Mouxher,s Apostrophe TO tho Sword.
The numerous illusions that have re-
Gently been made to the lamentad Mea-
cher's celebrated "Apostrophe to tho
Sword delivered at Cancellation Hall,
Dublin, on the occasion Of the debate on
the "Peace Resolutions" introduced
BY o'Connel-has caused o very general
desire to read that magnificent piece OF
oratory. "In lyrical grandeur and use
full suggestiveness, it far surpasses p
"Sword Song" which gives Keenei's
name honorable distinction. Here II IS:
.tThe soldier is proof against an ar
gument-but he is not proof against a
bullet. The man that will listen to
reason-let him be reasoned with. But
it is the weaponed arm of the patriot
that can alone prevail against battalion
ed %despotism.
Then, my Lord, 1 do not condemn the
use of arms rs immoral, nor do l con.
ceivc it profane to say that the King OF
Heayen-the Lord of Hosts the God OF
Battles !-bestows his benediction upon
those who unsheath the sword in the
hour of q nations peril.
From that evening on which, in the
valley of Bethulia, he nerved tho arm
of the Jewish girl to smite the drunken
tyrant in his tent, down to this our day,
in which he has blessed the insurgent
chiyalry of the Belgian priest, His Al
mighty hand hath ever been stretched
forth from his throne Of Light to conse-
crate the flag of frecdom-to bless the
patriots sword Be it in defense, or be
il in tho assertion of o peoples liberty.
| hail the sword as q sacred weapon |;
and if, my lord, it has sometimes taken
the shape of the serpent, and Redeemed
the shroud of the oppressor with too
deep q dye, like the Amounted rod OF
the High Priest, it has at other times,
and as often, blossomed into celestial
flowers to deck the freemen's brow.
Abhor the sword-stigmatize the
sword | No, my lord, for in the passes
in the Tyrol it cut to pieces the ban
ncr of the Bavarian, and, through
those dragged passes, struck q path to
fame for the peasant insurrectionist of
Innspruck.
Abhor tho sword-stigmatize the
sword No, my lord, for at its blow a
giant nation started from the waters of
the Atlantic and by its redeeming mag
ic, and in the quiyeriug of its crimson
light tho crippled colony sprang into
the attitude Of q proud Republic-pros-
porous, limitless and i%nvincible
Abhor the sword-stigmatize the
sword | No, my lord, for 1t swept the
Dutch marauders out of the fine old
towns of Bslgium-scourged them back
to their own phlegmatic swamps-and
knocked their flag and scepter, their
laws and ~bayonets into tho sluggish
waters of Scheldt."

~ Excr,,pyr DIscouRsE.-F


An EXCELLENT DIscoURsE.-From no
lack of interest, but owing to business
keeping our attention, mention was not
made in the Appeal yesterday of the
Thanksgiving sermon by the Rev. A. F..
White. 1t was an effort that for excel
lence deserves more than this brief no.
tice. The speaker alluded to u indi-
vidual obligations for health. As a
community, we had been blessed with a
year of prosperity. Our village had
Increased in population; substantial
structures, such as the mint building
and two churches had been erected
there were more youths in u public
and private schools morals had i'm
proved the Temperance organization
had two hundred active members and
all moral and religious societies had
grown in strength and influence. The
old hulks of humanity, liquor soaked
and rotted with every species OF vice,
had drifted away on currents OF excite
ment, or sank into the grave and were
forgotten. As with our little commun.
ity, so with the State, the material
development and moral improvement
had been general. The shipment Of
bullion in 1866 was about sixteen mil
lions in 1867 it bid fair to be twenty
millions i; and the increase hereafter
would probably be millions yearly.
More wheat, oats and barley were raised
this year than ever before and we
were manufacturing flour equal to any
in California. Vegetables and small
fruits were being successfully raised
here, and in time he thought in this
respect this State would equal any
other. As o nation, the great ground
swell, after the battle, was rolling
terribly and it was intimated none but
inidels believed it would bring wreck
and ruin. God is ut the helm, though
the President holds the wheel, and Con-
gress spreads the sails, and His currents
waft them along. Though political
parties may change, the Ship of State
is ploughing the great Gulf Stream of
Gods providence. He alluded to the
oil region, $50 by 800 miles in extent F.;
the silver belt, 1900 miles in width and
the length of the continent; the great
wheat growing region, extending from
the Gulf of st. Lawrence to the Wes-
tern shore of Lake Superior, thence
Northwest; from Southern Texas to
the Northern limit, it reaches n third
of the whole distance from the Equator
to the North Pole. The ripening grain
he represented as harvest waves rolling
from South to North twelve or fifteen
miles per day, commencing the last of
May and reaching the Northern limit
about the first of September. There
was wheat enough for home con-
sumption and millions of bushels for
shipment to the Old World. In regard
to the Pacific railway, the cars are
running 500 miles west of the Missis-
sippi river, and the greatest barrier, the
Sierras, is already passed. From MEM
DRY, our attempted outline of the dis
course is deficient and probably in o
measure, incorrect, but if we do not
greatly err in judgment the discourse
contains material sufficient for a lecture
Of great interest, which will bear repe-
tition.-Cdrson appeal.

THROUGH TO THE SuMNIr.-The track
on the line of the Central Pacific Rail-
road was laid to the summit last even
ing, and the rails through the tunnel
will be in place by an early hour this
morning. Thus has been completed the
most difficult portion of the company's
labors. As compared to what have
been encountered, the rest of the route
to Salt Lake has no obstacles worth
mentioning. The day the first locomo-
tive passes through the tunnel will be a
bright era not only in the history Of
California, but in that Of the United
States.-Sac. Union of SATURDAY..

TAKING UP EXTENSIONS.

This familiar term, so well understood
and appreciated by oil old miners, ana
especially by locators Of quartz leases
and claims in this State, is nevertheless
not by n means original here. Ever
since the first settlement Of the uniseu
States, Yankee enterprise has prompted
and urged forward the extension OF our
territorial and national Acquisitions
Thus, State after State has beer added,
and our lines gradually extended, until
the western shores of the continent,
alone, bound our vast American posses.
sions. Our latest extension in this
quarter, is to the northward, embracing
Alaska, formerly known as the Russian
possessions on this continent. In due
time, we must in the natural ours of
"mauifest destiny" also acquire the
British possessions, Mexico, and finally
the whole country from Panama to the
Arctic ocean.
This continent, however, is not enough;
we must take up extensions outside.
We already have any amount Of priyilege
granted US, but we want more. We re-
quire rights Of way, naval depots, GER
tain islands, and other national convent
ences throughout the world, rendering
us Independent of the rest of the uni
verse. To this end, We are constantly
in course of negotiation with some ma
ton or other. We have obtained n
strong foothold in China and Japan, as
well as in many other portions OF the
globe. Recently we have applied Tor
and been granted by the Juarez govern
ment the right of way to transport all
the roops and munitions of war we
choose, by the way of Guaymas, across
Mexican territory to Arizona. We need
an island for a naval depot in the Med
iterranean, also some such institution in
the Danish West Indies. These we will
have, and should our manifest des-
tiny" develop a necessity for our pos
sessing Ireland also, we shall certainly
in pursuance Of such requirement, come
into possession oft through negotia-
tons or otherwise. At present our
ideas of territorial extension are princi-
pally confined to the American continent,
but should thar, by and by prove not
enough, we shall keep on taking up ex-
tensions if necessary, until we absorb
the entire habitable globe. The world
rolls on, and so does the American M
ton.
