A very interesting link.

I think I'd seen references to it before in Orcutt's book, but not the
actual oration.

Does it say who was in the Midway delegation?

MoA also has:
 The history of the town of Dorchester, Massachusetts,
 By a committee of the Dorchester antiquarian and historical society

and some other interesting items.
I've also added a link to that under New.
