Commencement Week

The exercises opened at 10 o'clock oa 'uesday morning, University hall benig well fllled with students and their friends rom abroad. The flrst exercise ia order was an oration by J. F. Gallaher of Hillsale. He told how circumstances made ations either friendly or hogtile, also no poch of the world's history could a finer eld ot' study be discovered than tho time when the United States were workingout leir own salvation, together witu the eriod of 100 years following the declaraon of independence. America and England have great pointi f dissimilarity as well as of likeness. America has a contempt for royalty, Euland dotes on it. While both countries lave the same language, and draw their rinciplesof law f rom the samefountaia ïead. If circumstances were otherwiso than ïey had been both nations would have ever dravvn swords against each other. At present the greatest amity exists beween the two, ai is well shown by the nterchange of sympatby which took )lace when Guiteau took the lile of our eloved president ; and also when a owardly assassin aiined at the heart of úeen Victoiia. It was British capital that colonized America, and our populatiou was largely made up of Emjlishmen. They had earned tolove their rights, when at home, ïey cherish tliem still, and when Orcat ritan attempted to abridge tlitir rights, every men natives of England, re sted most vigorously. AVe were shut out l all trade, our industries hampered and rushed by England's shoie-righted policy. It is strange we ever carne out of the ruggle successf ully. But it was because f the attitude of the oiher nations of iurope towards England that forced her o make terms with us. After the revolution Frauce called us to id her in a struggle ugainst England. Out of these cali for aid, arose the Jay treaty ; it was born of necessity. ,However we were justly iudignant to think that Snglaud should díctate to us Ihe regulauu of our trade. Out of tuis arose the war of 1812. England's next attitude towards us was taken duriug the war of the rebellion She was not in a very friendly niood because she believed the United States to be oppressing the south. Such have boea tbe j;reat events in the hislory rising from the struggles of the two eountries. There is 110 need of auy hate on the part of either . Both couutries admire each other. We draw inspiration, during our great struggles to crush evilb in our government, from the contest of old England. We Americans must not believe that a uutiou can watch the heights of greatness, from a simple study of a butrod ideas. Let us take the hand of England in a friendly grasp. Let us work together until all nations arrive at that condition of affairs picturcd by 'Penny on ; " Where the war drum throbbed no longer, and the battle flags were furled, In the parliament of man, the Federation of the world." After the oration a poem was read by F. H. Baker of Goshen Ind. lts subject was, The Beauties of Frieudship. Lack of space pievents our giving it. AKTEBNOON EXKBCISK8.
