The Yorktown Centennial.

The programme for the 10Th was successfully
carried out at Yorktown The following is Presi
dent Arthur's address
Upon this soil one hundred years ago our fore
fathers brought to successful issue their her oc
struggle for independence, Here and then was
established and as we trust, made secure upon
this continent for ages vet to come, that principal
OF government, which is the very figure of our
political system, the sovereignty of the people
Those resentments which attended and for a time
succeeded the close of the war have long siace
ceased to animate the heart, and it is with no feel
ing OF emulation over a defeated foe that to day
we summon up remembrance of those events
which have made holy the ground wherein we
tread
Surely no such unworthy sentiment could find
harbor IN our hearts to days profoundly thrilled
with the expressions OF sorrow and sympathy
which our national bereavement has evolved from
the people of England and their august Sovereign.
But 1t is altogether fitting that we should gather
here to refresh our souls with the contemplation
OF the nntalterlng patriotism, the sturdy zeal and
the sublime faith which achieved the results we
now commemorate for if we learn Alright the les
son of the hour, shall be melted to transmit to
the generation which shall follow, the precious
legacy which our fathers left to us, the love of
liberty protected by law.
OF that historic scene which We are here to eel
citrate, no feature is more prominent and none
more touching than the participation of our gal
liant allies from across the sea 1t was their pres
enee which gave fresh and vigorous impulse to
the hopes Of our countrymen when well nigh
dlsheartened by long series of disasters ii
was their noble and generous aid extended in
the darkest period of The struggle which sped
the coming of cur triumph and made the ca
p1tulatlon OF Yorktown possible century ago.

cause which was here crowned with success and
none OF the memories awakened by tins auniccr

may ever remain mistaken and that even hence

the earth may be at peace
