The orator referred to the democratic tendency of their inetieasions sites Jaid the foundation of the present republic. ‘They were not exotics transplavted from other climes, but grew a) taneously in the oil. and their roote twined around t! fibres of the people. The two great principles of religious faith avd civil liberty were in harmonious co-operation, and not in contrariety, That religious faith which was so powerful as & cLeerjng hope and inspiriting pleasure to our fatbors ingthose whe of sorrow and of small things’ iv no loss important in the maddening whirl of success. In the torch races of antiquity, not only those lost the prize who failed to reaca the goal before their competitors, but those also who ram so beedlcssly that the light which they carried was extinguished. 80 it is with nations to whom the sacred fire of liberty is entrustec—they must guard the flame while they run the race. Those principles and motives which shed sueh 4 pure light around the narrow cabin of the Mayflower— which gave such dignity and worth to the memorable compact there signrd—must wait upon our steps as we move slong the giddy and perilous edges of power and wealth, ‘be heat of party spirit warps the mirror of the mind so that it returns no true likemess; but it is bard to believe that men, in their sober eenres, can enter- tain actions of any danger to be apprebended to our co 7 frem the exercise or oppression of law. Men of New Engiard—Sons of the Pilgrims—let not the tleet #pgel of this hour leave us withoat blessing us; if the memories of this dey have softened and melted yonr hearts, ob! stamp upon them, before they grow cold, rome image of ancestral worth. Rich are the benedic- tions which have been dropped on our heads from that covering Heaven. Great is the duty we owe to the past; great the trust committed to us for the future We can perferm that duty, we can discharge that trust, only by welking faithfully in the present; and we will ever move in the paths of honor and peace, so long as we follow that great saitiog — which led the Pilgrims to this land of promise.
