Great spplause, during which Mr, Rieard resumed bis beat. ‘The PResIpant announced the third toast— Religiovs Liberty, And culled upon E, A. Andrews, Ksq., of New York, to respond to it. Mayor Jonnap then left the chair; and his place was temporarily supplied by Benj. H. Brewatsr, Eaq., one of hereaftur Mr. EC. In obedience to your call, Irise, but under circum- stances of greater emharassment than ever surrounded me in addressing an avdienoce; Leame bere, sir, suppos- ing that 1 was to be called upon to sey a few word: reeponse to the subject of nationality, woen lo! on en- tering the room and learning what the programme was, I Gnd that 1 was Aiea nea to respons to a sentiment o*- fered to religions hiberty- surject of deeper interest, of more vital importance to us, to man, than any oth which can be announced here or op any other occasioi for, sir, religious liberty stands conaeoted not only with the highest, the tenderest, the most sacred interests of time, with sll its relations, but stands connected indis- solutly with all which conceens man when he has passed beyond the boundarier of the prerent and entered upon the dread econes of another state. Sir, before even ut- tering a few thoughts upon the subject, Isball crave your indulgence and the indulgence of my brethren as- sembled here, in giving utterance to a thonght or two on a sudject on which I supposed tt would bave been my duty to address you at this time. I know that in the exercise of your charity towards one placed as 1am, you will listea to me on the subject of Dationslity, bkeacse there are others to follow me who are bet only willing, but desirous, to give utteran:e to certuin sentiments on the great, the vital treme of reli- gious liberty, to whom [ koow you will \isten with greater pleagure than you would to anything whieh I could way upon that theme. I wish, however, to say a word or iwo to you on this subject of nationality. I be- lieve that there is an idea connected with this subject which is fundamental to, aud lies at the very fouada- tion of our movement as Americuns, to piace oar coun- try, our nation, in that position to which abe is entitled, and where, I trust, she wili remain in tho exersiee of an infinence caloulated to ‘redeem, regenerate and disen- thral”’ men, vati! all shall rejoice in that which fills our dearts with graiitade to God on this occasion, | (Ap ylause ) Nationality, sir—by which we mean the laws of a healthy rational existence and growth —in a subject the true understanding of which ia absolutely essential to a wise ami sucre sful political action. Now, sir, at the very threrhold of this subject, we are met with » political theory. (some manifestations of impatience on seeing a manuactipt produeed.) Ame- rican ren, 1 do not propose to ney anything particularly exciting or captivating, or culeulated to at- irset your attention much. But I beg of you to listen to the idea which I unfold. If it benot truto fandamea- mentally, reject it; if it bs, T ack yeu to adopt it, de- fend it, advocate it, Wustrate it practicaily, carry it out, until in all our actions «s a nation we taraish an il- lustration of it to all the natonsof theeerth. I say tue very threshold of this subject we arw met with a poli- ticel theory which denies that dist'nct nationalities ought to exist, ond amerts that the a'vision of mantlad into seperate and independent nations is in a great mea- suze arbitrary, and adapted to hicder eoeial and politi cal progrese—which asserts that the day approach when all these national distinctions will be awallowe vp, and when citizenchip will be co-sxtnsive with the world. | (Applause—in the wrong plage) Now, sach a theery is, as you are all aware, advocated, not oaly by many political philosophers of the day, bat by a portion even of the press of our own country, They sodeavor to perruads Gs that love of couatry is but a narrow preju- dice, apd that to foster nations! sentiment is to do wrong to the world at large. They tal ua that the day is soon coudog when there will be no nations] lines drawn: when tbe brotherhoot of man Wi put on end to all these national distinctioas, and place all men on a footing of sociul and political eqaatity Now, sir, if this theory be trae, if 1% be founded in truth, if ‘it be true that the idea of nationality is about to become obsolete—if it be trne that the idea of uni- vernal citizenship is about to be carried out, why, then, certainly, it is tolly for us to talk about the laws of ma: tional existence, But, sir, this theory has no founda. tion in trath. Nutionsliti¢s are neither accidental nor arbitrary in their existence. They exist by Divine ap- polntment. and are the results of those fixed natural laws wrick form femilies, (Gries of “Good.”) This distinction of rases len desp in the constitution of ha- mannatare, and can never be blotted out. It is not sir, the mere divisions of countries by geographical lines, by apy physical boundaries, by woantsins or rivers, or lakes or seas, which divide peopwes and races, No, sir; fill up the British Channel and make it a jain, will you thereby mace an Englishman a renebmen’ Bridge over the Danube, will you there- by convert the Austrian into a Turk? (A: votce, ‘No air-ree.’) No, sir, these distinctions le too deep te be blotted out’ by’ any mere change of place or of clime, They are impressed upon the whole of man- kind—they ore enstamped on the fundamental laws of our being—they are written on the mind, tbe neart, the body of man, Ido not know, Mz. President, but I'may be pursuing a course of remark not agreeable to my hearers, but I thought that perhaps a litue ¢ from the entbusiaem, the beart:inspiritimg, soal- abrorb'ng elo. quence to which you have been Iistoning, might perhaps bearelief. 1¢o not know, howover, but that my re- marks may be a little too philosophical. o litcle too dry, Dut believing, a8 ¢o, in my soul, that there is » peo- found trath heres truth lying at the very foundation of our movement—a truth which should be our polar star tn this whole glorious effort for America’s reaemption aad edger | triumph--I have ventaed to be a little dull, (Cries ‘no, no, go on.’’) Nations, sir, bave s peon- acter, as well as individuals; aud languages, custome, wannern, institations, all proclaim the power of national life. That inspired resora that God divited to the Israelites their inheritance, rly reveals the divine puspore that racea and peoples should be preserved distinet, so that their peculiar elaracteriation might be fully developed, and all that is good and nople in humanity might be brought te light. As in the femily circle the brighter api purer and holier affzc- tions of our nature, t dimnterestednens of alfection and purity and ¢rnesta of love, are wwakeoed and manifested in the highest degree—ro in the nation—in the organized nation—we find correspond’ng strength and fervor of patriotism, a spirit of cevotion and self- sacrifice, which never, never could involve efforts, which never could be called forth into existence to giai- den and delight the human heart, were it not for the existence of distinct nationalities. (Sone dis- order and manifestations of inattention.) 1 éo not know that I am _ heard throughout the room, I will endeavor, however, to mate myself heard for the few moments that’ 1 will lomger occupy your time, The noblest virtues that oan ‘humaa ity are the natural fruit of vigorous national life. Ne. ver bas there existed a ration which bas distinguished iteelf by its lofty thoughts, which has been the fraitfal mother of great men, that has not cherished in « high degree the spirit of nationality, (Applause). Where wes that spirit ever more intense than in the Jewish na- tion—the chosen of God? and with what 4xtrace- dipary care, with what unpsralieled anxiety did tho'r great leader, their lawgiver, under the {aspiration of the throne of God bimaelf, throw guards arsand tnoir nationelity, in the form of enectments by which they ‘were to be governed! (Applause.) How did their pros- rity and glory rise or fall at every period of their na- Boa histoey Just im proportion to tasir ovedience or Gisobedience tu those laws uttered by God himself for the ervation of the natiewality of their race! Aad what people waa ever more Bt ly national than the Greeks in their days of prosperity? The same was true of Rome in her of greatness ani advancement. And so has it been with every nation which has existed and exerted en important influence ‘on the destinies of the world. They bave not labored to extinguish or peed the sentiment of nationality, but rather to awaken and strengthen a national epirit.
