Abstract Report of Rev. IllIr. Chapims
ORA'l‘i0lV.
Rev. E. H. Clnapin was introduced,
and proceeded to deliver an_ oration an
hour in length, full of pleasant hits, sal-
ient poimg in history and brilliant peri-
ods in rhetoric. Addressing his auditors
under the title of “fellow-ci'izen=,” the
words gave occasion for an exordium.--
These familiar words of gri-etiug, (he re-
marked.) indicate the tenor of the invi-
tation, agreeably to which] now ad-
dress you, and they suggest the limits of
my theme. I have been requested to de-
liver here to-day “an old-fashioned, pat-
riotic, Fourth-of-July Oratiou.” The
mere acceptance of such a proposition ex-
poses one to the iinputatir.-n of extreme
inexperience or marvelous impudence.—
True, this is an age of remarkable inge-
nuity and daring; crowded with new
working-instruments and new motive-
power, steam engines and reaping ma-
chines, telegraph-5, and ear-trumpets.--
One man strolls about at his case under
water. Another sits down to a minute
inspection of the topography of the moon.
VVliile a third picks up an entire flock of
planets, straggling here and there with-
in the enclosures of the solar system,—
But amid all this commotion and discov-
ery, I should like to hear of the man
who, for the last fifty years, has invent-
ed or discovered such a thing as an orig-
inal Fourth ofJuly Oration. [Laughtcr.]
Nevertheless, in occupying my present
position, I am neither unsophisticated
or presumptuous ; I comprehend the
magnitude of my task, and, while under-
taking it, fall back upon those qiiclifyinig
words “old-fasliioned” and “patriotic.”
You do not require originality of me,
upon the present occasion; but, rather,
sacred truth, and genuine, fervid Ameri-
can sentiment. And notwitlistauding all
the excellent uses to wlnich this day is put,
for the carrying forward of specific move-
ments, I (‘.Ol1f'?5s that I am partial to the
way in which you propose to celebrate
it here. I know some feople are very
sqnieamish about the Fourth of July.—-
Tlncy profess to alnonninnate it, and to
laugh at it; they draw grotesqnie pictures
of its fury and connfusion, the six pound-
ers and the liberty-poles, the spi'1ii'c-beer

and the fire-crackers. the dust and the

tionns of the future,—and the tlnrcefold 5
constituents which, growing outof tlnc.-c -
facts, intake up the American sentiment
-—the sentiment. most appropriate to this
day—-are Gratitude, Eflort, and Fain/z-.
Every American citizen, and every one
who sympathizes with the great senti-
ment of the Fourth ofJuly, acknowledges
the past history of our country with graz-
rrude. The feeling is inseparable from
the day. Beyond these tokens of pres-
ent prosperity, beyond these startling
and splendid aspects of the time, ; beyond
these teeming cities and unasted wharves,
and thick-sown villages, we look to the
“time which tried unen’o souls," and to
those who, on the edge of hazard, and
in the front of oppression, pledged their
“lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor,”-—and we point proudly to that
history. VVe agree not only in the rec-
titude of their work, but in nine value of
the inheritance which they have be-
qu».-athed us. Liberty! Liberty com-
bined with Law. Liberty nourished by
all the elcnients of Christian civilizatiotn.
Ask where is the Nation or Governnmcnnt
that boasts a premier origin than our
o\vn '-.' The record is not covered up in
mystic obscurity. Tlne principle which
underlies the system of our Government
is held up in the sight of all men. \\'c
may point to the sincerity the self sacri-
fice, the long patriotism, with which our
fathers carried forward the Ark entrus-
ted to them, annd brought it to this prom- E
ised land. All our great. blessings are

cade of the green woods, and drinks in
the blessings of the blue sky, is able
rightly to appreciate the greatness of the
boon he enjoys.

As a people we lack reverence. TVe
are in danger of rendering an exclusive
homage to the present. The dweller inn
European lands walks ccntinually among
suggestions of other ages, and other men.
Monuments, battle-fields, institutions are
spreadthick around him ; and he breathe.-
the air of quainttradition and memorable
story. All Europe, in fact, is one va.~l
catliedral, flushed with legend, and over-
wlielmcd with suggestive centuries. It.-
walls are covered with inscriptions, and
hung with broken arms and tattered
- Its uiclies are crowded wiiln cili-

-'lrum.°, the fti.-niani and the featliers, the

Dear Brother :—-I sit down to iwrnle to
you some account of the sad, awlu
scenes which lnave been exlnnbitejtl in this
once-pleasant and delightful towh now,
alas, a sad spectacle of dcsolativ.-ii and
woe. *

It was in the beginning of wheat har-
vest, a season of extruordinnary labor and
festivity; a season which proinised the

many years, if within the lli‘:nt.".):_l,-' of
man. Never did our fields bear jso pou-
deroiis a. load, never were our prospects
with regard to su.-tte:nance so bright.

The British fleet and arnnny, with the
American Refugees that had ‘:)(:$Sl.‘(l and
plundered New Haven], set sa-l from that
distressed place on the sixth inistanzt.

About 4 o’clock the in-xt nii,ii'i;ini-_i' tl.e
approach of the fleet was ‘dllflUllll;‘t'(.l by
the firing of a gun front ti ;~m:nll fort we

were, lnowever, exceedirigly abusive, es-
pecially to women. Soiine were forced
to subunit. to the molt indelicate and
rough treatment in def nice of their vir-

conflict.

About an hour before sunset the con-
flagration began at tl e house of .Mr.
Isaac .Tennings, whicl was consumed
with the neighboring b ildings, In the
evening the house of lijah Abel, Esq.,
sheriff of the county, w s consumed with
.1 few others. In the ight several buil-
dings iii the Main St,ect. Gen. Tryon
was in various parts of the town-plot,
with the good wonnefi begging him to
spare their houses. William Sayre, the
Church of England lilissionary, a gentle-
man firmly andj zealously engaged in the
British interests, and who has suffered
considerably in the/ir cause joined with
themjin tlieiréentrelaties; he begged the

Genndral to spare the town, that was de-
iiied.=_ 1-Ie then (begged that some few
houses might :be shared as a shelter for
those who coiild provide habita-

so. length 'l'r.§‘on consented to leave
the bi ildings of Burr and the writer
of ihl . Both had been plundered ere
this. He said, likewise, that the house
for p lic \vorslifp should be spared. He
was f r from being in good temper during
the ilvliole affair. General Garth at the
othcrleud of the town, treated the in.
liabitzinis with as nnuch humanity as his
errand would admit.

At siinirise some considerable part. of
the loivn was s ainding, but in two hours
the flainnes beclinne general. The burn-

it is the duty of the select men to retain
