Mr.. GEO. A. PELrz introduced the Declara-
u of Independence by remarking that he
| lad been taught, as carpenter, to see well 10
/ lie superstructwe, that the building might be
lr and permanent; and briefly but pertinent
represented the DEcLARATIoS as the tound'
cJa upon which we are attempting to buih
cur great Republic. We heard many remark
that hey had never heard that great document

present occasion.
The Oration Of Hon. WM. ID. KELLEY, OF

started out in life. And it was among the
ing millions who followed the plow OF
fought in the workshop, that Freedom always
