. The Londonderry celebration.

We have Common Schoolsand Trial by Jury left, and we can afford to fight fifty yearslonger rather than give them up. Burke said the chief end of government was twelve lion-est, intelligent men in the juiy-box to decide all contestedissues. Li the same spirit I hold that, so long as vre canmaintain common schools free to all children, and be tol-erably sure of twelve fair men in the jury-box when issuesof fact are to be tried, so long will our country remain alighthouse to tlie nations and a star of hope to the op-pressed throughout the world. And so long, I trust, willour people gather on anniversaries like this, to honor thevirtues of their ancestors and hand down the fame of theirgrand achievements to their latest posterity. IONSL.
