ORATION- Honored by tko vote of lb| ; Society of which I am a member, .a^ote grounded more an their good opinion and friendly dis position than on a correct estimate of my talents, I now appear before you as the Orator of their anniversary. In the dis- the iaint traces of*prtiMY^ .greatness -1 refinement seemed -ter vanish gs a shadow, and give place.to the m<v! riuyagfc ferefiities. Every method of instruction being nojv ne glected, every system.of improvement Tost, and the very objects to be attained by the formation of regular societies, neither felt nor understood: mail roved V like- the wild beast of the forest through the, rude scenes of nature. Thus dispersed and rambling in scattered isolated hordes over the earth, ndiile some were at length enticed to abide upon parti cular spots for the sake of convenience, and for obtaining necessary sustenance, multi tudes, blinded by all the delusive dreams of Vanity, were gathered-together upon the plains of Shinar.. Here, instead of endea vouring to advance the permanerit interests of the human race, they sacrificed millions upon the altar of vain-glory and ostentation. Yet the wise instructions of their forefathers dimly lingered on their memories. Sur rounded by anarchy and confusion, they're gretted that the lessons on® handed down had been forsaken. The j:eace they had enjoyed under the patriarcml government, was again presented to jrielv; and having experienced the unhappy consequences of wandering like the unsubdued beasts, the necessity was no doubt suggested of com bining themselves into communities, of uniting their exertions for reciprocal advan tage, and of acting in subordination to those whom they may have thought most capable of governing. Once reclaimed from the influence of sensual gratification, and brought to feel the happiness arising from social relations, the faculties of their minds were soon called into exercise for the' formation of regular plans of association and government. Thud the feeble! light of science/ after -glimmering awhile, had gone down, 1 arid left man the grovelling victim ofcpassions entailed upon him, to slumber through a long and dreary night of ignorance. But as time wore away, experience taught the necessity of a refor mation. * . Notwithstanding, however, ’there was a change in manners and customs,—notwith standing the impulse that was given to im provement, the means of information were too limited for knowledge to be immediately and universally disseminated. It was, there fore, perhaps, long confined to comparative ly few; and these, like Nimrod, monopo lized all public authority and influence. So long as a majority of the subjects were ex cluded from mental cultivation, and were immersed in the clouds of ignorance and obscurity; all measures jof political pru dence were such as flowed down a broad channel to self-aggrandizement. So long as they were enslaved by the gross wither ing effects of superstition and idolatry, so long did usurpation and despotism stalk abroad in the land. So long as intellectual cultivation was disregarded, so long did the wheels of government groan heavily upon their axes. c.. ■ ; a • It must always appear jto the philanthro pist a subject of regret, that as monarchies are among the most natural forms of go vernment in consequence of their affinity to the patriarchal institutions, they should so often have proved delusive, and have tended more to the. deterioration than the advance- ment of human happi ness. /Unfortunately,- l0ne pulse the individuals-to whom the fate of millions \vas infns< was intrusted, were pot more perfect nor more virtuous than theirfollow men; they fection, has ever been designed as a foot hold to erect others in succession. His mental and physical powers have both been engaged; the one in inventing, the other in erecting; monfllnents to perpetuate national as well as individual character. v The Egyptian pyramids, around whose , summits the destroying race of time has ‘ been run—on which the storms have spent their fury, and muttering thunders rolled for ages—yet, though the work of men’s hands, stand as firm as Ararat. To the inconsi derate, such would appear to have been the dictates of idle curiosity ; but the classic world read, m blazing characters upon their surface, ‘they occupy the soil where the mind was cultivated, where mathematics and the- alphabet originated, and govern ment was first reduced to a regular system.’ A proportional elevation of national charac ter was the consequence, and for ages Egypt was considered as the birth-place of science, and the nurse of the arts. The philosophers of Gr^ftcg M^ecpuree toJier for wisdom, and tor a long genes of years returned from her classic shores loaded with the best of all freights, that of intellectual improvement. From her juxta-positioq to Phoenicia, it was natural that this maritime country should catch, in some degree, the spirit of her neighbour, and thus be led to cultivate the same means of individual hap piness and national prosperity. From their contiguity to the Mediterranean, both were induced to cultivate, in a high degree, the arts of commerce and navigation. Man had hitherto gazed with astonishment upon the immense expanse of the deep, but dared not hazard* its perils. The howling surges rolled in mad career before him, but he fled from their approach; he panted as the hunted hmd upon the shore, or paddled his bark through the bowing willows at the water’s edge : but these bold and early adventurers having discovered the practical use of As- WlLLlAM P. REMBERT, ) . „ . were subject to the same imperfections, in consistencies and vices. Elevation did but present greater temptations; their interests were soon separated from that of the great mass. Despotism arose, and its safe con tinuance dictated the necessity of keeping their subjects in a state of intellectual and political imbecility. Hence, in almost every charge of this duty Lshall have need of all j age, nations have been handed over, like the indulgence in your'^ower to grant me, j trembling victims, from tyrant to tyrant whilst I propose to consider the effects'of Instead of the influence-of enlightened rea son, tlie sword, the rack, and the faggot were used to cany conviction to, and ex port allegiance from unwilling and refractory minds, to the debasement of all national dignity. But as the fountain lo«g choked Dp and impeded by artificial contrivances, at last rises superior to opposition, and makes propose menial cultivation upon Government and upon National Character. 1 Intellectual improvement has always been a source of correct principles in govern ment, and the sole means of elpvating na tional character. ~ It prescribes Abe. sphere of both ruler and ruled, and harmomzeFtlie plans calculated to advance the happiness of each. While it exalts the one to & capabi lity of discharging his functions, and is the strongest of all warrants in the exercise of legitimate authority; it binds the other in a special bond of loyalty and obedience. . It inspires in every bosom the love of country, arouses public spirit, and awakens the de sire of common and social enjoyment. The annals of all mild human govern ments sanction the assertion, that * the in telligence' of their subjects was the best surety of their preservation and peaceful existence.* In the infant periods of society, when man was content to be guided by the its way over every harried, so science at length surmounted the opposing obstacles and diffused itself in every direction. As reason gradually expanded, she exn- amined the structure of government and in vestigated the sources of power; exposed the clandestine enormities of thos^ invested with authority, and finally succeeded in al leviating the oppressive and gallihg yoke of tyranny. The same instrumen/too, which w as used in liberating man from the scourges of tyranny, has ever since been instrumental- in establishing and preserving th’s natural privilege. It was intellectual.improvement , ; that sat reason upon the throne and disco- simple and-revered authority of the patri-; vered to man the extent of his rights. Thus archs, and submission w-as more the result' was government, In its very origin, while it of natuial feeling than of reflection, few or i patronised intellectual improvement,abless- no efforts were made to give their limited Jing* but a curse while it cherished, as its societies any degree of political superiority, 'best supports, the ignorance and indolence Their lawg w ere few, and gained their in- [of its subjects. Man, once the subject of fluence from sentiment rather than from; every untoward volition, aud no better than force. The authority that dictated them-a dumb piece ol’ machinery, now stands was derived from parental affection, and the; forth sensible of the dipnitv of his nature, obedience they required was an act of filial I Liberally endowed -with the capacity of im- duty. Thus supported by the most natural | provement, he seems, amid the various in- hea ?’ ?5 n °*iT 0nd fI!™ va ; ion9 ™ d reforms in hiR niora * and P«-‘effects wet^.immediatefy ibserveS. The nnrieeta , * bcal c ™dition, to weep over the decline of halfcivilizeffnations were divested of their projects of extravagant and ambtoous, his nature, and to sigh tor loneevity.^ ■ thei demoralizing customs,:|nd turned to self- nrst important call for Ins intelligence, was [cultivation. The various works and law’s he establishment of government, and a pro- j of nature were no longer viewed as an im- or in concentrating the services of all for their general happiness and' t&nquillity. 4 .4*;. jffMBBpBj * v scheme of mystery fiat dark unce* tainty : but by the »n*p&>vec! philo sophy Were found to be cAiistriWcd on u plan of the most perfect harmony, that evi dently indicated a first great cause. A spi- rit of inquiry was instilled into the mind. Passions and' feelings hitherto excited and kept alive only by an interest in a worse than savage warfare, n6w subsided, and were succeeded by such as Were more wor thy the dignity of man. Thus air immense host of artists and philosophers arose in va rious parts of Europe; and wliilst they con ferred on their respective countries invalua ble blessings, shed a bright halo of imper ishable glory around their national charac ter. *Tt was hardly to be expected that a change so great should have been unattended by some circumstances calculated to excite our regret. Freed from the monkish yoke .of superstition, and disgusted at the blind cre dulity-of their fore-fathers, the great danger to be apprehended was, that the nations should go to the opposite extreme of scepti cism. This was partially the case; but a more extended investigation into the princi ples of our moral nature, has established revelation on a firmer basis than ever, and show n its perfect consistency with the con- elusions of enlightened reason. The improvement of the mind then, was the first sure step that nations took in esta blishing regular and lasting systems ofgo vernment.It has tamed the rude savime of the wilderness, subdued his ferocious na ture, and taught him that he is a social be ing. Reason rose like the resplendent sun of the morning, and replenished the civili zed world with happiness and enjoyment The march of intelligence is now no longep harrassed by the invasion of the merciless barbarian, no longer militates with the ima ginary interests of national communities. On the contrary, by cementing the affections of all to the great bond of national union, it has imparted a strength to it that could be derived from no other source. It has con verted bJfi.d and implicit obedience into a warm and active, patriotism. \ It is only, however, in those governments tronomy, and guided by the twinkling stars [where the pure air of freedom is breathed, m the^firmament, launched their gallies. and Hiat intellectual improvement can exhibit its played, like the downy tribes around them, on the bpsom of the ocean. As the knowledge of astronomy and na vigation spread, other arts and sciences crowded in their tram. Roaming savages who had strayed to distant countries, and had forgotten their origin, were recalled to the scenes of civil life. ~ We behold Cecrops and Cadmus, with their little colonies, mov ing like glowing constellations to uncivili zed Greece, then the abode of ignorance, and letters were diffused amongst the un cultivated natives. The hunters horn ceas- sed to wind its hollow notes, the beasts of the forest were suffered to lie unmolest ed! in their recesses. The mountain <reat fearlessly bleated upon the cliff. Sports- mfenfno longer boasted their superiority in ensnaring the savage inmates of the forest. Intellectual improvement became an object of universal anxiety, and it emphatically de clared itself to be a source of correct prin ciples in government, and a sure means of elevating national character: and accord ingly, it is tft ancient Greece we must look for the most beautiful example of political confederation: an example of what go vernments can effect, which arc founded on intellectual improvement. The Amphyctio- riic council spake through the wisdom of its' delegates, and the whole republic seemed moved by the same spirit, an J to beat with pne pulse. A just feeling of national pride was infused into the breasts of all her sub- jects, and they felt an equal interest in ex alting the character of their country to the higliest pinnacle Of political fame. These, O Greece! were thy heJcyon days! and shall they not retura ? Thy manly and never tiring resistance to Turkish oppres sion, proves that the spirit of thy immortal sires has revived in the bosoms of thy sons, and gives ground,’at least to hope, that a modem era is advancing which will equal, if not eclipse the fame of- thy ancient/ days. May thy efforts, then,'terminate in wonder ful success, and thus thy classic soil be re stored to taste, to science, and the arts. Modem history illustrates in a no less for cible manner, the happy effects of mental cultivation upon government and upon ra tional character. For a long series of years, modem Europe was enveloped in trionkish ignorance and barbarism, infinitely' worse than the ignorance of the savage, as it en thralled the powers both ofmind and body, to all the horrors of a gloomy superstition. It was impossible for science to exist amid the eternal feuds and dissensions generated by the political and religious state of Eu ropean nations. She courts the seats of tranquillity and peace, and flees the scenes of tumult and slaughter. She has no rest ing place where-— “ Swords clash with swords, on horses horses rush, Man tramples mau, and nations nations crush.” It is only within a few centuries she has become the fruitful sourctf of blessings to those countries which hav6 adopted and cul tivated her. In all, at first, she met with opposition. For in governments where the care and welfare of the mass are sacrificed to the luxury of the privileged few, it was 'soon fotynd the best policy to abstract the irradiating/influence of her rays by every possible device. ' She gradually expanded, however, notwithstanding every opposition, brought with her the various comforts so necessary^!*., man, and thus forced her way to public consideration and patronage. The greatest importance. It i£ in the land where , conscience is unfettered by temporal autho* rity, and^iberty extends to every bosom, that science is. versa] in its effects, and stands as the sturdy fulcraaa ;to happiness and enjoyment. Our own country at this day presents the full scope of these qilyanA tages. Our own soil to which onh; if seems the independence of man lsvntli? That her laws might affect all eqha] should claim her,protection, the mostl trating sagacity was ''exercised. That / might be of long duration, the profounds, wisdom was employed. Though European nabobs and potentates mayilirand us with the name of an ambitious race, our, annals will tell them tjiat the assassin’s dagger nas never been found reeking.with the blood of the political officer ; that neither powder plots, nor the torch of the incendiary have ever yet threatened demolishing the walls of our capitol: frantic and infuriate mobs out of employment, have not of late rent the air with midnight yells. Though some of our own politicaTpro j^Kets have already seen the line of demarcation consequent to a divided union, we are ^disposed to think that, as the means of communication both by land and water are facilitated and increased, northem- and southern/eastern and, western interests wjrf'be but the more intimately connected* and of course the general union more firmly established. If there are collisions of sen timent, it does not argue a diversity of opi nion as tothe vital principles of government- Nor do sectional jealousies indicate an en feebled patriotis m. Let any'oilier po wer interfere, and he will soon find ihat these unworthy feebngs are changed t^an univer sal burst of patriotism, in defence of those laws which intelligence founded/and which experience has shown to be' pregnant with- invaluable, blessings. How bright and ani mating are the prospects of our country! the meanest peasant in the wilderness is en couraged to an active improvement of every faculty he possesses, by the hope of ac quiring wealth and fame. The road toeach is equally Open to himsejf as well as to others. Shall we look for any other solu tion than this, for the rapid and unexampled progress- our country has modern everything that constitutes the strength' arid prosperity of a people. Half a century ago, and the rude savage stalked in ail his native majesty over the beautiful hfiils that surround us, with nought to amuse save the twanging of the bow-string, and the song of the chase; Now are every where visible the fruits of mental cultivation, driving before it the , darkness of ignorance, and drawing in its train, industry, civilization, and refinement, If we look abroad shall wo find less cause of honest pride and national congratulation 1 We are rapidly verging in the Ostimatiou of the world, and these nations who a few years since affected to despise us, are now regarding us with admiration and astonish ment. Our soil is viewed as the land of promise, and thousand upon . thousands' stand prepared’ to leave their native spots and the scites of their, ancestors, and seek refuge, from the pressing illsref life, behind* the redoubts of our country's justice, Intel— i Kgencc, and fibc^ Fellow-Mem ' How pie contemplative past life, whi associations were renderc applied exertions fo which seem to have conspiring conveni
