(FOR THE, CNQUlRliii )
On the fourth of July la-it, n numb •r of the Ci
fc*tiz ns of Hanover and lv ng William u.sst in
bled at tlie town ot New Castle, for the pur
pose of celebrating the Anniversary of lnd«
|x lence At ttie pirlictiUr request of a few
friends, Mr Nathaniel Ilenrv, «>t Burkint-ham
County, and one of the younger sous <*f the
illustrious Patrick Henry, read to the Assent
blv the Declaration of Independence, mij ac
companied it with the following Oration,
"which is published at the solicitation ot his
audience :
Fellow .Citizens,
Very contrary to mv ex
pectation and wishes, 1 have been pr vailed
upon to arise as the speake- on tl.i; anniversary.
Assured as 1 am of my inability V> elucidate a
subject which requires the grandest powers of
eloquence, I should have declined the honor of
•Ui h a task, lud any other gentleman in tins vi
cinity stept forward to assume it to himself—
But the die is cast; 1 have ventured to present
myself before this polite assemble, and must
en leavor to justifv the distinction conferred upon
Jno by my friends, in as competent a way as tlie
sr«ry short time given me for preparation will ad
mit As to my being.» stranger in this section
f»f Virginia, I irtpt no apology will be demanded
■for that; circumstance, aiul that the individuals
of this assembly will banish the l-cal or person
»,l prejudicies which might poss bly arise fiom
•tic.h a source, while I address them on the theme
of Independence Thunk God ! 1 claim allegi
ance under tlie Name happy republic with those
■who surround me, and have casually visited this
place to join in the present commemoration As
an Amei ican citizen, l doubt not I shall receive
that g nerous, sympathetic attention due from
my beloved fellow countrymen. Without fur
ther preface I now proceed, fellow citizens to
read to you in as emphaticul anti impressive a
manner as possible the Declaration of American
Independence, after which I shall offer a few
Cursory remarks somewhat connected with that
great charter of our lih, rties.
t Here ivir i-ienry reau the Declaration of In
d* pendcnce and then proceeded _)
By the revolution of the wheel of time, the
day of our national enfranchisement has once
mure arisen from the east upon our land. Me
thinks it m .y be uss militedto the day of man’s
redemption, when the morning stars sang toge
ther unci all the sons of God shouted for joy ——
At that sacred xn, the family of mankind was
supernaturally redeemed fr.»m the curses and
c: lumities about to devolve upon them, from the
tall of Aditm On the fourth of July, 1776. the
colonies of North America were declared for
ever free, by a great, solemn and memorable in
strument which announced with truth their final
and complete emancipation. Recollecting with
undiminished admiration the virtu, s of those ve
term. Roman heroes who bequeathed t us,(their
posterity) the political blessings now within the
sphere of our enj lyinent.wa have met together to
celebrate thr m trvellous success of iheirarms in
the cause of freedom Such adisplay of grati u le is
insignificant indeed when compared with ttie
*p ctaele which gives it birth ; hut it is in the na
ture of things,the most acceptable sacrifice we can
tender as a m mhol of our obligations to the at
ch ievers ot independence Vt*y tliey condescend
■whether in heaven or on earth to receive even this
paltry tribute which glows with the siucarest
patriotism, if it be panting in pomp and rargni
fi. nice. It is observed by a modern author of
celebrity, that revolutions are beacons set up to
guide the oppressed on their way to Freedom.—
And in this point of view, the revolution which
dissolved the ties between these states am! the
parent empire, is infi liletv more worthy of eulo
g\ and veneration, than all others recorded ei
ther in ancient or modern annals The latter
instead of blasting oppression’s reign and.advan
eing the felicity of man, have invariably redou
bled the misery of his condition. If they remo
ved one political evil, they introduced others of a
im>re hideous aspect, more rermgiunt to the
primary interests of society Or us in France,
th?y commenced with the subversion of the exis
ting monarchy and the assassination of every
member of the royal family, reared upon the
ruins of former establishments a p.dtry imbecile
system of counterfeit democracy, and then resul
ted in a despotism whose vortex well nigh swal- !
lowed up the liberties of the world But the |
revolution of Amenca is marked by no such me- 1
lannlioly horrific features It rescued the people '
of this hemisphere from the grasp of foreign des- j
potism, and dispensed to them freedom and inde- t
prudence. It burst the fetters of their colonial
subjugation and gave them a distinguished im- !
porta lice among the sovereign nations of Europe.
It introduced a nt-w and illustrious xa into the
science of hist >ry For until the war which ra
ff d here during the last century, no decisive
experiment had been made of the strength of a
Hanoi) oesperaieiy struggiirg lor us r:gnis 11
hid been immemorial!}’ held, that man was pas- :
give and impotent in his nature, that if retained
for a period in a state of servitude, his p ide
might be humbled and his love of independence
forever chilled. But thanks to the benevolence of
Heaven, this great political dogma has been at
last, refuted, and the dignity of human nature i
Ligbly raised by the triumph of the patriots of
*7ti, over the arms of Greal-Britam. Yes, Ame
ricans, we have convinced the whole world that
tyranny cannot always endure, that if it carries its
rigor beyond a certain point, the genius of e
mancipation will rise in his might, power and
jnaj' biy, and smite it low in tiie dust. We have
an..ounced with a voice which alarms the despot:
and cheers the subject amidst his sufferings, that i
there is a spirit of terrible revenge (eh by oppres
sed humanity, which, when forced into exercise
and systematically directed, may lead to the fill- ,
lest redress of its grievances, ltejoice then, Oh * j
philanthropy, at the confi mutton of these me
inorable truths. Hitherto thou hast Lcen weeping

But put off the gloom of thy btow, and the

on this side of the Atlantic, at least, the political

Government, law, and religion flourish in an ele
ment entirely new. They are adapted, as though
by divine agency to produce happiness and con
tent among the people, and to attach them insu
perably to the soil of America. Whore is the

To wed,or not to w l-fut is the question ;
Whither ’tis better in the mind to stitie
The heats and tumults ol outrageous pas.ion._
Or with s< tne prudent fur in solemn r infract

Nonioi-- und by h -t Have to sa \v end
The heart-aches, at the thousand love sick pangs
Ol celibtcv —’twice a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d—In nuptial band
To join ’till death dissolves —Ay. there’s the rub ;
For in that space, what dull remorse in -v come,
When we have taken our solemn leave oflibertt,
Must give 11s pause —There’s the respect
That slacks our speed in suing for a change_
Else, Who would bear the sc--rns whi hiciielo -

To fret and linger out a single life,
Hut that the dread of something yet untry’d.

And m k< s us rather choose those ills vwe have,

Tnis last reflection makes us slow and wary,
Filling the dubious mind with dreadful thoughts

ANiViVlIt"! A KY
OF AMERICAN 1 N -.IE Pl£ ^D-SNCE. ,
The birth day of American lib.rty was cele
brated at Mr Cros >ey’s, by a large number ol
democrats of the good old school, who spontune
; ously collected together, without the aid of pri
vate or public begging, invitation or huckstering
of tickets.
After the declaration of independence was
read by Mr.Thackara, tfiey sat down to a well
provided dinner—General Leib, Mr. J »mes En
gle, anti Colonel Cunneiiy presided—the follow
ing toasts gave zest to the entertainment, md
were received and echoed by bursts of acclama
tion and shouts of joy.
1 The da)—The independence and f. eedom
we celebrate were acquired by virtue and valor ;
may they never be sacrificed by coiruption and
cowardice.
2. The congress of’76—Unlike their succes
sors of the pres toil day, l ey n< Vcr weighed their
rights in gold scale*, nor were appalled by the
roarings of the British lion, or the bowlings of
his jackalls
3 The author of the declaration of indepen
dence— He has given us a momun nt sacred to li
berty ; may we reverence it as our political cov- !
enanl, and cling to its truths and its principles to |
our last breath.
4 The m mory of Franklin—H • disarmed the
lightning ot its terrors, and snatched the s-epire
from a tyrant ; may his genius descend upon our
country, and his example animate every Ameri
can.
5. The fteroes who fought and died for their
country—They have beq i -allied ns a legacy of
inestimable value ; may we maintain it with our
blood, and surrender it only with our existence.
6. Paulding, Williams and Van-vert—Uie sa- ;
vioi.ru of their country deserve die grateful re
mtmhrunceoi freen en ; may they never be for- ■
gotten.
7. The President of the United States—T ie
hatred of anarchists *’or Ins decision against state
usurpation, ought to endear him to every friend
of the union and of n publican principles, and to
every lover of his country
8 Our foreign relations—D»eds and not de- j
clarations, arm*m -nts and not documents,
acts and not words, to rescue us from disgrace
and to heal our wounded honor.
9 The stale of Pennsylvania—The practical
operation of tier motto, “ virtue, liberty, and in
dependence,*' instead of corruption, sedition and
servility
10 The nest governor of Pennsylvania
knowledge and not ignorance, patriotism and not
hypocrisy, viriue and not corruption, to elevate
him to office and guide lum in his functions.
11. The American fl .g—Its honor more pre
cious than tea, & since we resisted tribute for the
one, let us not tamely permit the other to be
6tained with the blood of freemen.
12 The elective franchise—Free from the cor
ruption of legislative nomination, and indepun
dent of office hunters and demagogues, who
would substitute delegates and themselves for
the people.
13. ’J'lie power of pardon—U->ed but not abu
sed, the safeguard of innocence, not an encou
ragement to guilt
14. Tiie union—Infamy eternal to the man or
the .action, who would m«ke state rights or an
embargo the pietext to destroy it
15 Domestic manufacture*—The garb ofin
U-pc-ndence as a substitute lor the livery of
daveS
16. The American tar9—The energies of free
j m -it to rescue freem-n from bondage
17. The c<Histitution of Pennsylvania—Rcn
tlcied conform.dde to republican priii iples to
.nevrntlhe domination of faction and the rule
f ignorance and knavery.
