Elliott Xorthcott, ot Huntington. delivered the chief address at a | Lincoln day celebration at Chicago to- ( day. The addrcns s an Inspiring ( one and Is as follows: K& f There are two great epochs In the I history of the American Republic, i One la the natlon-hnlldiiig epoch and ' the other Is lite natlon-prcrrvtus i fejh , ?poch. Tne firat had Its scene of ac- < ifcf/ir . tlon in the midst of the thirteen Colonies on the 'Atlantic sea-board and Us < -eentrnl Hgore was George Washington. ' The second epoch had lis prlneipot i stage Of conflict In Uio Mississippi ' IValley and Its hero was. Abraham Lin- 1 '? ' coin. I Wo recall the history of the early I pi settlements of .lata-stown and Ply- I mouth Rock. We seo the growtn of 1 thirteen colonies peopled by the 'liber- 1 tty-lovlng -Anglo-Saxons. Wo stand l with the throngs In the old town i meetings on the commons of Bos- < ton and hair tho thunder-bolts hurled %%$; toy Samuel Adorns nt the tyranny of i the British. We again hear the match- i ; less eloquence of Patrjck Henry In the ' -{halls Of the Virginia assembly, and the , continental congress. Llko mountain . . peaks loom tip the figures ot Washington and Franklin. Wo watch In -the morning twilight tor the coming ot British regulars along the streets in the unlet villages ot Lexington and |p?j|pi -Concord. Wo stand amid tho glories of Bunker Hill and vralt with Washington and his barefooted soldies In dho snow at Valley Forge, and applaud lis victory at fronton. We witness "' Bnrgoy.ne's surrender at Saratoga and Corawallls' at Yorktown. We stand In the city ot Philadelphia and hear tho old liberty bell peal out the birth of liberty upon a new continent; and ap[A? hear tho plaudits ot the world at the Immortal words of the Declaration ot Independence, as penned by the lib erty-lovlng Jefferson. Wo see a new nation horn, dedicated to freedom and constitutional government; created by a people whose forefathers, upon the plains at Rimnymede, had wrested from King John the Magna Oharta. . the bulwark of Anglo-Saxon liberty; a nation that whs to exemplify to all history tho truth that all governments derive their just powers from the consent of tho governed. VIM11 .... ... I Nations are not made, they grow. In the beginning ot this republic our J, ' forefathers left two great questions for future generations to solve. Ideas ( are things, and It was a contest upon these two great ideas that moulded ( the bullets that were fired In the civil ,hj.' mar. As the teachings ot Voltaire an I ( Rousseau culmlrjted In tho French Revolution, so the discussion of these two great questions ended only at Appoinnttos. Hri ' The first found an early expression In the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions ot 179S and 1799, Inspired by Jefferson. They formulated the contention thnt tho right of the State was above the right of the Federation. jeuereon, me ilherty-lovlng Jefferson, who had Just como from the shadows of montirchy, know no central Initios except the centralization of personal j government He AM not fully under- , stand that In a representative govern- , ment the greatest danger Is not In . centralization, hut In disintegration, , Ho had not came to reallzo toat the , greatest tyranny Is the tyranny of the , i chief of a petty tribe, and that In em- , plre there Is liberty. That In n great ( representative government where nil pewor comes from the people, there . ts no danger of centralization.

This contest brought Into action the trans endent eloquence of Daniel Webster, rhoso defense of the supremacy of ntr federal government will always je a part of our national history. It 'ound Its most diramatic Incident when tndrcw Jaeltson faced South Carolina n Its .nullification and, with upllftel rand, swore by the Eternal that the Ight of toe Federation was above the Ight of any State. And thus comnenccd the contest that ended only In ilvll war. Here upon the -prarles of Illinois store than seventy years ago aprwSitred the plnud Of the impend ing stojm. The death of Lovejoy at \|ton battling for the liberty of speech ind for human freedom. Inspired the jratory of Wendell Phillips upon the xnnmons of Boston, wnose words rang out in favor of liberty like the mil to battle. His death lent strength :o the noble Garrison in Massachusetts. It was with John Brown when he died at 'Harper's Ferry. It inspired the pen of Horace Greeley, ivhose words lighted the fires that ;\inlly m<?Ited away forever the chains )f slavery. In the mrfdst of this 3torm came the glossal figure of Abraham Lincoln, 'the grandest man who has come to is on the tide of time." His origin vas as humble as that of the lowly tfazarene who bore his cross on the 'nr^ifT ahnros nf A*S jl flnli. :ary mountain peak towers above the ilnlns. so gtooil Lincoln above big environments. The centuries will ask of llm ?s they have asked of Shakesleare. from whence came his ,greatio?s, and out of the Eternal will :omc the answer that God gave It. The first real Americans wet*. :hose who crossed the Appalachian nountalns into the Mississippi Valley. l litis came Anurew jucusuu uuu j 1 t-n y Clny ami thus came tlio parents nt Ibrohnm Lincoln, This host ol plou>ers Irom Virginia and the Oarollnns nto Kentucky and Tennessee and hence Into Illinois, made the _bnci::round Tor the figure of Lincoln ami hoy were the men In whoso midst vas fought out ihe second great Araiercan conflict. The ."tars shine upon no greater leople than those who live here In he valley of the Mississippi river, [reater than the Tigris or Euphrates; [renter than the Nile, that flowed by lie homes of the ptolinles and Pha nohs, end upon whose banks sit rrand, gloomy and peculiar, the evera8tlng pyramids; greater than the [fiber of ancient home, from whoso milks tne Imperial Caesars ruled the vorld; greater than the Rhine, in vhoso valley contended the Teuton rnd th? Until fn,? the Ronremoev of Hurope and the world; greater than ill these because It flows by the home if freemen. And Illinois stretching rain the Great Lukes on the north, o the very heart of the Southland, berime the keystone of tills great valey and here lived and wrought Abralam Lincoln. 'No; without thy wondrous story, Illinois, Illinois, Jan be writ thy nntions glory, Illinois, Illinois. )n the record ot thy years tbraham Lincoln's name appears, Irani and Lognn and our tears, Illinois, Illinois." Lincoln was lust entering public Ifo ns n member of the Illinois Legcl a hi pn nt , S? rAAMYAth'a aahIa.I .f ,1.1a jovernment.
