The grand National atOHameat in honor of the Pilgrims was dedicated yesterday, Tke mink and daughters of Plymouth were here iu great number, The weather of the early ntornlug was unpropUious, aud It was necessary to view the jwrade front lHneath umbrellas, a heavy shower prevailing.

The moruiug trains brought large numbers of strangers aud a great throng surrounded the new monument at half-past nine o'clock, when th dedicatory exercises were begun by the Masonic Grand Lodge, according to the ritual of their orI der. These exercises were very iuteresting. Tke baud rendered a selection by John K. Paine, following which the sung of praise written by R. V. Thomas Power was sung by tke Temple Quartette. Following the song came the address of the president of the Pilgrim Society, ex-Oov-eruor Long; the response of Grand Master Henry Bndicott; proclamation by Graud Marshal George H, Rhodes; rendiug of Scripture selections by Graud Chaplain Rev.

Meantime the procession had been forming, a-id at eleven o'clock moved, iu seven divisions, over an extended route. At the completion of the jvarade the officers and members of the Pilgrim Society, with the orator, poet and guests, took their places in the great dining tent and the feast provided for the occasion whs dlsensswl, for an hour. Then ex-Governor Long introduced the orator of the day, Mr. Breckinridge, who arose amid appreciative applause aud delivered his oration: It has Ueen urged that one of tlie honor to He given to thews fevered men I that ter were 'at the Iw-ginnlng' of our institutions: that they left lltl4 them the old forms and UotituooMs of the other on tinea i and ntarteit new instuulions, baseo on r.ew principles and prelected by new goveriimental nioles.

The central point in that ;td day a events was thnt their reverend pastor, falling on his knees, and all nf them with him, eomtwaded tt.em with fervent tears to the br.l. It was an official act of the pastor as Ute sc lertMt part of an organlted church then set apart to the task of Cfttabttshtnsc a new ho re ia America, I'hernWHsnoelvlti'overnmeBt. The Immlftrants did not believe ta a theocratic state mhv more than In a neenlarixtHl church. It was t meat, and out ot that necessity sprang that w ; , iHsirunKt known as the MWlal eomnitet of thf forefathers. That i.ch a compact wi.s deemed necessary demonstrates how scrnpu lously thee men held to the separation of f tate and church. Already an oriauized church they, by their own convictions ot the province of its powers and the limitations of Its atttliorltv, fclteompeled to form a civil tody politic.

My countrymen, the manifest merit f those to whoa memory that monument has lteeu erected was their loyally to truth ns they saw the truth. Thi. Is the noblest attribute to man, that he can hive the truth as we see It to he leynl tu that truth is our sunrctnest duty. John Boyle O'lUilly. the iMiet of the opeasiou. was then introduced and rea d his lment "The Pilgrim Fathers." The monument Itself, which is now completed, is something of which any American can be proud. The highest praise has been t?lven It by those qualified to judge both for Its design aud execution. It is situated ou oue of the highest hills iu the town, about north west of the rock on whlch'the Pilgrims lauded, aud west of the anchorage of the Mayflower, it commands a flue view of the harbor aud the hills and valleys which mark the country to Ute inland, aud a beautiful panorama It Is. Across: the bay rises Captain's Hill, the old home of doughty Miles Htandish, and now marked by a handsome mouument to the austere warrior. Beyoud lies; Clark's Island, where the Pilgrim spent their first Snubatu In Plymouth. Next projects the headland of Samilsh. and Mill further away the Gwinet, with its twin beueous and 11 ishlug lights, Oppo site these the mm blurt ot lalioinet thrusts itself out into the bay, while nearer inland the thin ribbon of Plym outh beach runs across the hartxir Ilka au artificial breakwater to arrest the waves of the ocean. The monument as H now stands complete cost about rJ0.,0:W. It is of solid llallowell granite throughout, and eousistfc of au octagoaal edestal forty-five. feet upon which 7.

This figure Is thirty-six feet high, aud rests with ono foot oii Plymouth Kock, holding iu her left hand the oiii lllble, while Jior right arm, uplifted, point heavenward to emphasise the meaning. The ease and graceful ioie of the figure is most striking. The pedestal has four large and four small faces. Upon the larger are tablets hearing the names of tho founder of the colouy and histwlc facts in connection therewith, whil- front the smaller faws project four buttresses or wing; ledestul. Ui ea h of tliese l seated, a figure of heroic s-lau. representing, with the flsur of "Faith," the principles or the founders. These are: "Morality," "Education," "Freedom" and "Law."

"The Hlguing of the .Social Contact ia the Cabin of the Mayflower," "Tits Uuding at Plymouth" and "The Treaty with the Indians." These are remarkably fine pieces ..r work la marble. The 'LandlHK excites the most attention for tne exceedingly life-llke character ot the scene. The stone serves to heighten the chilly feeling which suffuses a winter landscape. The sides of tho wing liedestals have tablets carryla? ont the Ideas of the figures ab ive. The projection of the mouument and the work ol completing It have been Ion and arduous. The memorial was started iu 1JW3.
