WORDS FROM DEPEw.
After the singing by the choir of Star
sSpangled Banner and Hail Columbia, !"
Chauncey M. Depew was introduced; He
said.
This day belongs not to America, but to the
world. The results OF the evrnt.it commence
rates are the heritage OF the peoples OF every
every race and cine. We celebrate the emanci-s
patton of man. The preparation was the work
of almost countless Centuries, the realisation

record of unstable civilizations. Each reached

lions OF man for conquest and intellectual de-
velopment. Their destruction involved a sum
OF misery and relapse which made their creation
rather curse than blessing. Force was the
factor in the government of the world when
Christ was born, and force WAS the sole source
and exercise OF authority both by church and
state when Columbus sailed from Palos. The
wise men travelled from the east towards the
west uEder the guidance OF the Star of Bethle-
hem. The spirit Of the equality OF all men be-

Calvary with its revolutionary influence upon
old institutions, to the Atlantic ocean. Column

of the United States will here present, and to
which. through it's chief m aeistrate it invites all
nations. condenses and displays the flower and
fruitage OF this transcendent miracle. Absolut-s

the faintest glimInsr of revolt against tyranny;
and the problems OF scienoe, whether Of the
skies or OF the earth, whether OF astronomy or
geography, were solved or submerged
by Eccieslasticai DEGREES.
The sum OF human happiness has been in
fiuite!y increased by the millions from the old
world who have improved their conditions in
the new, and the returning tide of lesson and
experience has incidentally enriched the father
lands. The divine right OF kings has taken its
place With the Instruments OF medieval torture
among the curiosities OF the artiquary. Only
the shadow OF kingly authority stands between
the government OF themselves, by themselves,

German liberalism. The petty despotisms
OF Italy have bseu merged into ia
its authority in its ancient capitol
on the hills of Rome. France was rudely reused
from the sullen submission OF centuries to intol-
erable tyranny, by her soldiers returning from
service i'll the American revolution. The wild

Now in the ful!ness OF time and through the

James the Second, England OF George the Third
and OF Lord North, has enlarged suffrage and is
to-day animated and governed by the demo-

occupied by one Of tina wisest soyer .igns and
bestof women, but it would not survive one dis
solute and unworthy successor She has her
hereditary peers, hut the house OF lords will be
brushed aside the moment it resists the will of
the people,. The time has arrived for both a
closer union and greater distance between the
Old World and the New. The former indis-

try, recognize the horizon which bounded his
vision and the infinite scope of his genius The
voice Of gratitude and praise all the blessings
which have been showered upon mankind by

uttered IN every tongue. Neither marble nor
brass can fifty form his statue Continents are
his monument. and unnumbered millions, past
