| MR, EVERETT'’S ORATION.
| The second centennial anniversary ol'i
the settlement of Charlestown, Mass, was
‘celebrated there on Monday, June ‘2B.——,
A procession was formed at the Town
Hall at 1 o’clock, sand escorted by lhcl
fl,ight Infantry of Capt. Pritchard, to,
Massachusetts Hall, where upwards of‘
200 citizens dined together. An oblig
ing friend has giving us the following ac-i
count of the meeting,and of Mr, Everett’s
Oration. '
‘[l The large place of worship was filled
‘at an carly 'mur. The gn“mion were
thronged with ladies. The services were
"commenced by singing the beantiful and
well-known hymn—“ Pilgrim Fathers,”
by Mrs, Hemans, The Chaplain on
the occasion was the Rev, Henry .lnrk-}
~son, Pastor of the Baptist Church, whose'
address to the throne of Grace was fer
vent and comprehensive: the Hymn by
Rev. John Pierpont was truly beautiful,
and its annunciation by Rev. Mr. Wal
ker did it no injustice,
| But the Oration—of that it is diflicult
to speak. It occupied one hour and fif=
ty-five minutes in the delivery. Mr.
Everett commenced his diseourse (for in
strict speaking it was a historical dis
course) by remarks upon the importance
of the day we celebrate; and referred
with pleasure to the fact, that such festi
vals were multiplying in the land. Hao
‘thought such events as the celebrations
at Plymouth, Salem, Boston, and Charles
town, important, aflfording a proper trib
ute to the memory of great and good men,
—and made some judicious observations
upon the fact, that all our American fes
tivals were the result of affectionate feel
ing.
. Mr. Everett then turned to the right
of scttlement on this Continent as found
ed on discovery—referred to the proud
‘claims of the Pope to divide the globe to
{Kings and Emperors—& noticed the re
sistunce to this presumption made by the
King of England, who claimed the right
of discovery. It was then shown that
the will of Providence clearly indicated
the population of this Continent by civil
;ich men. The orator advameed, to
‘point out how Spain and Portugal throw
themselves into the new countries, and
observed that “England, with her consti
tutional tardiness, followed at a distanee.”’
Here the audience were directed to con
sider the large grants of lands originally
made to trading companies, and how
liberal were kindly transfers when giving
what was not their own. Stress was
laid upon the importance of this cpuntry
having been colonized not by mercantile
speculators, but pious pilgrims. The
stimulus given to emigration by priestly
‘domination was pointed out in fecling
terms. Bishop \k’ron, of Norwich, was
held up in all his deeds of cruelty and
‘pride, and then dismissed to make way,
as we thought, for his betters,—Governor
'Winthrop, the founder of the Colony,
and who brought the charter,—and hon
‘'ourable mention was also made of the
Brothers Sprague’s.
| Mr. Everett expatiated onthe impor
tance of the removal of the corporation
ol'the Colony from London to America.
20th October, 1629, Jno. Winthrop waa
chosen Governor. He was a native of
Suflolk, born 12th of June, 1587, educat
‘ed a Lawyer, and was a man of such
‘gravity and worth, that at 18 he was
placed in the magistracy of the country,
to his own credit and to the public advan
tage. His family for two centuries had
been Protestant; but he believed the work
‘of reform was not completed. He lon
‘ged for a greater remove from Rome.—
He was a man of large fortune for that
“age, having an income of about £7OO
sterling per ann. The arrival of the
‘Governor and his friends at Charlestown
was pathetically depicted, and the want
of good water and other suflerings pow
il('rlillly stated, oty
’ Mr. Everett now advanced to his sec
ond point, which was to draw reflections
from his sketeh of the history of the town.
'Now the talent and genius of the gifted
‘man become apparent. His attitudes
‘ware noble; his whole soulseemed pour.d
forth, and his countenance kindled up
with animation. ke bade us think “what
we are!” T'welve millions, with literary,
social, religious, charitable institutions,
Mr. Everett here seemed pleased whilo
contrasting the little one with a thou
sand, and a small one with the strong na
tion. When the town was planted, only
‘a few Dutch at New-York; a feeblo
‘band in Virginia ; 300 at Plymouth and
Salem, and a few scattered families else
‘where—and all the rest of the continent
left to beasts and savages.
| We believe no man who heard M.
Everett will ever forget his description
of the Pilgrims’ farewell to the English
Mother Church, He said they loved
her, but left her, as a dutiful son quits’ a
severe parent, and did not like to dwell
on her faults, any more than a man of
taste when gazing on St. Peter’s and the
lofty dome, would turn to express dissat
isfaetion with the flaws of the stone and
‘marble of the building.
| Mr. Evercit now advanced to point ont
the difficulty of the undertaking, and
how few men would have dared the en
terprise. He showed how the political
economist would have derided the men,
who should leave their broad ‘acres for a
‘wood; how the capitalist would langh at
giving up gold guineas for a wilderness,
and how that great enemy of all great
undertakings, common sense, would have
said, “Stay at home!”—He said, if a
man now should, for the seme reasons,
talk of quitting New-England, and go to
the mouth of f)nluml)in River, or an ls-
Jdand in the Pacitic, his friends would
say, “Better go and obtain a gettlement
in a certain mansion founded by charity,
a little way from Lechmere Point.”
| Here the worthy defender of our poor
' Aborignes took up their case, and said,
things had happened which mnst be de
‘plored; but he gloried in the thonght, that
i founding this Commonwealth, there
o NO. 150
