added many fine rooms for families, as well as for
persons without families. He also assures those that
are pleased to call at’bis old established Hotel that
the best of every thing that the country affords shall
be provi ed for their accommodation, and renews

THE FLOWERS OF GOD.
BY BEV. JAMKB GILBGRNB LYONS, LL.D.
“Consider the Itbes of the field.”
The welcome flowers are blossoming.
In j-yous troops reveal'd
They lilt thrir dewy buds and bells
In girden *t and field ;
They lurk in every sunless path
Where forest children tread ;
They dot. lr»e st*r*, the sacred turf,
Which lies above the dead.
They srort with every playful wind,
That stirs the bloomin/ trees,
And augh on-very fragrant bush,
AH lull of t< it ng bees
Fr< m the sreen marge of lake and stream,
Fte.~h vale and mountain sod,
They look in gentk glory forth
The pure sweet flowers of God.
They with genial airs and skies,
In sun mer’s golden prime,
And to the stricken world give back
Lost Eden’s blis.-fu clime,
Outshining So'omoatLey come,
And go lull soon away,
But yet, I ke him, they meekly breathe
True wisdom v bile they stay,
“If God ” they whisper, “smiles ou us,
And bids us bloom and shine,
Does He not mark, oh faitb'ess man 1
Each wirh and want of thine?

The t lest of human birth,

Tne steps were densely occupied—a’ most

were accorded a gallant precedence. In front
were the President cf the United States and
other distinguished audriors, the Orator of the
Diy (Mr Webster) and ihe high olficqrs of
tne Misonic Fr. ternity. Below, inhie front
ol the Capitol, were housands of human be

of t e building waved the national flag ane

My Masonic Bbethbex: I rise to address
you on this occasion, deeply oppressed With the
CKCuinatames which sui round me.
Standing a j 1 do, in the presence of some of
the most cxaiied men of this nation, and to be
followed as 1 am to be, by one admitted by all as
emphiticahy the orator of his time, and of whom
1 can truly say, “He it is who, coming after me,
is prclerred before me, whose shoe’s iatchet I a n
not worthy to unloose,” you will beiiuve me
guilty o’ no affectation when I say Heel a difli
dence which is to me unusual.
dull, as you Grand x \la?ter, I have a duty to
perform, and 1 shrink from no duty, under any
circumstances. As has been the custom of our
revered On er, on such occasions, I shall pro
ceed, briefly, to address you.
1 am unable to conceive us a more interesting
occasion than this, upon wh.ch we are here as
sembled, on this anniversary of the birthday of
American Freedom,
Here we are—the proud dome of our own
Capitol towering above us—assembled together
from the North and the booth, from the East
and the Wes:, to perform a > uty indicative, in
itself, of the growth ai d prosperity us this mighty
na ion.
On the ISth day of September, 1793, was laid,
by George A'asUugtuii, P.esident of me United
.•Stales and Giaud Master us Masons, at least on
that occasion, the corner-stone us the magnifi
cent e .il.ee before us.
It was, doubtless, supposed that, when c' mple
te J, according tu the plun then adopted, it would
be of ample di ne.hsions io accommodate all the
wants us the people oy whom it was to be erect
ed for ages then to come.
Fifty eight years have elapsed, and in that
comparatively uric! space in me ages of govern
ments, we a r e called upon to a semb.e here
and lay the corner stunu ol an additional edifice,
which shall hereafter lower up, resting firmly on
the strut g foundation this day planted, adding
beauty and magnitude to the People’s house,
and illustrating io the wor d me firm foundation
tn the People’s hear is of the principles of freedom
and ihe rapid growth of those principles on this
Western Continent.
Yes, my brethren, s’anding here, where, fifty
eight years Washington s ood, c othvd in
the same Masonic regalia that he then wore,
using ihe denticii gave! that ha used, we h ive
ass sied in h.ylng th- ioundation of a new Cap
itol of these Un.ted States tins day. as Solomon
ut old laid the foundation of the t> mp'e of the
living God 1 “ Now, therefore,” says the his
torian Justphus, “lhekiig aid the foundation
ot the temple very deep in the ground, and the
mat nal were strong stones, and such as would
ns.st the force <4 time;” and we. following mis
sublime example, have la d here, deep in the
ground, and ui string stones that we trust will
legist the force ui lime, the foundations of a
hou-e wherein we hope for lengthened years ihe
representatives of a rniuhty people shall legis
late fur the giory, the nap; muss, and ihe good of
that people!
VS lien mu come’stone of the edifice be lore
us was lai f; in 1793, the Government was justly
considered an experiment, and the j reUcifon
was agaiJArtd maa*, by th whu. thunk
God, tun'iVdrbjbi wiauHe prophets that ft
would tail; '’the wish wvs,” doubtless, ■•lather
to the thought .” but it did not lai. I The first
census ol me United States,in 1791, exh? iteu
a p pu alion oi tiian four ihions ui soul ;
at uie .line ol isyum that coi er stone (here were
probably, someth ng over lour millions; and now,
m less than sixty' years, the number has in
creased to upwards ot twenty mil.ions ! The
predivtionsui la.lure, by the false prophets, have
ihemse.Ves utterly fulled, w hiie the prayer has
uuen uiiswcied and the proph cy fulfilled wh ch
Washington made on assuming the duties of
President, on me 30th ol April, 1789. He then
uttered up his fun ent sti|>phc. ions to mat Al
imghiy Being wno rules uvo r the Universe, who
pitoidcs m ihe councils ol natiot s, and w hose
provi iuiiiia ai is can supp y every human delect,

selves lur these' css< nii.nl purpodin ; and wou d
enable every instrument emplu edin its adndn
isiiaiioii to < xecute with success the lunciiuns
allotted to his cnarge.
Theearoi the Almighty was opened to that
prayer, it was r-cuidtd in Heaven; and from
vVdSiiiiigton down to the pres-nt President ol
the United btdtcs, who so worthi.y, and with so
much d gmty and honor, fil s the pr ud station
that vVaatimgiuH tilled, it has been an wcred,
a id every instrument employed in ihe admins
tration vi <his Guv_riimcnl has exueu cd with
success mu luudiuns allotted io this charge.
Alter .ins supp.icatim to the Must High,
Vvasningtun expres-td his conviction “that th>
fuunda runs ui uur nan mal pu icy will be laid in
the pure and imu.u able puuci les of private
morality, and Hie pre eminence of a frae govern
ment be exemplified by ail the attributes" which
can win me aiieuiiuns ol ilscnuens, and com
mand me respect of the world.”
“1 dwell,” said be, “on t is prospect with ev
ery satistiu tiun which an ardent love of my
c u itry tan inspire ; since there is no truth
mure thoroughly established than that there ex
lots in the economy and course of nature an m
d.ifouiu le union between virtue and happiness,
between duty and adv »nt ige, between he genu

ny ui the repuoiicaii model of government, are
justly considered as aetply, peruaps as finally

of me AmciKan people.”
Tt.is prophecy has been fu.filled. “ The foun

having b:en regarded, the propitious smilesi of
Heaven have beamed upon ••the American peo

trusted. Prophec) has become fact, hope has
become fruition, and the experiment on which
the destiny ot our republican model ot gov
ernment was deeply and finally staked, has
been entirely successful.
But, my orethien, we must for a moment re

i mr. Webster’s oration.
The Hon. Daniel Webster then rose and was
greeted by the assembled multitude in the most
■ enthusiastic m inner, for which he returned his
- acknowledgments. As soon as the hearty and
vociferous shouts of the multitude had some
what suosided, Air. Webster proceeded to deliver
the oration ot the day. To say that it was re
plete with those patriotic an ’ majestic thoughts,
and bold, nervous, and beautiful expressions to
which no one cm give utterance with greater
force and originality, is but to say v. hit every
one expected of the distinguished orator.
The exordium was beautilul, und many of
the intermediate portions, as well as the con
clusion of th oration, were loudly applauded ;
and the honorab.e Secretary received the con-
L’ratuladons of his friends immediately around
him.
We withhold ’he publication of ’he oration, at
the request ot Mr. Webster, whj wishes it to un
dergo his revision.
BKMEDICTION AND SALUTE.
A benediction was pronounced by ihe Rev. Mr.
Hili.
A salute of thirty-one guns was then fired,
and, amid these deafening intonations, was
heard the music oi the bands blended in remark
able contrast.
THE CLOSE.
The military and ihe civic associations hurried
ly formed in line, and, together with the assem
bled thousands, left the .-cene which had been
o them si attractive and productive of such
patriotic emotion.
Tne visiting military were subsequently enter
tained at tiie National Hotel by the three volun
teer companies us this city.
1 he visiting Temperance order partook of the
hospitalities of their brethern of this city at ihe
E street Temperance Hall.
The best possible order was preserved through
out the dav, and this may be attributed to the
admirable arrangements of the Al irshal of the
1 hstrict of Columbia. We heard of no accident
nor unpleasant proceedings to mar, in the least,
the occurrences of the day, w hich must be long
remembered as one of historic interest.
At night there was a grand display of fireworks
on the mall south of the President’s House,
which was witnessed by thousands of our citi
zens and visitors from abroad.
ORATION OF MR. WEBSTER,
DELIVERED JULY 4, 1831.
At the Capitol, on the cccrhloii <'f Lny
ing the Corner-stone of the Extension qf the
Capitol.
Fellow Citizens:—l congratulate you, I
give you joy, on tne reiurn cf this Anniversa
ry ; and felicitate you. also, on the more par
ricul «r purpose of which this ever-mpmorable
day has been chosen to wi ness ihe fulfilment.
Hail! all hail! I see before and around me a
mass of faces, glowing with cheerfu'ness and
patriotic pride. 1 see thousands of eyes, turn
ed towards other eyes, all sparkling with grati
fication and delight. This is the !\ew World .'
This b America! And this is Washington, the
Capital of the United Sia.es! And where
else, among the Nations, can the seat of gov
ernment be eurroun led, on any day of any
year, oy those who have more reaaon to re
joice in ’he blesrings which tney pos ess ? No
wh»-re, fellow c.tizens; assuredly, n where.
Let us, then, meet this rising sun with joy and
thanksgiving!
This is tha* day of the year which announced
to mankind the great fact of American inde
pendence This and brilliant morning
blesses our vision with another beholding ol
the Birthday of our Nation; and we see that
nation, of recent ort.in, now among the mos
considerable and powerful, and spreading over
the con inent, from sea to sea.
Among the first culonists from Europe to
this part of America, there were some, doubt
less who contemplated the distant conspq len
<*es of their undertaking, and who saw a great
futurity; but, in general, their hop s were
litui ed to ihe enjoyment t fa s.fj asylum from
tyranny, religious and civil, and to respectable
subristence, by industry and toil, A '.hick veil
hid our times from iheir view. But tne pro
gressof America, however -low, could not bu*
at length awaken genius, and attract th- atten
tion of mankind.
In the early part of the next century, Bishop
Barkely, who it will be remembered had re«i
ded for some lime in N ?woort, in Rhode Lland,
wrote hrs woJ known ‘ Verses on the Prospect
of planting A»is and Learning in America.’'
The last alarm of his ii’tl-j i’o; m se**ms to
have been produced by a high poetical inspira
tion :
“Westward the course of empire takes its way ;
The fo.n first acts already pas’,
A hfih shill the drum wrh the day ;
Time’s imbleal offspring is the last.”
This extraordinary prophecy may be consid
ered only as the result of long foresigh: and
uncummon sagacity ; of a foresight and saga
city stimulated, nevertheless, by excited feeling
and high enthusiasm So clear a vision of
what America wou’d become was not founded
on square miles, cron exis’ii.g numbers, oro>»
any vulgar tews of statistics. It w:» •
tire gl.luee «nu» f waaa gr ind
cepttoi>; strong, ardent g'owing, embracing all
time since the creation of the world, and all
regions of wh ch that world is coir posed ; ami
judging of ihe fu'nre by ju-t analogy with the
pasi. And the inimita le imagery and beauty
with which the tf'oiteht ih expressed, joined to
the conception itself, render it one o. the most
striking passages in our language.
On the day of ihe declaration of Indepen
dence our illustrious fathers p-rlormad the first
actin this dr.ain't—in act, in real ituporian ;e,
infinite!? exceeding that fur which me great
English poet invoked
“A muse of fire,
A Kingdom for a afaje, prince* to net,
And ui. mr.-hs to be lold the swcl :ng scene!”
The 51 use i spiring uur Fathers was the
GemuM oi Liberty, all on fire with a sense of
oppres-i«»n, and a re oln ion to throw it t If;
ih i whole world was the s age, and higher
characters thm princes trod it; and instead of
monarchs, countries, and nation*, and she age
eheld the swelling scene How well the
rharac ers were cast and ho w well each acted
hi« part, and wt at emo' ons the whoie perform
ance ercited, let Ibs.ory, low and hereafter,
tell.
Ata subsequent period, hut before the de
claration ot Independence, the Bis op of St.
Azaph published a Discourse, in winch the
following remarkable passages are found :
“It is difficult for man to look into the deeti
ny c f future ages; the designs oi Providence
are too and complicated, and our own
powers are too narrow to admit of much satis
faction to our cunoa ty. But, when we see
man's great and powerful causes constantly at
wo k we cannot doubt of their producing pro
portionab’e elfects.

I’his declarat on, made by most patriotic
at d resolute men, trusting in the justice of
their raise ind the protection of Heaven, and
yit made not without deep so icitude and
anxiety, has now stood for sevenfy five years,
and s;ill stands. It was sealed in blood. I
has met daggers, an I overcome them ; it has
hid enemies, and it has conquered them; it
has had detractors, and it has abashed them
all; it lai had doub ing friends but it has
cleared all doubts away ; and now, to-day,
raising its august form higher than "he clouds,
twenty millions of people contemplate it with
hallowed love, and the world beholds it, and
tbe consequences which have followed from it,
with profound admiration.
This anniversary animates, and gladdens,
and unites all American hearts On other
days of the year we may be party men, in
dulging in controversies, more or less impor

are Americans all; and all nothing but Ameri

sullen weather, and all noxious exha’a ions in
ihe minds and feelings of true Americans.
Every man's heart swells within him ; every
man’s port an 1 hearing become somewhat
more proud and lofty, as he remember* that
seven’y-five years have roled away, and that
the great inheritance of liberty is sti I his ; his,
uudnmnished and unimpaired ; his in all its
original glory ; his t» enjoy; h>s to protect;
an l bis to transmit to future generations.
Fe low cit zens : Tr is inheritance which we
eijoy to day is not only an inheritance of
liberty, but of our own peculiar American
liberty. L berty has existed in other times, in
other countries, and in other firms. There
has been a Grecian liberty, bold and power
ful, full of spirit, eloquence, and fire; a liberty
which produced multitudes of great men, and
has ransmitted one immortal name the name
of Demos h°nes, to posterity. But .‘till it was
a liberty of disconnected States, sometimes
uniud indeed, by temporary leagues ana
confederacies, but often involved in wars
between themselves. The sword of Sparta
turned i’s sharpest edge against A'hens, en
slaved her, and devastated Greece; and, in
her turn, Sparta whs compelled to bend be
fore the power ot Thebes. And la' it be ever
remembered, especially let the truth sink deep
into all American m'nds, that it was the wa.vt
of union among her several States which
finally gave the mastery of all Greece to
i’h hp of Macedon
And there his also been a Roman liberty*
a proud, amb.t’ us, domineering spirit, pro
fessing free and popular pr ncipies in Rome
i elf, b it, even in the b st days of the Repub
lie, ready to carry slavery and chains into her
provinces, and through every country over
whi?h her eagles con'd be borne. Who ever
heard of liberty in Spain, or Gaul, or Ger
many, or Bri ain in the days of Rome ?
There was none such. As the. Roman Em
pire declined, her provinces, not instructed in
the principles of free popular government,
one after another decline 1 also, and when
R<>m» herself fell in the end, all fell together
I have said, gent emen, thi: our inheri ance
is an inheritance of American liberty That
liberty is charac eristic, p- cu tar, and altogeth
er our own. N » hing like it exi*ted m for
oner nor was known in the most enlight
ened States of antiquity; wlie with us its
princip es have become iute woven into the
minds of individual men, connec ed with our
daily opinions, and o ir daily habits, until it is.
if 1 may so say, an element of social as well
as of political life; and the conseqience is,
that to whatever region an American citizen
c irries him tlf, he-takes wi h birr, fully de
veloped n his own understanding and expe
rience, our American principles and opinions,
auu becorm s ready at once, in co operation
* i h o nets, to a,>ply them to the lor nation <»(
new s. Os his, a most wonder
ful instance may be seen in the history of the
Sta e of California.
(Ju a former occasion I h*ve ventured to
remark that. * At is very d ffiual'. to esiab i?h a
free conservative Government for the equal
ol all the interests of sacety
Wnat nae Germany done ; learned Germany,
fii ler of ancient lore than a’l the world beside ?
What has Laly done ? Wnat have they done
who dwell on the epot where C cero I
They ti ve not he power of eeif government
winch a c >mmon town-meeting, with us,
possesses?” ‘Yrs, Isay, that those persons
who h*ve gone from o ir town meetings to
d g go d in Ca ih»ruia, are more fit to make a
R pub'icin Government than any body of
me-i in Germany or Italy ; because they have
learned :his one great less hi, that there is no
securi.y without law, and that under the
circa instances in which they are plac<l, where
there is no military aulhon y to cut their
throa's, there is no sovereign will but ihe will
of tie majority; that, th inf ire, if they re
main, they must submit to <hat will.’ And this
1 believe to be strictly true.
Now, fellow-citizens, if your patience will
boll out. I v ill venture, bdiore proceeding to
the more appropriate and particular d jties of
he day, to stale, in a few words what 1 ake
these American political principles in subs ace
to be. They consist, as I think, in the first
place, in the establishment ot popu ar Gov
ernments, on the basis of representation ; for
it is plain 'hat a pure democracy, lik; that
which exised in soma States of Greece, in
which every individual tiad a direct vote in
the ei.actmen* ot all laws, cann rt possibly
exist in a country of wide ex ent. This rep
resentilion is to be made as equal as circum
stance! will allow. Now, this principle of
popular represen ation. preva I ng either in all
ihe branches of Guvenueulß, or in some of
tnem, has ex ; B ed in these Bures a’inost from
ihe days of the settlemen s at Jamestown and
Pymou'h ; borrowed, no doubt, from the ex
ample of the popular branch of the BrinMi
L g sldtu-e. Tne represiiitation us the people
in Pie British House of Cumin ms was,
indeed, originally very unequal, aud is yet not
equal.
Indeed, it may be doubted whether the ap
pearance ul Kmghts and Burgesses »S9emUir>g
un the summons o the Crown, was no’ in
tended at first as an assis.ance and hiipport to
the Royal pr=roga'ive, in matters of revenue
and ;ai Hoti, rather than as a mode of ascer
tairnrg p polar opinion Nevertheless, rep
resentatiuc had a pupu ar origin, and 3 av red
more and more of the character of that origin
as it acquired, by s ow degrees, greater and
graater strength, in the actual government of
tne country In lac , the constitution of the
Houseof Commons was a farm of representa
t'on, however unequal; Dumbe/s wer* count
eI, and m.j iritiss prevailed; and wh n < ur
ancestors, acting upon this examole, in r>-
dacetl urre tqjsiity of represents ion, the
mea as-u ued a more ra'iurai and distinct
shape. At any rate, thia manner of exerc sing
popular p<>w r was familiar to our fa hers
when*they settled on this continent They

zkud the next ■ undamenial principle in our
system is, that the will of the mammy, fiirly
expressed -hruugh the means us representation,
ahi i have the force us law ; and His quite ev
ident in a country wit .out Tnmnes or Aristo
cracies or privileged castes or classes, there
can be no other foundarion to stand upon.
Aud, as the necessiry reeiili of ihe, the
third element is, that the law is lie supreme
rue fur .he government us ad. The great

on the immediate aut only of the people them

And now, fellow-citizens, I take leave of thia
part of the duty which I proposed to perform,
and once more felici'a ing you and mvself that
our eyes have seen the light of this blessed

shouts with which joyous thous-nds welcome

hat every revolving yearnha’l renew these re
joicings to the end <»f time, I proceed to address
you, shortly, upon the pnrticu'ar occasion of
our assembling here to-day.
Fellow citizens, hy the act of Congress of
30. h Seotemher, 1850, provision was made
lor the Er ension of the Cipiol, according to
such plan a* might he approved y the Presi*
den. of the United States, and the necese*rjr
sums to be expended under hit direction by
such architect as he night appoint. Tais
measure was imperatively demanded for the
use of the Legislative and Judiciary depart*
men s the public libraries, the occisional ac
commodati >n of the Chief Ex cuiive Migia
irate, and for other objects. No act of Con
gress incurring a large expenditure has re
ceived more general approbation Irorn the
people. The Pro idem has proceeded to
execute this law. He his aopruved a plan;
he has appointed an architect; and ail mings
are now ready for the commencement of the
work.
The Anniversary of Na*ional Independence
appeared to ffbrd an auspicious occasion for
laving the fbun lation-»tone of the add lienal
building The ceremony ms now been per
formed by the President himself, in the pies
ence and vise of t lis multitude. He has
thought that ths day and the occasion made a
united and imperative call for some short
address to the people here assembled; and it
is athis request that I hive appeared before
you to perform that pari of me duty wh.ch
w<is deemed incumbent on us.
B ineaih the stone is defosite.l, among other
things, a list of which will be published, the

Fellow citizens: Fifty-eightyearsago Wash

debt, just struggling into pe'it cal existence
and respectability, aud agitated by the heaving
waves which were overturning European
thrones. But even then, in many important
respects, the Government w w strong- It was
strong in Washing on’s own great character;
it was strong in tne wiwdu u an I patriotism of
other eminent public men, his p-mucal asso
ciates and fellow laborers; and it was strong
in theaffec.ionsof the people.
Since that time astonishing changes have
been wrought in the condition and prospects

In resp-c: to the gruwtn ol vVestern trade

a very vuluable address before «be Historical

In 1'32 a atearnbeat first appea.ed al <Chicago. Al
