But my present engagements preclude me from\\nso doing. I look upon it, as well as upon others of like character, as one of the\\nmost efficient means of promoting historical knowledge a true and generous\\nphilanthropy, and a sound reliable patriotism. Many will be anakened to an en-\\nquiry into the historical facts, which will, probably, for the first time, come home\\nto their knowledge. The Popham celebration in this State, has done more to lead\\nthe minds of our citizens to the study of the early occupation and settlement of\\nMaine, than any one measure that could have been devised.\\nYour city, as well as the boroughs around you, started into being under the most\\nfavorable auspices. Their founders were men of true nobility of soul solid men\\nwho fully comprehended the principles and obligations of an enlightened civiliza-\\ntion; who were cognizant of the rights of humanity, and who regarded a strict\\nadhesion to them, as the only basis of successful enterprise. The fertility of your\\nsoil, and your maritime privileges could not fail in giving speedy physical\\nstrength to your early settlement. So that those who nursed it in the first years of\\nits existence, as one historian at the time well said, were a sober and indus-\\ntrious people, and have the necessary provisions for themselves and families, and\\nfor the comfortable entertainment of strangers and travelers. That is a high\\nrecommendation for any plantation, borough or city. Plenty to eat and plenty\\nto drink, in my view, are very great helps to a vigorous intellect, a sound morality,\\nand successful enterprise and more especially must communities so favored ha.-e\\npresented strong attractions to the men of New England, who Hocked there to aid\\nyou in giving an impetus to the settlement of Newark. Hospitality we are ac-\\ncustomed to reckon as one of the noblest of virtues, especially so when manifested\\nby others toward ourselves.\\nBut the moral influences of your celebration are perhaps more valuable than\\nits historic. For ages past the earth has been but an arena for political and relig-\\nious sectarianism, whereby strife, ill-humor and dissension have been engendered\\nand nourished\u00e2\u0080\u0094 and the progress of an enlightened civilization wofully impeded.\\nOur party conventions, whether civil or religious, are instituted to establisli mark-\\ned, firm barriers against all whose opinions do not accord with our own. Such are\\ncut otr from our sympathies. But there can be no such unholy element in these\\nhistoric gatherings. We meet as those of one great household as inheritors of n\\ncommon countrv, with a common interest in everything which pertains to its his-\\ntory. There are no partv purposes to be subserved\u00e2\u0080\u0094 no individual ambitions to be\\nministered to. Old friendships are here renewed and new ones formed.
