/ AN ADDRESS | S e l The U, 8, Centennial Commission, To the People of the Unated States:| 3. " The Congress of the United |States has enacted that the compl. tion of the One Hundredth Year of American Independence shall be celebrated by an International Exhibition of the arts, manufactures and products of the soil and mine, to be held at Philadelphia, in 1876, and has appointed a Commission, consisting of Representatives from each State and Territory, to conduct the celebration. Originating under the auspicea ofithe National Legislature, controlled by a National Commission, and designed as it is to “‘Commemorate the/ first Century of our existence, by an exhibition .of the natural resources of the country and their’ development, and of our progress in those arts which benefit mackind, in comparison with- thoseé of older nations,” it is to the people at large that the Commission look for'the aid which is necessary to make the Centennial Celebration the grandest apuiversary the world has ever seen. : : - That the completion of the first century of our existence should be marked by some imposing demoustration is, we believe, the patriotic wish of the people of the whole country,The Congreas of the United “tates has wisely decided that the birth-day of the greatrepublic can be most fittingly celebrated by the universal collection and display of ailthe trophies of itB progreas. ltisdesigned to bring togeth-* er, within a building coveriug fifty acres. not only all the varied produciions of our mines and of the soil, but'types of all the intellectual triumphs of our citizens, specimens of evérything that America can furnish, whether from the brang or the hands of her children. and thus make evident to the world the advancement of which a self-governed people is capable. : i ‘

In this ‘“Celebration’’ all nations will be invited to participate, its character being internatignel. Europe will display her arts and mapufactures, India her curious fabrics, while uewly op(mea' ynina ana Japan wiil 18y uvare ihe treasures which for centuries their ingeuious people have been perfecting. Each land = ill compete in generous rivalry for the palm of superior excellence. To this grand gathering every zone will contribute its fruits and ceréals. No mineral shall be wanting, for what the East lacks the Weat will supply. - Under one roof will the South diaplay in rich luxurisnce her growing cotton, sud the North in miniature, the ceaseless machinery.of her mills converting that cottov into cloth, Each section of the globe will send its best offerings to this exhihition, and each State of the Union, a 8 a member-of one united body politic, will show tojher sister States and to the world, how much she can add to the greatness ot the nation 'of which she is a harmonious art. : . To make the Centennial Celebration such a success as the patriotism and the pride of every American demands will require the co-opera tion of the people of the whole country. The United States Centennial Commission has received no Government aid, such a 8 England axtended to her world’s fair, and France to her universal exposition, yet the labor and responsibility. imposed upon the Commirsion is as great as in either of those nndertakings. It is. eatimated that ten millions of dollars will be required, and this sim Congrees has provided shall be raised by stock subscription, and that the people shall have the opportunity of subscribing in proportion to the populatidn of their respective States and Territories, The Commission looks to the unfailing psat: riotism of the people of every section, to see that each contributes its share to the expenses, vud receives ita share of the benefit of an enterprise in which all are so deeply interested. Tt would further earnestly urge the formation in each State and Territory of a centennial organiretion, which shall in time see that county associations are formed, so that when thé nations are gnthered together in 1876, each Commonwealth can view with pride the contributions she has made to the national glory. Confidently relying on the zeal and patriotism ever displayed by our people in every national undertaking, we pledge and prophecy, that the Centennial Celebration will worthily show how greatness, wealth, and intelligence, can be fostered by such institutions as those whieh have for one"hundred years blessed the peaple of the United States. ' : . JOSEPHR. HAWLEY, Pres, Lawis Warn Suita, Zem. Sec. . :

An effort i 8 being made to repeal the fish law but it will hardly prove snccessful. Sportsmen tell us that the fieh in our lakes and rivers have rapidly increased since the law was put in force, and it is desirable that this in« crease be permitted to go on until our waters are again well stocked. By the use of seines, traps and nets the lakes and rivers of the Eastern States have become almost depopulated of the various kinds of fish that once inhabited them, and furnished a large amount of natritious food for the people, and now the authorities are going to a vast expense to re-stock the waters by artificial propagation. "It has been fonnd necessary to' protect the fish by law or their total extermination is only a queetion of time. The general government is now engaged in introducing different kinds of fish into the Missis--eippi river and varlous streams of the conntry and this businese bids fair to become one of vast importance. Competent authorities estimate that more valuable food can be raised in an acre of water than on a like amount of our most productive soil, and it Is believed that the living water courses and nu- - merous pure lakes of the country will very soon become our most valued and highly prized territory; but o become thus valuable the fish mast be protected by laws which for the time may be considered oppressive to those who make fishing & fuulneu or who care nothing for gmm generations,~LaPorte

THANRKSGIVING SERMCN, Delivered In the Methodist Church, Ligonier,by - Rev. J. E. Harrls, of the Christian Denoxing- . tion, Thursday, Nov. 28, 1872, 4] exhort, therefore, that, first of all supplications, ?myern. and intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men For kings and for all that are in authority: that we may lead aquiet and peaceable life in all godiiness and honesty.” 1 Timothy, 3: 3. ; S " We meet to day to offer to God our trib‘ates of praiee and thankegiving for the rich, yaried, and many blessinga he bas bestowed upon us, , : Many grateful and ewelling hedrts will to-day offer up to heaven the feeble expressions of praize, for signal mercies gorichly bestowed during the past year. = "Tis well, at least once a year to recount our blessings as a pecople,and s Chriatiang tear away ecctarian walla, and meet 2s children of one common Father ; uniting in our prayers for peace, prosperity, and the advancement’ of the Gospel,in the hearts of the children of men, ;

! “Before our Father's throne . . " Wepour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, | Our comforis, and our cares.” . * v There arerleasons which can-be learned only by experience. If bistory speaks truthfully, nations seldom . learp lessons from any other teacher,a good one, but Hir lessons are always dear. " The history of our own nation is rich in instruction. Like all others it isa perfect illustration of the words of the wise man, “Righteousness exalteth a na’ tion, but'ein isa repruach' to any people.” Prov: 14 : 34. ~ - " Qur fathers ninety six years ago flung to the breeze the Vbanlncr of freedom, Two and a half millions of spirits determined to be free,and, trusting in the justice of their cause and the~God of heaven, for seven long years struggled( for independence. They gained it; and as the mists and smoke of the last battle ficld cleared away, the sun shone down on a nation of freemen. Freedom of speech, of the press, and the right to worship God a¢cording to the dictates of conscicnce, were among the guarantees granted to the citizen of the Unpited States. Increass of weslth and prosperity unparalleled in the histery ‘ of nations followed the American revolu- ‘ tion o :

That we shall be able to appreciate the magnitude of the blessings conferred qn our fathera, let ua recall a few facts : ~ In ap interval of & little mare than a half of a century ovr populetion increazed more than five hundred per cent. The national reveanue iu_gme\bted nearly seven hundred per cent. '}l‘he prodigious exten: eion of commerce is indicated by an increass of nearly-five hundred per cent., 1n exports and imports, and gix hundred 1n shipping. The number of post offices in creased more than one hundred foid. . In 1792 there were but 800,000 2q. miles territory in the United States. Now we have an area of 5,867,501 . miles, In 1792 there was not a mile of railroad in the United States.. In 1871 there were 53,339 miles. ’ ‘The Ameriean minister to England at & Fourth of July dinner said: “The American Republic at its birth was a puny creature, sickly, feeble, and diminutive.” It then contained two and a Lalf millions, now more thsn thirty-eight millions souls. -

The territory then 'was & margin 6f the Atlantic ; now, an immense(._continent; sweeping from sea to sea, and from the lakes to the gulf.. . Our wealth then was comparative poverty ; now our resources are exhaustless, It is stated about a century ago, Benja min Franklin, the Postmaster General of the American Colonies, appointed by the king, made hie official inspection of the principal routes ¢n his gig / 'When holding the same office under Congress, three quires of paper served as hisaccount book for two years. Now, it would take a man’ traveling by railroad at the rate of 125 miles - a day, six years to go over the routes. - The General -Post-office consumes probably more than three thousand of the largest size le s yearly. While the nation was)increasing so rapidly in wealth and pdmbers, the people, characterized byjsu#h energy and untiring action as no other nation or people ever knew, were not neglecting to culturs the mind. Everywhere the thought was inculcated that intelligence was indispensable to liberty and happiness. Schools sprang up in every neighborhood,’and a. system of public instruction adopted that placed & liberal education within the reach of the poorest in the. nation. . In fifty years the publiclibraries of the United States increased thirty-two fold. Our nohoc_al libraries 'amounted ¢to more than two million volumes. 5 e

Amidst these wonderful and unparal-. leled facts, showing the increase of our national greatness, the hearts of our peo. ple became lifted up with pride. Like Romans, in the days of Rome’s prosperity, we thought to be an American was greater than to be a king. ' ‘ The. United States have produced some of the most wonderful minds of theage. An Irish paper thusspeaks, “The greatest man of the last hundred years, take him all in all, was George Washington—an American. The greatest philosopher was Benjamin Franklin —an American. The greatest living sculptor is Hiram Powers ‘—an American. - The greatest historian is Wm. H. Prescott—an American. The greatest lexicographer Noah Webster—an American, The greatest inventors of modern times were Fanlton, Fitch, W hitney, and Morse—all Americans, " ‘The nation in its prosperity almost for‘got the source from whence comes every “good andjperfect gift.” Blavery, ingratitude, intemperance, and a general apathy and indifference to spiritual things spread among the people. Piety, godliness, and a feeling of continued gratitude and dependence upon God were almost entirely neglected or forgotten. -A general spiritual dearth was lamented by the churches everywhers before our last ferrible civil war. God judges and punishes nations (noé individuals) in this world lfm’ their wickedness. =~ -

| Moees, in - his farewell address to the | Qhiidren of Israel, describes prophetical - i' Iy, the ungratefulness of the people after taking possession of the goodly land, f which God bad given in them. He said: i (Deut. 8: 16-20), “When thou: bast eaten and art - toll, then fhou sbaft bless the P‘wad. thy God for the good land which He bath given thes. Beware that thou forget not the Lorgd thy God in not keep- : ing His commanfments and his judgmentk and higstatutes which I commani fheo this day. Lest when thou hast eaten and ert full and hast built goodly houses snd dwelt therein, and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply and thy silver, asd thy gold is multiplied and all that thon hait is multiplied, then thy heart be lifted &p snd ‘thou forgst the Lord thy God.”. - ; ot o © Jevhel fonzot Gr‘sd in their fulness. But E.ig“-m- m said, “And it shall be 1f thou do a; sl forget the Lord thy God and wabk bAer other Gods and serve them, I teatify against you tlis day that yon'qhail surely perish, As the nntinha‘whichg the Lord destroyeth before your‘fa"c:: S 0 qtl':}xl'l ye Hg:risb, because -ye would;ngt be’ pbedient unto the voice of the Lord your Gt = @¢d had forty years preserved them in the wilderness. He fed them manna trom heaven. Their garments waxed not old,nor were their feet swollen during the fortyiyears ewm]deringix:lj the wilderpess. There is in the history of this rebeliious people a.warning for all who will in ithe: bour of prosperity forget God. The words of Muses were fuifilled. For their sins

and iegmtitude God suffered them to be carried into ceptivity. - : e A nation must be righteoua to be ex’ alted, and grateful to be continnally pras. ’ pered. s Tl - Our country has passed through sad and.weary years. War bas swept away: the sors and fathers of many homes. Not ‘till the geneération living sleeps with the dead, will the memories of the past cease to cause pain in heartasaddened and embittered in the track of war, . If we assert that war is'al judgment of God, do you ask what we bad done to incur God's displeasure? | . . The Philadelphia Times, o few years since, sald : “Honesty has fled from the world; sincerity has fallen asleep ; piety ‘ has hidden herself, and justice cannet find the way;ithe helper “is not at home, and cherity lies sick ; benevolence is under arreat, and faith is nearly extinguish ed; tlie virtues go a begging, and truth hag long since been buried ; credit is turned lozy, and cosnacience-is pinned to the wall.” Doubtlessly this'iaa picture much overdrawn, yet 1t shows the views of asecular paper on the mdralsa few years ago. - L o

Another writer says: “The world—the ¥ worli—the world. This is the objedt]| which engroases every care. Thisis the | Supreme deity that igadored. Buy and sell | and get gain—out with the thought of | death—away with the judgments and ! heaven. My farma, my merchandize, I | will have them though the earth trembles | and heaven weeps blood upon my head.” The President of the Systematic Ben- : evolent Society, of Philadelphia, says: | “I¢ ia presumed that ro one will deny, that covetousness is the crying sin of our | American churches. That it is eating % out their epirituality, and ripening them | for the doom of the seven churches of Asia, It is well known that the process of accumulation among our church members % advancing at a fearful rate, amounting 1t is estimated to more than two hundred asd fifty millions annually ; and while‘ the amounts expended for amusements and luxuries are almost fabulously large, the contributions for ben-. evolent purposes are shamefully small.” ‘Wealth is power. It is not sinfal to be rich, but it increases responsibility. While the love of money is the root of all evil, money must ever be the meacs of clothing the naked, feeding the hung:y, exténding the Gospel, and the power impeling* to good works, When the love | of money:is #ostrong s to cause its possessor £o hoard It, and refuse to -use it as a power for good, or when it causes him to obtain it through dishonest means it becomes an evil. It is the love for the circulating medium which causes the evils of covetousness, dishonesty, murder, and all thatfclass of crime. Money is a blessing—a power for good—a talent.. The inordinate love ¢f it a heinous crime. | ~ Pride Hes ever been a national sin. A Bt. Louis gorrcspondent aays: “If is getting to be an immense job for a sojourner in.our large cities to find his way into the house of God. And as to the poor residents,4f the doctrine be true that there is no salvation out of the church, the poor _people are lﬁevitably lost, for they can neither hire nor buy a pew in those hundred thousand dollar churches. Gentility is getting to be- the only passpott to heaven. As the depths of aman’s purse, 80 are his chances for future glory. Coat1y paleces and magnificent temples are the fountains from which the .Gdspel at _the present day is proclaimed to the peo: ple.

The congregation recline on cushioned seats and criticise the sermon. - The man of wealth has a pew fitted up with all the modern improvements to make attendance easy. Worldly splendor paves the narrow path to hea'._ven, and dresees the christianity of the church in inviting robea” Do such things indicate trne Christianity?

. OUR MONARCHIAL TENDENCY. . The superserviceable Republicaus - who are gabbling about the e clection | ofLGr_unt for a third term are not confined to the Phillipses and Brownlows, The shameful and disgusting idea has ‘ taken hold of a large- number of men who wield a tair amount of | influence, and even newspapers of: ‘recognized E'pxominwnce are . cooing ;yinh the des potic suggestion. Tae New York Indépendent is looked upoh by Radicals as altogether a safe and teliable gaide, and here is what it says on this matter of a third term : “If his eecond term “ ghould be what we expect and earn “ estly hope it will be, and the popular ‘¢ judgment should, at the proper time, “ point to him as the best man for the « place, then fhb fact 'th:,m. he had twice ‘‘ ncceptably filled the Presidential of: “ fice would be no objection to his re; “ election for a third time.” Scarcely | a Republican paper can be found that’ earnestly grapples with and opposes this covert propesition to practically change the formn of our government. Those that epeak of it handle the matter in'such & way as .to leave the im preesion that. in cértain continge“n\cirﬁ, such a course might be wise and poiitic. In other words, if & “party necess ity” should exist there would be a sufficient é};éme for changing this, Re-. public_to a Despotism. Now, this J “party hecessity” can’ easily t;e_l bronght about, and the ‘most probable | means to be adopted to prepare the public. mind for its acceptance would be to involve thé country in war just, beforo the rext Presidential election: and then appeal to the adminieﬁratign.l party and the patriotiem of the country | by eaying a :e-é’lecti_on of the present | rulers is eseential to the preservation of’J the life of a natien. The old role of chargibg the opporition party with dis--lnfa]ty, and using the armed soldiery of of the country to tyrannize over the peo ple and preventan honest, expression of ith“ei‘r political sentiments, cc?gil(rl Le re~enacted with triumphant” success.— The bayonet couid play its part well, and military upstarts -could be found 1 ‘wha would not hesitate to perform the work of their master with alacrity.— ‘ The worst political crimes of this world have been enacted in the name ‘ of liberty. In liberty’s name Gen. | Grént could elect himself for the third: term ; he could.do so equally as well for the fourth, fifth and so on, until the people had discovered . that elections were simply a farce and they:had lost beyond recovery their powerin the control of the government. Ii woald then be an easy matter to abolizh all elections, and in the name of loyalty and patriotism, proclaim a monarchial form of government. There is greater, danger of this than the common mass of voters apprehend. Such charges are not party clap-trap, as the quotation which we make will abundantly show. There are breakers ahead, and the people will sooner or later encoanter them. .Our Republican formi of government is only an experiment, and the rigns of the times clearly point to its early failure. Unless the warning is heeded by the better and more intelligent men of the country, the political future of this country does not promise to be remarkably bright, for a change ‘in our form of government would check ‘our career of national prosperity ‘and engulf us in a sca of troubles of which Ino American can now fully understand. Our countrywould cease to be an asylum for the oppressed and down-trodden, of all nations and become a land of oppres‘gion and & prison house for the spirit of freedom. = || - ‘

The present proceedings of the Radical members of the Alabama legislature, is only an outeropping of what the/entire Radical party would, under similar eircumstances, do everywhere before giving up political power. In order to defeat the democrats, in the organization of the Legislature, the Radical members met in the U. S, Court House instead of in the Capitol, and, besides, had two of the congervative members arreated before they got to Montgomery, by a U. S.
