The following extract from the Oration of
Mr.. Everett, delivered at Cambridge, on the
anniversary, breathes the same noble and
worthy spirit as was exhibited by him on
the floor Of Congress last winter, when plead
ing for the few remaining heroes OF the rev.
olution.


"Let us not forget on the return of this
eventful day, the men who, when the con-
flict of counsel was over. stood forward in
that of arms. Let me not, by family endea-
vouring to sketch, do deep injustice to the
story Of their exploits. The efforts of lite
would scarcely suffice to paint out this pic
ture, in all its mingled colours OF sublimlty
and woe, of agony and triumph. But the
age of commemoration is at hand.-lhe
voice of our fathers blood begins to cry to
US from beneath the soil which it moisten-
ed. Time is bringing forward, in their
proper relief, the men and the deeds OF that
| high. soued pay. The generation OF con-
temporary wcrthies is gone; the crowd of
the unsignalzed great and good disappears ;
and the leaders in war as we'll as in counsel,
are seen, in fancy's eye, to take their stands
on the mount of emembrance.-They come
4 from the embattled cliffs of Abraham; they
start from the heaving sods OF Bunker's
Hill they gather from the blazing line OF
Saratopa and Yorktown; from the blood
dyea waters of the Brandywine; from the
dreary SHOWS of Valley Forge, and all the
hard fought fields of the war. With all
their wounds and with all their honors they
rise, and plead with us for their brethern
who survive, and bid US show our gratitude,
not by sounding words, but by stretching
out the strong arms of our country's pros
perty to help the veteran survivors gently
down to their graves"
