Book Description
Excerpt from Programme for Celebrating the Centennial Anniversary of American Independence on the Third and Fourth of July, 1876: By the People of Jersey City, With the Oration by the Hon. Charles H. Winfield, of Jersey City One Century gone! When measured by events, how dim grows the distance; how far away in the past begins our history. The third of the Georges then sat upon England's throne, and his government had scarcely recovered from its fright caused by Wolfe Tone and his Irish rebellion. Catherine ruled the wild hordes of Russia, and dis membered Poland yet quivered in the paws of the imperial tigers who tore her asunder. Frederick the Great sat upon the throne of Prussia and led her victorious armies. Not yet seven years of age was the boy who was to make playthings of crowns and write upon the page of history the names of Austerlitz, Jena, Eck_muhl and Wagram. Over the continent of Europe the rights of kings were firmly established, and if there were doubts as to the divine origin of those rights, the power to make good those doubts and shake those rights was wanting. Nowhere were the people in the dignity of man hood. Nowhere had they broken the bonds of feudalism. Their whole duty was to do and die for the King, their lord. Night, deep, dull and starless rested upon the masses. Only in France the people began to show signs of impatience. But, alas, untaught to distin guish liberty from licentiousness, when the day of their freedom dawned, it was only to behold the same despotism transferred from the King to the mob, and as much worse, as a herd of infuriated beasts is more dangerous than one. Here only, on this new con tinent, uncursed by the despotism of feudal law, far removed from the tendencies of monarchical theories, were destined to be established a government and a nation unique in history. Properly to understand this government, let us enquire what man ner of people settled these colonies, and what were the forces moving towards a government based on the fundamental principles of liberty.

Excerpt from Souvenir and Official Programme of the Centennial Celebration of George Washington's Inauguration as First President of the United States The Constitution. i. Tyrant winter's icy fetters, wherewith Alpine heights are belted, Under God's free summer sunshine fall away. Slowly, surely as the season comes, his massive chains are melted, And a single drop is born of every ray; Then confluent in their currents sing the little brooklets hurrying To unite and form a torrent in its power, Rushing headlong down the mountain, every opposition burying, Growing stronger and yet stronger hour by hour, Till at last their force is gathered in the broad and placid river Flowing noiselessly and steadily along, Messenger of peace and plenty from the glorious All-giver, Though it moves without a roar, without a song. II. So, in genesis of nations swells the human tide forever Of resistance to the wrongs on which men brood, Trickling first, then drop by drop of individual endeavor, Finding volume till there falls a mighty flood. Strong enough to move a thousand mills if Titans could but store it, Making chasms out of each and every crack, Sweeping many an ancient barrier from the course that lies before it, Leaving chaos - but a pathway - in its track; Then its violence is swallowed in a People's peaceful yearning For respect which only dignity can draw, And the Freedom-loving spirit, noisy effervescence spurning, Finds its triumph in the fixed domain of Law. III. Fitly we commemorate with stirring songs of exultation Revolution's call to arms, our bells all ring, Peal of cannon, burst of fireworks, brings to mind the Declaration, Which renounced allegiance to Britain's King, But the birth of statehood in our peerless written Constitution Calls for heartfelt paeans of deeper music now. That we see in it the final unimpeached and sure solution Of the governmental problem, all allow. Thence arose the system under which a proud and fearless nation Swears to guarantee the weakest in his right; Hymns of praise unto Jehovah dedicate our celebration, The centennial of a dawn that has no night!
