Concoud, April 19.—Owing to the lateness of the

not thrown open to ticket-holder* until :i p, m., and
then so deuso was tho crowd surrounding it on all
sides that all those entitled to admission did not suc
ceed In effecting an entrance before 4 o’clock. Tho
programme voutemplatod thirty-four regular

curtailment. Tho table assigned to tho President

Mr, Klilol O. Oowilln treated of tha part played by

conflict inaugurated by tho patriot fathers. It in
stinctively dreaded tho dangers which must lie in

nature as between portions of the foremost commer
cial nation in the world. Yet from the outset the
cause was sustained with a whole heart nud moani by
that class which had the most to lose in tho ovoid of
failure. John Hancock and Samuel Adams were
both engaged lu mercantile pursuits, and. among
hundreds of other merchants, they slaked every

to pisco a proper value on things. Said he, when ap
proached by an emissary of the British Ministry, who
attempted tp bribe him to l>o|ray bis country; “lam
not worth buying, but, such ml am, all the treasury
of England could not pay for me.”
Mr. Oowdin next briefly sketched tho history of the
New York Chamber of Commerce, and shows'! what
part was borne by it in the War of the Uevolutlon.
The Navigation acts of Parliament weighed ujion that
Institution with peculiar force. Tbs Parliament added
humiliation lo extortion. Naval vessels acting under
tho law went insolent towards colonial vessels. They
compelled them to lower their flags in token nf hom
age, tired on them at the slightest provocation, aud
impressed their seamen whenever they chose.
The New York Chamber of Commerce was promi
nent In tbo opposition to these and various other acta
of tyrauuy which proceeded from the British Govern
ment. In those heroic daya there was but ouo stop
from theory to action. On tho hist of October, 17(15,
(ho merchants of Now York held a meeting, and re-
Hoivcd; (1) To Import no goods from England until
tbp Stamp act ho repealed, ('I) To immediately
countermand all order# scut for spring goods. (it)
To sell no goods *Olll Great Britain on commission.
Theito resolutions were signed by more than two hun
dred of the principal merchants of New York. This
determined movement was immediately followed by a
Blilsr demonstration, On (ho very nest evening,
citizens gathered la what Is now the City-iUll
l*nik, spd hung in effigy LtoiiU-Oov, Coldcn, (ha repre
sentative of filug George 111., who was lutrualvd with
tbo duty of ooforctug the BtauipccL Another party
broke oj«n the door* of bis carriage-house. «ml, draw
ing out tpe carriage, placed ld*t effigy inshio of it,
wheeled It to the Bowling Green, ImlU a bonfire Jhere,
and burned to ashes tho equipage ami effigy.
In regard to fidelity to IDs non-lmjwrlatlon policy,
under which this transaction occurred, Mr. Ihucroft
has told us that M New York clone remained perfuully
true to her ouaMomeuto, whilo (he other colonies con
tinued (p Import half a* much as before,” In fact,
for five years tho commerce of Now York was almost
wholly auH|xmdcd.
in conclusion Mr. Cuwdln said t
1 would not ovemthuate (ho service* of the mer
chants; hut posterity will never forget their zeal and
fidelity, their deeds and trials In tho perilous struggle
for personal liberty and national Independence.

MR. DANA’S ORATION. .
CONSECRATED UT THE m.OOU OF HER RONS,
.tyfrtat liltjuUth to Cl>l'<kjo TWJimiic.
LrxtNOTOS, Maas., April ID.— The following Is the
unbalance of tho oration delivered here to-day by tho
lion. Itlchard If. Dana, Jr. .Mr. Dana began with tills
sentence: “liow mysterious 1* that touch of fato (
which gives Immortality to o spot of earth—to g name.’’
Tho speaker said it was the felicity of Lexington that
she was consecrated to tho world’s use by tho blood of
her sons. It is ono of the proofs of tho inflnlto
superiority of spirit ever matter, that this Immor
tality of a name la not tho accidental dropping of a
material force. It Is the conscience, the will of man,
that clothes with endless life tho spot of earth, and
forma Us syllables into immortal speech. That spoils
consecrate to fame or infamy on which the human
spirit has done some great act for good or evil. And,
of all the good deeds that men nmy do for their race,
there is none that speak* to tho heart Ilka voluntary
sacrifice. It is not the blood of warriors, but
TUB BLOOD OK UAUTYItH,
that Is the seed of the Church. It i.i written in tho
very constitution of hrfiuan nature, that without tho
shedding of hlou<| there is no remission of tbo bonds
end penalties which tho pride or tho lusts of men have
laid upon even tho most innocent. It Is not so much
tho held of over Jo Just a'lattlc, as It Is Iho block, Iho
icaffold, tho burning fagots, tho cross, of voluntary
intelligent sacrifice, which speak most effectively to
the heart. Of all the voices that call to men, none so
stirs the soul as the volco of tho Hood of martyrs, call
ing from tho ground. And, of all martyrs, so It Is,
that, whether always Justly or not, It Is tho first
martyrs who are longest known, and moat widely hon
ored. Tho men of Lexington that morning wore
martyrs—intentionally and Intelligently martyrs.
Tho.-o sixty minute men were not at Lexington by ac
cident. They were not surprised there by
a visit from (ho regulars. Ou the contrary,
they assembled because ‘ Iho regulars • wore
coming. They dispersed when tho alarm was (bought
false, sad cams tog ether agan os soon os It was known
that Ihu troops were* close at hand. Were thoy there
to obstruct or resist the march of the Ilrltlsh 7 They
threwup no breastworks, however simple. They were
not posted behind stone walls or houses, or in the
thick woods that'flanked tbo highway. They Mood
alone, la lino, ou the open common, a force twelve
times their number marching upon them. Thoy were
ordered to surrender iholr arms and disperse by an
olUcor who was entitled to disarm and disperse them,
under tho now order of things, If thoy wero an armed
band unknown to tho taw. Tho regulars come out lu
part to do that very thing. If,they met any such organi
sation inarms. Our men refused to surrender their
arms, and refused to disperse. Must they not have
expected the result? Tho volley camo, amrono-quar
tcr of that llttto hand fell killed and wounded. They
fell where thoy stood, their armn In Ihclr hands. Thoy
wero powerless to resist, but thoy would not obey.
They (ell willing victims, martyrs by intention and la
act.
A FREE PEOPLE.
Continuing, Mr. Dana said It wait a mistake common
among European writers, which in time may affect
new generations hero, to supposo I oat the people
of Mantiactuuuttfl In 1773 were striking out fur new
liberties and privileges to which they thought them*
solves entitled.’ bathing of (he kind is true. We
broke no bonds. Wo were never bound. We were
free born. Wo grew tin In boms rule, not only as
sgainst Great Britain, but as among ourselves. Wo
3 row up a territorial democracy of nflulaters, lawyers,
odors, merchants, yoemcn, traders, moohnutes, and
seamen, all or nearly all being email proprietors of
laud. We were educated to the responsibilities, du
ties, end burdens of self-government, and knew
that there was no Iltarty without snorlrtces.
In the (own government and in the provincial govern
ment we were free, in abort, we had boon for five
generations the freest, most self-governing people tbe
world bad over known.
TAXATION WITHOUT EEPUKHENTATION.
In an evil hour tbe pride, jealousy, and greed of the
mother country eetiu oyo npoqtbo colonics for Im*
portal taxation. Wo denied tbe right. Burke wpuld
not argue tbe abstract question of right, but on
uruunus of expediency be opposed the imposition of
taxes upon the colonics without representation in tho
Imperial I’arlUmoul. But the Stamp act, the tea tax,
tho Boston Tort bill, and the llcetruluing acts follow
ed aach other In quick succession.
TUB FATAL BLOW AT OUB LIDBRTIBfI.
Dad as war? Iba well-known measures, aud danger
ous to peace and liberty, it was not they that aimed tho
fatal blow at ouraccnslumod rights and liberties. This
really proceeded from (be acts of 17J1, gcuorally known
as the Regulation acts, which wore radical and revo
lutionary. They pent to (be foundations of our pub
lic system, end sought to reconstruct It ftam the base
on u theory of parliamentary omnipotence and Kingly
sovereignty. What wore these
iißcoNirrnucTioN acts of 1771?
The ICuuucllurs had been chosen by tbo people,
through their representatives. Dytho now law tfioy
were to be appointed by the Klqg, and to hold at his
pleasure. The superior Judaea wore to hold at the
will of the King, and to bo dependent upon his will
for the amount and payment of their salaries; aud
(ho Inferior Judges to bo removable by tbo Royal Gov
ernor nthlu discretion, be himself holding at (be
King’s will. The Sheriffs wore to be appointed by tbo
Royal Governor, and to hold at hie will. Tho Juries
bud selected by the Inhabitants of tbe towns;
They were now to bo selected by (bo new Sheriffs,
mere erraturcs of tho Royal Governor. Offenders
against the peace, slid again*! tbo Uvea aud persons eff
bur people, had been tried hero by our courts aud
Juries; and In the memorable case of (ho soldiers’
trial for tho firlugof March, 1770. we had proved our
selves cspablu of doing Justice to our enemies. Dy
tbo new act, persons charged with capital crimes,
oud Royal officers, cjvll or military, charged
with offepaes l|i tho execution uf tho Royal
laws or warrants, could be transferred for trial to En
gland, or (o soma other of the Colonies. But tho
deepest-reaching provision of tbo acts was that aimed
at tue town-meetings. They word no longer .la be
parliaments of freemen to discuss matters of pntiliu
Interest, to Instruct tbeir representatives, and look to
the redress of grievances. They wore prohibited, ex
cept the two annual meetings of March aud May, oud
w«a then only to elect officers; and no other meet
ings could ho held unless by tbn written permission of
tho Royal Governor; aud uo matters could bo consid
ered tmlosi specially sanctioned In tbe permission.
Kor were those acts mefo declarations. They wore to
be eufnrced, and at ouce, and absolutely, Tito mili
tary acts provided for quartering the troopa upon tho
towns, la February, resolution of Parlia
ment declared Massachlfflclts in rebellion, end
piedgud’the Uves aud property of Englishmen to Us
suppression. This resolution amounted to a declara
tion of war.
W8 WERE NOT THR lIEVOr.UTIONJSTS.
The King and Parliament wore the rovolutionlate.
They ware thuritllcal Innovators. We were the con*
aeryoloraof exlatlug institutions. They were aoeklng
to overthrow, and reconstruct on ft theory of parlia
mentary omulpoteoce. Wo stood upon the deluuaoof
what wa bad founded aud built op under their acqui
escence, aud without which we could not bo the free
aud self-governing people wo had always been. Wo
broke no cbalu. wo prepared to atrlku down auy
baud that might attempt to lay one upon us. There
won not one Institution, law, or custom, political or
social, frorq the mountain-tops to tho sca-aboro, that
We cured to change. Wo were Ihen content to go ou
as parts of tho British Umpire, holding that alack and
easy allegiance we bad always bold, ou tbo old terms
of self-government and homo rule, It was not until

Wo felt (I lit rvery breath. Them was a silence of
deadly preimrallon, and a patient awaiting of the fall

tho Provincial Congress, echoed by tho town-meetings,
enforced from the pulpits ond the pros*, and we wero

it was not merely to destroy tho military store* col
lected at Concord, but to dharm and disperse any mili
tary organizations not recognized by tho now laws, and
to arrest and commit tu prison tho leading patriots.
If they had come across a town-meeting or a congress,
held without authority of the Royal Gove rnor’s war
rant, they would have entered and dispersed the meet
ing by tho bayonet; and who will doubt that, like (bo

If wo could collect men enough to defend

was out in martial array for tho purpose of defense,
they must stand their ground and retain their arms.
If the regulars withdrew, well; if nut, the militia
must await (ho flrst volley. ’
Now, what wus all this out
A CALI. FOR MARTYRDOM ?
Tho Aral (list foil must full as martyrs. The battle

nerve, than this. Mung a man can rush Into battle,
maddened by tho scene, who would Und II hard to

ed in tbclr cause. They had studied it, discussed it lu
tho public meeting and through the press, carried It
to the Thronn of Grace, and tried It by every teal (hey
knew. They had made up their minds Jo tho issue,
ami were prepared to accept its results. When
tbo nows came, nt night, that the regu
lars were out, and marching that way to
destroy tho stores at Concord, to arrest leading pa
triots, to disperse and disarm all assembled forces,
they camo together ou this green in full ranks... They
acted under the eye aud counsel of Adaina and Han
cock, and of their own wise, venerated, patriotic pas
tor. Tho widow awaked her only sons tbs’ young
bride summoned her husbaud, tho motherless child
her father, “The regulars are out, uud something
must ho done I" Yes, something must he done. That
something wits to stuud ou the defensive* and meet
death If it came, and then meet war with war. Thu
men separated ou tho doubt as (o Iho truth of (he re

guns. Tim tlrst mosseugers scut down tho road had
been captured; and Iho groat force was moving stead
ily ou. Onn scout, more fortunate, escaped, and
spread tho alarm that tho regulars were clove at hand.
Ou the heat of drum, seine sixty came together ou tho

by Iho authority of tho people’s congress, and hearing

their alienable right, the surrender of which was (he
surrender of their liberty.
THK ISSUE INEVITABLE.
When the events of that day assumed their serious
aspect, (he litllhh sought to prove that this little band
fired first. Not only is this Improbable, nay, aboard
In Itself, and contradicted by all our testimony; hut
no Drltlab officer speaks of more than what he heard
and believed attbotlmh. As they neared Lexington,
tho report camo to them (hat someftOd men wore un

Know they wore not fired upon, aud saw tho
short, thin lino of sixty men with arms at rest.
The truth i«. tho result won inevitable. Tho first
force of that kind which tho King’s troops found in
martial array was to be disarmed and disbanded; and,
If they refused to obey, they weri'tobo fired upon.
Doth sides know (his, and wore prepared for It. it is
Inconsistent lu us, and an unworthy view of this crisis,
to treat it as a wanton and ruthless slaughter of unof
fending citizens by an armed force. It takes from tho
event its dignity ami htstorlo significance. It was no
such accidental and personal mutter. It was an affair
of State. It was the inevitable collision bolwoeu
organized forces representing antagonistic sys
tems, each a do facto body politic, claiming
authority and demanding obedience. The issue was
made up just then and Just there. If you moan to
subjugate and disarm this people, you may begin hero
and now. Of this issue, lu iho laugiisgo of (he com
mon law, they pul themselves upon tuo country. The
lirllish did the like. The-trial of that issue, in the
ircHcnceof (ho world, began with tho first volley - nu
Lexington Green, and lasted six years. Tho battlo
of the lath April began 'on this spot, and ended at
Charleston Neck. Tub war of tho Itovotutlou began
on this Common, and ended with tho kurreuder nt
Yorktown.

Mr. Dana then recounted the famllUr details of tbst
great day of Lexington, and eloaed with tbe following
brilliant peroration:
Men, women, children of Lexington, (be curtain of
(tie great drama rose here, to be acted out to the last
scene at Yorhtowu, It began with tbo lint tiro of
British troops In martial array on American troops In
martial array, and did not cud until the last Xlrttnh
soldier left tbo Boil of ibo now* Republic, and our In
dependence! was recognised. At the close of the last
century, you erected your drat monument on this
spot. Lafayette, who saw tbo surrender at Vorklown,
came, in Boplomber, 1H34, to see tbe spot where* began
the contest in which bo took so noble and disinterested
a part,and clasped hands with fourteen surviving hcrccn
of tho day. In 1835, you rdnlcrrod your heroic dead
under your simple monument, consecrated by tho elo*
? nonce of Everett, In la-73, Louis Kossuth, an exile
romllie banks of the Danube, after tbo disastrous war
far the Independence of Hungary, made a pilgrimage
to (bis pUco, to pay bis devotions, " to (he birth
place of American liberty," and said of your patriotic
dead, in words ai true an they are eloquent 1 bit is
their sacrificed blood with winch is written tbe prefscu
of your nation’s history. Their death was and over
will bo tho first bloody revolution of America’s destiny,
and Lexington tho opening seen* of a revolution that
la destined (o change Ibo cimrader of human govern
ments, and the condition of the,human race,"
Ood grant that, If a day of peril shall come, tbe
people of this Republic, 10 favored, so numerous, so
prosperous, so rich, so educated, so triumphant, may

PAUL REVERE’S RIDE,
nr nr.Nnt wAuswoßTir !,o*ofellow.
T.tslrn, my children, amt you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of i’aiil llcvcrc,
On the eighteenth day of April, in sevcnly-flrej
Hardly a man la now allvo
Who remembers that famous day and year.
He said to Ida friend: " IMho Drltisb maren
Jly land or sea from the towh 10-nlßlif,
liana a lantern aloft In the belfry arch
Of tlin North Church tower, as a signal light-*
One, If by land, and two, if hy sea;
Ami I on the opposite shore will ho
Itcudy to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm
Tor (bo country-folk to be up and arm.”
Then ho said: "Good-night I" amt with muffled ear
Hllcntly rowed to tho Charlestown shore,
Just as the moon rose over tho bay.
Where, swinging wide at her moorings, lay
The Somerset, Urltlsh man-of-war}
A phantom ship, with each most and spar
Across the moon like a prison bar,
And a lingo black hulk, that was magnified
Uy Its own rellcctlon in tho tide.
Meanwhile, Ills friend, through alley and street,
Wanders and watches with eager cars,
TUI in tho tdleiico around ho hoars
The inmter of men a} tho barrack door,
The sound of arms, mid (bo tram}) of feet,
And the measured tread of the grenadiers,
Marching down to their boat on tho abore.
Then ho climbed Iho tower of tbo Old North Church
By the wooden stairs, with stealthy tread,
To Iho belfrycharabor overhead,
And started tho pigeons from tboir perch,
On tbo sombre rafters, that round him mad*
Marses and moving shaped of shade—
By tho trembling ladder steep and tall,
To tho highest window in tbo wall,
Wiirro bo paused to listen and look down
A moment on the roofs of the (own,
And tho moonlight Mowing overall.
Beneath, in tbo churcli-yurd, lay tbo dead,
In ibelr night encampment on the bill,
Wrajiped in silence ao deep am) still
That be could bear, lllta tbe icutlnors tread,
Tho watchful nlghl-wlml, or It went
Creeping along from tent to tent,
And seeming to whisper “Allis well l M
A moment only bn feels tho spell
Of tbo place and the hour, mid the secret dread
Of Iho lonely l*lfry and Uio deed;
for suddenly all Ins thoughts are bent
On a shadowy something far nway,
Where the river widens to meet the bay**
A line of black that bends and Moats •
On tbs rising tide, liko a bridge of boats.
Meanwhile. Impatient to mount and ride,
Booted and spurred, with a heavy stride
On the opposite shore walked I’aul llevere.
Now he patted his horse's side. •
Now bo gazed at tho landscape far and gear,
Then, impetuous, stamped tbo earth.
And turned aud tightened Ids horse’s girth;
But mostly ho watched with eager search
Tho belfry-lower of tho Old North Church,
As It roso above tho graves on tho bill.
Lonely, aud spectral, and sombre, and still,
And lo I as bu looks, on tho belfry’s height
A glimmer, and then » gleam of light J
Hu springs to tho saddle, tbe bridle he turns,
But lingers aud gazes, till full on his night
A second lamp m tho belfry burns.
A hurry of hoofs In a village street,
A shape lu tbo moonlight, a bulk in the dark, '
And beneath, from the pebbles, in passing,
Hiruck out by a steed flying fearless and Meet;
That was silt And yet, through tho gloom and the
light,
Tbe fate or a nation wos riding that night;
Aud the spark struck out by that stood in its flight
Kindled the land luto Uamo with its heat.
He has loft the village and motmled tbe steep,
And beneath him, tranquil aud broad and doep
la the Mystic, meeting tho ooosn tides;
And under the aldern that skirt Its edge,
Now soft on the sand, now loud on tho ledge,
Is heard the tramp ot hla steed as be rides.
It was twelra by (be village clock
When bo crossed the bridge lido Medford .town;
1I« board (bo crowing of the cook
And tbe barking of tbo former’s dog,
And felt tbo damn of tbo river fog
That rise* after tbo ami goes down.
It waa one by tbe village clock
When bo galloped into Lexington.
Ho aaw tbe gllilcd weathercock
Swim in tbo moonlight as bo pasted,
And tbo mcotinedioiuo windows, blank and bare,
(Lite at him with spectral glare,
As If limy already stood aghast
At the bloody work they would look upon.
It was two by tbe village clock
When be came to Ibo bridge at Concord town:
He beard tbo bleating of tbo flock,
And tbo twitter of birds among (be treea,
And felt tbo breath of tbo morning breeze
mowing over tbo meaduwa brown.
And ono waa safe and asleep in bis bed
Wiio at tbo bridge would bo lint to fall—
Wbo (bat day would be lyjug dead,
Plerosd by a Hntlib musket-ball,
You know the rest. In (be books you have read
How tbo llritlsb regulars flred and fled.
How the farmera gavo them lull for ball
From behind each fence and farm-yard wall,
Chasing tbe red-coats down tbo lane,
Then crossing tbe fields to omergo again .
Under tbo trees at tbo turn of Ibu toad,
And only pausing to Hro and load.
So through ibo night rode Paul Bevore;
And so through tbo uigbl went his cry oft Una
To over/ Middlesex village and farm—
A cry of defiance, and no) of fear,
A voice In the darkness, a knock at the door,
Aud a word that shall echo forevermore I,
For, borne on the ulgbt-wiud of tbo Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In tbo hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will woken and listen to bear
Tho flurrying boof-bcats of that stped,
And tbo midnight message of Paul Ilcvere,
