eighty odd years since, on the Fourth of July, for the first 416 THE LIFE, PUBLIC SERVICES, AND time, in the history of the world, a nation, by its representatives, assem bled and declared as a self-evident truth, "that all men are created equal. " That was the birthday of the United States of America. Sinco then the Fourth of July has had several very peculiar recognitions. The two men most distinguished in the framing and support of the Declara tion were Thomas Jefferson and John Adams the on...e having penned it, and the other sustained it the most forcibly in debate the only two of the fifty-five who signed it, and were elected Presidents of the United States.

Another President, five years after, was called from this stage of existence on the same day and month of the year; and now on this last Fourth of July, just passed, when we have a gigantic rebellion, at the bottom of which is an effort to overthrow the principle that all men were created equal, we have the surrender of a most powerful position and army on that very day.
