At the close Of Mr.. MoGregors ad.
dress Mr.. Louis SChaefer was introduc.
cd. lie spoke on the Constitution.
His address was q line one but decidedly
lengthy. Lack Of space makes
lengthy abstract impossible, He spoke
of the adoption Of the Declaration Of
Independendence July 4, 70, and Of the
important steps taken by the signers
and others 10 adopt form Of govern.
ment for all the Colonies, which they
did on the 9th day Of July, l77S, emitting
the same articles of the confederation
and perpetual union between the 10
States. He read the second article Of
the constitution and OF the SCtion to
amend on the subject Regulating com
merCe, and OF the meeting May
II, 1887, in Philadelphia, and Of the
speech Of Governor Randolph In ref.
erence TO q federal government not be.
Ing wanted. He read q long letter from
Governor Morris on the constitution.
holding that the binding by oath OF leg,
islators was puerie. The speaker re-
ferred to the acts of the National legis-
lature since 1860. An article was read
from the Boston Liberator In regard to
state rights. A poem, the production
Of Horace Greely, was read, and the
speaker closed by saying: What our
colonies demanded was the right Of self
government. For they fought and
conquered. The constitution grants
that right, II was the cause of the war
of the Revolution Of 20, and the same
question was the cause Of the war Of
1861 American citizens cannot be too
watchful and Jealous Of the state rights
guaranteed TO them by the constitu.
ton The apparent tendency Is TO ig-
more and to deprive the states Of their
rights. Our United States Senate and
House Of Representatives has too many
deciples of Governor Morris and his
compeers. IL Is amusing TO hear the
admirers and worshipers Of the doc.
triues Of Zeagal, Garrison, Lake Brown,
Glddings, Wade, Leonard Chase and
their colleagues SO terribly now in love
with the flag, the Union and the con.
stitution.
The three addresses were noted for
their clearness and excellence in deliv.
cry, Mr.. Schaeier used no notes, his
address thus showing an enviable mem.
ory of and familiarity with, the Con.
stitution. The flowers furnished ~ the
ball were from Roach's green house.
From 10 until morning the dance
was kept up, and it was INDUCED in by
many. The music was the finest ever
given in the city, The ball was a
grand success,
