then Spuukur of tho House of licpro

I'luus having been adopted, tho so

and at tbo expiration of six years, in
1861, the inoiiuinuiit hud reached tbo

rivll wsn, wo are to-day mora closely
heart of tho Chines child at his moth
or' knee ; but when that child is plac
ed in the care of the publio teacher, to
this reverence for parents and super
iors is added as the first essential a
strict course of moral culture, which
places tbe- Chinese citizon aa found in
his native country on a level to which
by no means overy one in this cnliirht-
onod itopublio can aspiro. If there is
one thing demanded Iherelore above
others , in our school systems it is tb
higher degree of moral culture; it is
mat t tie lives oi our Illustrious men
shall bo held up beloro tho youth of
our country ior emulation. And this
was never more true than it is to-day,
when corruption creeps into high places
and men holding offices ot high publio
trust are found unfaithful ; nevor more
important than it ta to-day, when tb
sacred obligations of the official oatb
are forgotten and the indiscretion and
criminal acts or publio ottlcials cauje
th nation to hang its head io shame
at tbe deeds of those whom it ha
made its trusted publio servants. On
this account,' also, would I therefore
havo this monument hastened to an
early completion, tbat the youth of
our land might not fail to study the
character of the great aod good men
wno laid tbe loundation ot this Gov
ernment, aud tbat, studying these
characters and tbe principles of moral
ity of which they are the outcrowth
aud upon which tbey are based as the
superstructure npon iu foundation,
their own oharaoter may be so estab
lished and their own lives be so shaped
that tbe future shall know them a
fully coming up to tb high Jefferso-
nian standard ol honesty, inteirritv.
and faithfulness. I can conceive of no
higher compliment than tbe iuoVment
of the nation that its servants have
been conscientiously faithful to their
trust; and 1 would permit no occasion
to pass unheeded of making publio
recognition of tbe wis deeds ot creat
and good moo ; nor, on the other hand,
can I picture to my mind a docpor
degradation than is his who falls W
cause of his unfaithfulness in the dis
cbarge ot those public duties which
are the attendants of the public posi
tion to which he was exalted. Let us
therefore not fail in our duty to dace
before our youth, as a permanent me
morial wherever it ia possible, monu
monts to tho virtues of the groat and
good of our land. Generations to fol
low will reverence the memory of
those who have not only been men of
virtue in themsclvos, but wbo have
also not failod to pay tribute to tbe
virtues of the great and good of the
past
1 claim, too, tbat it is th duty of
every American citisen to inculcate in
tho hearts of his conntrvmen. and ea.
pecially in the heart of his own chil
dren, a love tor our country, her insti
tutions, and her men. Let patriotism
be instilled into the hearts of our chil
dren ; let them learn to reverenoe and
look up to tbe Government which pro
tects them ; let them feel that npon
them will devolve duties in the future
in protecting our institutions, and the
oouutry ia safe against encroachments
from without and dissentions from
within. Already have foreign nations
learned to regard us as s model fienub-
lio, and, Ihoueh trite, it is none the
loss truo that the oppressed and down
trodden of the world have learned to
look to America as an asylum and a
refuge. The last two decades have
wituessed the grand spectacle of pow
erful foreign nations sending their
highest and most intelligent officials to
our shores to study our principles of
government and witness their applica
tion. Fven China and Japan, our an
tipodes, have sent to us from the ends
ot the earth th youth of their highest
lamines to oe instructed in our institu
tions of learning. But not alono have
our institutions and principles of gov
rnment been studied by foreign pow
ers ; they liave also been corned, and
republics have sprung up and flourish
ed wherever these principles have been
tried. Switzerland, in ber Alpine fast
nesses, defying tho great powers of

of counties heroes and scholars; pow
erful France, that gave us Lafayette
in tbe Revolution : and far-off Jnn.n
little but powerful and ant to learn,
have all looked to os and in a measure
copied our example. Nor have we yet
reached tho pinnacle of our glory and
greatness. Th great Jefferson, ap
prehensive that tbe tascinationa of Ku
ropo might prove too great a tempta
tion to tbe now .Republic, hoped that
an "ocean of fire" might roll between
the Old World and the New. There
may have been causa for this anxiety,
but, if so, it exists no longer. It is the
New World that now wields the influ-
euce upon the Old. It is too much to
bone that year by year this influence
shall grow stronger?
uut while our example as a frovern-
mont is bearing rich fruits beyond tho
seas, lot us not forget tbe debts we owe
to those of tbe past whose blood ce
mented the links that bindTus togethor
as a nation. Lot us nover forgot that
had not brave hearts and strong hands
guided the helm of state in the infancy
ol the iiepu blio, we must havo drifted
into nttor and hopeless anarchy. We
are too prone in th days of our afflu
ence and powor to forgot that it is not
to ourselves we owe our greatness, but
ratbor to those who a hundred years
ago laid broad and deep and strong
the foundations for this grand and
powerful superstructure reared for tho
American people.
