At Penniylvanliburg, Blplov County, on tho Fourth of July, 1867. Tbe following oration was delivered by " General Ben. Spooner, it a celebration of bur national birth-day, at Pennsylvania- , burg, Ripley county, and U published at Ihe request of a committeo who solicited the manuscript of tbe General for that purpose, ' Fcllovo-citizent, Saldier ami LadleU Tboao of u who bad tbe good fortune to be born on American toil were learned la our early lnfaney that thii great Hepublio waa born into the world of nations on the 4th day of July, 1770 and we were also taoght to love, cherish and ro. tere the day, and the glorious associations with which it is encirclod. Those of you who have adopted this country as your home, learned aoon after setting foot upon her soil, if ycu did not know it hefore, ihat this great free Government la tbe off. ' ipring of a nighty struggle for independence, fought to a successful termination by oar Hevolutionary fathers. . ,,Oo this day, however much we may -differ in religious or political opinions, we delight to meet together around the altar of our common country and renew our vows oue to the oiher to maintain ii fact to our children the priceless institutions transmitted lo us by our fathers. The ;atory of tbe Involution is beautiful and instructive, and a them with which ever American citizen should to familiar, to the euj that the great blessings resulting to u from the patriotism, toil and suffering cf our Athen, tusy bo properly ip. .predated, cherished and, protected. To run over that great history by detail would . be the works of days imtcad of hours, and it mutt suffice to refer to it but briefly. The causes which undo tho declarations jou have juat beard read, necessary, as a prelude to the great war for tbe rights of tuan, and which aro so carefully coumer . ated, have long since bceu acknowledged by the civilized world, as a complete jus. tification for tho severance of tho ties ; which before that time had existed between tho colonics and tho mother country. The sublim announcement of our ' lathers, " lid hold tints truth to It elftiideut that all men art created ryui!', and thatthty art tndvtced ly their Ctrator cllh ttituin inalunalU riyht, among which art lift, liberty and the jmnuit of huppiiuu" waa the gnat rock of rij;ht and justice up. on which they stood, and from which British tayoueU nor British gyld could never move theru. The declaration solemnly declares. '1 hat these United Colonies arc, ana ot right oujiht to be, fieo aud independent States," and tho declarants plcJged to ach other, thoir lives, their fortunes aud their sacred honors, to maintain and enforce that declaration. War, of course, followed, for tho iron-hearted tyrant who ruled andshaped tho destiuiea of England, usauujed to ducct aud control tho mfant colonists. , But that little band of patriots, mal I itf numbers, and feeblo in means, - redit, and the munitions of war, not unlike tbe gallant men who stood by tho Government in her late great struggle - ugaiost armed treason in the South, loitered and encouraged by bords of sympu tbizers in the North, were not at all alarmcd by the threats of that kingly ariatootacy that rules by blood and birth and revels in tbe luxurious theory that laborers are the "tnud $UU of society," and that - wealth should own and control the sweats of tho laborious brow. They knew that . the struggle must come, aud come, too, - very soon; but there wero no faint hearts among tho patriotic men and women of that day,, and the meu declared in the language of Quiucy: "Blandishments will not fascinate us, nor will threats of a halter iutiiuidate; for, uuder God, we aro do . itermioed tbat wheresoever, whensoever, . or howsoever we shall be called to make our exit, we will die free tuen." With brave hearts, strong nerves and a ' will determined upon victory or death, ' thia little land of heroca met the shock of British battles, uever doubtiog but al ways trusting tbat the God of Nations and tbe llight, would finally deliver them a free, aud independent people, aud with this faith they struggled, suffered aud fought 6n, until, at the end of seven yeats, peace came, and with it religious aud political liberty. . Article ol confederation were reported r July 12.1-, 1776, and debated from day to day and time to time for two year, aud were rafifif d on the 9th (lav of Julv. 1778.

On the 25th day of September, 1789, ten amendments were proposed to the Constitution and ratified by the conatitutional number of States on the 15tb ..of December, 1791. The eleventh amendment was ratified on the 8th of January, " 1793, and the twelfth on the 25th of Sep- ' tember, 1801, . Of the men' and the results of the rev.olution, we can only speak in tbe most general terms; and of the men, it is perhaps enough to say, they were wise, brave and patriotio, hated tyranny and loved liberty, and if I may be allowed the expression, were the chosen of God's own best judgment, to make the New World ' . what it ia now conceded to be. "the land of the free and the home of the brave." "With their foil and suffering and blood, they laid and cemented the foundation upon which has aince been erected the proudJ. est temple of liberty on which tbe sun has ever hone.

Then, all , was comparatively a forrest now all -is comparatively city, town and cultivated country. ' Then, our rivers were navigated, if at all, only by the keel-boat and the scow now, the proud palatial steamer may be seen gliding through Iho water like a thing of life The mud and corduroy roads aro superseded by the rail and AlcAdamised roads. Then - it took weeks and even months to hear from our friends in Fatherland now we can receive a dispatch from them per Atlantio Cable, a few hours before it starts from tbe other end of the line. The young men of the country insist upon it that tbe girls of to-day are much prettier than the girls of the olden time, and dress with much more taste than their mothers. Then they did not wear hoops now ihey wear whoppcra now they wear large, masMve and magnificent wa-ter-fatU then, thej didn't. Who can comprehend tho length and breadth and depth and bihtof our great nesa aud power as a people? and who will lay that we may hot incroaso in this greatn!s aud power until tho slugs aud potentates of the Old World seeing our good works will say to their subjects, It ye also a fut and iiuleiKudcut pcoulo. As we run alone our hutorv, we find that up to a receut period, though comparatively so, we hive not been entirely xeiutyt Ironi internal oomtuoliooa of a threatening character, aud bloody entanglement with ibieign powers. In 1812 we had a struggle with Great JJritain, but iho loo ti Imticd w hit tho ought lo hnvo known before that, aa a uution of free men we knew our rights, aud would, and could, maintain them triumphantly, agaioat anj, bud if need bo, all the aristocracy and crowned heads of tho old world. In 1832 the people of South Carolina, or rather the leading politicians of tho State, took exceptions to the several acts of Congress imposing duties and impoU on tho importation of foreign commodities, and threatened to accede from tho Union. Hut we have reason' to be exceedingly thankful to an all-wine Providence that, that brave old patriot and Mitcsman An drew Jackson, was then I'roiJcnt of tho Uuitcd Statos. lie determined thatnoStuto should secede, and tbat tho Union ahould not be thus destroyed, and at onco ioed his proclamation to tho people of Soiith Carolina, as also to tho Vholo people. Ily way of co nt ranti n-r tho window, ratriotiain and gallantry of that eminent old states man, with thopcrudy and treason or the iufamou James Duohanan, who, as l'rchident in 1SÜ0 and tho early part of 1SC1, permitted this same bouth Carolina, with other Southern States, to secede from tf.e Union, from a Southern Confederacy, and electa President and Vico President, allow mo to read an extract or two from OKI Hickory's" proclamation. Hero the speaker read several paragraphs from that proclamation. May we and our children and our children's children remember and bless tbe memory of the former for his unflinching zeal and love for the Union, and for bering his strong right arm in the hour of danger, raving our happy land from terrible civil war; and let us remember, but never bless, the Utter for using his tlare, power and patronage to destroy this fuion and drench it in fraternal blood. South Carolina traitors succumbed, and the country moved ou prosperously, without a wave of trouble to disturb our peace, until tbe war with Mexico, in 181U. In this contest our arms were victorious and peice ajon retunud. We went j rjudly on, little dreaming, however, that tho seed of treason aud rebellion were being thickly sown in tho South, and even in tho North and thst in a few years they would grow and ripen into a bloody civil war. In 18CO another Presidential campaign was upon U4 and Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the Unite 1 States. The news of Mr. Lincoln' election wa received, at Charleston, on the 7th of November, with cheers for a Southern Confederacy aud the hoisting of the -'Pal motto Flag" on the vessels in the harbor.

February 9th, Jefferson Davis and Alexander H. Stevens waa elected Provisional President and Vict President of tbe Southern Confederacy. . I have thought it not inappropriate to the occasion, to make a brief reference to the multitude of truasonablo acts perpetrated against tho government, by the South em States, and people during the closo of the aduiiol.-tiatiou of James lluchanao, that you may be reminded of the great, but di. -graceful fact, tbat all this aud much more, waa done indeed that this beloved land was plunged into a terrible civil war, without even a protest on the part of the Executive, or tbe party, as a party, by which he was elevated lo, and suküiued, while in ofik-e. ' ' HOLD TI1K ÜCILTY KK9P0NSIBLS.

April 15th Provide tit Lincoln issuod his proclamation commanding all persons in arms aguinat the Government to diaporso within twenty days,' aud called in seventy-five thousand volunteers. Thia warning was uuhoeded by tho infamous traitors, and the clash of arms was soon heard, and loyal men were early found bravely bleeding and dying in defence of our own and our father's good old flag. In what condition did this terrible calamity Audit uh? We knew nothing of war, forall our lives had beenspentin peace. We feared no enemy from without, aud did not for a uuu.eot dream of one of cousidera ble niignitude withlu our own body politic ' In thli j.lmty ApJ ft tfpeici, jtur yuuog uia at'ir wert traloaa . . , , .!

The war went op, and as emergency required more volunteers wero called for until tho whole number uuder arms from time to time exceeded two million men. Of this grand army of patriots, how mtny gave their lives to secure to us and our posterity the institution we as freo aen, this day enjoy, and delight to boast of? Go ask tho battlefield go ask tbe camp, tl o lines of rasrch, tho hospital, the lea, the rebel prisons, where so many of the loeal braves were starved to douth. Ask all these to give up their loyal dead, and over three hundred thou saud of these loyal spirits, coutd they do so, would pass iu review beforo you, and each for himself , would say, could he speak: ''Hold the guilty rcponoiblo. My bl jod may bo found, alike upon the skirts of Northern sympathizers and the aimed traitor of tbe douth."

We know what it has cost, in blood and toil and suffciing to save it. We have seen our. comrades sicken aud die, on the battlefield we have seen bundreda o them fall in death with their lace to the foe, and we felt, as you, my loyal -fellow-citizens, uo doubt felt, like exclaiming in the language of Montgomery. r -t "Qire ma tha drat of thoia ,.

BROOKVILI.E, INI; , FRIDAY. AUGUST 2, 1807.

Indianiana would rather not, be known as KrVwken abroad; but pow, wherever he may be. at home or abroad, on the id or ou the land, lie takes great pride in say ing "J am ai Iniianian" The graves of our own gallant dead may be founi around every federal camp andliospital, on every line of march and on every battlefield of thia war. -Lit us honor tho memory of our dead braves, and cherish a liCcly gratitude for our living heroes. In other ycaiCT we celebrated this day because of ita association with revolutionary times, but nor it is encircled with additional luster and glory, because of the defeat oi General Loe and his army at Urittyaourg, and of the surrenderor Vicksburg on the fourth day of July, 1803. Our fathers did a great work, but we did a greater one. 'Twas great to peak a world from nought, but greater to redeem. Our insttlutioua have been tried in the firo of civil war, have been re loptaed in the best blood of the land, and to day thia great llepublio presents herself to the world as she never did before, in robes of tho highest order of republican, civil and religious liberty. We are redeemed disenthralled, aud the whole peoplo. North aud South, are alike Vre and independent. Hut my fellow-soldiers and loyal follow citizens, I meau those who were loyal to the government during the war, when it cost treasure aud blood to be loyal, let us not imagine that our work ia entirely done. Let us not fold our arms in fancied security, tbat whether we bleep upon our rights or not, all will be well with us as a people hereafter. Our duty to our oountry is not jet duDC. Great battles, bloodies and peaceful, but neverthelena great and important, are yet to bo fought in order that the government wa have saved from the traitor's bayonet, may not aain fill into traitor's hands. Let us Icain wisdom from our revolutionary fathers. History teaches us tbat in the days of tbo revolu tion, citiiom of tho coloniei took up arm, in favor of lircat Uritaiu, aympathiiod with, and gavo aid and comfort to her, during the eutire itrugglo of our fathers for independence And tbe same history teaches us that, 'after our independence wua acknowledged, our fathers treasured up this petfldy treated thee enemies of freo govcrnmout with com and coutempt and took good coro that not one of tbeiu should hold oilloe, or io any wine shapo the duti nici of the r.e repulli j. We know who were citemiei to our country during our recent great struggle against Southern and Northern treason, and we havo but to aply the rule of our fathers in thia regard, to euablo us without lurthcr bloodshed to trammit to our children the bent Government the world ever saw. And we are taught by the same history thit our lathe ra did not regard tho Constitution of their own banus us too sscied for change or amendmont, - Ay ill yft do our duty? 1 have great confidenco in the Union soldiery of the country, and would bo perfectly willing, with liruut and Sherman aa their loaders, to lot their voice and' their vote shapo and determine our destiny, 'Uivs mo tbo bayonsti of former day i, (Jive uie tho iua wb b ro thain. V'bo for tbo right sublliuoljr stord, And traitor oroucbed biforo thsut." Hut the Union soldier asks no such dUtinction, and is cooteut to co-operate with tho truly loyal man everywhere, to secure and maiutiiu human rights and political liberty. 1 Fellow-citizens; In view of the past. I beg you not to loriet the soldier' widow and her orphan children-reo that they! are supported, protected, clothed and educated. Take care of the wounded that are not able to take caj-o of themselves the able-bodied ask tt lavors. When at the. ballot box you expense the patron age confided to you aih free people, I ask you to givo to the ljooest, capable and faithful Union soIdierLt leut one-half of the office of trust ana profit. I ask nothing for myself, but plead for my fellow soldiers God knows I love them all, and especially those of my own gallant 83d. I hope their lives may he loug, prosperous, honorable aud useful. I want them to be loved, honored and blest by the people; and wheu they go hence, may their exit bo a peaceful and glorious one. As we look upon thee torn aud tattered ban tiers, carried iu the heat of battle by your own loved ones, let us all once more renew the vows we have already made. Loyal ladies of Itipley county; I cannot forego tho pleasure it affords u e to thank. you for the patriotism you displayed duiiup the war. I do this for my fellow soldiers as well as for myself. We know how ably and eloquently you at 1 times deleodc-d our holy cause, aud how you toi'cd ni'ht and day, to gladden us iu camp, on the march aud ou the battle field God blest yu, toy all the yddlers. The liues have fallen to us iu pleasant places. We are tbe mightiest people on earth. We have the best country un the globe we have the finest rivers and lakes the best railroads and fastest horses the bravest men and prettiest women we are indeed the great sun of liberty, and our rays of light aud liberty will shine on and on, until the poople of tho whole world shall be warmed, into the light and likeness of a free tuirMndepcndent people.

We hcv em now. In Uhio that question is to be voted onto this lull: in Moo York and Michigan its ruisio a bieozo in thr Lonvetinhun; and in PeunsylvHUia, Uliooy and Indiana it can't be long put off: Us our beat holt, ihe proud (Jauoushuti vich votes tho Dimeuratia ticket lies no objeukshun to bein josslcd by tho Niggur in the rush to pay taxes, but his huwty soul recoils at the- idee uv bein elbowed by him at the polls.

Wat tbo Demokrisy want now is to bo handle this dclikit subjick ez to make the most uv it. The great troublo with the party is that there is no uniform style uv mcetin this question. On the main question wo aro all agreed. We all oppoe nigger suffrage. Its 'a part and parcel uv u Dimok rot's nacher to oppose . nigger suffrage. Ihe leaders uv the party opposed it at tbo beginnin, for seein how the ballot wuz abuxed by their followers they trembled for the Republic ef it wuz entrusted to the hands uv any more uv ekal capassity, and the masses uv the organization opposed gtvtn it to the nigger, uecog that one privilege, and coior, wuz all tbat distinguished CUl.

Fortunately the Diinokrucy hev the nigger for their etnaller 1 co. . The sturdy yeomanry felt it to bo a sooihio thing to find, wunst each yeer, that in wun thing. at least, he was soopcrior to eumboddy, and so it will be so long es there is a Dituokr&cy. The troo Dimokrat promotes his self, not by liftiu hisself above the level onto which be tindd himself, but by ihoven omo wun down to a lower .level, and ez there wuzn't anybody else on thii euutinent which they cooi git hold uv, the oiggcr wuz, long ago, selected tur thut purpose. Ihe great troublo in, we opposo nigger suffrage now from too many Etundpints. Some oppose it on the store uv tbe inferiority uv the Afrikin, but that never wuz a popular idea with our people. Tbey may hev assented to it out-wardly, but in their own minds they objected. 'Ef," aays a' reliable Dimokrat to his&elf. "cf that's tho rule, WAT IN TIIUXSEU 13 TO BE COME UV ME?"

Oh, these rich men's sons. They aim to lead a life of emaseulated idleness and laziness.' Like the polyp that floats useless and nasty upon the sea. all jelly, all flabby, no muscle, uo bone; it ahats and opens, and opens audshuiH and sucks in and rquirts out again, of no earthly account, influence or use.
