Sons of the youth and the truth of the nation, — Ye that are met to remember the man Whose valor gave birth to a people's salvation, — Honor him now ; set his name in the van. A nobleness to try for, A name to live and die for — The name of Washington ! Calmly his face shall look down through the ages - Sweet yet severe with a spirit of warning ; Charged with the wisdom of saints and of sages ; Quick with the light of a life-giving morning. A majesty to try for, A name to live and die for — The name of Washington ! Though faction may rack us, or party divide us. And bitterness break the gold links of our story. Our father and leader is ever beside us. Live and forgive ! But forget not the glory Of him whose height we try for; A name to live and die for — The name of Washington ! Still in his eves shall be mirrored our fleeting Days, with the image of days long ended ; Still shall those eyes give, immortally, greeting Unto the souls from his spirit descended. II is grandeur we will try for ; His name we'll live and die for — The name of Washington ! Geo. Parsons Lath hop.

New York City, May 2, 1884. (16] THE Constitution of the General Society, It being evident, from a steady decline of a proper celebra- tion of the National holidays of the United States of Amer- ica, that popular concern in the events and men of the war of the Revolution is gradually declining, and that such lack of interest is attributable, not so much to the lapse of time and the rapidly increasing flood of immigration from foreign countries, as to the neglect on the part of descendants of Revolutionary heroes to perform their duty in keeping be- fore the public mind the memory of the services of their ancestors and of the times in which they lived ; therefore, the Society of the Sons of the Revolution has been instituted to perpetuate the memory of the men, who, in the military, naval and civil service of the Colonies and of the Conti- nental Congress, by their acts or counsel, achieved the Inde- pendence of the country, and to further the proper celebra- tion of the anniversaries of the birthday of Washington, and of prominent events connected with the war of the Rev- olution ; to collect and secure for preservation the rolls, IS records and other documents relating to that period ; to inspire the members of the Society with the patriotic spirit of their forefathers ; and to promote the feeling of friend- ship among them. The General Society shall be divided into State Societies, which shall meet annually on the day appointed therefor in their respective by-laws, and oftener if found expedient ; and at such annual meeting the reasons for the institution of the Society shall be considered, and the best measures for carrying them into effect adopted. The State Societies at every annual meeting shall choose a president, a vice-president, a secretary, a registrar, a treas- urer, a chaplain, and such other officers as may by them respectively be deemed necessary, and a board of managers, all of whom shall retain their respective positions until their successors are duly chosen. Each State Society shall cause to be transmitted annu- ally or oftener to the other State Societies, a circular letter calling attention to whatever may be thought worthy of observation respecting the welfare of the Society or of the general union of the States, and giving information of the officers chosen for the year ; and copies of these letters shall also be transmitted to the General Secretary to be preserved among the records of the General Society. The State Societies shall regulate all matters respecting their own affairs, consistent with the general good of the Society ; judge of the qualification of their members or of those proposed for membership, subject, however, to the pro- visions of this Constitution ; and expel any member, who, by conduct unbecoming a gentleman or a man of honor, or by an opposition to the interests of the community in general or of the Society in particular, may render himself unworthy to continue in membership. 19 In order to form funds that may be respectable, each mem- ber shall contribute upon his admission to the Society and annually thereafter, such sums as the by-laws of the respec- tive State Societies may require ; but any of such State Societies may provide for the endowment of memberships by the payment of proper sums in capitalization, which sums shall be properly invested as a permanent fund, the income only of which shall be expended. The regular meeting of the General Society shall be held every three years, and special meetings may be held upon the order of the General President or upon the request of two of the State Societies, and such meetings shall consist of the General Officers and a representation not exceeding five deputies from each State Society, and the necessary expenses of such meeting shall be borne by the State So- cieties. At the regular meeting, a General President, Vice-Presi- dent, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, and Chaplain shall be chosen by a majority of the votes present, to serve until the next regular general meeting, or until their successors are duly chosen. At each general meeting the circular letters which have been transmitted by the several State Societies shall be con- sidered, and all measures taken which shall conduce to the general welfare of the Society. The General Society shall have power at any meeting to admit State Societies thereto, and to entertain and determine all questions affecting the qualifications for membership in or the welfare of any State Society as may by proper memorial be presented by such State Society for considera- tion. Any male person above the age of twenty-one years, of good character, and a descendant of one who, as a military, 20 naval or marine officer, soldier, sailor or marine, in actual service, under the authority of any of the thirteen Colonies or States or of the Continental Congress, and remaining always loyal to such authority, or a descendant of one who signed the Declaration of Independence, or of one who, as a member of the Continental Congress or of the Congress of any of the Colonies or States, or as an official appointed by or under the authority of any such legislative bodies, actu- ally assisted in the establishment of American Independence by services rendered ,'during the war of the Revolution, becoming thereby liable to conviction of treason against the government of Great Britain, but remaining always loyal to the authority of the Colonies or States, shall be eligible to membership in the Society. The Secretary of each State Society shall transmit to the General Secretary a list of the members thereof, together with the names and official designations of those from whom ;such members 1 derive claim to membership, and thereafter upon the admission of members in each State Society, the Secretary thereof shall transmit to the General Secretary information respecting such members similar to that herein required. The Society shall have an insignia, which shall be a badge suspended from a ribbon by a ring of gold ; the badge to be elliptical in form, with escaloped edges, one and one- quarter inches in length, and one and one-eighth inches in width ; the whole surmounted by a gold eagle, with wings displayed, inverted ; on the obverse side a medallion of gold in the centre, elliptical iu form, bearing on its face the figure of a soldier in Continental uniform, with musket slung ; beneath, the figures 1775 ; the medallion surrounded by thirteen raised gold stars of five points each upon a border .of dark blue enamel. On the reverse side in the centre a 21 medallion corresponding in form to that on the obverse, and also in gold, bearing on its face the Houdon portrait of Washington in bas-relief, encircled by the legend, "Sons of the Revolution ;" beneath, the figures 1883 ; and upon the reverse of the eagle the number of the badge to be en- graved ; the medallion to be surrounded by a plain gold border, conforming in dimensions to the obverse ; the ribbon shall be dark blue, ribbed and watered, edged with buff, one and one-half inches wide, and one and one-half inches in displayed length. The insignia of the Society shall be worn by the members on all occasions when they assemble as such for any stated purpose or celebration, and may be worn on any occasion of ceremony ; it shall be carried conspicuously on the left breast, but members who are or have been officers of the Society may wear the insignia suspended from the ribbon around the neck. The custodian of the insignia shall be the General Secre- tary, who shall issue them to members of the Society under such proper rules as may be formulated by the General Society, and he shall keep a register of such issues wherein each insignia issued may be identified by the number thereof. The seal of the Society shall be one and seven-eighths inches in diameter, and shall consist of the figure of a Min- ute-man in Continental uniform, standing on a ladder lead- ing to a belfry ; in his left hand he holds a musket and an olive branch, whilst his right grasps a bell-rope ; above, the cracked Liberty Bell ; issuing therefrom a ribbon bearing the motto of the Society, Exegi monumentum cereperennius ; across the top of the ladder on a ribbon, the figures 1776 ; and on the left of the Minute-man, and also on a ribbon, the figures 1883, the year of the formation of the Society ; the whole encircled by a band three-eighths of one inch wide ; thereon at the top thirteen stars of five points each ; at the bottom the name of the General Society, or of the State Society to which the seal belongs. Society OF THE Sons of the Revolution In the State of New York. Instituted - - - February 22, 1876. Reorganized - - December 3, 1883. Incorporated - - - May 3, 1884. Constitution. preamble. Whereas, it has become evident from the decline of proper celebration of such National holidays as the Fourth of July, Washington's Birthday, and the like, that popular interest in the events and men of the War of the Revolu- tion is less than in the earlier days of the Republic ; And Whereas, this lack of interest is to be attributed not so much to lapse of time as to the neglect on the part of descendants of Revolutionary heroes to perform their duty of keeping before the public mind the memory of the services of their ancestors, and of the times in which they lived, and of the principles for which they contended ; Therefore, the Society of the "Sons of the Revo- lution" has been instituted, to perpetuate the memory 24 of the men who, in military, naval or civil service, by their acts or counsel, achieved American Independence ; to pro- mote and assist in the proper celebration of the anniver- saries of Washington's Birthday, the Battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill, the Fourth of July, the Capitulations of Saratoga and Yorktown, the formal Evacuation of New York by the British Army, on the 3d of December, 1783, as a relinquishment of territorial sovereignty, and other prominent events relating to or connected with the War of the Revolution ; to collect and secure for preservation the manuscript rolls, records and other documents and memorials relating to that War ; to inspire among the members and their descendants the patriotic spirit of their forefathers ; to inculcate in the community in general sen- timents of Nationality and respect for the principles for which the patriots of the Revolution contended ; to assist in the commemorative celebration of other great historical events of National importance, and to promote social inter- course and the feeling of fellowship among its members. ARTICLE I. Ittame of Society. The Society shall be known by the name, style and title of " Sons of the Revolution." ARTICLE II. dfcembcrsbip. Any male person, above the age of twenty-one years, shall be eligible to membership in the "Sons of the Revo- lution " who is descended from an ancestor, as the propos- itus, who, either as a military, naval or marine officer, soldier, sailor, or marine, or official in the service of any 20 one of the thirteen original Colonies or States, or of the National Government representing or composed of those Colonies or States, assisted in establishing American Inde- pendence during the War of the Revolution, between the 19th day of April, 1775, when hostilities commenced, and the 19th day of April, 1783, when they were ordered to cease. Provided : That when the claim of eligibility is based on the service of an ancestor in the "minute men" or "militia," it must be satisfactorily shown that such ances- tor was actually called into the service of the State or United States, and performed garrison or field duty ; and Provided further : That when the claim of eligibility is based on the service of an ancestor as a "sailor" or "marine," it must in like manner be shown that such ser- vice was other than shore duty and regularly performed in the Continental Navy, or the Navy of one of the original thirteen States, or on an armed vessel, other than a mer- chant ship, which sailed under letters of marque and reprisal, and that such ancestor of the applicant was duly enrolled in the ship's company, either as an officer, seaman, or otherwise than as a passenger ; and Provided further : That when the claim of eligibility is based on the service of an ancestor as an " official," such service must have been performed in the civil service of the United States, or of one of the thirteen original States, and must have been sufficiently important in character to have rendered the official specially liable to arrest and imprison- ment, the same as a combatant, if captured by the enemy, as well as liable to conviction of treason against the Gov- ernment of Great Britain. Service in the ordinary duties of a civil office, the per- formance of which did not particularly and effectively aid the American Cause shall not constitute eligibility. 26 Provided further : That when there shall be no surviv- ing issue in direct lineal succession from an officer, soldier, sailor or marine who died or was killed while in actual ser- vice as aforesaid, or from an officer who received, by for- mal resolve, the approbation of the Continental Congress for revolutionary services, or from a Signer of the Declara- tion of Independence, the claim of eligibility shall descend and be limited to one representative at a time in the near- est collateral line of descent from such propositus, who may be otherwise qualified as herein required, and to be designated by the Society ; and no other descendants in collateral lines shall be admitted in right of any services whatever. In the construction of this article, the Volunteer Aides de Camp of General Officers in Continental Service, who were duly announced as such and who actually served in the field during a campaign, shall be comprehended as having performed qualifying service. The Civil officials and military forces of the State of Ver- mont, during the War of the Revolution, shall also be com- prehended in the same manner as if they had belonged to one of the thirteen original States. No service of an ancestor shall be deemed as qualifying service for membership in the "Sons of the Revolution" where such ancestor, after assisting in the cause of Ameri- can Independence, shall have subsequently either adhered to the enemy, or failed to maintain an honorable record throughout the War of the Revolution. No person shall be admitted unless he be eligible under one of the provisions of this Article nor unless he be of good moral character and be judged worthy of becoming a member. 27 ARTICLE III. Officers. The officers of the Society of the "Sons of the Revo- lution" shall be a President, a Vice-President, a Secre- tary, a Treasurer, a Registrar, and a Chaplain, who shall be chosen by ballot at every annual meeting from among the members thereof. ARTICLE IV. 3Boaro of dftanagers. The Board of Managers of the Society shall be fifteen, namely : the President, the Vice-President, the Secretary, the Treasurer, the Registrar, and the Chaplain, ex-officio, and nine others who shall be chosen by ballot at every annual meeting from among the members of the Society. ARTICLE V. Bomtseton of Members. Every application for membership shall be made in writ- ing, subscribed by the applicant, and approved by two mem- bers over their signatures. Applications shall contain, or be accompanied by, proof of eligibility, and such applications and proofs shall be submitted to the Board of Managers, who shall have full power to determine the qualifications of the applicant. Payment of the initiation fee and subscription to the declaration required by the Constitution of this Society shall be a pre-requisite of membership. ARTICLE VI. Declaration. Every member shall declare upon honor that he will endeavor to promote the purposes of this Institution and observe the " Constitution " and " By-Laws " of this Society,, and, if he be a citizen of the United States, shall declare that he will support the Constitution of the United States. Such declaration shall be in writing, and subscribed by the mem- ber making it. ARTICLE VII. Institution Consioereo. At every meeting the purposes of the Institution will be fully considered and the best measures to promote them adopted. No question, however, involving the party politics of the Day within the United States shall ever be discussed or considered in any meeting of the "Sons of the Revo- lution." ARTICLE VIII. Commemorations. It shall be a standing Regulation that the members shall, when practicable, hold a commemorative celebration and dine together at least once every year. ARTICLE IX. Seal. The seal of the Society of the " Sons of the Revolu- tion " shall be one and seven-eighths of an inch in diameter, and shall consist of the figure of a " Minute-man " in Con- tinental uniform, standing on a ladder leading to a belfry, and holding in his left hand a musket and an olive branch, and grasping in his right hand a bell-rope. Above, the cracked "Liberty bell"; issuing therefrom a ribbon, bear- ing the motto of the "Sons of the Revolution": " Exegi Monumentum ^Ere Perennius."

ARTICLE X. Insignia. The insignia of the "Sons of the Revolution" shall consist of a badge pendant from the ribbon by a ring of gold. The badge shall be elliptical in form, with escaloped edges, one and one-quarter inches in length, and one and 30 •one-eighth inches in width; the whole surmounted by a gold eagle, with wings displayed, inverted. On the obverse side a medallion of gold in the centre, elliptical in form, bearing on its face the figure of a soldier in Continental uni- form, with musket slung.

In such election the polls shall be open one and one-half hours, and a majority of the ballots given for any office or for a manager shall constitute a choice therefor ; but. if on the first ballot no member shall receive such a majority, then a further balloting, in such case, shall forthwith take place, in which a plurality of votes given shall determine the choice therefor. During any election the regular Order of Business may be proceeded with. Special meetings shall be held by direction of the Board of Managers, or upon the written request of thirty members 43 of the Society, at such time and place as said Board may direct. At such special meeting no business shall he trans- acted except such as shall be specified in the notice therefor.

An Address ON "Ticonderoga: or the Defeat of the Old World in the New," DELIVERED AT THE BERKELEY LYCEUM, MONDAY, MAY u, 1891, BEFORE THE SOCIETY, By Professor Henry P. Johnston. Me. President and Members of the %> Society op the Sons of the Revolution." Ladies and Gentlemen : In his noble addi*ess at the dedication of Bunker Hill monument nearly seventy years since, Daniel Webster, rising into national fame, eulogized the American Revolution as the grandest achieve- ment of modern times — the saving event of the age, shining in relief as a wonder to the nations and a blessing to mankind. Fulsome praise this, we would say, to bestow upon a movement whose effects had yet to mature, and whose resulting political system was hardly accepted as existing beyond its experimental stage. But Webster's estimate, based upon fact and faith and consciousness of American destiny, has been more than con firmed. A wonder and a blessing ! Indulging for a moment in the con- ceit this occasion may justify — where in all history have we had the spectacle of a provincial community bravely breaking its con- nection with a powerful government and venerated associations, and that, too, upon a nice issue of constitutional principle and cabinet policy ; then bounding forward on a great career, vigorous, confi- dent, resourceful, developing by normal processes, expanding rapidly 50 and prodigiously, avoiding disruption by a mighty struggle, and taking its place within the rounded century as one of the leading na- tions of the globe ? And where so much of opportunity for all men ; where such freedom of person and opinion ; where so little felt the finger of authority, and where such regard for authority ; where so much self-respect in every social grade, rooted in the sense of com- mon equality in citizenship; where more confidence in the suf- ficiency of governmental forms ; where any greater disposition shown to expose dangers that may threaten them, and where, in general, any healthier state of society ? For in such things we must speak by comparison. A blessing, also, in the broader sense that we have inspired something like a world-faith in self-government. Not to speak of the acknowledged influence our example has had upon Con- tinental Europe, the branch of the race to which we belong — what we call the Anglo-Saxon — has everywhere felt the leaven and is en- gaged in working out a common problem. In line with our own land to-day stands our Mother Country, England, a monarchy in form, in reality a free representative government. In line stands her great colony, Canada, a confederation of practically self-gov- erning States; and in line stands that more distant but growing group, which is now moving to present itself to the world as the new Commonwealth of Australia. This galaxy of communi- ties, claiming a place in the fore-front of civilization, and rep- resenting a population of one hundred and twenty millions, stands avowedly on the platform of principles of which the American Revolution and the American Constitution are the most prominent exponents. The Anglo-Saxon race, the world over, is to-day in its popular trend and sympathies democratic— in its political forms and relations, republican. To appreciate the full significence of this Revolution we must as- sociate together a series of distinct struggles — we must combine a series of distinct results; and appropriately so on the present anni- versary, for of all the spots endeared to us by the valor and sacri- fices of the men of " Seventy-six," Ticonderoga alone stands forth as the witness and symbol of the conflicts which proved decisive. We remember the Revolution as having assured to us independ- ence and a larger measure of self-government. This was the im- mediate outcome of that struggle, which in turn was a historical development of the English Revolution of 168S, and earlier efforts on 51 the part of Englishmen to limit the prerogative of the Crown- All the way through our ancestral life we meet with the demand for rights and privileges. The American movement stands as the latest step forward in the same line, with the boon of independence super- added — a boon secured through the necessities of the situation. But the Revolution did more than close the traditional dispute with royalty at home. As being fought out on distant soil it bad other relations. It closed and fittingly crowned a succession of struggles waged both in Europe and America affecting the future of the New World. It closed the struggle for possession in America — a matter of the greatest moment to this nation ; for we are apt to forget that our influence and proud position in the eye of the world is due not to our independence and our republican system alone. Our National grandeur lies in our expanse. Not the republic of the United States, but the dominant, the all but illimitable republic is the attraction we present; and this, it will be recalled, has come about not simply through our contest with England in the last century. Turn back to the earlier situation. It is a striking fact in the- history of this Continent — bordering, indeed, upon the romantic — that after its discovery and settlement by four leading powers of Europe — Spain, France, Holland and England — and after successive struggles on their part for supremacy here, it has passed out of the control of all of them. Not since the old Roman world succumbed to the Teutonic invader has there been anything more impressive in the course of events than this release of America from the grasp of Europe. •It had been the dream of the Spaniard that the regions brought to light through the faith of Columbus, and explored with so much zeal and hazard by his successors, would expand his dominions into an empire unmatched in wealth and grandeur, and whose power would overawe every rival. The ground of his hope seemed as good as his title to the soil. His sailors had, in fact, traced out a new world. They first skirted the coasts of South America, mapping it in its present shape as a distinct continent, hitherto unknown. They first crept along the line of the Isthmus and the deep indent- ure of the Gulf of Mexico, dropping into and giving names to the rivers and bays, and they first settled on our eastern and western coasts. The Spaniard planted himself in the West Indies, in South America, in Mexico, in California, and in Florida, asserted his ex- 02 elusive sovereignty over these new regions and gloried in his expan- sion. But his dreams have been disturbed. Fate has handled him without gloves. To-day he owns, save some islauds, not a foot of soil in the vast America he discovered! The Frenchman, also, came this way. Under the buoyant Cartier he pushed northwai'd, looking for a turn in the endless coast, and thus discovered the St. Lawrence. Under Champlain and the Jesuit Fathers he penetrated to the Lakes trading with the natives, groping and wandering as he traded, until lie reached the Mississippi. With a keen relish for exploration he descended the river, paddled up its tributaries, and, for the first time, laid out its course, and opened up that imperial domain we call our interior — the valley of the Mississippi. It once belonged to the Frenchman, and for its retention he struggled desperately. But he lost all. To-day he owns no more here than the Spaniard ! The Dutch had their turn. They came to buy and trade. Claiming un- occupied territory, they settled down in this vicinity in the most natural and comfortable way, laid the foundations of the metropolis of the New World, and in their trade and industries forecast the possibilities of our Empire State. But one day in the midst of their growing prosperity the worst of all the Stuarts turned them out without notice, and, perhaps, without good warrant. The Holland which first cleared this region for us, the Holland which was our first and constant friend in the Revolution, does not now even own an island here! And last, came the Englishman. He did more than all others, for he brought with him a population, settling continuously along our coast for seven hundred miles. He planted villages and towns, organized society, established civil government ; in fact, created a new member for his empire — the American colonies. He crowded or pushed all rivals out. The Spaniard was kept down at the Gulf, the Frenchman yielded to his superior might, the Dutch were made of no account. All went. Destiny, as it was read in the last century, waved the English flag over this continent. But to-day another waves here. All that the Englishman retains on this side is Canada, and he holds that as a sort of confession that he could keep no more ! Here is a succession of events from which a nation-drama, as it were, might be composed, with no lack of material in the way of shifting- scene and effective climax: and we can give it a sounding title — the "Humiliation of Europe in America." 53 If Europe is not here to-day, Europe alone is responsible. Her powers attempted to monopolize Nature's gift of a continent to the world, as they had so often wrested and monopolized territory at home. They overreached themselves, and lost. Europe is not here "because of the soulless, h'on mould in which her course has been forced to run for centuries. Rivalries, jealousies, state-craft, ambi- tion, grasping policies, have been more often than not the springs of the "international incident" there, with retribution following. Proud Spain, for example, with the wealth of the New World in her lap. assumed to dictate, coerce and crush, until her enemies and her rivals, singly and in combination, succeeded in the course of two centuries to trim her plumage and relegate her to the position of a fourth-rate power. Her humiliation came, in part, in the shape of a weakened hold on America by the time of our Revolution, due to her enforced weakness at home. Prance and England succeeded to her supremacy. Then, between these two, came the giant conflicts of the last century, resulting in the expulsion of the French from America. England thus was left supreme. At the close of the Seven Years' War, or our French and Indian war in 1763, the British Empire stood at the height of its power. Influential in Continental diplomacy, mistress of the seas, the foundations of her Indian dominion laid, her American colonies undisturbed by the presence of either France or Holland, and Spain not to be feared, Britain ruled as never before. And what now remained to humble her? What could exclude her from America? It is the same story. Her own Europeanism — traditional Europeanism, as she had imbibed it— explains all. Those Colonies! To her superficial eye they were but part of herself — three million British subjects inconveniently separated from her by an ocean, nothing more. In her pride and blind egotism, England, and we mean here official England, failed to observe that one hun- dred and fifty years of colonial life had eradicated the Old World impress among those people ; that they had cut loose from the past ; that the influence of isolation, throwing them upon their own re- sources, had developed a strong, self-reliant race ; that — derived mainly, it is true, from the root and loins of old England— the new soil, the new clime, the new surroundings, the new self-culture, the new political education, had bred in them something like a variation of the stock. England had failed to observe that in 1775 her colon- 54 ists had grown into a fifth element here, practically native to America and unknown to Europe; and when she came to deal with it, contrast and collision were inevitable. England's exclusive com- mercial policy — not unlike what Spain's had been — her narrow sense of political justice, her ultra views of authority, her Old World self- assertion, brought about the rupture, and we have the American Revolution with its result. The old England, the European England^ was finally excluded herself from these shores. The succession of struggles for possession here was closed, leaving the new American dominant with a noble stretch of territory, from the Lakes to Florida, from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. The certainty of our future ex- pansion was then and there fixed. Spain still lay west and south of us, but Spain was needy and effete, and time would add to our pos- sessions all that we might seek. The Revolution thus brought us into an inheritance of magnifi- cent domain, as well as into the full inheritance of rights, privileges and autonomy. The former has been necessary to impress ourselves and the world with the blessings of the latter. A contracted republic, confined to a strip upon this coast, such as we might have been, had European contests resulted differently, would doubtless be respected, but it could not develop, nor command, nor inspire. Let us rejoice that we have here no "pent-up Utica;" no Switzerland — happy re- public, shining in the heart of Europe, but cooped up in mountain cantons, with her neutrality guaranteed by monai*chies; no Holland of old, with glorious history, in the enjoyment of whose fruits we share, but outstripped and overawed by armed powers on every side ; no isolated city democracies, the pride of antiquity, but doomed to absorption and extinction. No! we, ourselves, and the sympathetic world glory in seeing here not a republic in pigmy form, but an out- stretched colossus, the "wonder" of Webster's anticipation— not a beacon light, but a new and radiant sun, whose blaze and warmth and glowing splendor penetrate to every corner and compel the at- tention and reflection of mankind. Ticonderoga ! Tins society, in whose organization we have a most happy conception realized, fittingly recalls such memories of the Revolution. The great "dead past" of a nation is not dead. As well tell us that the roots of the giant oak are dead, because they are 55 buried under the surface. That never can be dead which alone will account for what Carlyle so beautifully describes as "the leafy, blossoming present." Ticonderoga and all the other fields of that conflict remind us of things done, the atmosphere of whose influence is a living breath tO-day. To us assembled this evening Ticonderoga presents itself in all its historical significance as associated with events and results that have made possible our enormous territorial growth. It plays a striking part in the humiliation of Europe. It recalls the two greatest of the smuggles for possession here. It is the silent witness of the defeat of both France and England in America. The old fortress, now ruined and crumbling, at the southern end of Lake Champlain, has stood there, once rebuilt, for one hundred and thirty-six years. In 1755 the French established themselves at "that point, and put up what Parkman calls "their redoubtable stronghold" with which they expected to command, with other points, the entire lake region, and connect with points to the South and "West that would secure the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys. For four years the contest was carried on for the control of the fortress, in which figured prominently such leaders as Montcalm and Dieskau, Amherst, Abercromby, Sir William Johnson, Howe, Williams and Lyman. In the summer of 1759 success fell to Amherst, and the French lost Ticonderoga and their positions to the northward. This important blow, with Wolfe's signal victory at Quebec in the same year, put the finish to French dominion in America. Our most dangerous contestant for the territory here was expelled, to be followed twenty years later by England herself. What we especially celebrate on this occasion is the second cap- ture of Ticouderoga — its loss to Britain at the outbreak of the Revo- lution, May 10, 1775. While not a leading event as a military achievement, we cannot fail to recall that there have been single in- cidents in history, not fully appreciated at the time, which magnify as they recede and their meaning becomes better understood. Have we not here an illustration ? Certain points then suggest themselves: What place and prominence shall we give the capture of the fortress in the valuation of Revolutionary events ? To whom belongs the credit of conceiving or planning it ? What men won the laurels of "the exploit ? The position of Ticonderoga, in relative importance, was not un- 56 like that of ancient Thermopylae. Both of them were gateways — gateways between northern and southern lands and dominion. Each controlled a situation, and was alike a menace and a defence. Down through memorable and tragic Thermopylae have poured successively Persian, Macedonian, Roman, Gaul and Turk, to .devastate Grecian fields and wipe out Grecian freedom. Around Ticonderoga in ac- tions much less striking in history, true, but scai'cely less significant in results, Frenchman, Englishman and American have played their part. The strategic value of that post, as demonstrated in the French and Indian War, had been enhanced by the time of the Revolution. Powerfully reinforced, and under vigorous military administration, Ticonderoga was capable of becoming a standing source of danger to New York and New England. The same reasons that impelled SO' many men from those sections of the country to march against it in 1758 and '59 would impel still more to march in 1775 and '76. Re- calling the topography of that region, it will be observed that, in British hands, Ticonderoga would have been made the capital point in a chain of posts and fortifications, stretching from the St. Lawrence to the southern end of Lake George, and possibly carried to the Hudson only fifty miles above Albany. With St. John secur- ing the Sorel River to the northward, with a fleet of bateaux and gunboats controlling Lake Champlain; with the strong works at Crown Point restored ; with Ticonderoga and Mount Independence rendered unassailable; with Lake George free and protected by Fort William Henry ; with Canada as a base of supplies, and with the savage as an ally, the position of the enemy would have seriously embarrassed American plans and movements in the northern field. Operating from such a line and front, it would have been possible for the British to undertake or threaten, in each year of the war, what Burgoyne attempted in 1777. They could have moved directly upon Albany, or frequently repeated expeditions like those to Bennington and Oriskany, keeping the settlements in Northern New York, in Vermont, New Hampshire, Western Massachusetts and Connecticut in a chronic state of alarm. As a consequence, those States would have been compelled to provide for a general defence in that quar- ter, and so far have been weakened in ability to contribute men and supplies for the wider Continental demand. This complication could not but have affected unfavorably every campaign of the- Revolution. Fortunately, however, the early capture of Ticonderoga forestalled these unwelcome probabilities, and immediately turned the advantage to the American arm of the balance. Upon the seizure of the fort the colonists moved northward, took possession themselves of Crown Point, sailed the length of Lake Champlain, and by the autumn found Montreal in their hands. Instead of suffering themselves to be crowded back upon their own settlements, they carried the war into the enemy's country. Their strategy was of the highest order, for it pushed the field of immediate operations two hundred miles away from their neighborhood up to the line of the St. Law- rence, and in addition put the enemy on the defensive. Was it not precisely this that Demosthenes urged the Athenians to do when the wily Philip of Macedon threatened descent upon Greece ? " Strengthen our northern colonies," said the great, earnest orator; " fight Philip where he is, at home ! *' But lethargy following a long period of supremacy and fading public spirit had beset Athens, and her citizens could not be roused. Those fertile, robust colonists, of '75, however, who had never read a Phillipic nor ever heard of Macedon, became for the moment generals under the impulse of their new and absorbing cause. That early surprise of Ticonderoga proved far more than an incident. It was military forecast. It gave us territory ; it gave us time ; it gave us confidence ; it saved us our settlements ; it gave us many cannon then much needed ; and it sig- nally facilitated military operations elsewhere in the field. We must credit it with most valuable advantages secured and propor- tionate dangers avoided. And what was the exploit ? An old story often told, but still bright as the firesides around which that story was told again and again in that day among our northern hills and valleys. It was an exploit at which our hardy ancestors were adepts — a bit of skillful by-play, a well-laid surprise, the leap of a panther out of the woods,, the swoop of an eagle upon its prey ! In the month of April, 1775, when the war opened, you would have found Captain Delaplace's Company of the Twenty-Sixth Regi- ment of British regulars doing so-called garrison duty at the old fort. It numbered less than fifty men. What they were there for was, . perhaps, to them a puzzle, and no doubt a sleepy, idle life they had of it. Had they sniffed the danger in the air there would have been work enough on hand, repairing walls and watching the roads. But 58 turn in another direction. In that same month of April, the moment the Lexington Alarm was sounded and war was accepted as inevit- able, you would have found many men all over New England and New York looking instinctively toward Ticonderoga. Can there be any doubt of this ? There were some thousand old soldiers of the previous war still living in those colonies whose thoughts would im- mediately revert to that strategic point. It was the one point to which they were marched in the old campaigns. If it was important then it was still more important now, and the necessity of securing it for the colonies at once presented itself. John Brown of Pittsfield advised the Massachusetts Provincial Congress to seize it "as soon as possible." Benedict Arnold talked of it on his march from New Haven to Lexington. Parsons, Wyllys, Mott and others of Con- necticut. Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys, Adams and Hancock of Boston— and how many more ? — all had the matter in mind and at heart. But the men among the multitude whom we have to do with are the men who acted. It is the men who took time "by the forelock and the fort by surprise that interest us on an oc- casion like this. Two expeditions against the fortress were set on foot simul- taneously in two different quarters. The one best planned and first " mobilized " succeeded. Should we be surprised to learn that its starting point was Hartford, Connecticut ? Not, when we recall that colony's exertions to do her part with her neighboring colonies to keep Ticonderoga in English hands in the French and Indian War. Her anxiety for its possession was none the less active in the present crisis, and she was ready for the enterprise. The last days of the April session of the Assembly at Hartford had been devoted to the serious and exciting business of war preparation. Profoundly moved by the Lexington Alarm, popular sentiment in favor of resistance had acquired overwhelming force. Young men were arming, old men advising. As everywhere else, energetic leaders and newly ap- pointed officers discussed measures, plans, prospects. They canvassed the field in public and private, in knots and groups, on the corner and at the hearthstones ; and the uppermost question with them all was — "Lexington means war — the next move what?" It was a ques- tion that could have found more than one answer, but one of those groups answered it in its own way and thereby became famous. It was answered in a very resolute, practical and telling fashion. Those 59 men offset the Lexington raid by promptly seizing Ticonderoga — and in the step we have a touch of righteons i-etaliation as well as good strategy. The Hartford enterprise initiated secretly, and was at once private and semi-official. Who first urged the project, who was the moving spirit in the company, we cannot venture to say with certainty. One of their number, Colonel Samuel H. Parsons, of New London, leaves us this brief record in the case: "On my way to Hartford," he writes to Joseph Trumbull, "I fell in with Captain Arnold, who gave me an account of the state of Ticonderoga, and that a great number of brass cannon were there. On my arrival at Hartford, ■Col. Sam. Wyllys, Mr. Deane and myself first undertook and pro- jected taking that fort; and with the assistance of three other persons procured money, men, etc., and sent out on this expedition without any consultation with Assembly or others." "This I mention," adds Parsons, "only for this reason, that 'tis matter of diversion to me to see the various competitors for the honor of concerting and carrying this matter into execution contending so strenuously about a matter, in the execution of which all concerned justly deserve applause." With other records in corroboration we are thus in possession of the names of at least three of the originators of and prime movers in the Connecticut scheme — Parsons, Wyllys, Deane. It is equally clear that the name of Benedict Arnold should be associated with these three as an originator, but his efforts, it will appear, were identified with another undertaking. The sinews of the expedition, money and men, were provided forthwith.. Borrowing upon their own notes three hundred and eighty pounds from the State Treasury, Parsons and his associates, increased to eleven, placed the funds in the hands of three trusted individuals— Phelps, Mott and Romans— with directions to proceed to Western Massachusetts and the Green Mountain settlements, and there organize a force to capture the foi-t. They were to act accord- ing to their best judgment. From Hartford to Ticonderoga is a dis- tance, as the road goes, of two hundred miles. At Salisbury, Conn., on the route, the three men in question were joined by thirteen others, selected for their known integrity, loyalty and enthusiasm. Among them were Bigelow, Bull, Blagden, Babcock, Halsey, Nichols and others, subsequently meritorious officers in the Continental army. These sixteen men were the nucleus of the expedition in the field. 60 At Salisbury they agreed to make their way on horseback, unarmed, like casual travellers or traders, to the town of Sheffield, Massa- chusetts, where they proceeded to plan and execute. Two of their number were sent West to Albany to buy provisions and put them on the road to Ticonderoga. The rest pushing on to Pittsfield the next day found there some willing spirits who joined heart and soul in the enterprise; among them John Brown and Colonel Easton. These two advised the Connecticut party to enlist men from that vicinity, and accordingly Mott and Easton struck out to Williams- town and Jericho and quickly picked up forty resolute volunteers. Sixty men now in the party, and all headed by different roads for- Bennington in the Grants. There more. men were sent off with Connecticut money to buy provisions, and two others, Phelps and Hiccock, were entrusted with the secret mission of proceeding in ad- vance to spy out the fortress, Joshua-like, and report its condition. Phelps shrewdly played the lumbering countryman passing that way, and dropped in to be shaved by the garrison barber. He found mat- ters as he hoped to find them, and returned to report that the red- coats were still listless and unsuspicious. At Bennington also we meet with one of the striking figures of the exploit — Ethan Allen ! The pride of the Green Mountain Boys, eccentric and fearless, with one hundred and fifty comrades of his; own stamp, he added momentum to the force and picturesqueness to> the character of the expedition. Bennington is sixty miles from Ticonderoga. As the object of the enterprise could no longer be concealed, small parties of men were sent out on all the roads lead- ing to the fortress, with orders to delay every person they met. But even with this precaution it is remarkable that no lurking tory or treacherous volunteer, with an eye to the reward for information he- might expect from the British, found his way to the fort in the five- days that intervened before the surprise. On Sunday night, May 7, all were at Castleton, twenty miles southwest of the coveted strong- hold. Here final organization was effected. A sort of military Executive Committee was formed, with Mott at the head, while Allen was placed in command of the force, now over two hundred strong, with Easton as second and Seth Warner as third. And here at Castleton suddenly appeared another figure no less striking than Allen's — Benedict Arnold! As yet unknown he boldly presented himself in camp, with the startling demand upon the Com- 61 mittee to surrender the command of the expedition to himself. Who was he, they asked, and why such assumption of authority ? With Arnold is associated the second enterprise for the capture of Ticonderoga referred to. After his conversation in the matter with Colonel Parsons at Hartford, he marched on with his company to Boston to find that its services were not in immediate demand. The Ticonderoga suggestion absorbed his mind. Whether he had first proposed the surprise to Parsons or whether Parsons conceived of it after the conversation may never be known, but that both men im- mediately acted upon the hint, and independently of each other, is a matter of history. How Parsons 1 activity culminated we have seen. Arnold was equally prompt and energetic, and is deserving of about the same meed of praise for his personal efforts that one would award to any individual of the expedition in hand. Instead of re- turning to Hartford to associate himself with Parsons and the others — and here, no doubt, we see the assertion of his high-born spirit and ambition to command — he turned immediately to the Massachusetts authorities and urged them to undertake the surprise on their own account. Succeeding in his application, he received a commission as a Massachusetts Colonel, and was given due authority to raise a regi- ment in the western part of the colony and seize Ticonderoga. Without delay he set out on his secret errand, and arrived at Castle- ton only to find, as we have seen, that the Connecticut party had forestalled him. Not to be baffled, however, he made the claim that the chief command belonged to him as holding the highest com" mission and from the highest authority. But the expedition was fully organized, and had accepted the authority of the Connecticut party, which, though private and self-constituted, was known to be representative and semi-official as supported by a loan from the public Treasury. Arnold's demand, accordingly, was scouted and resisted. Much parley and angry talk ensued, with the result that the new- comer was compelled to yield his point and accept an honorary but honorable place at the head of the force as a quasi leader side by side with Ethan Allen. On the heels of the Arnold episode came the report into camp that the Ticonderoga garrison had at last got wind of the Yankee enter- prise and were prepared to receive it. But nothing would daunt those determined souls. Half were frontiersmen — all that we are accustomed to imagine as embodied in the make-up of the Green 62 Mountain Boy. They were not to be frightened. Mott declared he would not return to Hartford until he had at least marched around the fortress if he could not get in. All showed the spirit of the old Spartan, when told that in a coming action with the Persians he would find their arrows pouring in so thickly as to hide the sun. " Well," was his confident reply, " so much the better! we shall then have the advantage of fighting in the shade ! " Finally, on the night of May 9, the determined band reaches Shoreham, on the eastern side of Lake Champlain, and prepares to cross to Ticonderoga opposite, a distance of two miles. Ferriage is slow from lack of boats, and at 4 o'clock on the next morning, in spite of Allen's and Arnold's best exertions, not more than eighty- five men are over. As daylight will discover the movement to the -enemy, the attack must be made at once, and fully alive to this the leaders waste no time. Allen stops a moment to harangue the com- pany, closing with some such words as these : — " Friends and fellow .soldiers : I now propose to advance before you. and in person conduct you through the gate; for we must this morning either quit our pre- tensions to valor or possess ourselves of this fortress in a few min- utes; and inasmuch as it is a desperate attempt (which none but the bravest men .dare undertake), I do not urge it on any contrary to his will. You that will undertake it, voluntarily, poise your firelocks ! " Every musket comes to the front, and all push forward with Allen and Arnold conspicuous at their head. As they near the sally-port of the frowning work, a sentinel snaps his musket and quickly re- treats. The main gate is found closed, but the narrow wicket is open, and through it the party dashes impetuously one by one, and immediately re-forms in the centre of the parade. The garrison is asleep ! Ticonderoga is taken ! As the awakened regulars came tumbling out of their quarters they were instantly made prisoners. And as for Ethan Allen, can the pen do him more gi'aphic honor than he receives from the artist's pencil in the illustration on the programme of the evening ? Eoused from his dreams of security by some rude thumping on his door, the Commander of the post made his appearance in the uniform of the hour, and with a flickering light beheld the stalwart, threaten- ing form of the Green Mountain Alexander. A pointed conversation thereupon took place, and one form of it is as good as another. The form Ave like the best — that which can never be erased from our 63 school books or our histories — is the best authenticated.* " By what authority do you demand the surrender of this fort ?" exclaimed the British hero in white. The intensity of the confusion that must have overcome him in Allen's answer can only be imagined ! " In the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress!' 1 ' 1 re- plied his captor, and the beginning of the end of England's domina- tion in America was sealed ! Ticonderoga with Thermopylae to-day are things of the past. Hardly can they appear in a famous role again. Modern engines of war and modern military methods have disarmed them of their importance. And yet they remain representative names. Thermop- ylae may no longer have its terrors, but along the Rhine and the Danube what ? Mighty contests of the recent past and contests yet to come. Ancient Europe in one respect finds its counterpart — a more brilliant counterpart — in modern Europe. War there still remains an imminent and a blighting possibility. With us Ticon- deroga has no counterpart. No fortresses loom up like shadows within our borders; no standing armies wither the hand of industry. We rejoice that this is so to-day at least, and may it ever be ! And for this situation, the greatest of blessings, let us profoundly acknowledge our indebtedness to the American Revolution. It was that Revolution that sounded here the death-knell of the old world system of rival separate States, divided from each other by walls and battlements and glittering arms, and dedicated this Continent to the system of United States, locked in a common national brotherhood under the sheltering panoply of peace. * Allen's reply appears first in Goodwin's "American Revolution," under date of August, 1775. It is also given by Allen in his autobiography or narrative. The exclamation has been treated with some humor and sarcasm, as being highly bombastic and without point. The Continental Congress, it is claimed, had not yet, by a few hours, convened at Philadelphia, and its authority was a mere shadow. It will be recalled, however, that the First Congress, which had adjourned only a few months before, formed the American " Association," to whose authority the Whig element subscribed, and then provided for its own successor. Delegates to the latter, or Second Congress, were then (May, 1775) assem- bling at Philadelphia to proceed with the deliberations, and advise as the situation might demand. The two Congresses were looked upon as essentially a continuous body, repre- senting a new governing force in the Colonies which the emergency had created. It was the talk of the day ; its advice respected ; its recommendations carried out. To Allen and his men it was anything but a shadow, and in demanding the fortress, the authority of Con- gress, whether given or cot, was the one authority to evoke. The reply came naturally.
