OR-A.TIQ2ST Delivered by Hon. O. P. ITCASOX, ontlie 4hof July, 1SG3, at tlic Narrovrs, Atchison County, Missouri, Were I a stranger among you, were I for the first time permitted to behold the greatness, strength and glory of the American republic,. I- should naturally be lead to enquire, what means this re joicing of the people, so general and un iversal, with banners flying, and martial rr.usic pealing through the air, all pro claiming the joy and triumph of the peo ple. Every where I thould hear the quick and ready response a nation has risen with one accord to do honor, with hearts filled with gratitude", thanksgiving and praise to our fathers who meditated and prepared and transmitted unto us fcur glorious Union and the best govern ment on the face of the globe. A gov ernment which bas and will continue to bleWmankind with its principles of toler ation, and civil and religious liberty. I thou d be told that eighty years ago to-day the sun rose clear and bjight, kis sing the Jeiv drop from off" the green foliage and reflecting sparkling beauties from the placid waters of the Deleware. That scarcely had its first rays dispersed the shades of night from Philadelphia, ?re stem men, than whom the world hus .ever seen nobler, mightier or abler nre seen wending their way through .he dusty streets of the Quaker city to vards Independence Hall. The popu ace hurrv after them with cheerful, :opeful,and hasty footsteps, the husband aan has left his plow; the mechanic his rorkshop; the laborer the field, the mer- hant the counter, the lawyer his brief, :nd the physician has ceased to remem er the languishing patient, and the wife ad maiden have left the cares of home, oung and old, high and low, rich and oor, all, all are hurrying on, and gather s' around old Independence Hall; the lultitude heed not the rays of the burn- ng sun, but there they remain quiet and rderly still watching and waiting with aopefull hearts the deliberations of the assembly now gathered within. The Congress of the United Colonies of America are assembled there, and their meditations, deliberations, and conclu sions ar e to fix the destinies of a nation, and speak, hope and life to the down trodden and oppressed throughout the world. They have often met in that fame hall before. These same patriot fathers sat there on the 17th of June, i when the pealing thunders of our can nons roar at Bankers Hill, woke to activ ity and life, the heaven born ideas of civil and religious liberty. Every voice is hushed in silence; every eye is fixed with high purpose and stern resolve; and upon the altar of every heart flames the fire of patriotic zeal. Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Sherman, Livingston, Han cock and CartoU are there. The sun has passed the meridian. It is dot two o'clock, and still the assembled multitude without are waiting. The President is in the chair; discussion has ended; the clerk is now calling the roll; the last but not least name of that assembly his been pronounced; the "ays" are recorded; the declaration of Independence is adopted. The joyous peals of the hell in that old Hall proclaim the glad tidings of a na tions birtb, that a people Mve been made free. The prolonged and -continued thonts of the multitude, the boomin? of cannon, the waving of banners, bonfires md illuminations ' proclaim a nations royv ' .The Declaration of Independence ha v- -ng passed, the joy of the moment was ade permment in the radiant sunlight f hope vhich pictured in the f utcre the oming glories of the infant nation. ler swaddling robes had already been ied in the blood of her citizens at Lex- gtoB, Concord, and Bunkers Hill. Al- ?ady that tyrant Power, whose red cross ig is painted with the blood of martyrs id wet with the tears of widows and nned by the sighs of orpahns, that pow- which glosses murder over with soft :rds, and sanctifies unholy blasphemy -th prayer; that tyrant power upon lose drum beat, the sunnever ses the yant power of Briton, had prepared to Uhe new-born infam nation with ships war, and her thundering cannon hand- J bJ 2500 mercenary and hired sol .ers. . .. But our fathersn, othing daunted, nev. r doubting, trusting in Him who said let there be light and there waslicht ' i.5 the rectitude of their intentions, rush- i to the defence xf the infant nation "A civil and religious liberty hard, hard -eed was the struggle, and the glcom a darkness impenetrable sare only by - raaiani star or hope. The nations the world looked on with wonder and omshment to see our infant republic, vhout army or money, surrounded by "ge and barbarous trihes oflndif.ns, ?'ng in deadly conflict with the might- and oldest kingly power on the face lhe globe, with her hundred ships of r aDd fcer hundred thousand veteran 3ie"3. Humanity trembled and wept gazf d upon the conflict. Civil and Jffious liberty, on bended knee, with reveled hair and -upturned eyes sent h prayer to the throne of the living - The answer came at last. The aking thunders of our cannons roar, Monmouth, Bennington, Saratoga and ""frown, prochimed throughout the sad archway 0f heaven and of the as- the livins God is with the infant republic. They come to the rescue, and our Republic takes her place amongst the nations of the world as a proud monument to liberty and freedom. e The young nation with a population o- less than three millions of peoplt, with out the emblems of nationality, wrested from despotism the reluctant recogni tion of freemen's rights, and the olive branch of peace. And in her majestic tread and onward march, inscribed upon her banner, liberty and free government, and the full grown and intolerable abuses of centuries toppled down at her cum in". Her statesmen and her warriors heaved the ground from under the feet of bigoted faith and slavish obedience and the roar and dashing of opinions losenedfrom their accustom 2d hold, might be heard like the noise of an angry sea. Thej slw in this western country, the wilderness, spoken of by the Evangelist in his vision the asylum of persecuted multitudes, to whom the wings of the great eagle had been given, which 'sits Jmhorced upon our national ensign, the place prepared by God, where generations yet unborn should rest from Jribulation. With thoughts that breathe and words that burn, our fathers gave utterance to great political truth? which must survive thrones kingdoms and principalities, and live when oblivion shall sit enthroned, upon the tombs, of kings princes and po tentates, and endure while time shall last. We have assembled here to pay a iust and merited tribute of respect, to statesmen and warriors, whose names have come down to us with unblemished honor, men whom fame has eternised in her long and lasting scroll, and who by their words and acts were benefactors of their country, men at whose names the heart of the patriot, shall leap with joy, and whose memory and deeds, shall live while eternity itself shall last. Perhaps the genius of America, never shone out fuller or brighter or looked more like it self than at the period of the American revolution. Our fathers saw with the clearness of phrophetic vision, that the Union of the States, wa s the guardian of our best rights, the source of our highest civil and political duties and the only sure means of national greatness. A brief view of the rise and progress of that Union and the establishment of our pres ent constitution and present form of gov ernment, as the pallad ium of all our hopes as a free people and nation, is peculiarly fitting and appropriate upon this occasion and will show the genius and value of our government, and serve to impress our minds with the mighty responsibility, which rests upon us to hand down that Union to our posterity unimpaired by cowardly inaction, and unbroken by the villainies of designing demagogues and blood stained traitors. That the Union of this country, was essential to its political existence and safety, its prosperity and greatness was known aud avow ed long prior to the per iod of the revolution. Animated by a high and holy purpose, which inspires the heart and "fires the soul, arid reveals the coming future with the clearness of inspiration, the people of Masachusetts, Plymouth Conneticutt -and New Haven, as early as 1642, entered into a league offensive and defensive, which they de clared should be firm and perpetual, and be distinguished by the name of 'the Uni ted Colonies of New England. Here we hate the tlrst germ, or first effort for a more extended Union. It contained provident and jealous provisions well cal culated to give stability to the whole. In this transaction and under the author ity of this early union, the New England Colonies acted id fact as an independent State, and this in fact was the first step towards our Independence, and this lea gue or union was not dissolved until the year 16S6, when the charters of the New Edgland Colonies was in effect vacated byL commission from King James the II. The people after the dissolution of this earliest league, continued to afford other and instructive precedents of asso ciations, firmly blrevSng their prosperity and national greatness, depended upon ti continued and perpetual union of Col onies. We have an instance of one of these at Albany in 1722, bat a much more important assembly was held at the same place in 1752. It consisted of commissioners from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Mary land and was called to take into consid eration, the means of defending the col onies in case of war with France, which was then impending, and with the know ledge and acquiescence of the British government. This convention unani mously resolved that the union of- the colonies was absolutely necessary for meir preservation. They rejected all propositions tor the division of the colonies into seperate confederacies, and proposed a plan of government consisting Df delegates from all the colonies, and the council was to have power to equip vessels of force as well upon the ocean as upon the lakes and rivers, to lay and levy general du ties, imports and taxes for necessary pur poses: At this early period, the great value of a federate -union, had settled deep into the hearts and minds of men. The union of the colonics, was the solici tude and study of the Patriots and Peo pie asevidenced by the action of the so cial asiemblies cf each colonv. tonUhed natiuns of the earth, 1 The assertion of. "the British' Parlia ment of an- unqualified right of-binding the colonies.in alf cases whatsoever and and the' right 'hf.Jziing them wi'.h oat,' their - consent, .'and the denial c? rnlnmVs of the - riVht of taxa tion without representation, and the at tempt of the Kin to enforce it by the power of the sword were the immediate causes of the American Revolution. Bat the principles of ; free government and unbending integrity, conscientious recti tude which supported 'our : Revolutionary Fathers in ' every- hour of danger and trial were implanted in the hearts of the people at Plymouth Rock, and in every coloniel settlement long , prior to the commencement of actual hostilities-. And soon after the first unfriendly lcgisla;ion on the part of the mother country by lay ing stamp duty, a congress of delegates from nine colonies was assembled at New York in October 1765, upon the recom mendation of Massachusetts, and they digested a bill of rights in which trie sole power of taxation was declared to reside in their own colonial legislatures. This was but preparatory to the more extended and general association of the colonies which took place in September 1774; and laid the foundation of , our in dependence and permanent tlnion and future glory. This Continental Congress, whose names and proceedings will live in the gratitude of 'distant posterity, as serted by a number of declaratory reso' lutions what they deerned to be the rights of English Freemen,and pointed 'out to the people the system of violence which wa3 preparing against those rights, and bound the colonies by the ties of honor and country, to xenounce commerce with Great Britain." Their resolutions re ceived prompt and ready obedience. The Union of the colonies being thus auspiciously formed, continued ly.a suc cession of delegates in Congress, and through every period of the war and through every revolution of our govern ment. This union has been revered and cherished as the guardian of our peace the source of all our national blessings and the only solid foundation ot national independence. ' In May 1775, Congress again assem bled at Philadelphia, and was clothed with ample discretionary power and in general terms they were to take care of the liberties of. the? People soon after this meeting Georgia acceded to and completed tns Confederacy of thirteen colonies Hostilities had already com menced in Massachusetts. The first run had been fired, the first blood had been shed, the first roar of musketry had been heard in the streets - of Concord, which was destined to establish the rights of man and free government. The Continental Congress, charged with the protection of the rights of .the people and intrusted with the power and sustained with the zeal and confidence of the colonies prepared for resistance, and cn the 4th day of July 1776, published to the world the declaration of Indepen dence. The men of that celebrated Congress must ever live in the heart of every true American, venerated, admired and es teemed for talent, intregity, patriotism and self sacrificing, devotion to country. These men understood the importance and value of the Union then. Let as net forget it now. Hancock on the 5th of March 1774, speaking to a crowded audience in Boston said, ."permit ma to suggest a general (assembly) Congress of Deputies from the several Houses of Assembly on the continent as the most effectual method of establishing a union for the security of our rights and liber ties. . . ' . Our fathers by their blood and b'y their treasure, by perils and hardships established and niade good the declara tion of Independence and the Union they had so 'carefully formed and sacredly guarded, after a seven ycrs blobdy and terrible war. To transmit to ts the blessings of free government, they .'went forth to battle against the Veteran troops of tyrant power, and in many a hard fought field, where the grim messenger walked abroad with eyes deep set, im movable and fixed, sending forth the horrid howl of slaughter, the bubbling groan of death, and the low toned fitful notes of pain. The tree of Jiberty whose fruits o-day we enjoy was watered with their blood. ' , And in 17S9, in order to make the Union-of the States perpetual and to se cure the blessings of that union to , their posterity and protect the liberties of the people they adopted our present Federal Constitution. .. The war ended, the republic entered upon a career of prosperity never before equaled in the history of the world. WTherever her banner waved o'er land or o'er sea, it was pointed to as the star of liberty and. the emblem of hope, the forests were subdued, the: habitations of the barbarian and savage gave way to cultivation and ' learning. Altars of Christianity with spi"3 pointing o heav en, blazing with texts from the book of God, made vocal by the voice of thou sand of christian worshipers, sprang int existence, as if - by migic, where before naught was to be heard, save the (sound) howl of the forest beast, or the still more j dismal echoes of the savage war whoop," The arts and sciences under the patron-! age and protection of the Unioo and the ' flag of our country, spread their refin-j T ing and elevating influence across and over onr continent, and the lightening of heaven vfere -made'rthe subservient and willing messengers of thought. Our population had incread from three mil!iorHto"thiriy millions of people, "and every where' might be heard, the din of cheerful industry and the song of con tentment and peace, the. winds and waves were made our servants of commerce and our ships traversed every ocean, and the elements fire and water, were our spirit winged messengers of peae and of war Ihe tonnage oi our commerce on our great lakes and: mighty, rivers, exceeded by far the total tonage of any nation on the globe. The people of the old world looked on with astonisment and wonder, Kinffs and Despots; sat tremblinar in their places, and the iron heal of tyrany, j shrank from the presence of our conquir ing banner and struggling humanity breathed freer and easier througout the world. The muse of history as she. writes the record cf the past, dipping her pen in the bright sun light-of heaven, shall in scribe high upon "the temple of fame, the names cf the thirteen colonies, but high er, brighter, greater than these the name of the American Repubjic. And still higher, and .brighter: still the names of the Patriots and Warriors of the revolu tion, and over and above all she shall write in the bright golden rays of living light, plucked from thef'throne of Deity itself the immortal name of Washington What a mighty and terrible response bility rests upoD us to transmit these in stitutions, our Union and Constition un broken and unimpaired to our posterity. Young men and men of to-day politi cal demagogues and office seeking trick sters, and blood stained traito! s, whose highest aspirations never'rose above self sordid gain, are now in arms against the Union and the Constitution. They have already torn down and trampled upon the flag of your country and the exul tant shouts of traitors are heard, in the land Let us do our duty and dp it nobly and well.- 'Here under the 1 broad arch way of heaven, let us on bended knees, with our ? hands and swords pointing to heaven and! circling about our heads, as emblematical of the never ending integ rity of our hearts, swear . by. the graves of our" mothers,' by the sacred memory of our revolutionary fathers, by the glories ol the past, Iby our sacred honor and by our lite, by tne uoa ot pur ratners and the God we worship," that our glorious , union .ana, uonstituuon, must and shall be preserved. To you mothers of to-day., the nation must look for- future salvation, the pure est fire ever kindled upon the hearts altar is the undying flame of a mother's love. The brightest lamp that ever beamed up on our life path was the pure lamp of af fection, lighted in the spirits inner tem ple,' and beaming forth from the soul's windows as the mother gazed for the first time upon her new born child, - The most, lasting Timpressions, those which' will go' with us, when we shall tread the dark valley, even d6vn to the chambers of death, are the tracings of a mothers early teachings, graven in delibly upon th tablet of the mind. Mothers of to-day, it is to you we look to so . temper your words, your pre cepts and your example that the echoes which shall come down in after years to the rising generation, shall make patri otic men and patriotic women, hold up to your offspring the beauties of . vitue, and point out the hideous deformities of vice: Teach your sons and your daughters their duty to their Creator and preservor, the great Author of - their being, their responsibility, and the force of their ex ample, in all .the relations of life, and so entwine the love of country, of freedom and. of right, about their heart-strings, thaf in all our land, North, ' "South',- East and West, the burning, shameful brand of traitor, shall be forever wiped away. Let the .noble precepts of, the mothers of this. generation shine- iferth in coming years, in the actions of sons and daugh ters, who are : to control the future des tiny and guard the interests of our Coun try and the tlnion. May there come from the. cool northern. 'clirne, where the stately pine can flourish best and the bracing air makes man strong and hardy as his own snow-clad , hills. I And from the sun kissed Southern land rich with the perfume of fruit and flower, from the dew dappled morning hills, and the beau teous' sunset plains, may there come one glad and general shout from the land and Trofn' the sea, from nature' "animate and inanimate; and from thegfeat heart of the nation from all her childred may it pour forth in thunder tones, a shout that shill proclaim throughout the broad archway of heaven and to the ' nations of the world, the American Republic is saved from ruin, a free country, rescued from a blood-stained curse the curse of slavery, that our country is rnd- shall ever be the land of the free and the home of the brave. And to the mothers of this, rime do we JoOk fof the eonsumanon of this hope. Like the Spartain Mothers of old. do jour work nob!y and. dcr it w-U. and your memories shall live, revered and cherished, while hummi y ?boll hate fraud, loathe rapme,and abhor.bh.nd. W hr-n 'we see the forest subdued, ihe wilderness converted into u garden civi lization .and Christianity , marchin? on ward with unparalled 'stnd,1 across and over our entire continent, when we see the wilderness pierced through with bars cf iron, traverstd (with) by the iron horse, "with his lungs of fire, and nostrils of smoke, bearing on with lightening speid heavy carriages and' innumerable passengers, the flag of our commerce visiting every sea and island, throughout the world, when we behold the down trod den and oppressed of the old world, looking to ns as the-gtrardians and cusj todians of the ark and covenant of liber ty and free government when we con template all this and remember thut it is the fruits of that Constitution and Un nioh,1 whicrrare and have been the only source of our national prosperity and greatness. Meloncholy indeed is the thought that all these accumulated bene fits, so fruitful of praise, and still more fruitful of lasting blessings to mankind and which could never form a tear in any eye, or cause mourning in the land, are attempted to be destroyed,' swept away by the hand of parricidal traitors who to-aay stand m armea rebellion to our government and bid difiance to the laws and that constitution to which they owe so much. Shrowding the nation in dark ness, making: bloodshed tinze the earth rin cne. A horrid. -and - comprehensive word civil War.1 C l x - " v -And whilst the nation is thus agitated by internal strifes and convulsed to its very centre by commotions and desper ate conflicts, we are naturally led to in quire can our ship of state stand the shock, and ride triumphantly the : angry waves that rage around her? WThen we look to the ruins . of the past, when we muse over the ashes of ancient republics now no more, and remember the - r jr luster that once' crowned them, and even now sheds a halo of glory around their memory, when we reflect that all these are . wrapt in the .'gloom of .'.an endless night, then the question comes, trembling up, shall this glorious Government too, be numbered amongst those that have been? -- . - - ' i-. The answer" comes booming -from a thousand tongues, No! our Government is grounded in principles that shall remain firm while time endures, arid through all turmoil and strife, will pass in spile of traitors, unscathed and , yet stand as she once stood, calm.'sefene'and immovable, secure in he? wisdom, tearless in her strength, and majestic in the beauty of her principles. It may be true;, that while the envenomed shafts of malignant rebellion arei being hurled at her breast, she rnaV'!at times, and for a moment tremble under the shock of the fierce charge, but she will retain her position, undaunted amid the wild conflict, and ever in the great trial by battle, prove her cause just, by the overthrow of her foes, and will ride triumphant from the list, amid the acclamations of the blessed and free people. The weapons that have been wielded against her shall not pre vail, the arms of her foes shall be most ingloriously weakened and the hands raised to smite her, shall fall powerless. And why?. What potent spell shall pre serve her? What mighty arm shall sus tain her? What wall of defence shall compass her around about? The potent spell of her own virtue will sustain. The mightyerm of truth will save her. ;-And the strong wall of integrity will ; compass around about, and millions yet unborn will rise up and continue to Venerate the names of the great founders and defend ers of this bur glorious Republic, and our Territory shall not then as now be limited by the Arostook on the north and the Rio Grande on the south, but the cold frozen regions of the Greenland, and Esquimaux, on the one hand, Valdi vica, Patagouia and south Shetland's icy coast' on the ether shall scarce suffice to give our growing people room. Our right hand shall rest on Africa's unex plored and "maiden bosom, our left shall make thev Russian' tyrant tremble on his throne, and Europe too shall seek to know our will and regulate f rorn thence her conduct as'lhe lone nariner on 'the 'migh ty deep would watch Arcturus' steady light and guide from science his frail barque to some destined safe retreat.
