Mr.. BANcRoFT's ORATIoN.-This mastery pro-
duction, from mastery mind, is being published
from one extreme Of the country to the other. The
Ohio Statesman has the following notice:
"This noble production of the Historian Of
America which publish to-day will not fail to
command quick perusal, and the warmest admira-
ton of all our readers 1t was fitting that he who
had written well Of the early fathers of our coun
try, should have been selected TO pronounce that
eulogium which was to be the browning ceremonial
of those solemn obsequies given to the memory of
Andrew Jackson, at the capital of the nation; and
right well and nobly, indeed, has he now spoken of
the life and services of that great man, of whom,
more than twenty years before his death, it was
said by the illusrious Jefferson, that he had filled
the measure of his country'sglory.'
eff it had been Sin the course Of human events
for Jefferson to have survived General Jackson,
what words would he have found to declare the
greatness of his name, after the eight years of his
presidency, and the succeeding eight years of his
tirement; during all which time his fame was con-
tinually increasing, and his wisdom, it came from
his eloquent tongue, or his patriot pen, was ever
acquiring more and more power over the hearts Of
his countrymenl
"Mr. Bancroft, impelled by his own lofty
thoughts as they were excited by his recollection
of the great deeds with which Jackson filled his life
has found apt and eloquent words. We recon-
mend his Grafton to our readers as deserving to be
read, not alone, but twice; for while it teaches
us-if that were possibe-still more to admire and
venerate the departed hero patriot and Christian it
also teaches us to cherish still warmer feelings of
admiration and love for the glorious institutions OF
this broad free land in which we dwell"

From the New York Morning News
THE aFOURTHo AT PROVIDENCE.

The national anniversary was celebrated at Provi-
dence with fine overlooking Of the popular heart,
at once in honor Of the day, and Of the noble repre-
sentative of its principles the honor of possessing
whom, alone, compensaes to the State the disgrace
Of her persecution Of him. The Gazette" says
that
"Providence never before saw such a glad out
pouring. The people were here from all parts OF
the State--THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE. At an early
hour in the morning, they. began to pour into the
city, and they continued to crowd every avenue on
approaching it, till the sun had reached the meridian
Market square, and all the neighboring streets, were
filed to excess so much so, that when the process
sion commenced forming to march to the ground Sc
lected for the exercises in honor of beration the
marshals could hardly perform their duties"
After the reading Of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, the meeting addressed by several enthu-
siastic speakers. A speech had been expected from
Gov. Dorr, but the state Of his health precuded the
possibility Off The "Gazette" says:
"When Mr. Sayles had concluded, the call went
forth for Gov. Dorr; and, for few moments, every
voice seemed to echo it. Mr.. Dorr, though very
feeble in health, arose and came forward to the
speakers stand and then such q shout as went up
from the assembled multitude, il was never our for
tune to witness before. The heavens themselves
and the very earth we stood upon, seemed 10 ring
with the aeclamations Of overlooking hearts Many
had hoped that, on this occasion, this champon OF
the peoples rights would be able to address the
friends who had Aocked greet him, at some length
but the want Of physical strength rendered this M.
terly impossible. When the shouts Of the people
had subsidized, he made very few remarks, and, in
conclusion, asked leave to offer the following senti-
ment, instead ola speech:
1.-THE venerable remnant of our revolutionary pa
triots, who have honored this meeting with their at
tendance; May the principles for which they con.
tended at every sacrifice, be perpetuated and may
thew never have reason to be ashamed of the State
which they assisted to redeem"

RAPIpITY OF TELEGRAPHIc COMMUNE ATIoNs.--By
an experiment which has been tried, it was proven
that Morse's electromagnetic telegraph will make
characters faster than printer can set type. A
cred that many Of the characters stood for whole
words, an extraordinarily rapid mode of conveying
intelligence. The 273 characters were equal to 400
types, including spaces-a made in FIVE minutes;
about as fast again printer could ordinarily set
could be derived from telegraph which would print
the letters instead Of making characters even were
such telegraph practicable. Baltimore Republican,

SAp.-Silas Basset and Thomas McCarty, young
men, while engaged in firing minute-guns at Provi-

mature explosion of the sixth charge. Basset had
his right hand and the lower part Of the arm
bownaway, and two fingers on his left hand torn of,
90 that they hung by the skin, while his face was
considerably bruised. McCarty had one arm blown
on, and was very seriously injured in other respects,
SO much so, that he died Of his wounds in great
agony at six o'clock, p. m. Basset's arm was am
putated, and his wounds in other respects attended
TO, and by the last account he was doing well.

deliver the address l trust he may find il conve-
nient 20 do so as besides his great popularity here
as speaker, and his well-known grace and elo-
quence, his early and constant friendship for Gen.
eral Jackson renders his selection to perform this
holy Office peculiarly appropriate.
Mirabeau--the eloquent Count Mirabeau-said Of
Frederic the Great sFrederic is of himself too great
for me ever TO be tempted to write his panegyrlc."
Who them aspire to be the panegyrst of one inn
measurably greater than Frederic Panegyric inn
plies exaggeraton. Il has been said that, truly to
measure mans character the measurer must be
greater than the measured. If So and panegyric i'm
ply exaggeraton, no need apprehend that pane
gyrist of General Jackson will anywhere mount the
stage.
It lisa subject of graduation, that such justly dis.
tinguished men as Dallas, Bancroft Stevenson, and
Butler have irradiated with the splendof of their
genius the grand topic, and adorned it with the
illusions of hearts glowing with love for THE GREAT
BELOVED OF THE PEOPLE. That their orations~ may
be collected, and published in cheap, substantial
form, and dedicated to that people whom he loved
so devotedly-that copy may be in the hands OF
every one, however poor, old and young, is de-
vouty to be wished. Such volume would be a
perpetual fountain, to which the men of this coun-
try may forever resort TO regale themselves, and IN
which the youth may find models of true eioquenee;
but, what is of vastly more importance, 1t would be
source from which they may imbibe the most
noble lessons of patriotism. General jack

generous and eloquent language, in a letter now be-
fore me- to his friend) was, "that they may grow
up in the fondness of their parents hopes and, with
the duties of sons, feel and understand those which
are due to their country; and with regard to those
acts of my life Che continues.) to which you have
adverted in terms of such favor, should they ever
be brought to their scrutiny let them be viewed as
admonitory lessons, by which to be prepared for
much greater and more noble sacrifices in the cause
of country Do, pray you, promote the forth
coming of the work. It would, more than any
other, enkindle, keep alive and unquenchable, the
love Of country; and thus, by infusing his spirit
into his posterity, best honor his memory; though
should fail to effect that which is impossible-the
accomplishment of the ssJEunderrating and modest

To the Editor Of the Union:
MY DEAR SIR. As our newspapers will not be
published till the 10Th inst, beg leave TO hand you
the within proceedings. would be sorry were it for
moment supposed that Washington county, Penn
sylvania, which gave the illustrous man, whom the
nation now mourns, majority of TOO thousand ttco
hundred and upcards, were tardy in the expression
oftheir gratitude and in offering tribute to the mem
ory of him, the strongest throbs Of whose heart,
whether in the battlefield or the pinnacle of po-
litical power or in the vale Of privacy-in tender
youth, in vigorous manhood, or in the decline of
years-in sickness in health, or the margin Of the
grave-were ever for his God, his country, and his
friends.
II is gratifying to be able to assure you that, IN
the heart of county of high political tone, where
the scale of political ascendency has been for some
years constantly vibrating-a county which, IN the
contest of 1884, was Of the great battle-heds Of
nsylvania-the respect with which those pro-
ceedings were received by the wings ian equal num-
Der Of whom, believe, and, among them, their great
leaders, were presently bears honorable testimony
that they are animated with true national feeling;
without which, no people can be long prosperous
and free; and without which, our blessed Union
pecally cannot be secure II is needless to say that
anything, however weak or however strongly ex-
pressed in favor of General Jackson, meets, has
ever met and will ever meet with moro than full
response from every Washington county democrat
The Hon. William wilkins will be invited TO
