address of the Hon. Horace Mann. A cor
respondent of the Atlas, writing from West PoiLt
under date OF June 10th, gives the following &C.
count of the speech OF Hon Horace Mann:
"Later in the evening, Hon. Horace Mann, OF
our State, and one OF the Board OF Examiners de-
lvered an address TO the young men 1t was Just
such discourse as auy one otus who know the
independence and the views OF he orator, would
have expected in such plsc land on such an &C.
casion. Yet it was such discourse as venture
to assert has never b iore been delivered at West
Point, since the military school was established
here For the most part, all is rose colored, in
discourses such occasions Glory 'honor,
renOwn,' and such like topics, are the UNMARRIED
themes OF the orators. Mr. Mann, we we'll know
is firm and consistent advocate of PEACE
Conseq uen;ly, peace and the Christian principles
OF good will to men, was the corner stone of this
discourse. Yet there was nothing in it any one
should or could take offence at. 1t was through
out, kim, courteous, - convincing too, from its
I'm, quiet truthiuness and it as well received
on the part OF the young men, and by the older
officers who were present. 1t was truly refresh
ing to have so much sound advice, such ortho-
dox views of war and peace, so we'll and so man
fully delivered here in the very school of war
1t was not inapposte, out of place, dscourteous,
nor was il so regarded by any of those to whom
it was addressed. Alter it had been delivered,
the orator applauded by three hearty cheers,
hope the discourse will be written out and pub.
ished.
