FeHo7y Citizens,

Is ysse5F-.ece t.;s sfi'iFersaT'y
OF c,l4.s essentially connected
with the happiness Of nations,
Their emancipation from despot-
ism, or their progress in civilfza-
ton, has been the .mmemorial
practice Of mankind. Nor can
any practice more clearly esta-
biish its claim to veneration and
observance, whether we con
glt the voice OF nature, the
Sprinciples Of immutabie Justice,
pr the records Of history. q
midst the insipid and heartless
monotony ofhuman affairs, events
occasionally occur, which kindlc
into enthusiasm the latent spark
OF generous scnsibility in every
bosom at sight Of which the
eye Of ignorance expands with
wonder, the riser regards with
momcntary indifference his boar
ded treasure, the votary ofambi-
ton aVerts his glance from the
" blood stained banner & the bic
kering blade" 6, even the nissan
throplst feels a transient glow of
benevolent emotion pervade his
reluctant soul. To- keep alive the
memory Of such events, the per
sons who achieved, the motives
that prompted and the benefits
produced by them, is dictated a.
like by duty & inclination. Yes !!
we are prompted by nature, gui-
ded by custom, and commanded
by justice, to hallow by anniyer-
sary festivals the aera of events
important to the happiness Of ma
tons, Or OF mankind, to testify
our gratitude for the services.
Our admiration for the talents,
our Venc.ation for the virtues Of
- benelactors Of society, not bv
senseless Glamour, bacchanalian
shouts & explosions of p,lnpow-
ger, but by the interchange ORA

on OF generous sympathy, enlI-
vened by the festive board, the
lowing bowl & joyous song. We
are this day assembled to com
memorate an event which nolen-
iightened friend to his country,
to freedom Or to mankind, can
recoIlect and contemplate with
out feeling his heart swell and his
imagination kindle with the gran
dest sensations. The elevation
Of Jefferson to the first magistra-
cy ofthe American people IS pro-
badly the purest and proudest tri-
umphevel' obtained by thetriends
OF freedom.
Whether we review the evils
actual Or imminent which this e
vent arrested and aYerted, survey
the permanent and extensive be-
nefits it has produced, or antici-
pate the blessings it seems des.in-
ed to dispense and perpetqate
through all succeeding time, we
shall be alike convinced Of It's
claim to grateful and national
commemoration. Under each OF
those lights propose to consider
this event, and although my OBJ
scrvations will be dictated by a
close and candid attcntipnto facts
as ! apprehend them, vet shall
express my ideas with the since
rity and independence which be

must revert our attention 10 cur
previous situation. THE esta-
blishment OF independence and
the organization of the federal go
vernment, realised in the new
world, q condition Of society 10
which no parallel existed in the
records OF history, nor any proto-
type inthe speculalions OF philo-
soply. That civilized society
should subsist in peace, prospe-
rity and safety, without heredita-
r. rulers, privileged ORDERS, ar
established church, a permanent
standing army and navy, or any
modification Of monopoly, poll

musthay been viewed by a mind
icttered by historical analogy and
accustomed to contemplate only
European forms ofrule, as an eX-
trayagant chimera. Yetsuch was
the condition ofsociety in the u
nitcd S,atcsof America. To the
United States Of America, the at
tention Of the Philosopher was d.
rected with anxious solicitude,
the philanthropist pointed with
eXultation and triumph, whilst
desPotism ayerted its eye with
CONSERVATION & dismay, and felt
with instructive terror the sub
lime sentiment of Mirabeau,
that if " kings would not reign
over deserts they mustrelax their
chains. How long this fair
fabric Of freedom and civilization
endure was question which all
were anxious to resolve? cts a
transient ebullition Unpopular en-
thusiasm" exclaimed the minions
Of monarchy. "'Tis one of the
splendid chimeras Of fanciful spe-
culation andphilosophical delusi-
on" cried the enemies Of political
innovation. CTS awanton devil
