concourse of citizens, in celebration of the
SOih Anniversary of the battle of King’s

Gkntlemkn,
If the address T delivered on the
6th inst, meet the approbation of any, it
must have been more from the occasion ihan
the composition, for the time 1 could snatch
from n>y various avocations was too limited
to afford an opportunity of obtaining correct
information of the subject. The id^asthere
fore were thrown together entirely for the
entertainment ot the day, without an expec
tattoo of its being presented to public view,
through the medium of the press. It is with
reluctance therefore that 1 cun prevail on
myself to comply with your polite request,
so far as it respects thu publication of the
address-but, in respect to the resolution
of the Legislature of Virginia, approving
the conduct of those who achieved that im_
portant victory, and Gen. Campbell’s reply,
it gives me pleasure to communicate them,
as they shew to the present generation, the
high sense tha.r country had at that period
of that affair.
With sentiments of esteem,
I am, Gentlemen,
Your moat obedient,

oration.
We have met here, Fellow Citizens, to
commemorate a day. which though little no
Heed in the annals of American history, yet
is not less important to the American people.
A day that will ever be held mournfully
dear by many of my hearers, who were then
bereaved of a tender Father, an affectionate
Brother, or an esteemed Friend.
It was on King’s Mountain, this day thir
ty years, that the precious blood of many oi |
the citizens of this part of the country flu'w.
ed freely in defence of Liberty 8c the Rights
of Man. The bones of the EDMISIONS,
the BROWNS, the M’CULLOCKS, and n
ther brave heroes are mouldcimg into dust
on that ever memorable Hill.-Let us then
unite in paying a tribute of respect to the
manes ot those deceased warriors who
fell in defence of our common country ; as
also to those grey headed Survivors that have
honored us with their presence to day.—
To behold that grnupe of hoary .headed sires,
aged and* infirm, bending downwards to
the §rave, with mangled limbs and mutila
ted bodies received in defence of Liberty, is
indeed a feast to the Philanthrophist ; and
it is wonderful to me, that to such a meeting
there could be an objection ; that there is
a, man in the country whose heart is so cold,
as to forbid his presence on an occasion which
•xcitessoch sympathetic,such noble feelings.
The commemoration of that battle, and the
yielding a tribute of respect to those vene
rahle men does not detract from the merit
of many a Weil fought battle during ouiygVo
noun revolution ; or blight in the smallest
degree, the well earned laurels of the war 1
worn soldier who sustained the dangers and
privations of a seven year* war-far from
it ——every tongue here would join in giving
»espect tu such characters. But because
this affair was peculiarly interesting to this
County, it being achieved principally bv its
inhabitants, and because so little justice has
Been done It in the history of those times, it
was deemed proper to risque it from ohli
vion by thus publicly celebrati'ngit-and,
*t the same rime to perform those duties we
owe our country, in devoting a portion of
our time to the acquirement of military in.
BUI llld' IUII.
Perhaps it is more to be regretted that
sve are from necessity to give any part of
car time to exercises of'this kind. It is
lamentable indeed, that Man, when society
has arrived at that high degree of civiliza
tion in which it is at present, should have
occasion to devote any part of their preci.
nus time to acquire the means of destroy
ing one anoiher with more, facility. Yes !
fellow men, it is an awful reflection. But
from the depravity of our natures, we find
it necessary that the overruling feelings of
ambition and domination, should be correct
ed bv those means winch are adopted for
their support-that the virtuous—the in
'nocent-anti the weak——may he pro
tecteci from the vicious, the oppressive and
the stt-ong. Hence it becomes a duty to
firepare the instruments of Death, anil to
earn their use to check these vicious pro
pensities, in wicked men and wicked nati
ons.
Let us then, fellow soldiers, be not behind
in military discipline, and let us not only
1* am 'he art mechanically, but imbibe a por
tinn of that heroic spirit from the aged
worthies before us. that actuated them to the
tinblc deed which we commemo-ate this
day. The day may not he far distant, when
We shall hive, occasion to use the instru"
flnents of death we now bear with us ; eve
ry information we obtain of our foreign re
lations, either froth news papers, circular
leters from men in authority, or private cor
respondencies, we learn of depredations

Alarming indeeed to the peace and (ndepen

that in conformity to trie decrees nf^the
French government, our trading vessels are
captured and burnt on the high seas, our
Sail >rs drugged to their dreary dungeons,
wht ’e they are languishing in sickness and
disease, separated fr/.m their dearest friends
YVe are told that the British government

but actually forte them to aid, tn commit

cause we have an empty treasury, or will
be burthened with a public debt, would in
my estimation be almost treason.-The
Death of a Pearce the perforation in the
Hull of the Chesapeake, are indeed matters
of little consideration—the one is only the
loss ot a tellow man, the other has been
patched up with the expence of a few thou
sand dollars—But the blood of a fellow
citizen, murdered at our very threshold;_
the attack on a national vessel within our
own waters, are deep wounds that calcuia
tions cannot heal or patch up. No! thzse
are attacks on the honor of the nation, and
that must be satisfied. Cent fier Centum

spirit pervaded the nation ; I heard it talk

of liberty, and 1 ti ust I oaught a spark, young
as I was, which I will cherish as my noblest
inheritance. To stand quietly with folded
aims and behold our shores stained with the
blood of our murdered fellow citizens ; to see
our national honor degraded by attacking
our national vessels, was not the spirit that

d'faculties and privations that no nation e

ammunition—without men or money—-wc
began the conflict against a nation possessing
all the means of death 6c destruction—but we
fought for Liberty—they for conquest. The
God of nations was with ns ! /Vnd though
we passed through many a vale of horror
; and distress, almost ready to despair, a
gleam of hope would arise and invite us to
[exert every ene»gy which the God of na
tore had endowed us with—Our cause was
jus: ana we prevailed, it is within the re
collection of many who hear me, the difficul
ties we had to snuggle with. Attacked by
a nation of the greatest celebrity of any in the
known world—-possessing fleets & armies
at will, with a thorough knowledge of the
art nf war—who were laying our richest
towns in ashes, and ravaging our sea coast,
on the out*, side .and on the other by a
cruel savage people, ignorant of the laws
of humanity, involving all sexes and ages
in their indiscrimina e destruction Hete
was a state of things that almost appalled
the stoutest hearts; resistance appeared to
be temerity ; but our ancestors were deter
mined to enjoy that freedom in death, which
circumstances seemed to forbid the enjoy
ment of in life——Hence death was disarm
ed of its terrors, and they met it with all
that Composure that suited the glorious cause
in which they were embarked. To attempt
to detail the vari us stages of this contest,
at this time would be unnecessary. Ora
tors and historians have, done it in all its
glowing colours, except the solitary instance
wc now commemorate.
Suffice it for me to say, that nt the very
darkest and most gloomy period of those del
eterious times, our countrymen were hunted
from post to post in almost every direction ;
their spirits broken ; their resources gone ;
ready almost to yield the glorious conflict,
abandon the Tree of Liberty and become tbt
slaves of despotism and pride-The afTaii
