even a ssm;-cen.enL!!al'age, ye: as
oae Of the younger b.ethre1 o. the
great household Of States, vo hold
in grateful lore our place in tnc
family. We have within our Dor
ders no Mecca Ike Plymouth Rock
or Bunker Hill TO which patriotic
pilgrims turn their wiiling footsteps,
yet large proportion Of our peo-
pie are the decendaate Of our Faith
ers Of the Repub.ic-the men who
in council framed our form Of gov
ernment, and on score Of battle
fields fought and died TO establish t.
The lapse Of time, the demands
Of business, the new life we are liy-
ing, all tend TO forgetfulness Of
the old time, and the history our
fathers made with pen and sword.
Is it not well therefore, in this an
niversary year to pledge anew our
affections 10 the Gland we live
in" TO rebuild the fire Of patroit-
ism on our new hearth-stones, and
renew the love Of Liberty and
Country in our own hearts, that in
the times Of the Revolution warm
cd the hearts Of our ancestors
Have we forgotten, in the hurry
and strife Of our money-getting, in
the rapidity with which events have
crowded upon one another in these
latter days, the blessings that have
come to us Of the past, and the debt
we owe it, Have we not taken
the good that has come TO US, as re-
wards Of our own merits rather
than the hard earnings of the early
builders : Are we not growing
thoughtless Of our country, its in
stitutions aud government, and
careless of its perpetuityl Political
quacks imagine new diseases affect
ing the body polite, and invent
panaceas for their cure, without a
protest from the people. One
urges that property should gov
ern-another, education-another,
birthplace-one desponds for fear
the government is not strong
enough, while another shudders at
the Capitalization Of power, and
here and there perchance is a mis-
anthrope who has lost all faith in q
government of the people.
Shall we not in this hundredth
birthday of the nation, turn away
from these teachers Of false doc
trine resolving to hold fast, not only
TO tho form, but to the spirit Of the
government as II was established in
its simplicity and strength : So
resolving and SO doing, we need
not fear for the future.
We, Of Michigan, need to do our
duty in this direction, and we can
not commence too soon. The his
tory of the United State is not

thought, will be named, thus leaving
