The annual address was delivered in the
Representatives. Hail, at o'clock in the eve
ming, by Rev. J. +. Rankin, Of Charles,own,
Mass.,--subisct "the sources OF New Eng
land civilization" No mere abstract Of this
address will give any idea Of the eloquence
with which the sources Of New England civ
ihzAuon were made to appear ;-ffst, in New
England history; second, in New England
climate and New England soil and third in
New England institutions--the family, the
school, the church. aud the state. As lit
erary production, it will be a valuable addi-
ton to the archives Of the Society and
measures should be taken to have it published
for the benefit Of those who were deprived Of
the rich treat it afforded the large and unus-
ally attentive audience which listened to it
last evening.
The annual address was followed by me-
moir Of Gov. Galusha by Rev. Pliny H
White, and this by an eulogy upon the lite
and character Of the la,e Hon. solomon Foot,
by Hon. George F. Edmunds, both Of which
added greatly to the interest Of the annual
meeting OF the Society, and will help to. es-
tablish it on firm and enduring basis.
The thanks Of the Society were voted to the
several speakers, and Rev w. H. Lord was
invited to deliver his address on Vermont"
before the Society during the present session
of the Legislature.

The Westminster Rsviei0--certainly very
high authoIity-pronounce the speech of
Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg, the finest
that ever fell from human lips. In view of
this fact and that It is even more psrtinen
than ever, in the present political condition
Of the country, and being so brief as we'll as
so good, we republish it below entire:
"Four score and seven years ago our faith
ers brought forth upon this continent a new
nation, conccived IN liberty and dedicated to
tho proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in great civil war,
testing whether that nation, or any other ma
ton so conceived or dedicated, can long en-
dure. We are met on great battle field Of
that war. We are met to dedicate portion
OF it as the final resting-place OF those who
here gave their lives that that nation might
hse. Il u ANogsther titiing and proper that
we should do this. But in large sense we
cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this
ground. The brave men, living and dead,
who struggled here, have consecrated it far
above our power to aid or retract.
The world will little note nor long remem-
ber what we say here, but il can never forget
what they did here. 1t is for US, the living,
rather to be dedicated to tbs unfinished work
that they have thus far so nobIy carried on.
It is rather for US here to be dedicated to the
great task remaining before us--that from
these honored dead ws take increased dsvoiion
10 ne cause for i0hieh they here gaze the last
full MEASURE Of depotioa--that zoe here resolue
that the dead shall not haze died ia vaia---that
tie nation shall. under Cad. have ne,o birth
of ffreedoR. and that the government of the pso-
pie, by the people, aud for tho people, shall not
perish from he earth"
