nations great founder and benefacor. Our party was
composed OF the citizens OF several different States but
no one OF us, | believe, enemies to noble Union.
What emotions OF rapture awakened in each breast
as we stepped upon the hallowed ground Sacred, in
deed did il seem far sacred than any dust
OF kings, pnnces or ecclesasc potentaes which my
feet have ever pressed
No bolts nor bars Of steel like those which in the
Old World obsucted our approach Even the grand old
mansion house thrown open for inspection; and
the surrounding gardens, groves, and delightful dels al

our visit

loaded with fruit-the wild. gushing melody OF woodland
songsers mingled sweety with the signing OF mournfu
cypress aud wlow-while many aged oak planted by
our heros hand, cast its gloomy shade like pail, upon
the solemn scene
Full thrilling were the memories that arose to my men,
tai view not only OF those deeds Of vaor which glow
upon the page of history, but recalled the many descrp
tons of revolutionary tolls, hardships and self sacrifice
portrayed to my youthful mind by my hoary sires, who
participated in the hard struggles for Independence and
sincerely loved the sublime principles OF George Wash
ington.
Truly naught save ngratude too base for Americans,
meihoughi could tempt us, while yet his grave is green
the Dissertation OF all he has bequeathed US and man

Such is the light in which that bitter question viewed
by the nations; for there is but venerates the

Long may the democratic of him who enioyed
this humble abode continue characteristic of the whole

place OF interest and beauty Having spent short time

PRECISION TO some Of those sentiments
which animate our bosoms upon the

slight and trivial character could ever
have induced me 10 accept the honorable
and responsible position you have this
day assigned me. But under strong
sense ofdu,y. as member Of your body,

we, in common with the great mass of
Southern patriots, now occupy, with re.
ference to The momcnlous subject pro.

which your kind parllalily has confer.

The custom Of celebrating the annual
return Of the formation Of any society,
whether Instituted for purposes useful
or pleasing, in their nature, is almost
co evaI with time. 1t finds its natural

proudcst attributes Of human character.
It's decisive tendency for good has re.

sanction Of Divine Authority and all

its salnnry effects. The birth Of any
association whether formed for moral

energy, to prosecute the objects for
which they were originally united and
assumed the shape Of a Body Polite,
