DELIVERED AT OIlEflON O.V THE iTII OF JUI7YY 1871. HY HON. I. C. I'AltKini. Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land, ana unto an tnc inhabitants thereof. Leo. xxv.iQ. Ladies and Gentlumkn : Wo rend that nftor tho ciilltlron of Israel had cs enpcil from tho most KnllliiR bondago In Egypt, nnd after tho Lord of hosts had triumphed glorloualy over thoso who dosplscd tlia soiitlincnt "that all men nio created frco and equal," and tho horso and tid or had boon thrown Into tho sea, and nftor iltilit had provallcd over inlcht in tho very inoniliitf of tho world. and thoso who had nscaped Ironi tho thraldom or tho Kcyntiau task mastor havo sung their songs of joy on tho hanks of their deliverance, tho ureal law ilver Moses received from tho Dolly, not only that higher law upon which is unscu uio uiiristiuu n laitu, uiu nlso that codo which all civilized nations havo directly, or indirectly recognized as tho ono by which the world can bo governed. It was then that llio com mand which I havo read to you, came pu ro and spotless from tho mouth of Uotl hlnuolf, when ho spoko to Moses from amidst tho lira and smoke and aw ful thunders of Sinai, commanding him to "hallow tho ilftfoth year and pro claim liberty throughout all tho laud, and unto alt tho inhabitants thereof." Wo lu this ago of tho world fully roc ognizo tho fact that tho principle of this command has Its scat aud centra in tho mind of tho Deity, and Its mission is tho liitrmony of tho universe, nnd bocattso It bocamo known of men as bolng tho will of God, you and I, together with tho pcoplo of this whole land, in obedience to what has become- n tltnc-honorod cus tom, not only hero but wherever may bo found Americans, aud wherever floats the ling of tho free, and nlso in obcdlcnco to a scuso of patriotic duty, quit tho field and tho anvil, tho work shop and the counter, tho busy marts of cominerco and tho flaming forge, tho nolso aud bustle and heat of the city, as well as the qiiiot of tho country home, to assemble around tho altars of Ameri can liberty, ami place thereon tho obla tions of our faith lu "a government of tho pooiilo, by tho pcoplo and for tho pcoplo," pledging our troth anow to thoso eternal lights of innn proclaimed bv tho fathers, whon thoy nlnety-flvo years ago to-day hurled lu tho very face of dcsnotl6m tho immortal declaration : "Wo hold those truths to bu sclf-ovidont that all men aro created equal ; that thovaro endowed bv their Creator with certain iiiallcuablo rights : that among theso aro Ufa. liberty and tho pursuit of happiness ; tiiut to sccttro thoso rights governments aro instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the con sent of tho governed." Wo itavo oituu uccn tout tuni History repeats itsolf ; and I was forcibly struck Willi mo u iuii or Oils. when a fnw wooks ono I stood within tho sacred walls of Independence Hall, in l'hiladclphla, and cazetl uiion tho old liberty boll, now preserved within that temple of Amcrl can liberty as a nilcclcss national, heir loom, it win uo remcmucrcii tuai mo Continental Congress, during tho tlmo of its deliberations upon mo Declara tion which has boon read to you to-day, sat with closed doors. It had been en gaged several days in tho discussion of tins measure, wnicn mey oi nini uay oo llovcd If adopted would cliatigo tha fato of a contlnont, and which wo now bc- lievo will in iiino revolutionize i no world. On tbo nlcht of tho third of July, 1770, it was noised abroad in tho city ot riiunticipuia tnai on tno morn- In" ot tho fourth of July tho llnal action of Congress would bo tnken on tho Dec laration. Tuousftiitis oi anxious pcoplo had assomblcd in tho street nnd public squnro In front of tho hall. All lionrts in that assembly and throughout tho colo nics, wcro throbbing with anxiety. All minds wero ltitent upon ono thought: "What would Congress do ?" was passed from, lip to Up, of that immoiiso throng. 'J.'lio old bellman was at his post in tho belfry. A llttlo boy had been placed beneath him to givo him llio 6ignal when to ring. Tho morning sun waB shining brightly. Tho assem bled throng looked upon it as a good onion, being symbolic of tho now risen sun of indopondenco oven then discorna blo in tho political heavens. Tho morn lite ivnrn all nnaco. IMnnllv tho Declara tion was adopted, and tho llttlo boy was seen to clap ins nanus ami neurit uy tno multitude below to shout at tho top of Ills volco to tho old bellman, "ring 1 ring I rlngl" Tho old man did ring, and a nation was born, aud tho birthday of that nation wo all over this land, from whoro tho morning sun first kisses tho bluo waves of tho Atlantic to whore ho sinks to rest beneath tho silvery wa ters of tho Pacific, this day celobruto. Tho old man did ring, and whon ho did so, ho rang out tho dcath-kncll of des potism and human slavery, and rang in tho now era whoroin liberty to all tho pcoplo was to bo tho rulo, and oppres sion tho exception. Tho old man did ring, and the clear notes of that boll woro sweot nnulo to tho ears of tho pa triot father assembled below, who stood ready to pledgo tholr lives, thoir for tunes aud thoir sacred honor, as thoso within its hallowed walls had already duno, to maintain tho otornal rights of man. Tho ringing of that boll eorrlod glad tidlugs of great Joy to tho colonists who wore In arms evory whoro, and as Us swoot notes woro borno ncross tho fertllo slopos of tho old Koystono state, tho nconlo cauuht tho sound nnd ro- jolcod ; and as they heard its ringing tones wnitcu upuu uiu urcczo uowu in tho beautiful vnlloys of Virginia, hor patriot sons and daughters mot Its notes with shouts of rcjololng; and tho sound of that ringing was greeted with tho choers of thoso In tho old Hay state, who hud soon Warron give up his young llfo as a Holocaust to liberty nt Hunkor Hill ; and thoso who had scon tho sons of ficb America butchered by tho minions of despotism at Iioxingtou ; aud they woro heard amid tho swamps nf the Carollnns, thoro increasing the patriotic dovotlon of Sumptor's and Marlon's mou ; and wo can almost imagine that this proclamation ot liberty as it was borno upon tho wings of tho wind was oaufjht up by tho angels of lionvon, nud as it mlnglou with tholr swoot songs of rejoicing, was carriod back to tho throno or that, God, who, thousands of years bofaro, had said, upon a mountain top, standing out upon tho sands of tho ties ort of Arabia; "Proclaim liberty throughout all tho land, and unto all tho inhabitants thereof." ThU old boll has a history. It was imported from England iu 1762, for tho otata houso of Pennsylvania, but having mot witli somo nccldont iu tho trial ring lng, after it was landed, it lost Its tone, aud had to bo rocast. This was dono undor tho direction of Isaac Norrl r.sq,, thou speaker of tho Colonial As sombly. This was twonty-threo year befora it tiroclnimcd to tho pcoplo o .a in erica tno uociaraiiou 01 iniioncnt ouco ; nnd strange as it may seem, at this tlmo was placed upon it tho rcmarkahla motto so prophetic of its futuro use "Proclaim liborty tliroiitrhout all th land, aud unto all tho Inhabitants thcro of." This declaration or cotnmnu which emanated from God, was carried by tho night of tlmu down tlirouirli th ages until it was caught up and placed In lottors of iron, thereby liullcatini; its strength and power over llio minds of tho children of men, upon tho old bell which will stand as a monumout to lib crty as lasting as time, and as eternal as tno ovoriasiing 11111s. rruiy, History docs rencat use u T in ue 11 iiecam useless after it had dono Us work of tell lng tho pcoplo of tho colonics, nud through lliciu tho nations of tho earth that a now nation had been born anion them, nnd was already knocking nt th doors of dcxpnlism for recognition nation whose ciiiiiireu wero lrce. li.nl ono mission to perforin, and when that was done Its work was accom pllshcd. It was thou to bo placed with tho sword of Washlni'ton. tho slnll' Franklin, and tho pen of Jcllorson, and tho bullet-torn and blootl-stalnuil hatllo Hags ol the nation, all sacred an-hives of ti government whoso every citizen 1 a peer m 111s ioiiow. No Drltleh forgo was puro otiough to send forth niotnl that would sound the key noto to American Liberty ; there foro tno bell had to bo rc-enst in thi country. Tho soil of Iirlton was so cursed bv the tread of despotism that no llrltlsh mlno could send forth from Its bowels ore ? ulllclciitlv pure to mnko n bull that would ring out tho chime of "Liberty and Union, nno ami lorcver lnsc nara bio," thorcforo it had to bo pitrilicd in n liirnaco llio tires 01 . wnicn woro 111 ti bv tho hands of men who would bo Iree No Urltlsh worknion suluclcntlv under stand the principles of Liberty, to mako the tonguo of that bell, thoroforo it had to bo modeled uy tiiosironi? ri'ui arm n an American Freeman.

During tho greater port or tho strug glo. Congress had possessed 110 authori ty but what was tacitly granted to it, from tho nocossify of tho coso. Tho in dividual States wero unwilling to givo up any o'f that Indopcndenco which tlioy wcro striving to vlndicato against a for olgn power. Thoy claimed comploto sovereignty, and wero unwilling to np. poor only as tho member, or n Conrcd oracy, undor tho control or a Control Government. In 1777 a plan of union had been framed nnd ndoptcd in Con gross nrtor two years' discussion, not as tho best that could bo imagined, or as adapted to all exigencies, but as tho only ono suitod to existing circumstances, or at all Hkoly to bo adopted. It was not to go Into oflcct until It was ratified by all tho Slates, ond only rour or them could bo Induced nt first, to adopt it. Slowly and reluctantly tho others govo in thoir ndheston ; tho consent of Now .lorsv and Dolowaro not bolng obtained IlII 1779, and that of Maryland, not un til 1781, when nt last tho final sanction of tho artlclos of Confederation as they wero cailod, was joyfully annoijnood by Congross. Jlut tho Union thus ofl'octcd was very inadoquoto to tho ends in view. It did not establish a Control Govern ment ; it was only a loaguo of several iiidopondout sovereignties. The Con gress of tho notion, undor this confedcr- otiou, had no power but to recommend measures It could not onforco them and it was left to tho States to oboy tho recommendations or not, at their pleas ure, it was n Government of influenco, and not of power, if indood Influenco can bo called government; but it was not 0110 under which tho Hvob, liberties and proporty of tho governed could bo secure, it soon nccamo manliest tunt it. would becomo noccssary to establish a Government capablo of oxortlng moro powor toward thoso who might bo un wllllii" to obey Its lows. Tho establish- ment of our Union by tho adoption of that Magna Charta of American liborty; tlio' Constitution of tho United States wns tho embodiment of that sontlmcut.

This was tho objoct of tho fa thors whon they in their preamblo to that Instrument declared, "Wo, tho poo plo of tho Utiitcd Stotos, in order to form a moro porrect Union, cstobilshod ustico, insurotiomosiio iraiiiiiiiin), iiu- vldo ror tbo common defense, promolo Mir, irnnnrnl M'olfnro Olid SOCUl'O tllQbloSS- ings of liborty to oursolvos and our pos terity, do ordain and establish litis Con stitution of tho United Stntos pt Amor lea." Horo tho power of tho poonlo was rooognizod; hero tho foot that this Was a "Government of tho pooplo, by tho pooplo, and for tho pooplo, was mado manifest." Vory many porsons at tho tlmo of tho adoption of tho constitution, objected to it bocattso thoy bollovod that it doprlyod, tho Statos of too much pow er ; but when wo reflect upon tho objoct ofGovernniout, wo must concludo,' and especially after our cxporlonco iu this country, that this power was proparly lodged in tho Government of United Statos, rathor than in thoso or tho States. , Undor our presont systorn, wo can boi hold tho groat doiuo of tho Union rising and expanding to Hoavon ; oxtqndliig over all tho States, but not rostiug on
