signers a death-warrant or a diploma of immortality. as with firm hand, nigh purt.OM and un daunted resolution they subscribed their names, this mockery of fear and the penal ties of treason. More clearly than any statesman of the period did Thomas Jefferson grasp and di vine the possibilities of popular govern ment. He caught and crystallized the spirit of free institutions Hi pi ilosophical mind was singularly free from tho power of precedents or the chains of prejudice. He had an unquestioning and abiding faith in the people, wldch was accepted by but few of his compatriots. Upon his famous axiom, of tho equality of all men before the law, he constructed his eVftern. It was the trip-hammer essential for the cmcr Jtency to break tho links binding the colo nies to imperial authority, and to pulverize the privileges of cate. It inspired him to write the Declaration of Independence, and persuaded him to doubt the wisdom of the powers concentrated inthe constitution. In his passionate love of liberty he became in tensely jealous of authority. He destroyed the substance of rovalprcrogatlve.but never emerged from its shadow. He would have the States as the guardians of iiopular rights and the barriers against cen tralization, and ac saw in the grow ing power of the Nation ever-Increasing encroachments upon the rights of the peo ple. For the tuccer of tho pure Democracy which must precede. Presidents and Cab inet and Congresses, it was perhaps provi dential that its apostle never believed a great people could grant and still retain, conld give and at will reclaim, could dele gate and yet firmly hold the authority which ultimately created the power ef thelx -emblic and enlarged the scope of their ewn liberty. J'Jhere this master-mind halted, all stood till. The necessity for a permanent Union was apparent, bat each State must hare "sow upon the bowstring which enclr hn its Uroat It was admitted that union 72. ."chinerr required to .

To raise four millions of dollars a year was beyond the resources of the Government, and three hundred thoasand was tlie limit of the loan it could secure from the money-lenders of Europe. Even Washington exclaimed in despair: "I see one bead gradually changing into thirteen; I see one army gradually branching into thirteen, which, instead of looking up to Congress as the supreme controlling power, are considering themselves as depend ing on their respective State?." And later, when independence had been won, the impotency of the Gov ernment wrung from him the exclama tion: 'After gloriously and successfully contending against the usurpation of Great Itritaiu, we may fall a prey to our own folly and disputes." Hut even through this Cimmerian dark ness shot a flame which illumined the com ing century, and kept bright the beacon files of liberty. The architects of consti tutional freedom formed their Institutions with wi-dom which forecasted the future. They may not have understood at first the whole truth, but, for that which they knew, they had the martyrs' spirit and the cru saders' enthusiasm. Tho government of the republic by aCon irress of State, a diplomatic convention of the ambassadors of iietty commonwealth, after seven years' trial, was falling asunder. Threatened with civil war among its meml)crs. insurrection aud lawlessness rife within tho States, foreign commerce ruined and internal trade par.Uyzcd. it cur rency worthies, its mercnanis nangrupi, its farms mortgaged, its markets closed, it labor unemployed, it was like a helpless wreck upon the ocean, tossed about by tho tides and ready to bo engulfed in the storm. Washington gave the warning and called for action. It was a voice accustomed to command, but now entreating. The vet erans of the war and the statesmen of the devolution stepped to tho front The patriotism w hiuh ucd been misled, but had never faltered, rose above the interests of States and tho Jealousies of Jarring Con federates to find the basis for union. "'It is clear to mo as A. B, C," said Washington, "that an extension of Federal powers would make us one of the most nappy, wealthy, resectable and powerful nations that ever inhabited tho terrestrial globe. Without them we shall soon be every thing which is the direct reverse. I predict the worst consequences from a half starved, limping Government, always mov ing upon crutches, and tottering at every step.'' Tho response of the country was the convention of 17S7. at Philadelphia. The Declaration of Independence was but the vestibule of tho temple, which this illustri ous assembly erected. With no successful precedents to guide, it auspiciously worked out the problem of Constitutional Govern ment, aud of imperial power and home rule, supplementing each other in promot ing the grandeur of the Nation, and preserv ing the lllierty of the individual. The deliberations of great councils have vitally affected, at different periods, the history of the world and the fate of Em pires; but tlds Congress bullded, upon pop ular sovereignty, institutions broad enough to embrace the continent, and clastic enough to tit all conditions of race and traditions. The experience of a hundred years has demonstrated for us the perfection of the work, for de fense again -it foreign foes, and for self preservation against dome i tic insurrection, for limitless expansion in population and material development, and for steady growth in intellectual freedom and force. Its continuing influence upon the welfare and destiny of the human race can only be measured by the capacity of man to culti vate and eu'iov the boundless opportunities of liberty and law. Tim eloquent character ization of Mr. Gladstone condenses its merits: "The American Constitution is the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man." Tho statesmen who composed this great Senate were equal to their trust Their conclusions were the results ef calm debate and wise concession. Their character and abilities were so pure and great as to com mand the confidence of the country for the reversal of tho policy of the Independence of the State of the power of the general Government, which had hitherto been the invariable practice and almost universal opinion, and for the adoption of the idea of the Nation and Its supremacy. Towering in majesty and influence above them all stood Washington, their President Beside him was the venerable Franklin, who, though elKhty-ouo years of age, brought to the deliberations of the conven tion the unimpaired vigor and resources of tho wisest brain, the most hopeful philosophy, and the largest experience of the times. Oliver Ellsworth, afterwards Chief Justice of the United State, and the profoundest jurist in the country; Kobert Morris, the won dertul financier of tho Revo lution, and Gouvcrneur Morris, the most versatile genius of his period; Itoger Sher man, one of the most eminent of tho sign ers of the Declaration of Independence, aud John Kutledge. Kufus King. Klbridge Gerry, Edmund Ilaudolpli and the Piuckncys, were icnoers ot unoquaieu patriotism, courage, ability and learning; while Alexander Ham ilton and James Madison, as original think ers aud constructive statesmen, rank among the immortal few whoso opinions havo for ages guided Ministers of State and deter mined the destinies of nations. There wereuoexnmnlcstofollow, and the experience of its members led part of them to lean toward absolute centralization as the only refuge from the anarchy of the confederation, while the rest clung to the sovereignty of the States, for fear that the concentration otrpowtr would end in the absorption of liberty. The larg" States did uot want to surrender the advantage of their position, and the smaller States saw the danger to their existence. At this crisis the courage and confidence needed to originate a system weakened The temporizing spirit of compromise seized the convention with the alluring proposition of not proceeding taster than the people could lie educated to fol low. The cry: "Let us not waste our labor upon conclusions which will not bo adopted. but amend and adjourn. was assuming startling unan imity. But the supremo force and majestic sense or Washington brought the assem blage to th j lo'.ty piano of its duty and op portunity. He said: "It is too probable that no plan we propose will be adopted. Perhaps another dreadful conflict is to be sustained. If to please the people we offer what we ourselves disapprove, how can we afterwards defend our work? Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair: the event Is in the hands of God.' Freed from the limitations of itsenvir n ment. and the question of the adoption of its work, the convention erected its Gov ernment upon the eternal foundations of the power of the people. It discussed the delusive theory of a compact between in dependent States, and derived National rawer from the people of the United States. It broke up the macnlnery of the Confeder ation and put in practical operation the flittering generalities of tho Declaration of ndependence. From chaos came order. from insecurity came safety, from disintegra tion and 'civil war came law and liberty, with the principle proclaimed in the pre amble of the great charter. "We. the peo ple of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, in sure domestic tranquility, protldo for the common defense, promote the general wel fare, and secure the blessings ot liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States." With a wisdom inspired of G"d. to work out upon this continent th liberty of man. thev solved the problem of the nge bv blending and yet preserving local self-government with' National authority, and the rig ts ot the States, with the majesty and power ot the Republic The government of the States, under the ar ticles of confederation, became bankrupt oecause it could not raise four millions of dollars; the Government of the Union, un der the constitution of the United States, raised six thousand millions of dollars, its credit: growing firmer as its power and re sources were demonstrated. The Congress of the confederation fled from a regiment, which it could not pay; the Congress of the Union reviewed the comrades of a mllfiea of its victorious soldiers, salntfas; as they marched the flat; of the Nation, whose sn premacy they had sustained. Tae pride of the States and the smMtioa of their leaders, secttoaal Jealoaaies, and the overwhelming distrast of ceatraUsed power, were all arraved against the adop tion of the coasiitattoa. Success was due to coaldeac fa Waaa- imraoa and the renins ef Alexai tttoa. Jefferson was tae tneaaratioa ef dnandence. bat Hamilton nor use uus mimsium im try aaa taats Misaratt a the New Yoik convention by tho splendor ot his orautry. But the multitudes whom no argument could convince, who saw in the Executive power and centralized force of the consti tution, under another name, the dreaded usurpation of King and Ministry, were sat isfied onlv with the assurance, "Washington will be President" it quieted alarm and gave confidence to the timid and courage to the weak. He alone could stay assault and inspire confidence while the great and complicated machinery of organized government was put in order and set in motion. Doubt ex isted nowhere except in his modest and un ambitious heart His whole life bad been spent in repeated sacrifices for his couutry's welfare, and he did not hesitate now. though there is an under tone of inexpressible sadness in this entry in his diary on the night of his departure': "Alnjut ten o'clock I bde adieu to Mount Vernon, to private life, and to domestic felicity, and with a ciind oppressed with more anxious and painful sensations than I have words to express, set out for New York with the best dlsjiosition to render service to my country in obedience to its call, but with less hope of answering its exjecta tions." No conqueror was ever accorded such a triumph, no ruler ever such a welcome. In this memorable march of six days to the Capitol, it was the prid'j of States to ac company him with the masses of their peo ple to their borders, that the citizens of the next commonwealth might ecort him through ita territory. He had visited "New York thirty-three years leforc. aleo in the month of April, in tho rull perfection of bis early manhood, fresh, from Draddock's bloody field, and wearing the only laurels of the battle, bear ing tho prophetic blessing of the venerable Iresident Davics, of Princeton College, as "That heroic youth. Colonel Wash ington, whom I can not but hope Prov idence has hitherto preserved in so signal a manner for some important service to the country." It wasa lair daughter ot our State whose smiles allured him here, and whose coy confession that her heart was another's' recorded his only failure, and sad dened his departure. Twenty years passed, and he stood before the New York Con gress, on litis very spot, the unanimously chosen Commander-in-Chief of the Conti nental army, urging the people to more vig orous measures, and made painfully aware of the increased desperation of the strug gle, from the aid to be given to the ene my by domestic sympathizers, when he knew that the same'local military com pany which escorted him was to perforin the like service for the British Governor Tryon on hi landing on the morrow. l(e tufuing for the defence of the city the next summer, he executed the retreat from Long Island, w hich secured from Frederick the Great the opinion that a great commander had appeared, and at Harlem Heights ha won the first American vic tory of the Revolution, which gave that confidence of our raw recruits against the famous veterans of Europe which car ried our army triumphantly through the war. Six years more of untold sufferings, of freezing and starving camps, ef marches over the snow by bare-footed soldiers to heroic attack and splendid victory, of de spair witli an unpaid army, and of hoie from tne generous assistance of France, and peace had come and Independence triumphed. As the Jat soldier of the invading enemy embarks, Wash ington at the head of tho patriot host enters the city, receives the welcome and gratitude of its people, aud in the tanerv walcn luces us across tne way, in silence more nloqurnt than speech, and with tears which cboao the words, he bids farewell forever to his companions in arms. Such were the crowding memories of the ast suggested to Washington in 17SU by his ap proach to New York. Washington was never dramatic, but on great occasions he not only rose to the full ideal of the event, he became himself the event One hundred years ago to-day the procession of foreign Ambassadors, of stat'smen and Generals, of civic societies and military companies, which escorted him, marched from Franklin square to Pearl street, through Pearl to Broad, and up liroad to this spot. but the people saw only Washington. As ho stood upon the steps of the old Government building here, the thought must have occurred to him that it was a cradle ot liberty, and as such giv ing a bright omen for the f iitiire.

Then Christ unwraps liiniselt of His mortuary np parel ami tnks the tut bin fiom Hit head and folds it up ds iboratn'y and lays it down in one ptnee and puts the hroud in another plnce and com out and finds that the soldier who hail Nea on guard are lying around, pallid and in a dead woou. tKeir sword bent and useless. The illustrious priootier of the tomb I dl chaiged and five hundred jv-opl see hi in - resurrection and tail while they were oven oino of lnmter the Christians had played resurrection Uts aud stolen the corpse. The Mury are at the tomb with aromatic. Way did not the women of th text , oring thorns and nettle, for these would have more thoroughly expressed the p err- log sorrow of themselves and their lord? j Why did they not bring som national an- stgu, such as that of the Itonim engle, t pk-al of conqu-st? No they bring aro- aialics suggestive to me of th fact that the (Sopel la to sweeten and iletsloriz the world. Th wtTld has so much of m putrefaction an I matador that ChrWt is going to roll over It wave of frankin- cenaand sprinkle it all over w.th weet melling myrrh.

How dnrs th world so often iuult tint feature of the human race which God ha made the most p-omlnent feature in hu , man phyiognom ? To prove how II Himself loves aromatic I bring the fact that tliere are millions of flowers on prairies ami in meuutnln fastnesses the fragrance of w hich no human lin. ever bresthe.. anl He must ha grown there for His own regalement.
