We present to our readers a full report of tho responses to tho different toasts at the New England Celebration, on Wednesday evening, together with the Address of tho President of the Society. INAUGURAL AI)1)KE8S OF I'KESIIlENT IILIIUAIID. Whoever han visited the Cemetery adjacent to the city of Burlington, Vcrmcut, will have noticed, among other highly interesting mcmon-tocs, the grave of Vermont's fuvorito son, Ethan Allen. It is surmounted and covered with a massive marble slab, which has on it a brief, but imprcssivo inscription to his memory. Ono of tho posts, or lower corners of this tomb-stone, presents tho evidence of having been broken off, from time to time, and probably in small, if not minute pieces, but to such an extent that the symmetry of the stone, as it came from the hands of the sculptor, is very materially marred. It was no vandal hand that did it; no sacri-ligious act or thought was connected with these, repeated abstractions from the tomb of the de parted hero. I heso nets wcro tho promptings of affection and love for him whose spirit once animated tho now lifeless clay. It was the gratification of that irrepressible desire which the pure and virtuous minus ot the living have, and have had, in all ages, to possess somo relic, some memento, of o departed friend. A picture, a book, a letter, or any relic of tho departed are treasured with pious caro as house-hold goods in tho possession of the living; and they serve, as bright connect ing links, to the meniorj", in bringing back to mental view the life and character of the onceliv- ingobjectof their affections. Thus tho fond moth er, in the midst of her grief, for the loss of her darling child, will bo found industriously gathering up all the littlo playthings, and wearing apparel of tho lost ono. These aro put. away with pious care, garnished with the affections and tears of the heart stricken mother; aro preserved during her life, and often looked upon as mementos, and connecting links between the living and the dead. Even the littlo sayings, tho looks and certain acts of tho departed are preserved in faithful remembrance and with de votional repetition, lor many, many years, so too, wo find the samo principle- pervading tho human breast, in reviewing the life andcharac- actcr of tho good and great who havo gone be fore us, and whoso whole lives wcro snerilices for the good of our common country, and of the liberties wo, their favored heirs, do now enjoy so too, with this veneration, respect nnd lovo, for tho illustrious dead of our forefathers, there is commingled and ever cxisling and forever to be perpetuated in tho breast of every American an ardent, never fading, undying love of country. And thus too, and perhaps as tho substratum of love of country, natural to tho human mind, is tho love of homo; .ho homo of our childhood. Thero is tho place of our earliest recollections; our first budding ond innocent affections; our first loves of Father, Mother, Brothers and Sisters. And then the scones around us; the first impressions upon our mental visions; the house, whether cabin or castle, its interior furniture, whether much or little, burnished or plain; tho hill or tho valley, tho brook or the river, ocean or pond; the majestic tree, or the lowly shrub; the garden, the copes-wood, the fruit trees, the flowers, tho meadow and pasture, the well or tho spring, tho working tools and domestic animals, all, all, are dear, most dear, to us and the better principles of our nature And then tho early teachings; the moral and religious impressions of tho mother, forming the future character of tho man or woman, and in all our wanderings never forgotten; then and thero the habits of industry, of business and development of mind, inculcated in our youth under the parental roof, by rather and Mother, and in the village school, arc, in all of our journeyings through life, remembered with gratitude and filial devotion. Memory even in old age recurs to it, with affection, as the stand point of our existence, and tho finl teachings of the mother as the guardian spirit ot our welfare and success in after life. It is in accordance, nay by tho promptings of this principle in our nature, which I have at tempted to describe, that we now are met on this auspicious occasion; wo havo formed and estab lished the New England Society of Columbus. Our object, as set forth in tho preamble to our constitution, is "to keep in fresh remcmbranco the land of our nativity, the institutions under which we wero reared; those principles, moral, religious ami social, wherein wo were educated, as well as the tics of consanguinity which bind together as one people, thoso descended from a common ancestry. And in gratclul remem brance, of the virtues ond labors of our first Forefathers of cw hneland, we, with such ot our fellow citizens as may bo willing to unite with us, will celebrate, annually, this day, as the day of the landing of tho Pilgrims The Puri tan rilgrims on 1 lymouth ICock. It moreover provides for an oration commemorating that great event, and a dinner of the "fat of tho and, tho first of which is intended as a least for tho mind, the second for tho body. In this our organization, wo expect, witli our guests and visitors, to be benefitted by a recurrence to the great fundamental principles of life and conduct that governed our Forefathers, and which have been so indolibly stamped upon their desccndcnls, and moreover, and through them, to a greater or less extent, by means of our civil and religious institutions, upon the whole people of our grand and glorious Repub lic. In view, also, ot tho multiplied blessings we enjoy, this day is to be celebrated as a festival, in which all may partako with thanksgiving and joy. It is also tho purpose of tho Society, and the necessary steps have already been taken to that effect, to found a Library of rare works, relating to tho first settlement ot our country, the habits, manners and customs of tho pcoplo of thaso early times; the principles nnd agencies that brought about the glorious Revolution of '75, and that, finally established tho Constitution and Government of tho United States, of North America. A Constitution and government, unlike any other preceding it, and more perfectly securing the rights of man, and civil and religious liberty to men, and their communities, than any and all others in the world's history. It is not my province, or duty at this time, to detain you with a full history of the remarkablo people who first settled this country; tho civil mid religious relations they have to others, and the effects and consequences incident to their labors upon the rest of mankind. Thcso and kindred matters, called forth by the occasion, have been most elaborately and satisfactorily shown you in the able and elegant address by theOrator of the day. But I may be permitted, even under the limited duty assigned to me, (that of inaugurating this Society by stating its general object and purposes) to advert to some great and important facts and results attending the first settlement of Plymouth Colony, and tho others afterwards, of New England. That they wcro a very rcmarkublo people, all history attests. They wcro peculiar and remarkablo for their deep, sincere and abiding piety; for their tenacity of principle in adhering to the religion they professed. They were decidedly intelligent for the ago in which they lived; consequently they were no fanatics nor enthusiasts, but pure-minded, Binccro and intelligent Christians. They and tho rest of tho congregation under tho pastoral offico of that great and good man, Itobinson, had suffered persecution upon persecution, at the hands of an unjust if not wicked Government, tho Hierarchy of Homo, or other churches clothed with civil power, until they seemed to have no abiding place, no home, no country they could call their own, nnd where Ihey could in pcaco worship God, in truth and sincerity, according to the dictates of their own conscionce. Verily they woro long tried in tho furnace of persecution nnd affliction, and, as it afterwards manifested itself to human ken, wero thereby well prepared, in God's Providence and purposes, to settle a now world and found a new nation of Freemen. The hand of tho Lord appears to have visibly so ordered events that they should first settle upon the inhospitable shores of Plymouth. That country, to a great extent, had shortly, previous to that, been prepared for them by boing denuded of the natives by a pestilence. The country therefore, was unoccupied by man, and thus there were none near to molest them; and by their wise and honest courso, they Becurod the frienship of tho surrounding and adjacent tribes by a treaty, which was in mutual good faith kept for upwards of fifty years. They from the first formed and founded their own Government, chose their own Governor, and adoptod that as their own country. Although they Buffered unheard of trials and afflictions, by sickness, deaths and famine, their courage never quailed, and their fail h never forsook them. They lived in sincerity and devotion the truth of a verso in a church hymn composed long afterwards: Tho' troubles assail ns, and dangers affright, Tho' our friends should all fail, ant) our foes ALL unite, Yi-t one thing tecuret us: whatever hetlile, Tile promite assures us, the Lord Kill provide. lly God's blessing they grew apace, largely added to by the thousands of Puritans, whom the tyrant, Arch-Bishop Laud, when in power, forced fo leave their native land, and scttlo in the wilderness of the New World, with their brethren of New England. Hero they increased and multiplied, extending their settlements over portions of all New England, and planting in every community thus formed tho Common School, tho town meeting republic, and the civil and religious liberty of all. Truly those first settlers wcro the best and purest seed of Old England; winnowed from the chaff of civil and religious corruptions, and by tho persecution of wicked and ungodly rulers. They were Btcrnly juit to friend and foe; conscientiously upright in all their intercourse with the Indians, not a foot of whoso land did they tako without a fair consideration. In war brave as tVsar, in peaco industrious, self-dependent, and self-sacrificing, with enlarged and liberal views for tho future, they founded Governments upon the principles of eternal truth, justice, and tho rights of man; and Churches, Colleges, and Seminaries of learning wr.rc established and endowed, that all of the rising generation might reccivo a moral and virtuous education. Their motto partook of their individuality of right Jkus meumquc jui and each of those stern old Puritans bore "freedom on his brow," and noli me tangcre in the expression of his countenance. That self-reliance and self-exertion, peculiarly characteristic of them and of their descendants, was worthy of all praise. They wcro living proofs that "The self-dependent mind can time defy As rocks rosiit the ocean and tho sky." It was this self-dcpcndcnt, solf-excrtont principle, with a knowledge of their rights, and a virtuous courage to maintain them, that, in unison with like minds, in the other Colonies, planned and perfected tho Revolution of Independence, and established, firm as tie Rock of Ages, the Constitution and government of the United States; and under whoso benign auspices we have grown a nation of People, tho most hardy, most intelligent and entcrprizing of any other in tho world a peoplo whoso sails have whitened every sea, and whoso foot-prints aro found in every land. On this festival occasion then, whilst recapitulating the virtues, of our Forefathers, and enjoying the liberty that their wisdom and lahors, with their no less co-pai riots of the other Colonics have secured to us, let us remember that wo enjoy that liberty, and are to continue to enjoy it, in common with all the citizens of these United Stales. That the revolution, the Con stitution and Government was the united work and labor, of all the patriots of all tho Colonies that tho races of all by their descendants have, by inter-marriages and business commingled throughout our whole land, as one great national family of freemen. Let our love of Country then bo extonded to tho whole of our domain, protected by tho genius of our Constitution, and the Flag of our Union. I havo read, in my day, witli wonder and astonishment, declarations mado by certain prominent politicians, that they knew no East, no West, no North, no South!! I am not a politician; and I do know that thero is an East, a West, a South, and a North, of our common country; and I do know that they are undivided and iudivisiblo parts of that common country, tho peoplo of which aro American citizens, part and parcel of our Union, entitled to equal rights under the Constitution, ono with another; and that these American citizens, through the length and breadth of tho land, havo a common ancestry in the Patriots of the Revolution. They were in, and from, all of tho colonies in tho old Confederation. Their joint counsel formed, in tho dark day of their struggles with their giant foe, that Talisman of Liberty, wherever it floats our National Flao. Thoir blood, in common, intermingled, and watered and nourished the Tree of Liberty. Their joint nnd wise counsels gave us our National Constitution, Name, and Union. Let us, then, lovo our whole country, and every one who is a lawful and worthy heir of American Independence. Lot no "pent up V ilea," contract our love of country; but let it be as extensive and as undivided as our enlarged American domain, knowing and embracing the East, West, North and South, under tho endearing name of Our Country. May no part of it bo ever severed from tho main body by any foreign or internal foe; but may the Liberty and tho Union of tho whole be one and indissoluble, NOW AND FOREVER. And that Flay, with its stars and stripes the representative of the Union and Power of our several States, the time-honored Egis of American rights, collectively and individually, in every land, and wherever unfurled may it never palo or grow dim before any combination of powers, however collossal; and may no star bo ever stricken from its ethcrial and azure ground field. But long nay, forever may it wave 'O'er the land of the freo and the homo of the bravo." REGULAR TOASTS. 1. Tho Pilgrims of 1U2II, ami their descendants of 1858. "Tho glory of children arc their father." The Response to thistoast, by Mr. A. P. Stone, was decidedly "a neat speech." lie said he thought it was not fair to call out a modest man to respond to the first toast unless they did it on the principle of taking tho light knick-knacks first, and the substantial afterwards. Mr. Smytho did'nt know they could begin with anything heavier than a Stono so happy a hit, that everybody roared again. Mr. Stone resumed, saying that ho felt like the profane man, who, nl'tor driving a cart-load of apples up a hill, discovered that tho tailboard was out, and his tipples scattered along tho road, as far as ho could sec. The neighbors gathered around to hear his expressions of disapprobation, but ho merely remarked to them, ''Gentlemen, 1 can't do justice to the Biibjcct." Thai, said Mr. S., is my predicament. It is said by somo of tho old philosophers, Plato or Pluto, (I do not know which, I suppose you do,) that every thing in the universe, material and immaterial, institutions, principles and moving forms aro but tho out ward development of an antecedent idea, conceived in some intelligent mind. In other words, that nothing exists, or ever did exist, but that the idea of the thing existed before it. I liopo you understand mo, Mr. President. Well, I am glad you do, for I am quite sure I don't understand myself. You look so philosophical sotting thero behind that large loaf of cake, I was quite sure you would help mo out of (ho difficulty. Well, what I am trying to como at is this: That it was an idea that brought tho Pilgrim Fathers to this country. That idea was, that religion was a matter between every man and his Creator, between whom no earthly power had any right to interfere; consequently that every ono had a right to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, in peace and quietness. This they wore not permitted to do in the land of their birth, and they sought this Continent for the purpose of establishing institutions where they could live in peace with their government, their consciences, and their God. Is there in human history a moro sublime spectacle, than a view of thcso men, Bitting in council on tho bosom of the Ocean, laying the foundation stone of this Great' Republic, which has become tho asylum of the down-trodden and oppressed of all NationB? This republic would nover havo existed but for those men. Their civic opinions were a necessary sequence of thoir roligious belief an unavoidable outgrowth.I do not claim for them that they even dreamed of the mighty results which followed. But I do claim that men are to be judged by the results which flow from their opinions when conscientiously expressed; and by this standard who among the world's great stand higher than tho men who composed tho Congress held on board the May Flower, as she tossed on the waves of the Atlantic? Mr. President, I will not keep you from the sweetmeats any 'longer, and close by a sentiment:The liencmdante of ihe Viljrinu Worthy of their ancestors. 'I'his great Republic, with Its freedom in religion, freo schools, and free press, is the monument they have erected to their memory. 2. The memory of tho Pilgrim Mothers. "Their children rlso up and call them blessed." Mr. Smytho responded to this toast in the most felicitous manner. Ho was glad that a word had at length been spoken of tho Puritan Mothers. Wo had heard a great deal of the Puritan. Fathers; and no doubt they were wise men in their way, and heroic, but ho thought that if tho deeds of tho mothers of New England had been blazoned in liberty, they would have shono no less brightly than thoso of the fathers. Take ono instance not of a Pilgrim mother, exactly, but of a Puritan mother certainly. Wo had all read of the martyrdom of tho Rev. John Rogers, who left a widow with nine small children, and one at the breast, and ho conceived that merely being burnt up and going straight to heaven, was nod to be compared to being left a minister's widow with ten small children! Ho continued in this humorous strain for some time making hit after hit, and greeted with storms of laughter and applause. It was just such a speech as was suited to tho occasion light, pleasant to the taste, and easy to bo di-gessed. Decidedly it was a racy speech, sparkling with wit, hardly satire, and happy illusion. 3. The early Governors of the New England Colonies, Carver, Bradford, Wlnthrop, Kudecott, and their successors.Gov. Chase responded. Governor Chusc said, that just before hocamo into tho dining hall, one of those industrious gentlemen who are expected to record what is done on such occasions a Reporter asked him if ho had any minutes of the remarks he proposed to make. He answered that he had not had any minutes in which to prepare remarks. He did not know what ho ought to say. Ho did not know why he had been called upon to respond to the toast to tho Governors of New Eugland, unless it was becauso he happened, just now, to hold a similar position. The Pilgrim Governors were as good as Governors may be expected to be, but their jurisdiction was small. If his memory served him, Carver, the first one, had only 101 constituents, and his successor Bradford, had only 50, disease, having in the meantime, made sad havoc in the infant colony The. Pilgrim Governors had fulfilled their duty and passed away. The New England Colonics had grown into six respectable States witli six respectable Governors. At the head of New England States, it might bo properly said, was Massachusetts, which had a Governor worthy of Massachusetts. While he should occupy her Executive chair there need bo no fear, that any proper drafts upon her Banks would be dishonored. After happy reference to the independence in political government which characterized the Pilgrims, Gov. Chase said that they had formed, before landing at Plymouth, the first constitution which embodied tho principles of popular sovereignty not what is now called popular sovereignty in somo quarters, but that genuine popular sovereignty which is founded on tho principle of equal, inalionablo rights in every individual of tho community, and zealously maintains it against all invasions. Gov. Chaso called attention in a few descriptive words to what that principle had done, and said tho essential principles of that Mayflower constitution, moro or less modified in their practical application by circumstances, lie at the baso of every State cosntitution, and of the whole system of American government. It could not bo claimed that the ideas of equality of rights or of popular government wero new, but the Pilgrims had the distinguished honor of first embodying those ideas in an actual working constitution of free government. We were also indebted, ho said, to tho settlers of New England for the idea of Federal Union not that tho idea, any more than tho other, was entirely new. The world had seen confederations of States in tho ancient and modern times. But in America the idea was of New England origin. It was first exemplified in the confederation of New England, then in the larger confederation of all tho colonies, and finally in our present glorious unity of States, it was practically exemplified and made a living fact. Ho thought this idea of the United States, more fruitful of practical good than any other for which Americans wero indebted to New England. Leaving to every one tho absolute control of all matters of domestic concernment, yet providing for a common government in all matters purely national, it allowed indetinito expansion of cmpiro without endangering the rights of tho separate States, which might com-poso it, or of tho personal interests of individuals, placed by tho principle under tho safe guard of those States. State after Stato might be added to the Union; tho freedom and prosperity of each not endangered but assured by tho strength of all star after star might bo gathered to our constellation, tho separate brightness of each, not impaired but enhanced by the collective effulgence of all. Was it too much to hope that tho principle uf tho American union might become the principle of tho full confederacy of the nations. Adverting briefly to tho lessons of religious freedom taught by Ihe errors, not less than by tho principles of tho New England Pilgrims, to the lessons of hospitality to tho stranger, and liberality to tho immigrant, taught by their experience in Holland, and tho circumstances of their establishment in tho new world; and making happy allusions to various characteristics of the Nc England forefathers. Gov. Chaso concluded by saying, that every review of the past inspired him with faith in tho future in the certainty of progress in the pcrmanenco of tho Union; and with the confident hope that, as tho lust result of tho enlarging empire, both of American government and American principles, the brotherhood of tho race might at last assemble, by their representatives, to deliberate, "in tho Parliament of man," on the destinies of tlio world. At tho conclusion of tho Governor's remarks, Ihe musical club sang "Tho Old State House Bell." The fourth regular scnlimcnt wns then read : 4. The Civil Pnluy inaugurated In the cabin of tho Mayflower, December 11th. The Itrst compact ever formed fiir securing to nil equal rights. Responded by Hon. Wm. Dcnnison, jr. Mr. President: Tho lateness of the hour admonishes me to be very brief in reply to tho sentiment just read. Under different circumstances, it would afford mo great pleasure to say much more than I will now venture to say, in regard to that memorablo instrument of government framed nnd executed on tho Mayflower, by which tho Pilgrims formed themselves into a body politic, and gavo to the world, certainly the first, if not the only instance in human his tory, of that positive, original, social compact, which speculative philosophers in almost every previous age, had imagined as the only legitimate source of government. Let mo read a copy of this immortal document that I have prepared, since learning this evening that I would be expected to perform the very pleasing duty ossigneJ me. You will find it brief, but comprehensive, clearly enunciating the great principles that undjrlie all truly popular forms of government, tho very cornerstone of our American political system, and in its pious invocations earnestly characteristic of the Puritan faith in the Sovereign Ruler of nations, to worship whom, according to their sense of religious duty, the Pilgrims, with a heroism unparalleled in the world's history, encountered the hazards and privations of the untried soil, the rigorous climate and the savage wilderness of New England. " Compact. "In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread sovereign lord, King James, &c, having undertaken, for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith, and honor of our king and country, a voyage to plant tiie first colony in tho northern parts of Virginia, do, by thcso presents, solemnly and mutually, iu the presence of God and of one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic, for our better ordering and preservation, and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof, to enact, constitute and frame such just and equal laws and ordinances, acts, constitutions, and officers, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of tho colony; unto which we promise all duo submission and obedience." I will not say, Mr. President, that this brief instrument embodies all the principles of government necessary for the regulation of'our American Societies, but this much I will say, that so long as any people will faithfully observe the declared purposcof its authors, which was, to enact and religiously obey, such just and equal laws, &c, as would best promote tho good of all who would be subject to their provisions, such a people cannot but be prosperous and happy. And I may Bay more, that whenever or where ever any peoplo shall be governed by contrary maxims of social or political organization that oppression, misrule or anarchy will certainly follow. Had I the time, and were this tho place, I would be glad to illustrate the truth of thesedec-larations bycontrastingtheonevr.t:r"is and effects of the forms of American civilization that- have come to us from the Puritan Fathers, and aro irw so gratefully cherished by nmnjority of the pcoplo of the statesof our almostboundlessconfedoracy, with that system that, was established in the Southern portions of the Union, so resolutely defended by its champions, and whose efforts for its extension into our national terri tories, and ultimately, it may bo, into tho free States of the Confederacy, have weakened the bonds, and imperiled tho existence of tho Union. But I forbear longer to trespass upon your patience. In conclusion sir, let me congratulate you and our New England friends, so many of whom arc present here this evening, upon the organization of this association. You and they are right in venerating Ihe memory of your forefathers: right, in annually meeting together to commemorate their sublimo virtues and heroic deeds: right, in claiming a largo share of tho political freedom, nnd social prosperity enjoyed by tho peoplo in this and our Sister American States to be the legitimate fruit of their Christian patriotism, their sacrifices, and their toils. Although not a nativo of the Pilgrim land, I rejoice to know that Pilgrim blood flows in my veins, and hence, it may be, that I feel quite at home hero this evening, as I trust I ever will, when in company with the descendants of those brave and pious men, who gave us the immortal compact so justly referred to in tho sentiment, to which I have now so imperfectly replied. 6. Tho early Puritan Ministers, John Robinson, John Cotton, John Davenport, and many another man sent from God, whose namo was John, or something elso. "They to-lieved, therefore they spake." Rev. Mr. Elliot spoke in response: Mr. Elliot opened with a pleasant reference to the fact, that ho could "run up a strightlino of pedigree to a John of saintly memory, called even apostolic, blessed John Elliot," and then touched upon tho life and character of that eminent man, and the other great Johns of that day and after time. He described tho privations they underwent, and then, alluding to the degenerate effeminacy of their descendants, who could not put foot on tho, damp ground (unless well defended by rubbers) without taking cold. " What leaders," ho exclaimed, "wcro those men. Of what formative power 1 And yet some in their ignorance atlcct to sneer at our early ministry as dull, coarse, narrow-minded honest, perhaps, but stupid and bigoted! AVhy, sir, they were men of the highest breeding, broadest attainments, intensest earnestness somo of the most varied scholars and sharpest rcasoners of tho age. They wcro Englnnd's ripest fruit, shaken off by mad hands, providentially made mad that their seed might ger-miuato on our shores, to nourish and bloss our country and the world. " Sent from God," you say they were. Truly, sir. Who doubts it? Who will dony that lie who of old sent forth Abraham and Moses, and the John before the incoming Christ, sent them, commissioned to do His great work in this land and age? And your motto "They believed and therefore spake" verily they did. They believed great verities of this life and tho next. There was no indiffercntism about them none of tho modern plea, "it matters not what a man believes if ho acts right." They had a faith. They spake always and on every theme, un hesitatingly and mightily. When John Eliot was left alone amid hostile Indians, the chiefs, jealous of his influence, threatened his life if he did not refrain from preaching. His answer was: "I am about tho work of the great God my God is with me; I fear neither you nor all tho Sachems in tho country. Touch me if you dare" and they dare not. It was said of him that when he denounced wrong, "ho had as many thunders as words." And so was it with them all. Now England, sir, has been strong and prosperous at homo, eminent and influential abroad, by these two things, believing and speaking, on all matters of weight, whether secular or spiritual.So must this great west bo. Its future turns on this and must be shaped by it. Let us be New Englandcrs, not only in the fact of birth or residence, but in principle nnd spirit. Let us identify ourselves heartily with the section and the people of our adoption, and strive to influence them aright by a profound faith and a freo speech, (1. Tho New England Schoolhouse A mighty Institution In tho land. W. T. Coggeshall, Editor of the Ohio Journal 'if Education, responded. - The sentiment you read, Mr. President, that the Common Schools of New England are a mighty insti-tution will not be questioned around this festive board, whether we remember New England ancestry, or Ohio citizenship whether wo would do honor to fatherland or to adopted homes. I would occupy too much time, were I to undertake to toll what influence New England Common Schools, through their active graduates, have exerted, and aro exerting, for morals, for manufactures, for agriculture, for commerce or for politics. It is enough to call attention to the significant fact that there is not a department of National Government, which docs not know them there is not a community in the Northwest which does not acknowledge the sentiment to which I respond. But, sir, the Common Schools of Ohio arc a worthy institution and they aro an outgrowth of New England sentiment. Tho Yankee Pioneers, who led the way for the organization of the State of Ohio, were men who knew tho value of public education. In their first Bottlement, at Marietta, they provided for a free school. Rev. Solomon Drown, a New England Minister, mado the first public appeal for freo education, in the North West. Ephraim Cutler, a son of one of tho original New England pioneers, suggested the clause in our first Constitution which doclarcd that "religion, morality and knowledge, being essentially necessary to good government, and the happiness of mankind, schools and tho means of instruction shall forever be encouraged by legislative provision." . New England men led the movement by which the first laws in accordance with that Constitutional requirement, were secured. Nathan Guilford, a native of Massachusetts, drafted the law under which the first general tax for school purposes in Ohio was levied. The men who called the first State Educational Convention and who prepared the way for, and directed the influences which established a State School Department, were New England men. Samuel Lewis, tho first Superintendent of Common Schools in the Buckeye State, and the first one in the North West, was a son of Massachusetts und a worthy son, to whom the recipients of the benefits of free education in Ohio, owo lasting gratitude. The influences which made possible, and which secured the adoption of, the liberal Common School System Ohio now enjoys under which a gentleman, of New England ancestry is Stato Commissioner wcro chiefly New England influences, original or hereditary. After this brief summary of historical events or perhaps rather of Yankee influences I think it is safo to assume that every citizen of Ohio, native as well axfldopted, who is a friend of public education, will subscribe to the sentiment, that New England common schools aro a power in our land. If any bold sceptic doubts the justness of the sentiment, I challenge him, or her, to discuss it, with any one of the Yankee school ma'ams, who ' ave executive authority, not only in many t.'hool houses, but at many fire-sides in our State. Mr. President: That in New England originated the American system of free Bchools, now adopted in nearly every Stato of tho Union, is a fact prominent among those which make her memory dear to her children, and will render her glorious in history. The great sentiment of tho Pilgrims that intelligence and virtue are tho safe-guards of Republics finds ils worthiest advocates in homes but its widestcnforccment,and practical illustration in common schools; ami sir, so long as the 2'2i of December is an honored day; so long as New England opinion and principle have fair play just so long will it bo impossible for selfishness or avarice, however combined, to prevent good free schools from making ignorance and vice disrcputablcand unprofitable from render ing intelligence and virtuo not only sought for but insisted upon. Recognizing what the New England Pion-ncers did, when public education was first provided for in Boston, in 1033, and what the Ohio Pioneers did, when they established the first free school in the Northwest, at Marietta in 1788 that free instruction good education for every child is essential to material, social, moral and political prosperity, the members of tho New England Society of the Capital of Ohio will join mo in a sentiment: May the men and women of the next genoration have as good resisou to he grateful to tho Educators of the pros-sent, as we have to bo grateful to the wiso Pioneers, ell'cct-ive Teachers and liberal Legislators of the past. 7. The Courtship of Miles Standish. "Why don't you speak for yourself, John "? Responded to by Rev. Mr. Nyo. He observed by tho clock, that it is about the hour when gl osts are supposed to sally forth to disturb the sleep of men ; and if there is only a medium at the President's end of tho room, he wished he would rap for tho spirit of John Alden, and permit him to "speak for himself." Remarking that the toast to which he was invited to speak gave him the largest liberty in tliechoiceof a theme; he alluded to the poem from which the sentiment was taken, and playfully touched upon the character of Miles Standish, and the mission upon which ho had sent John Alden; and, then, "speaking) for himself," he said that although he was Canadian and not Yankee born, he had been raised among New Hampshire hills. "But," ho continued, "we do notj stand here to speak for States. We are New England men, proud, and justly of the land of our birth. Yet, she requires now no eulogy at our hands. Let her Schools, Academics, Colleges and Churches, her Monuments, and battle-fields, her Statesmen, her Poets and her Divines, "speak for themselves." They have spoken, and their words have gone out even unto the ends ot the earth. The Pilgrims came hither to " speak for them selves. They fought to found a Commonwealth without a King, and Church without a Bishop, or Priest. In their sight, every man redeemed by the truth, is himself a King and a Priest unto God. Governments were mado for men, and not men for governments. Churches wcro made for men, and not men for Churches, or Creeds. They exalted the individual man, the individual reason and conscience, and would cast every man on his own resources to speak his own thought, and work out for himself the prob lem of lite! Here, in these glorious valleys of tho West, wo are to imitate these deeds. The individual rather than a party the individual rather than the church. I am afraid that we lack the nervo and charity hero to carry out thcso ideas. Let every ono resolve to think, act, speak for himself. A man should not bow down to majorities or mobs, but hold fast to his own faith, and be true to his own thought, though all tho parties in the world, and all the sects in the church, should pronounce anathemas upon his head. Let this bo our motto, men and women trom isew England, and the God of our fathers shall be our God and our guide forever! 8. Tho rcmcmhrnnco of our early homos; and tho memo ry of our early friends. Response by Gen. II. B. Carrington. The sentiment which requires response from me, comes so heavily laden with memories of tics that arc the earliest with winch man is bound to earth and earthly fellowships, that the soul is lost lor terms in which to utter forth its tender appreciation of such a theme. Its very mention is fraught with all those hallowed associations which cluster about the birlh-place, and impart to the locality itself, something of tho preciousness which belongs fo the domcstio fire-side and its household divinities. In every haunt of boyhood's sport, from tho high nnd spacious garret where the rainy days wero whilcd away, to the most secluded stream, where, with untiring zeal, tho speckled trout was sought, these recall memories that die noil Their voico floats sweetly down tho years by-gone, to tell of freshness, innocenco and peace. It is the oft told talc ot childhood s dream, where the sunshine is unceasing, and the shadows, (noon-day shadows only) arc tram pled under foot. Old age itself, delights in the recollection, and faces, names and dates, return with new and softening grace, to refresh the soul which has done with its mid-life labors, and prepares for its departure. But thero is another sphere, in which, soft ened and shaped by such associations, the soul rises into a new and more vigorous life. It is that, wherein tho law of human labor, which governs all and excincs none, takes hold of man and transplants him to his individual field of toil where man struggles with the stern realities of life, but where that most absorbing aud endearing of all earthly ties, comes in with all its crowning attributes, to bless and cheer ns on! Precious are the memories of olden times! But wo no less delight in tho experiences of the present, and love the allies with whom we stand Bhouldcrtoshouldcr in life'sbattle-sccncs, becauso wo commemorate those interests and issues with which our individual and national life is so closely joined. Nay, rather ns we honor the Fathers, and embalm their good deeds in memory's keeping, as we give place to the tender recollections of childhood's scenes, and yield to those emotions which affect the most stolid soul, we shall all, whatever our origin or birth-place, rejoice in this land of our adoption-cherish her institutions, maintain her fair fame, and welcome the sentiment which I tender for your acceptance:The Buckeye State Our adopted Home, and the dear associations which link us lndissolubly to its glory and it destiny.
