Excerpt from The Memory of Washington: An Oration Such were the scenes and lessons of that day; and now when two years have passed, and we find our selves in the midst of great historic events, I would fain behold those scenes re-enacted, and have those lessons more distinctly impressed. There is a deep and practical significancy now in every effort made to the honor of Washington's memory. There has long been manifest a growing disposition in the American mind, to do ample justice to the character and deeds of the first and greatest of our heroes. Let this dis position now develop and culminate in these days, when we so sorely feel the need of another Washing ton. Next in value to the state of his august pres ence in her councils, is a proper appreciation by the people of the merits of his lofty character. And the worth of his patriotic deeds.
