OF the South. Relying on the
righteousness of their cause, they
submitted their all to the god OF
battles. Never was there exhibit
ted such heroic courage, intelIl-
gcncc and sublime patriotism, as
displayed by our revolutionary
sircs, in that potent0us struggle.
We cannot pass over this part OF
our subject without paying a trib-
ute, howeverfecble, to the illus
trious father Of his country, who
was the guiding genius Of that
great drama. Never were there
such noble qualities blended in
any one man. He was equallcd,
if not cXcellcd, both in the art of
war and craftsmanship. Hamil-
ton, his bosom friend, was far his
superior in political sagacity ;. Ma
poIeon, the man of destiny, whose
soaring genius grasped at the do
minion of the world, as Il general,
was his superioE; but i'll virtue
and patriotism, all others fade be-
fore Washington as the twinkling
stars of morn before the great lu-
minary Of day. His name thrills
the the patriots heart i'll all
chimes, and nerves bis arm to
strike for freedoms cause. After
an arduous struggle of seven
years, our independence was cs-
tablished, and our nationality rec
ognized by the sovereigns Of the
earth. Our prosperity is unparal-
leled in the history of the world.
Our sails whiten every occan-our
flag visits every cline.
''Our march is on the mountain wave,
Our homo the rolling deep"
Our territory extends from ocean
to ocean. Thirty-two States now

as free sovereign and Independent
States. We are marching onward
to greatness and glory with the
strides Of a giant, and nothing but
the baacst Lcgeneracv will prevent
us from becoming the greatest ia
ton the sun ever shome on. But
the signs Of the times presage that
this beautiful and heaven-favored
country Of ours will soon crumble
! in ruins. Dark, lowering, and
! ominous clouds skirt our horizon,

our heads. The red fac Of trca-
