The following i* the Address, delivered by

immediately after ttie leading of the
Declaration of Independence, >t Wal
nut Grove, Warren county, a copy of
which was furnished, on pressing solici
tation, by its author, and which was ex
c!ud"d last week, for the want of room.
Fell *w Citizens;
Again has the ever memorable day
dawned upon us; that day upon which
52 years ago, 55 delegates Irom 13
of these United States in Congress
assembled, dared to publish to the
world, that declaration which you
have just heard—than which a great
er monument dues not exist ot the
herculean powers of the mind of man*
Stub whs the great price set upon
Liberty by the Sages aud Patriots ol
76, that they pledged every thing
that was sacred in support of it.
And was that pi* dge idly made, or
tardily redeem d? N. Son ns the
voire of the colonies was known thro’
their rcprcsentaMves, it caused a stil
ness — mighty pause. Hut soon.
Very soon, the minds of the people
were prepared to meet this exigency.
Like the puling infant, si arcely freed
from its mothers breast, they had to
meet the storms of an infuriated pa
rent, and the bayonets of the ruthless
soldiery .-Daily increasing in strength
aud around to duty by the exh rta
timis of zealous and p Uriotic citizens,
the colonies were soon pi oed in an
attitude of defence. In different sec
tions of the country, societies were
formed, aod small companies rais and.
lull of 7.c..|, and indignant feeling to
wards the author of their numerous
ills; and enthusiasm soon transports
the mind, and ivis**s the imagination,
to a degree well suited tu their situa
tion.
At length these small bodies unite,
and form a phalanx in the common
causi; and as if deigned by Heaven, a
nan of incorruptible morals, of pure
integrity, of I .fly mind, ami real love
d‘ country—George Washington ap
pears, to lead this patriotic band, to
death or victory! From victory to
deft at, and from defeat to victory,
they pursue their course, firm and
steadily, relying for sue ess upon the
Rules of events and tbo justness of
tli ir t ause.
Sometimes a cloud of gloom would
pervade the cause of lib Tty. and de
spondency almost size upon it-* Vota
ries: But. suddenly agb am of hope
fixes, and firmly roots itself on the
astonished little band! “What being
comes mil gloom to cheer?” Who is
that God like youth advancing, un
furling as he comes, the Banners of
Freedom? Hail thou young Hero—
Thou Philanthropist! Iris Lafayette!
And has lie bid adipu to all the gay
scenes which a splendid Court aff.nl;
to all the endearing ties of chaste
and lovely woman, and the tender off
spring of the partner of bis choice, to
espouse the cause of Liberty? Yes.
And this was a glorious epoch in the
annals id’ our Revolution, now the
spark, which- was paffly smothered,
rekindles and bursts Forth into a flame:
now the needle points unerringly to
the Pole of Liberty; and although the
little Barque is rocked to and fro by
the billows of doubt and the tempests
of corruption, at last she is s.vfely
moored info the haven of repose.
To attempt to pourtray to you the
blessings of freeedotn, and the great
advantages derived from the suc
cessful issue of the revolutionary
struggle, would in me appear pre
sumptuous; hut on the other hand, to
say something in regard to the proper
estimate we should bold them in,
might not be departing from the duty
of every Citizen.
We have a written Constitution,
one that is certainly a master piece,
and well displays the genius, the
deep research, and the wisdom of its
author. Is it not important that the
rising generation should clearly un
derstand the features of that instru
ment, that they may duly appreciate
its worth? Certainly it is! instruct
them then on this important point,
and they will guard the outposts, aud
defend the ramparts of that splendid
edifice which has been rear* and by the
blood and tresure of our Fathers,
with a fidelity worthy the descendants
of such noble sires.—Let careless
ness take hold upon the minds of the
people in regard to our Constitution
and (he laws growing out of it, aud
youp-ivetbe way for ambitious aspi
rants to grasp the li<*i ii of State,
and give a direction to aflf iirs, at once
fatal aod destructive to liberty aud
happiness.
Were it phisieally possible, (like Me.
Clay) I w mid, visit every city, town,

people to beware of a Military Chief.
tain—hut to In* watchful over their
rights, to repel every innovation,
however specious in its appearance,
that tended in the smallest degree to
infringe on the well-marked bouiidery
of our Constitution, and be careful
that custom did not < reep in and es
tablish its* If as an heir apparent t >
th** rightful Sovereign. Then as Mr.
J* ir*rson emphatically observes, that
all men are endowed by their Crea
tor, with certain unalienable right-;
that among these are life, liberty and
the persuit of happiness—how teua
cions should we he in watching with
more than guardian care, over those,
inestimable rights arid privilodgcs, sy
cured to us by our forefathers. /
Soon, very soon, will \ve have t
consult printed history, as the ‘times
that tried men’s soul's; and lose that
oral history, whi* h delights the soul
and enlightens the understanding; foi
these venerable and lofty mind-d me*
of 76, have most of them taken their
flight from all earthly scenes, and
‘gone to that bourne, from whence,
rtlas, no traveller e’re returns.’ On
ly one of the signers of the declaration
now remain—tlm venerable Charles
Carroll of Maryland, who yet lives t*.
see the great and powerful growth of
the Rcpublick, wbi h lie and his com
peers so nobly defended by their
words and actions: and to see in the
successful tide of operation those in
siiiutions, which are calculated by
tlieir harmonious nperati ns to bind
the American people together as one
family; mid raise from a state of in
tellectual degradation, the sons and
daughters of a hardy, industrious and
enterprising yeomanry, a.id prepare
them to (ill the various stations whi. b
a well regulated society require of
them.
By a reference to the Sacred Vol
ume, we will discover that the ode
bration of certain days, is n t a uov
el thing. For 510 years before (he
bii'ih of Christ, hi the reign of King
Airtsuerus, the Jews experienced a
signal deliverance from the averi
cious and blood thirsty schemes of II -
m in; and believing it to be a display !
of Divine goodness, they set apart the
14lli and 15th days of the month A
d ir, to he days of rejoicing and
thanksgiving, yearly and every year.
—This is only one instance of num
bers I could refer you to—Then should
we, after our emancipation from
a foreign yoke, remain with insensible
apathy? Should we not oil this day
call to mind, the pledge of our Fa
thers, when on the 4tl of July 1776,
with a unanimous and solemn appeal
to Heaven, they pledged their lives,
their fortunes and their sat red hon
our, that with Divine assistance their
posterity should be tree; Their
pledge is redeemed. Ameri ais free.
Her Eagle now soars independently
and triumphantly on every sea, and
through every clime, and while she
offers friendship and peace with the
one hand, with the other she declares
that we are not defenceless bnt that
we will protect ourselves from insult,
and chastise invasion.
Then let us ever keep this memora
ble day in remembrance. Let our
demonstrations of joy, flow gently,
but unerringly to the Author of the
blessings we enjoy;—The over-right
eous may tax us with idolizing Wash
ington and his Coinpeers in the Cab
inet and the field; hut the conscious
rectitude aud purity of our hearts
J disclaim it. We do revere them for
j their mighty deeds of wisdom aud val
j or but we believe that the uuseeu hand
of a God, was their succour and their
safety.
Since the Revolution, America
stands uuparrali lied in Che history of
toe, world, for increase of population.
Holding out so many inducements to
the oppressed of every country, em
igrants from most countries, aud par
ticularly Europe have flown to the
Assy In ii which she affords. The
arts and sciences, have been encour
aged, and now flourish and present to
the lover of literature and inechan
i* ks, a treat little inferior to the days
of Grecian excellence.
Aud now for these innumerable
priviledges aod great blessings, let
our hearts be filled with gratitude to
the Author of them. Let us cherish
them as a bequest of inestimable val
ue; and leave to posterity the strong
evidence of our attachment to the in
stitutions which have been founded
by the wisdom, justice and modera
tion of departed worthies; and teach
them pra* tically the watchwords,
“GoiLiud our Country.”

A M ‘THEtt*S GRAVE.
The f-hrine where gentle woman kneels
To drop the t ar of filial love,
VVh*-e her ang-dic heart reveals,
The ray that beams from realms above.
The proud su(ft of man may some
times betid, hi the agony of affliction,
>ver the fresh sod which em loses the
•■artbly remains of a d-’par ted rela
tive, and for a time, the hallowed spot
is endeared to his memory, by the re
collection of mmy fond mementos i*C
filial affection and tender parental
are. Rut these only soften, f>r a
imp, his stern and unbending nature;
liangc *(f scenery aud the necessary
intercourse which his habits require,
to p *S4 through the thorny path of life,
soon dissipate his rec<d! *cti >ns, & the
hallowed spot where rest, the remains
e* on of ihe once lte|i>v-d patent, whit
tenderly nursed his infant years, may
bo f rg ift mi, amid the hollow hearted
inter ourse of a sordid world.
But it is not so with woman, from
fiie earliest moment when the tender
lisp of inf nry pronounces the endear
ing title which gladdens a mother's
heart, the cherub < Ii gs to her knee,
as tin* protective shrine of all its irt
f uitile fears, and rest on her bosom,
to stil! its throbbing pulsations at the
Approach of danger—"tis there the
tie is formed width nothing hut ..death
can sever. The budding of it fancy
and the blooming of youthful ye as,
all nurtured form the3ama tender bo
som, render the heart ever alive to
the filial impulse, and if (lie, cold hand
of death should pereliance- sever the
brittle thread whi h binds the mater
nal bos mi, nothing can i r a moment
obeliterat* and recollections nor erase its
ever lively impressions.
These reflections call to mind, a
little incident which occurred within
my observation a short time since. I
was passing a f w days with a friend,
in a distant part of the country, when
one so e moonlight tvenieg, in the
mouth of Mv, l if; the, house, to
ramble alone in rhe and lightful shrub
bery whi* h environed the vieiriify of
his residence. The spring flowers
had red yet entirely fall* ii from their
parent stems, ard their nearly depart**
ing season, yet left a few fine bloom
ing wild roses det k the hedges
which encompassed the church yard.
The dews of evening were now falling
on these sweet fi wers, and as the
pearly drop reflected mildly in the
moonbeams, a grateful fragrance
sweetened the air around, whose
agreeable odour, shed its mild influ
ence oer the senses in a halo of plea
sure, which none can feel but those
who contemplate these beauties of na
ture, as her fairest work given to
man, as an emblem of their own hea
venly origin.
