The Fourth of July celebration at
Clare, passed off pleasantly, thero being a fair attendance and a beautiful
day. At ten o'clock the services at
the bowery were commenced, and
carried out according to the published
programme, 0. W. Perry, Esq., presided, and the platform was oeouuiod
by the other officers, singers,' "and*

day was the address of the orator,
given herewith in full. It is worthy
of perusal and preservation, being"
short, pointed and eloquent.
SKNATOU t'Ol'HKANK'S OUATION.
Mi", Chairman and friends:
Wrapped in the mantle of thought,
and wonder, the student of American"1
liberty stands to-day in silent awe
and reverence. Tho past rises liko a
dream before him, and as the vision
fades away it leaves him clothed in
still deeper mystery and admiration.
Upon tliat sacred scroll, a part of
which has been rolled together-and
carefully preserved in the archives of
a world's treasures, ho loves to study
the march of imurovoment for the
past hundred years. His vision penetrates still farther into the dim vista,
and weired fancy paints him a scene
upon a cold, bleak and inhospitable*.
shore.
Its rocky coast rises beforo him and
from the deck of the. staunch and
weather-beaten May-Flower he sees
a little, band gaze with anxious eye
upon their future home.
Bearing in their bosoms a drm and
unfaltering trust in Him who directed
their good ship to its ttnal destination,
he sees thwm embark, and each one
of that brave band, there upon bended knee, and uncovered head, with
the. blue sky their only canopy, and
the frozen soil beneath their feet, their
foot-stool, givo their thanks to Him
who once "bade, the seas be calm,"
For over two hundred years he follows them in jinaginatiou
their progress.

privitation, cold and hunger, resisting during the long watches of the
silent night tho attack of tho hostile.

ward, and the land of their adoption
is changed from a wilderness to a
home where plenty smiles.
But while the earth yielded them
her bounty, there was iu their hearts
a longing for liberty. Bound for ages
a'- they had been by the coils of oppression, their natures yearned for
God's greatest gift to man, freedom.
When at last the yoke of tyranny became too heavy to be horne, they met
and with one resolve "dared to do or
die," Fither revel in the sunlight of
liberty, or groan and die in bondage.
We meet my friends, to-day for tlie
purpose of celebrating that event, and
paying our tribute of respect to those
old heroes who met more than a
hundred years ago in the city of Philadelphia, and upon the4th day of July
from the steps of Old Independence
Hall, flung to the world a declaration
of principles which has since becomo
as much a part of our existence, as
the sacred page upon whieh each of
the signers of that immortal scroll,
pledged their lives, their fortunes,
and their sacred honor.
Theirs was no idle task. It required a heroism so determined that he-
fore it pales into insignificance the defenders of tho pass at Thermopyle.
Thoy knew that if they were succeas-
ful, iu tho futurp they would have a
home, a State and a government. If
they failed they saw in thb distance
the. English bastile, and a little fur*
ther on, the headsman's block,
They placed then* cause in prayer
before the God of battles, and with a
firm and unfaltering trust in Him,
went forward from conquering to
conqueror.
For seven Ions* years the conflict
raged, and durhur that time they
struggled against hope and ft"ju*« Poor
in purse they fought their mother
country which was rich and powerful, but the God of right would not
see that little plant of republican
liberty wither and die, but watching
and caring for Its future He made it a
mighty host against its enemies. The
siege of York Town and Monmouth
bear witness of this. The treachery
of an Arnold tell us of treason within
their lines.
The suffering during the cold and
dreary, winter of 1779, tell us of their
stuggling with want, cold and hunger.
Yet, notwithstanqinjr ail this, at the
close of 17811 those principles wMch
they had fought and bled for, were
recognized by England, and since
that time we. have acknowledged no
superioc, either upon land oiVsea. In

On Mlie t4th of June, 1777, the
AmejflHin Congress "Resolved that
the fl«g of the. thirteen United .States
be thJHecn stripes, alternate red and
whitts, )That the union be- thirteen
states,'white iu a blue field, repre-

TlMjHlag was given to us as an eni-
blenisJIfoHis to revere and love, and
whemflven to us the injunction was,
that #• should protect it, and. that
whenf^er its folds should be flung to
the hm^7.Q upon land and sea, it
shonjif jj'unin liberty for the oppressed.
How.wHI we have, kept our trust,

written.

bloody and expensive, I need not tell
you. That It took the young and
fairest of tbe flock, I remember well,
There ure. those, before me to-day who
know of tlie sacrifices that were made
better than I can relate theuu There
are thoso before mo who cau tell of
the homes made desolate, of the vacant chair at tho fireside, and of tlie
hearth-stone across which his shadow
will never more linger. In the silent
cemetery yonder is perchance a little
grassy mound, at one end a plain
marble slab, and inscribed upon it
the simple inscription, "Died at the.
battle of the Wilderness." Unon another, "Killed at: Gettysburg," and-
perchance upon another, "Killed by
a rebel, shot at Lookout Mountain."
That meniora bio battle that was fought
above the clouds. Scores, nyo thousands left their bodies to moulder, and
their bones to bleach upon.Southern
soil, and beneath the burning rays of
a torrid sun. Whilo every mother
felt that her sacrifice was the greatest,
I cannot help recalling to your minds
the sad fate of him who as the. savior
of American liberty, when he was
about to lift his eyesandbehotdiStatcs
onco dissevered, now again restored
to one common unity, a country racked by internal feuds again reunited.
A people who by blind prejudice had
been made to war one against the
other, return to their old allegiance
and renew again, their love, and fidelity to the government they had sought
to destroy.
I cannot help caliiugyour attention
for one moment to him, who, when
he. had wooed peace, was struck down
by tlie deadly bullet of the assassin.
I. believe that 3 le who holds the destinies of nations, even in the hallow
of His hand, gave us a Lincoln to
save us as a nation, when it seemed
that naught but defeat was ours, and
whether we could have found another whose big heart was filled with
"charity for all, and maliace toward
none," I know not, hut that we had
him, a restored Union will bear us
witness. Yet with all that care and
solicitude, with which ho watched
over and saved us, he was not permitted to live aud enjoy a land he
had saved, and retrieve that mead and
reward which would have beenoffer-
edhini by agreatf ul people. Crowned
with worldly honors thick upon him,

reation, and pleasure should not be
burdened with prosy talk on protracted debate. Let me in conclusion adjure, you that as each succeeding ani-
versary of this character you are permitted to enjoy, you each of you renew your fealty to the country that
has done so much for you. Hwear
anew your allegiance to her constitution and her laws,
. Consecrate your lives afresh upon
the altar of freedom's shrine, and if
ever again it shall be your lot to witness traitorous hands trying to dim
one star that has been placed in that
glorious constellation, as represented
'upon our National Banner, swear by
the. God above you that they shall
not succeed. And above all, ever
keep in mind the memory of those
"who during the heat of battle, or upon the tented field, in hospitals or
prison pons bore with tired arms the
bleeding form of this Republic of ours,
and at last planted her afresh upon
the rock of Constitutional liberty and
a free government.

Anderson with his little band see
the preparations being made around
for his final overthrow. Frowning
batteries are raised around him and
when the work is completed the final
summons is sent him to surrender.
His answer should be carved in letters of living light, and placed upon
the key-stone of every temple of liberty throughout tl-ieland, His answer
was this: "Neither my sense of honor nor my obligations to the government will permit me to comply."
The old Hag that had heen lowered
with the coming on of night is now
raised again in the heavens, and
streams proudly from its flag staff,
like a thing of life, in defiance to the
summons that its mantling folds
should.be trailed in the dust by traitorous bauds.
The posterns are closed, and that
brave band await through the long
and silent watches of the night for
the first signal of the approaching
storm. As the sun gilds the eastern
horizon and gives notice of approaching dawn comes the expected shot,
and as its last faint echo dies away
upon the waters the form of liberty
that has been hovering near, bows
her head in silence and sorrow. No
shot or shell ever before was sent upon "a npssiou in its darkened flight.
That little bant} defpnd the fort for
many long, weary days. Their strong
hold is fired with hot shot and explosive shell; finally the walls of Bumpier hegin to crumble, the last ration
is gone, the main gate burned down,
the conflict hopeless, yet the hero of
Suippter and his brave- baud stood
im moved and imdaipited amid the
gathering wreck, Now the magazine
takes fire, the shell explode, the flagstaff is shot away, butthecolor bearer
amid a rain and storm of shot and
shell, nails it to the ramparts, and
the old flag waves defiantly in the
breeze until saluted by Union guns,
when the brave little band march out
to the musie ofthe Union, and under
the shadow of that dear old flag lowered, hut thank God not surrendered,
Soon the tired defender of a nation's honor are afloat upon their
ocean home, and the Flag of Sump-
tor is seen proudly floating from the
mast of the Baltic. Then it was that
we began to appreciate liberty, but
the-Wisest sage had never in prophetic
vision ere dreamed that American
liberty would be overthrown in the
house who should be its friends.
Then it was that the tocsin of war
u/as sounded and the cry \ym heard,
Y^ting. tln'ftiigh hUraivl wlley,
over meadow tt\u\ plain, "v,. e are
coming three huhdred thousand
strong." Men rallied from the field
and work-shop, from the counting
room and fireside, the plow share
was beaten into the sword, American
women tried to -excel the Spartian
mother iu their sacrifices upon the
altar of their country.
It was not the marshaluing of an
army for the war of conquest. Not
for the acquisition of territory, Jt
M'as only to maintain \\W avuwmaey
oi-the old fla&, anil keep sacred, the
trjM committed to us by the struggle
crucified redeemer he went to join
thatinnunierablethrong wliose house
is beyond the toils of Earth. We remember him to-day as ono who harbored no malice toward any. He
knew no North, South, East, or West,
naught but his country and the whole
of that country,* But he is gone!
Gone from us'forever! He died iu
tlie full vigor of his manhood, with
the mantle of state, around him! His-
sun went down without a cloud upon
its disk, and his spirit we would fain
believe is now at rest with the Savior
he learned to love in his boyhood.
The conflict of '(il was to us a baptism of blood, but we emerged from
the troubled sea, and to-day stand
high above tho quick-sands of internal strife. That struggle will only
tend to make us stronger as a nation,
and develop to us the knowledge of
our real strength and greatness. It
has shown us the. strength of Bepubliean institutions, and taught the
world that a government of the
people is stronger than one of roj'al
blood, It has taught us that when
the heat of battles was over, when
peace once more folded hor tired pinions over aland that had been drenched with the blood of brothers, that
with the echo of the last shell, and
mqsio of the final bullet, with their
dying cadence also was buried every
hostile feeling. There was perhaps
for a timo, feelings of bitterness between the two contending parties,
but the noblewomen of our-land each
wishing to bvp-y all rembrance of the
past, first conceived the beautiful
Decoration service that we have interwoven into our institutions, of covering the graves of those wlio fell in
battle, with flowers. Originating in,
as the custom did in a distant State,
the refrain was caught by noble women over all our land until ever5*
State, from the rocky shores of Maine
to the golden slope of the West meet
upon the 31st day of May, in every
year, and decorate with flowers the
little grassy mounds beneath which
repose the ashes of one who fell in
the defence of what he believed to be
his country's right.
And each mound receives the same
care, whether the uniform was blue
or gray.
No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers he red;
They banish otlr anger fQnjVeVi
When they la«rc,\ tl\o graves of ^o dead.
