FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1872.

THE FOURTH AT GRONDYKE'S GROYE.

An Immense Attendance and a Joyful Occasion.

Kemarks of Senator Morion.

THE EXCURSION.

The

glorious luminary of day dawned upon the 96th anniversary day of our National Independence, yesterday, in great brilliancy and splendor. The rain of the previous evening caused "all nature to rojoice," including patriotic human nature. As previously announced through these columns, this glorious day was appropriately observed and celebrated at Groendj ke's gorgeous grove, a point forty miles north of this city on the line of the Terre Haute & Chicago road, and in Vermillion counly.

At eight o'clock a train of twenty-five coaches and cars left the Union Depot, laden with human freight, bound to this excellent grove, to enjoy "the day we celebrate." All along,the line of track, at each station, the train stopped, and the natives, arrayed in their gorgeous holiday attire,boarded the train bound to the same objective point.

Arriving at the grove above alluded to, in due time, the train was unloaded of living freight, and ruu to Danville for an excursion party to arrive from that point.

At nine o'clock, another train left the Union Depot, this city, enroute to the grove.

This traiu, too, was well filled,

one car, the pay car of the line, containing Senator Morton and wife, General M.C.Hunter,daughter and son President Collett, the Misses Collett, Dr. Mahan a Lid daughters, Judge Powell, of Newcastle R. R. Hitt, Senator Morton's Private Secretary S. Magill and wife, the

Hon. Wm. K. Edwards, Linis A. Burnett and daughter, George Rugan, J. O. Joues, Mr. Magill,of Rockville, and a representative of the Evening GAZETTE, all under the superintendence of President Collett, of the line.

After a delightful ride over one of the smoothest new roads we have ever enjoyed the pleasure of excursing over and through country which, for agricultural richness and beauty, is excelled by no country on the continent, we arrived

AT THE GROVE,

where we found a large assemblage of the honest yeomanry of the country disporting themselves under the umbrageous shade of giant trees of many years growth. Our own party, after enjoying the full fruition of a sumptuous repast, in the car, passed out into the grove, and, having enjoyed the beauties of nature, as apparent to the eye, for a time, the Senator and several other gentlemen ascended to the platform previously prepared for# the orators of the day. Soon the ramblers through the grove began assembling and seating themselves about the platform.

About 1:30 P. M. the train which went to Danville in the morning, accompanied by Toute's Silver Cornet Band, arrived, heavily laden with the citizens of our sister city located at the northern terminus of the Terre Haute & Danville line, and of intermediate poiuts. These people, headed by the band discoursing .some soul-stirring music, marched up around the platform, swelling the number already present to vast proportions.

The band here favored the audience with more music, after which L. A. Burnett, Esq., introduced Rev. Mr. Smith, pastor of the M. E. Church at Newport, who addressed the Throne of Grace in a few appropriate words, invoking the Divine blessing on the day, the dead, and those present.

Gen. John A. Logan not having appeared, Mr. Burnett said: MY FELLOW-CITIZENS: I have the pleasure of introducing to you, Indiana's favorite son and Senator, the Hon. O. P. Morton.

Mr. Morton said: REMARKS OF SENATOR MORTON. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: I have been traveling about through the State of Indiana for some years, but it has so happeneed that I was not able to come into Vermillion county until today. I had several appointments to speak iu this county during the war, but some unforseeu circumstances always prevented. But it has been reserved for me to come here after the war, in a time of profound peace, and great prosperity find I can truly say that It gives m& great satisfaction taconote lata tUte county aud

meet with this people. Although I not before been in this county,

been intimately acquainted with many people who live here. I saw diers during the war who enlisted from this county, some of whom went to the battlefield and never returned, and I had occasion during the war to congratulate the State and the country upon the patriotic people, upon the magnanimous spirit that prevailed in this county. I think no county contributed more in men aud in patriotism, according to population, than the little county of Vermillion. If I were to indulge my feelings, fellow-citizens, I should give remi niscences in regard to the war. I see men here to-day bringing many things to my mind, which, pexhaps, it would not be proper to detail here. lam reminded that this is the 96th an* niversary of American Independence. It will soon be one hundred years since our fathers declared their separation from the mother country, and undertook to establish, through the instrumentality of a long and bloody war, an independent government, in which experiment they were gloriously successful. The second, third and fourth generations are now reaping the benefits resulting from the sacrifices they have made.

On this day ninety-six years ago, they not only proclaimed their separation from the mother couutry, and their purpose to establish a separate and independent Government, but which was of vastly greater importance, certain great principles which have worked a revolution in our own own country, and threatened to revolutionize the world and that declaration is more significant because of the principles euuuciated, than the mere fact of declaring our independence and separation from the mother country. We find these principles in the declaration We bold the truth to be self-evident, that "all men are created equal." They did not mean that all men were created equal, physically, because that would not be true that all men were created equal mentally, because that would not be true, but that all men are created equal in regard to the right. They went on to declare that "all men are endowed with certain inalienable rights," rights that cannot be sold—which men cannot deprive themselves of, according to a wellknown principle of law that a man cannot sell himself. He has no power or right to make a slave of himself. Among these rights are those of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." They weut on to declare that governments are organized for men, and not men for governments and that governments should only exist by the consent of the governed. This is the theory of our government as distinguished from that of every other government in the world.

We inherited our principles from England, yet the theory of the English government is just the reverse of ours. They did not hold that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights. The theory of English government was that all rights aud privileges descended from the Kings, that they governed by divine right hence the great magna charter was a triumph over kingly power, though it was not granted on the grounds that men had a right to enjoy the privileges of the magna charter, but on the ground that these privileges had before been granted them. Our English ancestors were free, but on a plan different from ours—the King made them free. Our fathers made men free and gave every man the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," and upon that foundation we have built the superstructure of our government.

At the time the declaration was made, slavery existed in every on&of the thirteen States, and it continued to exist for nearly or quite ninety years. We have only now entered upon the full realization of the doctrine proclaimed by our fathers. This shows that political ideas are of slow growth. Political revolutions may occur quickly frtftn violence, but great revolutions of ideas are the work of years. That simple idea uttered by our fathers at Independence Hull sixty-five years ago to-day, required nearly ninety years to work itself out into full practice and operation. Now, the declaration of independence is true in this country. There are no slaves, and we recognize the equal rights of all men, without regard to race, color or condition.

Mr. JefFeYson looked forward to this time, Dr. Franklin looked forward to this glorious day, and Mr. Madison looked forward to it, but they were only permitted to see it in the spirit of prophecy. It has preserved to us to enjoy the full fruition ohuman equality. And all this idea of equality and liberty, my friends, didn't work itself out peaceably. While it seemed to be going on in the mind of a majority of the people there was actually a retrogression in the mind of a part of the people of the nation. In 1777 there was not a man in the Uuited States, so far as we can now learn from history, who believed that slavery was right. The men who practiced it from 1776 down to 1818, all admitted that it was wrong, but said here it is, planted by the mother country it has got to work itself out aud go away in the natural course of events." Circumstance, however, transpired which produced a revolution in their miuds, aud in the course of twenty years they come to defend slavery, abandoning the idea of their fathers.

Many people, ten, twenty, and thirty years ago, believed seriously that God had given them the right to own slaves, just as we believe that God has given every man a right to himself, and has endowed him with inalienable rights, "among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." But these two ideas were in conflict with each other. The spirit of slavery and liberty were continually at war with each other, developing into various forms, until rebellion resulted. Though, the rebellion may have been precipitated sooner than it otherwise would have occurred, by unfortunate men aud unfortunate circumstances, |bear in mind there was this irrepressible conflict between the institutions of slavery and freedom, and that conflict had to be ended and, as it turned out, under the Providence of God, it was ended under a conflict of arms.

In I860 the cloud of rebellion appeared on the political horizon, and continued to grow larger until it covered the whole political heavens, and culminated in a storm of civic strife in 1861. I shall not enter into the history of parties, discriminating in regard to the conduct of the war, or who brought it on, but speak of it as an historical event.

In 1861 this war cioud burst over this country. What were the issues at stake? Allow me to call your attention again to 1861. Ten States had attempted to secede, and leave our Union, to form a new government. If they succeeded the Union was destroyed and no man could tell where it would stop. Some said, let the Southern States go we can get along without them we have enough States left to form a great big country, after they are gone. But wiser men- said, no, if this work of disintegration commences, you cannot stop it. If the States south of Mason and Dixon's line form a separate government you will have another one across the SierreNevadas. When the war first broke out that was my first apprehension. It was a hundred days' travel overland by wagon, across the plains and thirty days around by wator and across.

the Isthmus. There was great danger of separation from the States of Oregon and California if the Southern States separated from the Northern, not having the Pacific Railroad connection at that time. Then again, there would have been other separations. You know that there were a great many, who believed that our interests were particularly identified with the Southern States, and that if the South should go off, we must go with them and not remain with the Eastern aud (Northern States. The question then would have been, Where shall Indiana go? Shall she remain with the old Union, or go with the new one having control of the mouths of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers? So, perhaps by this time, had the rebellion succeeded, there would not have been more than ten or twelve States remaining together in one confederacy, of which we may have had three or more. Now, what would be our conditions? We can judge by looking at the condition of Europe, seeing small governments there existing, constantly at war with each other. We would be broken up and all the prospects of our country would be destroyed.

When the war broke out in 1861, aud Mr. Lincoln called on the nation for troops, and Indiana for six regiments, they were raised in ten days. Men went from this county and every other county in Indiana, who offered their lives for their country. You who did not go, can you appreciate tbe sacrifices your sous aud brothers made? You who stand here today in the enjoyment of peace and prosperity, purchased with precious lives, can you appreciate the sacrifice of those who went forth to do battle for the

country

when your sons came forward to Indianapolis and Newport to put down their names, taking their lives in their hands, offering them to free their country I thought then that I was enabled to realize the sacrifices they were making, as I made it a point as the Governor of Indiana, to ride at the head of every regiment that marched to the depot to leave for the field. On such occasions I was always filled with the sad and solemn reflection, bow many of these men may never return Afterwards, when these regiments came back, some of them had but a mere handful of men left. I marched with some returning regments from the depot, whose ranks had been depleted from one thousand to less than two hundred. Some of them were killed on the field of battle, some died of disease in camp and hospital, and others starved to death in prison pens. Oh! how much they suffered. Who can judge of their suffering How many of you lost sous and brothers Now, there is quite a crowd here to-day, and I would like to know how many persons there are in this crowd who have lost a father, brother, husband, or some relative, in the war. Will such please hold up their right hand. [A forest of hands go up.] There are those all around me who have made this sacrifice.

From first to last, Indiana sent out one hundrd aud ninety regiments, notwithstanding the fact that when the first call was issued, a newspaper said that Governor Morton could not get any six regiments for such an unholy purpose. Thousands of these men died from disease thousands were killed in battle others contracted disease from which they have never recovered. I will venture the assertion that there are meu in this county to-day whose constitutions are so shattered, that their lives will be shortened by the hardships they encountered on the field.

Though the mother who lost her son cannot be compensated the widow who lost her companion in life cannot be recompensed, tbe country has been rapidly enriched. Look around you to see our conditions of to-day. I suppose now we have 42,000,000 of population—nearly 40,000,000 when the last census was taken—nearly two years ago. If we go on at this rate, our country remaining together, for the next thirty-one years, as in the past thirty-one years, we shall have nearly one hundred millions of population in 1900.

Most of these children will live to see more than one huudred milliou people in this country of ours. Some men by whom I am surrounded will live that long.

Look at our prosperity. We have never had such prosperity before. Our couutry is growing in intelligence, wealth, influence and respectability, as it never did before.

These are some of the fruits of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of Indiana aud other States.

I understand that it is proposed to erect a monument in Terre Haute to tbe memory and in honor of the soldiers who fell in the field. Can there be a holier or higher purpose? Can you do these men too much honor, my friends? These soldiers who are living will be loved more and more the longer they live. But for the services of the living and the dead, we would now have no common country. We could not look forward, could only looK back to the glories of the past. Now, we have a glorious past, and a still more glorious future in prospect. How our revolutionary father's were loved The last one has gone to his grave. How we did follow them down to their graves after they had been so tenderly cared for by the nation. As we travel on along down the declivity of time, a similar spirit will be made manifest to the surviving soldiers of the late

war*

...

In twenty-five years there will be few left to tell the story. The little children now before me will govern this country the middle-aged men will be old men or in their graves. Thousands who took an active part in that war in one way or another, in twenty-five years will be gone. But soldiers, you will be loved and cherished more and more as time rolls on, and the proudest thing your children can say will be that their fathers took an honorable part in the war for the preservation of our common country. I love the soldier who fought under the flag of the Union. There are some people now who think it don't make very much difference which side they fought on but my friends I have not come to that point, and I don't think I ever shall. I think it makes a great deal of difference. Blood spilled for so sacred a cause as that of human freedom is hallowed blood. I thiuk the soldiers can never be rewarded it is not in the power of the nation to do it, according to the full value of their services, so far as property is concerned. Their great and chief reward must be in the love and admiration of those by whom they are surrounded.

I have spoken to you of what has been accomplished by our soldiers, what we owe to them for preserving our country, but it does not stop there. The Declaration of Independence was carried out by the blood of our citizen soldiery who shed their blood so freely on the field of battle. They have made four millions of men free who before were slaves. They now enjoy the rights of men, and we are none the worse for it. They gain while we cannot loose. In fact, we are stronger, for the colored men having been made free. They are in the enjoyment of those rights our fathers said ninety-six years ago should be accorded of all men, as designed by their great Creator. We simply executed the will our fathers made. They laid down great principles which they discovered written

TERRE HAUTE, IND.: FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 5, 1872

was reserved for the people of this generation to 'make that great prophecy a reality. Then, we have a country to-day that is united, though the wounds are not yet healed up in the South. They will be in time. In the course of twenty years, we shall be a more united and stronger people than we have ever been. The great line of demarkation between the North and the South—the institution of slavery—has been broken down. Labor iu this country is everywhere honorable. We recognize labor as being the foundation of all our institutions, a foundation upon which Republican govern- (Capture ment must stand.

Now, with such prospects before us as no other people ever had such prospects as Moses did not have when he stood on Trailer the mountain top and looked over the

Promised Laud," our duty is to the men to whom we are indebted for these great blessings.

There should be a monument in every county to commemorate the glorious deeds of our patriotic dead. Such monuments will exalt the country. When you visit the Bunker Hill monument you call to mind the memories of the revolution, and your heart swells with gratitude to the soldiers of the Revolution. So with a monument to the dead of the late war, you will feel under obligations to them and their posterity, and your love of liberty will thus be quikened. You will be thanful and proud of the country that produced such a grand army of martyrs. A more gallant army never was known. Men went from this county to the field, and displayed courage never excelled by any of ancient or modern time.

My friends, I have no prepared speech, I speak to you simply from the heart on the impulse of the moment. I am glad to see yon here to-day. I will not detain you longer. There are others here, perhaps, who will address you. I know many of you have far to go. I can ouly say that I gladly embraced this opportunity to come to Vermillion county to see its people face to face. I may never come here again. I am myself in feeble health, unable to stand to speak to you as I could have done when I made former engagements here. I am not able now and have not been for six years to speak from my chair. But if I never do come back here, and never see you again, I shall always bear in grateful remembrance the patriotism of Vermillion county. I was in a position at one time where I was made to feel the need of support, where I was made to feel grateful to those who would rally to my support. In the responsible position in which I was placed, I was brought into full contact with about two hundred thousand men, organized in the State of Indiana. I must be indulged when I express the affection I feel for the soldiers of Indiana, based on the support I received from them. All that I am, and all that I ever have been, I owe to the confidence and kindness Of the people of Indiana. Thanking you", my friends, I bid you a good afternoon. [Cheers.]

Here loud calls were made for General Hunter, who declined making any speech, because, being a candidate for the suffrages of the people of this Congressional District, it would place him in a position to be unfavorably criticised by his political opponent and because he considered it entirely an inappropriate occasion for a candidate to address his fellow-citizens.

AT THE FAIR GROUNDS.

There was a very large crowd' at the Fair Grounds yesterday—mostly from Brazil and Knightsville—to participate in and witness the peculiar games of the 'canny Scots,"and other foreigners, such as racing for the soaped pig, a novel spectacle. Another peculiar feature of this show, was a number of men blindfolded, each of whom attempted to run a wheelbarrow to a certain point. In five minutes from the time of starting, the contestants were going it wild, as well as blind, and. guided by the shoiits and of the crowd brought up at various places further from the Poi^ aimed at than they were when they stflrfc

PARIS, June 5.—The probability of an early Government crisis is absorbing the public attention here at present. Marshal McMahon has informed the members of Right in assembly, that he will not accept of any interim of the Government, nor to consent to hold the office of Chief Executive, unless the nation's wishes in the matter are consulted with through the medium of a plebiscitum. The members of Right refuse to entertain the suggestion uuder such circumstances, and this difference, it is thought, will have the effect of greatly weakening the feeling against Thiers.

A large number of militia were prostrated by the heat during the parade.

NEW YORK, July 5.—Fires in the city yesterday, were very numerous, but were nearly all extinguished before much damage was done. During the afternoon a two-story frame building at 107 Columbia street caught fire from careless use of fire works, and the stock of Key worth & Co., autioneers, was damaged to the extent of three thousand dollars. Lewis' clothing store adjoining, also caught fire, and the stock damaged about one thousand dollars. The buildings were damaged about $1,500.

Grand Oration to Horace Greeley. BOSTON, July 3.—Horace Greeley's reception by the people of the Hub, to-day, was an ovation worthy of the Presidential candidate, and of the brave populace of the old Bay State. Mr. Greeley, accompanied by a party of friends and several journalists, arrived at an early hour, by way of the Fall River steamboat line, The Coliseum was filled with between thirty ann forty thousand ladies and gentlemen. Cheer upon cheer resounded through the vast structure when Mr. Greeley entered. Between the parts of programme hundreds swarmed about honest old Horace, to get a look at him or grasp him by the hand. On two occasions during the afternoon thousands of visitors cheered lustily for the Chappaqua wood-chopper.
