perpetual Temple of Peace, unshadowed by a
Casar's palace; at whose altar may freely
commune all who seek the union of liberty
! and brotherhood.
Long live our country! Oh, long through
the undying ages may it stand, far removed
in fact in space from the old worlds feuds
and follies---solitary and alone in its grandeur
and its glory, itself the Immortal monument
of Him whom Providence commissioned to
teach man the power Of truth, and to prove
TO the nations that their Redeemer liVeth."
Though having his manuscript on the desk
before him Mr.. Daniel referred TO 1t but once
or twice during the course of his Grafton. He
spoke in an easy manner, his voice being
finely modulated to suit the meaning Of his
sentences, and his speech was accentuated
and Emphasized By graceful gestures. Many
times was he interrupted by rounds Of ap-
plause elected by his clean cut and well
balanced periods, and by his eloquent style
of uttering them. As he closed Senator Ed
munds and Senator Sherman, Speaker Car
Isle and Representative Long warmly con-
graduated him, while once more the audience
testified their appreciation of the orators
eloquence After the benediction by the
chaplain Of the house the distinguished
guests departed and the speaker called the
house to order, and the house adjourned till
Monday.
