source OF the rarsst beauty. This grand
source, from which the PtntsAs drew Their

and the equality Of all men in kind, il not III &c

ration of Medieval society, and drew d most
vivid picture of the dreadful condition of things
in the Middle Ages. Society was then pande-
monium. The Reformation led cut Of all this,
He also developed the principles OF Conservatism
and of Reform, and declared that the triumph Of
either would destroy all tina. is best and dearest
in socistY, as at present constituted. Religious
Conservatism believes that God has abdicated
his throne of power, and that the Priest has taken
his plaoo. Creat grt;on is rotrogroding, the
learned Doctors are rcviving the euperstitions
of old and efie.e ages, (alluding 10 Puscyism)
and the victory OF Waterloo arrested en- ins,ru-
men, for good in the hands of the Almighty, and
enabled the rulers of Europe to carry back the
shadow on the dial, while the Clergy endeavor
10 rebuild what Luther overthrow. Even here
such spirit is at work. There IS 30 well de-
fined American character; too little regard is
paid 10 the Past, and doctrines which are unat-
lached are easily overtfrown. There is class
here which glories in Europe; there are sympa-
thetc Procstenis who tremble against attacks
on Catholicism. And sons Of New England
have even dared TO blaspheme against God and
derry to our Puritan ancestors The name OF
Christian Church. Nations do not grow by &C
cretion, but by development. We must keep
up cur old principles-a lapse will be fatal =
Like the flower of the Aichemlst which
he raises pale and wan from the ashes Of the
plant, so will our Freedom be, ii the nation
IS recreaot 10 itself. Therefore let US keep fast
TO that old true Conservatism, without which
neither State nor Church are worthy.
After the conc us;on of the address, vote of
thanks was given to Mr.. MARSH, and request
for The Grafton for publication.
AT the Dinner, after an eloquent Address from
the Orator of the Day, Judge CHARLES WARREN
made most capital speech containing mary
happy hits. He paid we-deserved compliments
to New England, New.Englsnd climate end
New England men. He kept the company in
mast happy mood throughout the whole speech,
and concluded with the following sentiment:
The WTsdOm Of ForetatersIt spreads without divd.
Ing ind operates unspent.
The Clergy being toasted, Rev. Mr.. BRACE
responded in short address.
Rev. Mr.. Bellows made pithy speech in
reply TO the toast, The Common Schools of
New. England" in which he spoke of the rapid
advance which had been made in the Common
School System of that portion OF the country,
and said that now it was no longer considered an
ct of wisdom to send children to Private Schools,
as the Public Schools we're now superior 10 them;
that now it was not considered that any one who
was unfit for any thing else, was good enough 10
teach ounces to read and write, but that the
teachers were now the most intelligent and gifted
minds of the country and took their station in the
estimation Of the people with the Clergy.
Tho "City of New York" brought up the
Mayor, who said that he was not New Eng
lander but a Dutchman; but as all the States
ware sisters, he claimed to be cousin. He
closed with the following sentiment:
