Orleans independent standard. [volume] (Irasburgh, Vt.) 1856-1871, 1861-07-12

cession was formed by the marshals at
about IL o'clock, and headed by the Iras-
burgh Brass Band, marched through the
village to the church where all listened to
an Grafton pronounced by Mr.. A. j. San
born, which was a neat, scholarly and an
appropriate production, and as such we
heard it spoken of by many.
Mr.. n. w. Bingham was then called to
the stand, who spoke for about half an
hour upon the subject that is now upper
most in every American heart, his re-
marks Astounding in well told anecdotes.
1t was a good speech, an excellent sharp
ener of the appetite, which by this hour
had begun to call for the nice food in
store for US at w. II. Towards, who had
prepared tables in an artificial grove adj
joining his house, where some five hun
bred hungry men and women sat down TO
an abundant supply of good vlctuals,
which disappeared as fast before their de-
termined attack as the confederate troops
do before our armies. We hope Mr..
Howard made money.
After dinner the following toasts were
read and received with the usual cheers
and salutes from the cannon and the band :
National PrinctplS.-The broad and
national principles of liberty and equality
for which our venerable ancestors made
such noble sacrifice, to obtain and be-
queath TO their posterity, is an inestma-
bic boon which should be upheld and
supported by every true patriot and lover
of liberty.
Our Fag,-The Star Spangled Ban
ner that faunts in aerial majesty, an APP
propriate emblem of American greatness.
Under it has our nationality been estab-
lished, and under it may it ever be sus-
tanned.
TIE Ladies.-The ladies Of our land.
The indispensable companion of man
a social friend in domestic bliss.
Patriots ofHe Rerolution.-The ven
cradle patriots of the Revolutionary
their memory ever be cherished with feel
ing5 Of the deepest respect and reyer-
ence by the American nation.
The Lad5es.-Tho Fair: We would
not forget them if we could we could
not forget them if we would.
Termoat.-May her sons be as bold as
her mountain cliffs and her daughters as
pure as her mountain air.
Nel0 HampShire.-May the pillars Of
freedom stand as firm on her soil as the
rocks Of her granite hills.
The Irasburgh Brass Band enlivened
the day with their music. They were at
tended by their leader, Mr. j. Rice, who
swelled with honest pride at the brilliant
success Of his pupils.
We should be glad to 60 more into q
detail of the doings at Albany, but the
message crowds US into very narrow lin
its. The exercises of the day closed
with a terrible fight between federal Yam
KEGS and seseshers," but like the piety
Of some of our neighbors, it was all &
sham"
IN BRowNMGToN.-The people o.
Bloomington and vicinity met at the
Church at the Center, at haf pas. ten
After prayer by the pastor and music by
the choir, the Declaration of Indepen-
dence was read by w. NJ. Tibbetts OIL
Barton Landing, after which addresses
were made 10 the Sabbath Schools by
Rev. Mr.. Bracket of Charleston, and
Rev. s. r. Hall of Bloomington. The
company were then escorted by band Of
martial music to beautiful grove, where
free table had been spread for the whole
company by the ladies in the vicinity
The tables were beautifully arranged and
heavily loaded, and reflected great credit
on the fair donors.
Several volunteer toasts were offered
and responses made, after which the COM
pany returned to the church where ad.
dresses were made by Rev, Mr. White
more of Charleston, and w. NJ. Tibbetts
of Barton Landing. The day being well
spent, the choir sung a farewell piece, and
aftor a prayer for the preservation of the
Union the company separated with the
kindest feelings, nothing having occurred
to mar the festivities of the occasion.
