Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1860-08-24

Mr.. Sampson, (colOred) made an able and
convincing comparison between the order o.
the intellectual and moral powers. His de-
livery was most excellent and his arguments
well drawn and enforced with enthusiasm
Let the intellect, he said, be associated with
moral excellence, and thus shall the votaries
of one be the votaries of the other and then
will individuals and nations become one
great individuality of moral design.
Mr.. Smith gave an interesting review ol
the political parties of our country, and held
that public principles must be the foundation
of any successful party.
Mr.. Tozer described the accession Of Will
lam and Mary to the throne of England, as
the contamination of the last English Re
vOlution, and spoke more particularly Of the
nature of that revolution.
The diplomas were then presented by Prof
Morgan to the graduating class.
He noticed in the class that they pro-
posed being workmen in the world, and he
trusted and supposed that they meant what
they said, and so intended tolive. But they
must trust not in themselves, but in the sa-
vior for strength. If they did this, the trus-
tees, the faculty and all their friends would
see them 60 forth with assured hope that
all these resolutions would be fulfilled. Then
their diplomas will show that they have in
the stores of knowledge that they had laid
up, material for future usefulness. With the
diplomas he then gave them the blessing ol
al their instructors and friends.
The second degree was then conferred up
on the following persons:
Charles G. Bisbee, Eratus NJ. Cravarth
Robert Hovenden, Martin R. Holbr ooll, John
c. sampeon, Samuel Murray, Thomas Rob
inson, W. W. Woodwork, Manuel brennan
LeOnad F, Parker, and Miss Martha Raw
son COngdon.
The beneGGction was then pronounced and

BENEDICTIoN
Mr.. Bisbee's subject suggested the mature
of his discourse-the Christian friend, hi
enjoyments and his struggle for the right.
Mr.. Cravath gave good discourse, show
ing the connection instead of the contradie
tiOn between science and revealed religion
His argument was a strong one.
Mr.. HOvenden reviewed the brief history O
the CrOss-the symbol of the Christian reli
gion from the carly ages when it was an in
strument torture to the present time. Thi
discourse was an interesting one as it CAV
a hasty history of Christianity. He close
with an exhortation to live nearer to tn
eEoss, the first and the greatest lesson q
Christianity.
The love Of Christ, the motive power @
the pulpit in melting the heart of man t
true OBJ edience and repentance, was show
by Mr.. Juehau in earnest words. The dis
course vas an excellent one.
Mr.. Thompson's (colored) discourse upo
the name Of Jesus was well conceived an
well delivered. He compared this nam
with those of warriors, statesmen, &c
While they have passed away and becom
forgotten, this one has continued to increase
and the nations know it not less, but more.
The enthusiasm of the ministry-deer
mighty and absorbing, by Mr.. Waters, wa
a good address, the speaker having goOdI
share of the enthusiasm he inculcated.
Gov. Dennison was introduced and greete
with applause. He thought it would hav
been more appropriate to close the examina
ton with the beautiful music Just sung. 7
those who have to-day closed their course
study, he said that he sincerely congratula
ted them upon the exercises. He said to a
that they were worthy of the principles in
culcated, and he had little doubt but in afte
life the speakers would fulfil their preser
promise. But he said to them that Will
these diplomas were every way honorable
them, they must not rely upon ths, m for SUI
cess. As letters of introduction to so, 'iety
large, diplomas are useful, but when Il
holder rests upon them for success, they wi,
fail. They should prove themselves worth,
Of this institution. They should never for
get that man is to be respected as man
that he is no better or worse for the eircum
stances of his birth, and he is valuable onl,
for what he is and what he makes himself
They would encounter serious trials. but
they will go on and tread in the paths thel
have started in, they will prepare for them
selves a serene old age, and in their extrem,
old age they will be found tottering on to ,
glorious Immortality.
To the Alumni he said that they had no
discharged their duty simply by passing
through with their course of study, but hac
a duty regarding these younger members
If they proved faithful in the discharge o
these younger ones, they would fulfil the or
der of their being. They went out in tn,
high capacity of teachers to the people, anG
either from the pulpit, the forum, the teach
er's desk, or in common life, they will b,
held responsible by that Supreme Being VIII,
judges every man just in accordance as b,
discharges his duty to his fellow men and t,
God.
He spoke then of the interest taken by tn
people in the College, and significantly re
ferred to the community as one of the mos
lao abiding in the State (Applause.j A
