S. Receiving ship in the harbor, commenced
firing minute guns, which they continued until
it reached Mount Vernon Place. The bells of
the several Churches were also tolled. These
soemnties, added to the measured strains of
music from several bands-the long and steady
step of the procession-and the various nsig-
MIA of mourning which met the eye on every
hand, hanging in graceful festoons from stores
and dwellings-gave TO the whole pageant an
aspect of unusual solemnity.
The procession ncared the base Of the Mon
ument about o'clock, but it was some minutes
past O'Clock before they were properly ar
ranged around the stand
The exercises upon the stand commenced
with solemn and appropriate tune from the
Band which had been selected by the Chief
Marshal for the occasion; after which, the Rev.
DR.. Wyatt offered up to the Throne of Grace
the following impressive and beautiful prayer:
Almighty and Everlasting God, of whose
only gift it cometh that Thy faithful people do
unto Thee true and laudable service, we give
| Thee humble thanks that we have access to thy
mercy-seat through the blood of Thy beloved
Son; and though the heaven of heaven cannot
contain Thee, that thou hast promised thy es-
pecal presence, not only in temples made with
hauds, bnt wherever two or three are gathered
together in Thy name. Suffer US not to ap-
proach Thee with unhallowed lips or indevout
hearts. Let Thy spirit be now with US who
are assembled to acknowledge the admonition

Thy servant, twice exalted as Chief Magis-
trate of the land to great power and honor, but
now returned to the dust again, and summon
ed to render account of his stewardship. In
spire us with due seriousness and devotion; 6ll
us with godly sorrow for sin; be with us IN
prayer to quicken our holy desires, and in
praise to heightea our gratitude and love.
Most holy God, it is of Thy mercies alone
we ale not consumed, for we confess with shame
and sorrow, that our sins, as individuals and as
a nation, have cried to Heaven against us, and
justly call for angry judgments upon our heads.
The sins of violence and injustice, of broken
contracts, of violated Sabbaths, of reviling ru-
lers and rambling upon the laws ofinordinate
pursuit Of riches, and reckless squandering
them upon pride, and luxury, and lust; the sins
of contempt of Thy Gospel and ordinances, and
of neglecting to sustain them at home, or send
them abroad to the borders Of the land, and to
them that yet sit in the shadow of death; the
sin of living without God in the world while
we profess to know him; and the sin of the fool
who saith, there is no God; all these have
justly provoked Thine indignation against U.S.
Remember them not, o Lord, neither take thou
vengeance of our iniquities; but spare us good
Lord, spare Thy people whom Thou hast re-
deemed with Thy most precious blood, and be
not angry with us forever Create and make
in US new and contrite hearts, that we worthily
lamenting our sins, may obtain of Thee perfect
remission and forgiveness. And because through
the weakness of our mortal nature, we are sore
let and hndered in running the race that is set
before us, grant us the help of Thy grace, that
in keeping Thy commandments we may please
Thee both in will and deed
By Thee, oh Lord, all things consist, and
Thou upholdest all things by the word of Thy
power; we bless Thee that Thou hast hitherto
forborne to cut us off in the midst of our folly
and, permitting us still to enjoy the means of
grace, dosI vouchsate again TO call us to repen-
tence. Grant that Thy calls may not be in
vain, nor our lives continued to increase our
guilt. May we remember that as days and wears
pass over us, we approach nearer to judgment;
and make us always careful so to live, that we
may never be afraid or unfit to die. That Thou,
oh God, hast also been exceedingly gracious to
this our land, bestowing upon us many precious
privileges, delivering us from our enemies, and
granting to US singular prosperity, we render
Thee our humble thanks and praise.
Thy bountful provdences towards US, indi-
vidually and collectively, have been beyond all
our deserts. Thy chastsements have always
been less than our sins deserve. Many times
hast Thou overruled evil for good, and brought
light out of darkness, and given hope in de-
spondency, and set our feet upon rock and
ordered our goings Continue to US, Oh Lord,
this Thy favor and protection. Let truth and
justice, brotherly kindness and charity, dill
gence and sobrety so flourish among US, that
they may be the stability Of our times, and
may make this nation praise in the whole
