On that eminence - are tntrenehments of , fearful strength, tMnunanding 'all access from that quarter. Ott the leirder of yonder Lake stand redoubts, fOm whose embrasures will is one a fiery storm *Melt is sure to sweep down' the bravest legnani that shall dire to pess with in their range. • Which of these it is necessary to take, and to oc4npy or demolish, is early de cided. They , are dewed and assailed. When one assault is not itnecessfnl, another is made. If one day's toil dims not carry them, another is added. If one iine of approach is found im practicable, anothir is tried, till these outposts no longer furnish ihelter to an opposing army; or impede the con nest. So it isn the htnorable and patrititie enter prise in which we Ire enlistpd. The enemy has held possession onthe citadel of our strength• and honor. Hisle, vels have been in the halls of oar rich men ; his carousals in the dwellings 1 of the poor. Thetfair city of our pride and 1 strength—our ha ity and glorious inheritance— has ritance— I t has lain und , a teful,,usurper's sway. The I 14ng possession ofit. ears had almost buried, a- i while since, all quitstion of the validity of the I tide by which dinirdoo was held. Around `, him were thrown lulls, to which passing years i added height andittrength. On elary .avenue i of approach, and 4ii many ral a comfi I ding emi- new, stood his eiltrenchments anti fortresses.l And when a smal l( band came, -and encamped before his defens4; when they demanded the tyrant's eardsiorafrom usurped dornieion—the liberation of his *fives—their restoration to an inheritance, of Which he had plundered them ;' when he saw theno marshalling :for .an assault, it seemed in him, but' the becoming work of incallible seettrity4o hold, their daring in de- risien. • is .• i Von understandi the reference to , the Tem- France enterpris4 an enterprise which seeks'; to drive intemperince from his strong holds and usurped d-rnibions; VS restore to' en who i have been hishondj - ed, and ribbed, and , made poor and eheerle4 the last boon.'

At these were stn-' toned many thoutinds, small and great ; an immense company i from . clddlicitia trained to their 'etapl iyrne4till it' was deemed essential to health, vigor, life, and, even respectability.
