ontin,iesi from int

and prayer and patrii otiic zeal tonndesl
for The opp aseo Of every land !;
and having no kim, no throne, no crown,
unfurled . banner, the embl em Of Their
state, whose streaming folds have carried
hope and inspiration to mankind
Would time permit and we're the oc-
casion proper should like to point out
some Of the evils that hover around us,
but must refrain. However will say that.
in this our a merica, there IS room for
every Legitimate enterprise and for the
utmost freedom Of action so far as it
does not infringe upon the rights Of 9th
ers; but there is no room for combine
tlons and monopolles. They must ulti-
.mately seek shelter in other and to them
more congenial chimes. l
My fellow citizens, to this union We
owe our national greatness and exis-
tence. This Union which was only
reached by the dicipline: Of virtue in the
severe school Of adversely which had its
origin IN the necessities Of disordered e.
nance, PROSTATE commerce and ruined
credit. Undersits benign influences these:
great interests Immediately awoke. as
from the dead, and sprang forth as from
the newness of life. Every year of its
duration has teemed with fresh proofs
Of its utility and its blessings; and al
though our territory has stretched out
wider and wider, and our population
spread farther and farther, they have not
outrun its protection or its benefit. It
has been to us all a copious fountain of
national, social, and personal happiness.
We should not allow ourselves to look
beyond the Union, to see what might lie
hidden in the dark recess behind. While
It lasts, we have high, exciting, crafty
ing prospects spread out before us, for
us and our children. Beyond thatI seek
not to penetrate the veil. God grant
that in my day at least, that curtain may
not rise. When your eyes shall be turned
to behold, for the last time, the sun in
heaven, may you not see him shining on !!
the broken aud dishonored fragments of |
a once glorious union; on states dis-sev-
cred, discordant, beligerent; on land
rent with civil feuds, or drenched, it may
be, in fraternal blood! Let their last
feeble and lingering glance, rather, be-
hold the gorgeous ensign of the repub-
lie, now known and honored throughout
earth, still full high advanced, its arms
and trophies streaming in their original
lustre, not stripe erased or polluted,
not single star obscured and bearing
tor It's motto that sentiment, dear to every
rue American heart-Liberty and Union,
1ow and forever, one and inseperablc!
This concluded the general exercises
If hesday and the crowd dispersed to
AXE in the different attractions about
he city. ....
The horse races and ball game at the
Driving Park attracted some over 1900
people. The Great Western Band fur
lished the music, and barring the delays
Hhich seemed to. the greater portion of
he audience unnecessary, the people
we're amply entertained.
