we head; nor so thue an lnsahed nation on the glede which will not!
be taught by us to vindicate ehei: sacred righte. On the contrary, if we
sail, there is not a Naught)" monarch living who will not tyranmze with
unfold tyranny, nor an unhappy people growing under the yoke of
flavery who will not be forced to bend their Wrcrched neck: to one still
more galling. Our success depende, under Heaven, on your conduct.
" then you fiend nobly forth, and behave l-ke men and soldiera, how
ginriom your prospect! You will be iuRly'called not only the deliveren
of your country, but the brave assenera of the liberties of mankind.
Your country will venerate you, and the latest : : throughout the world
relnre ygr gallant exploits, and attribute their realm and happinesa to
you. in such a cause tatigues and danger mntt be a pleasure, and death
ngloriom lot. What generoua soul can hear of a soldier't brave] (! ing
in such : war. without vying him his happy sate! We muzali die
in a few years, and no o e'can tell but that thia day may be hie last:
An apoplexy may bring a sudden and as certain death as :: cannon ball.
A pleurisy, the gout, [tone, or rheumatism, may give a: great pain at
any wounds" can receive in battle. We have therefore nothin to fear,
and we well how, that iswe had, fear is unmanly and disgrace ul, and
must rob a soldiet of that presence of mind which has often saved thou
sanda. and can alone make : hero of him. Let us therefore lay aside all
fear, which can never turn aside a ball, or in any degree [risen danger;
and let no bravely push on wherever our commanden bid us. Let ua
duitate ons immortal General, and not oniy acquire the reputation of
bavin delivered America from flavery, but also of fixing on Virginius
the : and envied wicket of brave.
