ORATION
Delivered toy GEO.- W. M’ELROY,
Esq., of tills City, ;st the Celebra
tion held at Brownstown, Lan
caster County, July 4,1850.
MR. CHAIRMAN:
me pleasure to
meet you on this occasion, and for the purpose for
which we are assembled. We are here to celebrate
the dav which gave birth to the liberties ot this
nation. We are here to converse face to face, on
those great and undying principles, which are em
bodied iin the.declaration which we have just heard
read.
It is right that we should meet together on this
day and lor the purpose I have mentioned. It is
one of those high and exalted privileges which it is
our duly to exercise.. No one who appreciates the
advantages ol the government under which we live,
will doubt the propriety ot our thus assembling.—
By our meeting together on this day, our minds are
brought under the influence of a salutary and bene
ficial example. We are led to contemplate the glo
rious events to which it gave birth. Our feelings
become more.warmly attached to the interests of
our 'cduntry, and - 'we are’ sensibly impressed with
the importance of our position as a nation, and led
■to those plans which are calculated to insure
our perpetuity.
Every citizen of tfye United States, in this partic
ular, has a solemn and imperious duty imposed
upon him. It is not the mere vain show, and the
apparently unsubstantial enjoyments, which some
times attend public demonstrations of this charac
ter, that should be the inducements for the com
memoijation of the events to which this day gave
birth. Feelings of a higher and more sacred order,
should prompt us to the discharge of this duty. We
should come forward to this work, feeling that we
are the representatives of the dead, to whose servi
ces we are indebted for all the political blessings
we enjpy. Our minds should be filled with grati
tude to them, and we should connect their names
with our ceremonies, with grateful hearts and be
coming solemnity. For who are so deserving of
our gratitude, as the men who-assembled them
selves together on this clay, seventy-four years ago,
to lay the foundation of the Republic under which
we liv?? We read that during the days of the Ro
man Republic, it was the custom of that nation, to
hold their festivals, commemorative of prominent
events in their history. They exhibited their grat
itudeito their great men, for the services they had
rendered, by public rejoicings, and by connecting
their names with their national festivals and their
hours pf leisure and of recreation. The same spirit
should; animate the people of these United States.
If in the darker period of the world's history, grat
itude was a prominent feature of the human char
acter, how much more so ought it now to be, since
civilization and refinement are spread throughout
the world, and the mistaken and imperfect opinions
of past, have given place to learning and reli
gion, and all those refined moral and rational sen
timents which are the noblest attributes of man.
To jus, this day brings with it leelings of a pecu
liar character. We almost forget for the time, our
present existence, and our attention is turned in
stinctively into the retrospect. We contemplate
ihe pjist, and we call up events which have long
since transpired. Images of departed w’orth and
greatness rise into view, and we feel ourselves, as
it w’erje, transported back to be witnesses of those
scenes), and to occupy a place amid those conflicts
which;“tried frien's souls/’ We almost lancy that
we see before us,, that noble band of patriots, who
assembled themselves together in 1770, to adopt
the declaration we have heard read. Our ears
seem to catch the sound of the first Cannon, as it
announced the onset of freedom, and signalized the
downfall of tyranny upon our shores.
But! if, undef ordinary circumstances, it is impor
tant apd instructive for us to meet together on this
day, ahd if gratitude for our apeestors and zeal lor
our ccjuntry's welfare, require Ihat it should be set
apart,!for the particular purpose in which we are
engaged, how much more forcibly does this duty ap
pea lip us now, at this particular crisis, when a dark
, cloud jappears to be suspended over the Union, and
the elements of national discord have shaken it to
its very centre. In times of fancied security, we
may forget the Fourth of July and the events which
it commemorates; but i& it possible for us to.do so,
in timies like the present, when the spirit of disunion
is abrpad in the land, and the chosen fruits of the
nations inheritance are about to be sacrificed in the
wine press of the destroyer ? Now, indeed, my fel*
low'citizens, is the time lor the people of this coun
try tolspeak, and to speak their sentiments plainly,
too, wjithout reference to’party feeling, and without
regard to any local influence, which may be brought
to bea r upon them. On the questions which are now
agitating this country. - •! which have already
threatened a rupture ot c u Confederacy, we should
be united as one man. No party leelings should
divide up. No local or sectional differences should
disturb the harmony of our proceedings. We should
comnrjiinp togeuier as one people, with one country,
one liberty and one constitution.
Ever since the origin of this government, a diver
sity of opinion has existed between its two branch
es, growing out ot the existence of slavery in the
States. That diversity oi opinion has nownakea
the.shjape of hostility, and I am not guilty of exag
geration, when I say, that there are men in this
country at the present time, who are as anxious to
insure-a.dissolution of our Confederacy now, as out
forefathers were to establish it. Men whose judg 1
mentshave been perverted by their passions, whose
imaginations have associated with southern slavery,
iniquities which it never gave birth to, and who. led
away by the spirit of fanaticism, are now following
their dangerous ciusade, with the dagger of the
consp rator in the one hand, and the torch of the
, incem iary in the other.
Th; t slavery is an evil in this government, no
man c f common discernment can deny. The great
and tie good amongst us, have deeply deplored its
existence, and looked upon it as a national curse.
When viewed in the abstract, it is brought in con
flict with our Republican-Character, and we are
held jp to ridicule by the rest of the vvorld, for
profesping a theory at variance with our practice.
It is evil reproachful to our social system, and
the history of the country has furnished many mel
ancholy examples, that it is a stumbling block in
the wry of our national prosperity. Every philan
thrope t. every friend to his country, will honestly
admit, that slavery is an evil, repugnant to our in
stitute ns, and disgraceful to humanity. However
the negroe may be to us, in' his physical
ellectual conformation, he still forms a link
chain ot humanity, and we have no moral
• exact from him his labor without compen-
The practice is at variance with our decla
which acknowledges all men to be bom fret
and it comes in conflict with the re
vealed leclarations of the Almighty, that He “ has
made of one blood all the nations of the earth:' The
moment we enslave man of any color, we contra
dict the spirit of that declaration, and deny the in
fallibility of that divine precept,- which should be a
rule ot moral government for all nations. But
while we acknowledge slavery to be an evil, both
moral and political, we deny that it is an evil of
our own seeking. We object that the whole burden
of its responsibility should be thrown upon us.—
However culpable the government ol the U. States

with the introduction of slavery here, It is air in

into thia country by England at the time of her

ration,
and «
nies. Those who have read the history of our
early struggles, will remember that every means
were-adopted to rid ourselves of this evil. The
•patriots of the revolution deplored its existence
amongst them. Thomas Jefferson, the author of
the Declaration of employed the
efforts of his great mind to devise some practicable
method for its abolition. The Father of his Coun
try recognized the foul blot upon our institutions,
and made its miserable victims the object of his
paternal regard and his generous philanthropy. But
with all their wisdom and humanity, they could
find no door wide enough to let slavery out.
Their descendants have encountered obstacles
equally serious in their character. Immediate and
, unconstitutional abolition is as idle as it is imprac
ticable. To let loose the slaves of the South in
their present condition, would be to doom them to
certain destruction. With us they could never sub
sist upon terras of equality. Their constitution,
their color, their habits of life, all would prevent
them from the associations of freedem. With their
introduction to liberty, their degradation would still
exist.. Wherever they would go, they would carry
with them their marks of inferiority. Excluded
from the homes of the white man and that kindred
intercourse, which alone can make freedom worthy
of its name, it would not be long until their race
would be extinct, and like the Red man of the
forest, driven from one point to the other, they
would perish in an atmosphere which would be
poisonous to their existence. In a few centuries
they would have faded from the earth, andjiothing
be left of them to show that they had ever lived or
toiled, except the scattered graves of their people,
and that history which would record their suffer
ings and their destruction.
The only "practicable method of effecting our
riddance ol this evil, wtrich has everbeen discov
ered. has, at the' present time, been of. It
might with -propriety be said, that it has almost
perished for want of support. The friends of hu
man liberty who proposed to form colonies in the
c luntry of their ancestors for these miserable
beings, where they might have a government of
their own and subsist upon terms of equality, have
been driven almost off the theatre of reform, by the.
blind lanaticism which has been thrown in their
way. They have been met in their work ol benev
olence, by an association favorable to immedi
ate and unconditional abolition, without regard to
the safety of the country or the interests of the
South. Millions of dollars have been expended in
its support, which if they had been apjfropriated
to the true purposes of reform, might have purch
ased the liberty of the slave and sent him on his
way rejoicing. And while this association was
laboring to effect and did in part effect, the-des
truction of this benevolent object, its tendency was
to foster a spirit of hostility in the southern section
of this Union, inimical to the work of reform and
adverse to the cause which it professed to sus
tain. Petitions were annually flooding our Halls
of Representation, signed by men, women and
children, of all classes and ol all colors, in which
the slaveholder was represented as a of blood,
; while as a compensation for the libel, he was posi
tively solicited to surrender upon the altar of suffer
ing humanity, at least two-thirds of his lawful
inheritance.
Nor were crusaders then destitute of the means
whereby to impel the machinery of their work. In
every part of the country they had their hired esn
misaries, who were laboring to excite the’ feelings
of the North against the South, upon the slavery
question. They had their Representatives too,
who, session after session, presented their treasona
ble petitions and assisted to fling their firebrands
into the arena of debate. I say, my fellow-citizens,
that this course, so unreasonable and unjust, has
had the effect of retarding the progress of emanci
pation in. this country. The tendency of abolition
ism has been, not to meliorate the condition of the
slave, but to rivet his chains tighter, and render
his condition more hopeless and more intolerable.
For although the r South itself, as I verily believe,
is long since convinced that slavery is an evil, it
should be remembered that they are not to be
driven to a surrender of their property, without the
stipulation of some conditions which will work a
compromise of feeling. Their rights are as sacred
as those ol the North. Both are protected by the
same constitution, and the enjoyment of each freely
'and uninterruptedly, is the terms upon which our
Confederacy is founded.
That which occasioned the excitement under
which the government is now laboring, is but a
counterpart of the spirit to which I have referred.
Foiled in their efforts to compel an abolition of the
slaves of the South and of the Dist. of Columbia,
these friends of humanity, as they term themselves,
have turned their energies towards California and
New Mexico, cherishing the vain hope that their
doctrines will run current in reference to those
countries, which were achieved by the bravery and
sufferings of our soldiery in the late war. Unrea
sonable upon the subject in reference to those ter
ritories, as they were upon the general question,
they commenced a premature crusade and rallied
their forces in the shape of a political faction,
whose peculiar virtue was to prohibit slavery on free
soil. It required but a limited knowledge of the
laws of nations, to know that* this movement was
entirely irrational and unfounded; for the soil they
sought -to protect from the encroachments of sla
very was already protected by law, and the protec
tion they demanded, was protection* for protection,
a feature in our municipal code, which has never
yet been discovered, by the most skilful and ener
getic legal latitudinarian. That this movement,
irrational and provoking in its character, should
rouse a spirit ol resentment in the southern section
of this union, is not to be wondered at. Will any
one charge me with being over-indulgent' to the
South when I say, that the ludicrous position of
Northern men, asking of Congress the passage of a
law, prohibiting that which was already prohibited,
fully authorized and sanctioned the position they
had assumed.
Every man acquainted with the geography of
his country must know, that the soil of California
and New Mexico, is not congenial to human bond
age. Free labor alone can prosper and flourish
upon its surface. Nature has set up an insuparable
barrier to the advancement of slavery there. And
there never will originate the necessity for a change
in the municipal regulation, which now excludes
it from its limits.
I have thus alluded temporarily to the present
excitement in this country, and its causes; not that
1 believe that eventually any actually serious re
sults will lollow it, but because I am of the opin
ion that it behooves us, as a people, on this great
day, tuily to understand the position that we occupy.
Alas! how far have we departed from the glorious
examples which were left us by our fathers ? How
ha*'e we suffered ourselves to be led away after
strange political gods, until we have almost lost
sight of those solemn, duties which we are enjoined
to perform ? The union of States which was held
in such deep reverence.by the Father of his Coun
try, and his immortal compatriots, is regarded by us
as a light and trivial fellowship, which can be sev
ered without remorse or hesitation on the shrine of
faction or of interest. The solemn admonition
which, was given by that truly great man, “to frown
indignantly upon the first dawning of every attempt
to separate one portion of this government from the
other, or enfeeble the sacred ties that now link together
its various partsf is thrown aside as unworthy our
attention and unsuixed to the progressive spirit of
the age. Thank God! that this present Fourth of
July still finds us a united and free people! Thank
God! that so far at least our country is still secure.
Thank God! that the middle of the nineteenth cen
tury finds us still in the possession of our freedom,
and that our Union 6till remains unharmed amid
the conflicts which may one day rend it asunder.
If there is a government on the face of the earth,
worth preserving, in all its parts and all its propor
tions, it is the government of the United States.—
We have set the first example of the advantages of
a free Republican government, which the world
has ever known. There is not a country under the
sun which will compare with ours, in the mainten
ance of any of those great principles which
and ennoble the human character.. Here every
man is placed upon an equality, or at least has the
means of placing himself upon an equality with
the proudest of the land. We have been elevated
to a station from which we can look abroad upon
tho nations of the earth, with the proud reflection,
that we are preeminent among them all. To an
elevation from which we can survey their charac*
ter, with the proud consciousness that our laws are
more wholesome and more permanent, our liberties
more secure, our soil more and our fa*
cilitiea for the extension of a wide and powerlul

empire, more numerous and more certain. That
we can boast of a population, proud and intelligent,
strong in their physical and intellectual resources,
who have never been weakened by the bonds of
servitude, whose nerves have never been unstrung
by the pangs of hunger, and whose sinews'have
never been bruised by the rod of oppression. Of a
people, great and independent in their equality, who
have been rocked in the cradle of liberty, nurtured
at its fountain, and taught in its schools.
The name of an American citizen is claimed as
a proud distinction, and like that of the Roman in
the palmy days of his Republic, is his passport to
honour in every civilized portion of the world. For
the enjoyment of these advantages we owe a deep
reverence to the memory of our buried ancestry.
The nations of the earth respect us, not so much
on account of our intrinsic excellence, as for our
connection with men who in days gone bye, sus
tained their rights upon the battle field, and fought
and bled in defence of their country's liberty. The
, actors in the revolutionary drama have nearly all
passed away. The "curtain has dropped upon the
stage and the theatre is silent. The pall of eterni
ty has been thrown around them, and the silence
of the grave sends back *no echo from the busy
train, which once filled up the measure of their
reality. But though the spirits of the revolution
are gone, they have left an inheritance behind them,
an inheritance more valuable than gold or silver,
of freedom. It is for us, their rep
resentatives, to cherish and protect it. It is for us
to preserve it from harm, and to hand it down un
impaired to posterity.
When we cast our eyes abroad over this coun
try, we are lost in wonder and astonishment at the
rapid advances it has made. It is but a few cen
turies ago, since this beautiful soil which we see
around us, was a wild and unbroken wilderness, —
“ Inhabited by beasts of prey,
And men more wild and fierce than they.”
Here the rude panther awoke the forest with
his midnight bowl, and the pale moonlight reflec
ted back the shining' folds of the deadly serpent.
Silence and desolation were here. The unexplored
wilderness returned ; no echo of the woodman’s axe,
and gave back no song of the husbandman as he
pursuedTds daily toil. Savage life in all its rude
ness and originality was here. Buried in the deep
recesses of the forest, was the wigwam of the war
like Indian, whose only worship was his idolatry,
and whose only God the unknown spirit that dwelt
in the bursting thunder. But how changed is now’
the scene? The clouds of" ignorance an‘d supersti
tion have been rolled back, wigwam of the
Indian has disappeared, and his council fires have
gone out upon our shores. The ploughshare of the
husbandman now passes over the bones of his fath
ers, and our? harvests grow upon their forgotten
graves.
On the ruins of savage life have been founded the
blessings of civilization. Where all this rudeness
and desolation once dwelt, we now fiud the homes
of happy men, a soil teeming" with the finest ol
earth's productions, and a nation basking in the
sunshine of liberty.
But within the narrow compass of our own
homes, we see but little of this country and its
greatness. Stretching as it now does from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, we can form but a limited
conception of it, when confined to the circle of our
own Observations. It is when we look upon its
geography and contemplate the immense territory
which it now covers, that we are overwhelmed
w’ith its magnificence. And to whom are we in
debted for all this meed of earthly good?
History has aw’anled to the Pilgrim fathers, the
honour of having established in this country the
first permanent Republican colony. The principles
which governed those adventurers, are well known
to us all. Deprived of the liberty of conscience,
and trammeled in their notions of religion and the
Bible, They sought new world as an asylum,
where they might exercise that liberty free from
restraint. They came here for that purpose, and
for that alone. Differing, as they did from the
established creeds, and entertaining opinions adverse
to the government, in relation to the Deity and his
attributes, they were compelled to flee from their
native country to escape the persecutions which
hunted them to the grave. Among them were
men of learning and distinction, who in their own
country had forsaken the blandishments of fortune,
and the lavors ot royalty. They came here, not as
fugitives Imm justice come, to escape the punish
ment of tpe law which they had violated, not as
men worn down by poverty, and willing to engage
in any adventure to regain their fallen fortunes; but
they capie here as men whose minds were free from
reproach, with the Bible in the one hand and the
implements of husbandry in the other. On the
wild shores of New England, then a mere rock
bound coast, washed by the billows of the Atlantic,
they took up their abode. They were not the orig
inators of the Revolution, but their descendents were
among the first who shouldered their muskets in
that glorious struggle. Yet the Pilgrim fathers
were to a great extent the benefactors of this coun
try. Their names deserve to be enrolled among
our proudest archives. They have left behind
them examples ol true piety and religious self-de
nial, worthy the imitation of all ages.
“ The Pilgrim Exile! —sainted name,
The hill whose icy brow,
Rojoicod when ho came in the morning’s flame,
In the morning’s flame bursts now ;
And the moon’s cold light, as it lay that night,
On the hill side and tho sea;
Still lies where he laid his houseless head,
But the Pilgrim, where is he ?”
“ The Pilgrim spirit has not fled !
It walks in the noon’s broad light,
And it watches the graves of the glorious dead
With the holy stars by night!
It watches the graves of the brave who have bled,
And shall guard the ice-bound shore
’Till the waves in the bay where the. Mayflower
Shall foam and freeze no more.” [lay
The descendants of those religious exiles still
celebrate their advent into this country and hold
their annual festivals commemorative of the hard
ships they endured. The brightest intellects of the
age have passed eulogies upon them, and their
names have gone upon the pages of undying history
and will elicit the reverence and respect of all men,
while the boundless ocean continues to wash the
shores upon which they repose. Yet it was not to
the Pilgrim fathers alone that we aTe indebted for
the government under which we live !
Those to whom we are more immediately indebt
ed for the liberty we enjoy, date their advent into
this country at least a century later than the Pil
grim fathers. The Atlantic coast was then peopled
by the enterprizing and the adventurous from all
parts of the world. America was not then an ex
clusive wilderness. The hand of civilization had
touched and the lorests had already begun to
crumble before the hardy yeoman's stroke. Colo
nies had been formed and the mineral and agricul
tural resources of the country were in a rapid state
oFdevelopement. The wilderness had begun to
blossom as the rose. The boundless ocean had'been
frequently tracked by the skill of the navigator,
and commerce had opened wide her saile for dis
tant ports. Populous towns had sprung up along
our sea-board filled with an industrious and enter
prising people, whose labor had furnished them
with a rich reward, and whose families were sub
sisting in the enjoyment of domestic peace and
happiness.
The causes which gave rise to the Revolution are
! known to us all. It was not the desire to break
down the established forms of government, as they
existed in the mother country, but to carry them
out agreeably to their spirit and origin. That which
was the strongest inducement to the colonists, was
the existence among them of taxation without re
presentation. Other grievances were comparatively
of minor importance compared with that. They
desired a representation of their interests in the
English Parliament, a privilege which was denied
them, although that body continued to pass its bur
densome tax laws for their regulation, which was
an .immense source of revenue to that government.
The stamp act, you remember, was the crowning
point of them all. But still there were other
grievances of which they complained and which
are forcibly set forth in their Declaration. Armed
troops had been quartered amongst them in times
of peace, their legislatures were dissolved for pre
suming to oppose the iniquities of Parliament, the
military was rendered independent of and superior
to the civil power, the eflbct of which was, that
murders were perpetrated on peaceful inhabitants,
by an idle and dissolute soldiery, and a mock trial
preserved them from the punishment they deserved.
Their trade was cut off with the rest of the world,
their property was plundered upon the high mbs,
their coasts were ravaged, their towns were burned,
and the lives of their people destroyed. Either oi
these grievances would have been sufficient to
have justified the signers of the Declaration in sep
arating themselves from the mother country, but
When they fell upon them so heavily, when they
came in such numbers, forbearance was no longer
a virtue and resistance became indispensable.
That our fathers did not desire originally to sep
arate themselves from the mother country, may be
inferred from the fact, that many of the grievances
enumerated in their Declaration, were borne by them
for years before that Declaration was adopted. As
far back as the year 1765, the legislature of Massa
chusetts passed a series of resolutions, expressive
of their rights under the English government, and
condemnatory of the encroachments which had
been made. In Connecticut in the year 1776 sim
ilar proceedings were had and town meetings were
held, in which many of the grievances under which
they labored were clearly and distinctly set forth.
It was only on the fourth of July 1776, that the
final step was taken. The Declaration was adopted,
published and sent forth to the world. It was the
signal of a war with the mother country. ’ It was
the talisman which was to lead forth the oppressed
to that struggle for their liberty, which they finally
achieved.
To these men, I have remarked, we are more im
mediately indebted for the advantages which we
now enjoy. With them the Revolution was a glo
rious and at the same time, a most dangerous un
dertaking. It embraced the alternative o! liberty or
death ; for had they failed, death would have been
their fate, and death too accompanied by the shame
and ignominy of the scaffold. But they had confi
dence in the purity and honesty of their cause.—
The God ol battles approved of it, heaven sanc
tioned it, and the honest testimony of the civilized
world, gave it approbation. And yet, situated as
they were, the undertaking seemed desperate and
hopeless. They were lew in number, and destitute
of the advantages necessary to the conduct of a
successful campaign. In connection with this, the
government with which they came in conflict was
the most powerful on the face of the earth. A
government which had won lor itself, the double
distinction of both mother and conqueror of nations.
A government whose dominions extended into
almost every part of the habitable globe, whose
flag had been.unfurled upon almost every hilltop,
and whose sails had whitened almost every sea.
What, my fellow-citizens, must have been the feel
ings of those patriotic men, when at the termina
tion of their glorious struggle, the British lion
crouched betore them on the memorable plains of
Yorktown! When their glorious eagle, “whose eye
had never winked and whose wing had never tired ”
through all the blood and peril of their renowned
conflict, rose proudly upon the wings of the morn
ing and bathed his plumage in our cloudless sky!
“ The God of battles smiled —Justice triumphed ;
The stars and stripes, Columbia’s sacred flag,
Like eagle’s pinions fluttered to the breeze ;
And the Red Lion, haughty Britain’s emblem,
Discomforted, went howling back with rage,
To lair amidst the white cliffs of Albion.”
Never was a tyrant, who swayed the sceptre of hi
unholy power over an oppressed and injured people,
more disconcerted at this strange and unexpected
result, than was George the Third. Possessing a
mind naturally weak and unstable, he soon alter
declined into idiotism and sat chattering upon his
throne, until worn out by age and the effects ol in
sanity, death relieved him from his embarrassments,
and his people from the excesses of a monarch who
had occasioned them much shame and reproach, “s
With the termination of our Revolution, the free ;
government of this country commenced. And
how it has advanced in strength and permanency
since its origin, our past history furnishes evidence.
From the States originally but thirteen in number,
we have attained to thirty, with the prospect that
others will yet come in to form a part in the
bright galaxy of our Republic.
England foiled in her efforts to subjugate us to
her will, now consoles herself with the reflection
that the experiment of self government must fail.
That this country, great, powerful and free as it is.
must eventually resolve itself back into its original
elements, and be driven by necessity, to acknowledge
the divine right of Kings. Heaven forbid that we
should ever recognize such right any more than we
would the divine right of constables.
Whether the prediction of England will ever be
realized, must depend entirely upon ourselves. We
can prove ourselves worthy of the inheritance we
have received from our ancestors, or we can go on
regardless of their sacred example and sacrifice all
they have given us. Oh! my fellow citizens, is
it not to be hoped, that we will never be guilty
of this self destruction ? Let it not be said in after
years, that some antiquarian has carved upon the
tomb of the American Republic, the name of sui
cide. Let us remember that we are acting not
only for ourselves, but posterity. The example
which we set, will be imitated by generations un
born, and it should be our great duty so to protect
the liberty of this country, that when the grave
closes over us, it may descend unimpaired to those
who will come alter us. Above ail considerations,
the Union of the States should be to us most sacred.
No local or sectional feeling should induce us for a
moment to forget its importance. We should cling
to it, as the anchor of our hopes, and the 6alety ol
posterity. If it should tall by our hands, or through
our negligence, it will bury every thing in its ruins.
Civil war, drear, fearful and interminable would
follow its destruction. Our fair fields would be
turned into deserts, our implements of husbandry
would be thrown aside, and that feeling of brother
hood which has so long subsisted amongst us, would
give place to defdly feuds and dire hostility. Our
families would be alarmed by the cry ol midnight
murder, and we would be driven into a revolution
more deadly, than any we have ever known before,
a revolution among ourselves.
That tlik\ people of this country will so act in
the present Crisis, as to prevent the occurrence of
any such calamity, I entertain no doubt. The
good and the great men of all parties have come
up to the rescue. The slate of Massachusetts has
been heard, through the eloquent strains and un
answerable arguments of her Webster. Kentucky
has thrown herself into the breach, in the person
of her venerable Clay, and has rebuked the grow
ing spirit of disunion in this country, through his
withering sarcasm and inimitable eloquence.—
With such men and such a cause, we have but
little to fear. And I trust my fellow citizens, that
however bitter may be the feelings now pervading
the different sections of this country, that in the
end it will redound to our glory and the country’s
good. And that you and I, and those who will
come after us, will continue to meet as we have
done to day, to celebrate the anniversary of our
country's liberty. And that when we do so, we
will do it, with the proud consciousness, that our
Union, will be then as it now is, safe and perma
nent, our freedom will be then as it now is, the
same glorious conservator of our peace and happi
ness, and the time-honored flag of the nation, will
be then as it is now, floating proudly in the breeze,
w’ith its broad stripes unsullied and its bright 6tars
undimmed. -
