How pleasant* ; when tired with the cores of tit* day, to ' w.itcii the night come slowly on, and ] * the red beams of the setting sun light 1 * ' un the distant mountain, till the grey ' old rocks, the green pines and the un- v trodden snow arc wrapped iu a robe of ; * glory. The brillinut hues gradually t fade away till therwfc loft only a golden 1 halo on tho mountain top. Thus it is 1 with the soul as the day of life nenrs its c close. The things of yoath lose their • diitinctneau. the brightness and beauty ■ of the scenes of earth arc dimmed by 1 the cares of life which intervene as they * recede fart bar into the past, till at last < tiiere is left no light bin bright rays ' from the Sun of Righteousness gilding ' the hill tops of Immortality, to which ! the worn spirit draws near. 1 A little later, and lliu twilight deep- 1 ens till -every tiling becomes of one dnlt ■ grey, and tlarkhe*.* covers the earth like I that Charity which hidulh a inu'ailude ' ct sins. 1 Oho little star peeps out beside the j inoon, who in her wild i canty throws a i silver sheen over nil, like the genlle in- < » liuences (fiffustd l»y~ YKtiie "pure" "Tptritrri who sometimes linger among ns like angels in disguise.

One guides his barquo by the light of that polp star upon which we looked together iu our borne by the deep. It was not strange that a man whose abiding-phcc was by ilte sounding sea ; who saw it iu summer's cairn and winter's storm, should choose "a life on the ocean wave bat ihongh his vessel pkws the waters of distant eliim.*, and the Blgrs and stripes . .float alike in the* perfumed breezes of Orient, and the chiii blasts of the north, •till the memory of home is iu his heart, and tho light of Bethlehem's star in guiding him to a harbour in liemveu. ; The same siars upon which wc jjozc, ■look dowu upon the farrowed surface of "God's field" on th* hill-side.

He w«s too . frail to bear the chill and care of earth, and his ronoded limbs grew thin, and bis -dimpled cheek was sunken, and bis eyo grew brighter, till they outshone the -el opt iu the summer sky.

My; That tbe Statu might meet the duty devolved on it by reason of the oxtended rebellion that exists against tho Federal Government, It became, inrayoplniou, ] proper that I should, under the power j vested in me, convene tho Legislature. I need not trace the history of onr present national troubles. We nil know it, and as one event after another, dci structive in iu tendency to the government of the nation, has transpired, we I I bavo fell each to he a private sorrow and ■ | personal wrong. Our citizens respect ; | and love the Union t>f the States, and { J the constitution and laws of tho nation, : ■ with an Inloosity uu.-urpasscd by thode- j I : vollon of any people. In the fronts j i ; that resulted in the formation of this nn- - tion this State did its part, and has evi er since respected every constitutional - right. It bus manifested, without dis- ■ tinction of party, by its votes in Con- : gress and in convention, a disposition i j to make concessions for peace, without r a too scrupulous inquiry whether such » concessions were due. The people, ops predating the truth that the hopes of ) Human Freedom and Happiness, ol ? Progress and Christianity, not only for I this county, but to some degree for the c world, were centered in this National e Government, huvf felt that its mainle- - I nance was a stake too priceless to be im0 { perilled by any controversy that could u I possibly bo avoided. i But when this pmific disposition wet

• with no response — when scnumeuu sub- | j versive of all government were boastful- ! 1 uttered iu Congress — when thn coin- j u mon property of all was wantonly up- ^ • preprinted by - individual States — wi,™ r our Forts and Mint, aud Revenue \ : . sels and Military Stores were seized, 1 n | that they might he used to the destrue- ■ c i tion of our government and' of the lives q of thosc<who were to defend it-wbtn, un- t " der the pretentious assumption of issuing c ! of Marque and Reprisal*, piroii- j v | c:il crafts wcro incited to prey upon our i { I peaceful coiumercc, protected only by ' ( tho immunity of its nationality — when j] i «n unarmed vessel, laden with nroris- II 1 Ions for the destitute, and hearing the h j national ensign, was fired upon, and tyhen I' sutuli company of loyal men, weaken- c' ; ed by long confinement, and almost tits w ! titule of provisions, were attacked by { vastly superior, jmmbers, and for hours the Jflag of our Country assailed— and j, when, finally, an attack upon the Capi- ' li tol of the Nation, its .insignia ar.il ur- ochives, was threatened and prepared for, ; a ana the Jcyul people of the nation were " denied permission togo forward to itt de» ' '' ■ then a spirit was aroused in New |r Jersey which does not dishonor her cvr- ^ history. That spirit knows no pa. tv ^ distinctions — is nuitu&tcd by no section- 1 a I r.l animosity, but is a loyal and patriotic ! u devotion to the inheritance of our Fa- < fr there. , " '• ' r* * If the conciliatory disposition man!- 11 by the i-itir.rna of this State has ' J ' be iu: tortured uuvwicre into cvid-.-nvw. a Hurt our people are less prepared to ; ,, • make sacrifice and endure trial for the { „ mqintenancc of t lie Federal Government ■ t than are other States, I can confidently • s appeal to the present and to the future : h for the refutation mf that ert'or.
