6 IF we recur to our foreialhers we sha
find them republicans from the beginning
The spirit OF freedom drove them from
their native land, and brought them I,
this, then bowling wilderness. Genuin,
principles of liberty were conspicuous ii
all their proceedings. These principle.
they carefully handed down to their sons
and in every period Of the country's pro
gress they have been conspicuous. They
broke out in full splendour in i775 and rs,
of which the declaration Q, iudelendenee, is
an illusirious proof Again they shone
forth with efficient listre in 1897 and ss,
and the unhar0llrted constellation Of the
United States was their fruit. These an
Gent, deep-rooted, republican principles
OF the country must be most sacrediy re-
gardei for, be assured every variation
from Them will be resisted and bring on
convulsions. Give me leave to say fur.
Their you will not mistake the will and
pleasure of the country, if you give all
your friendship, all your best wishes, and
all the support an your power 10 The in.
comparable constitution of the United
States. This consti,u,ion was adopted by
a fair expression of the public with 1t is
the government of the country and The or
dinance Of God. When we examine lis
merits, we find it but another edition Of
the genuine principles OF republicanism,
equal rights its foundation, and the wei
fare of the people its object. The preci.
Gus maxims or the declaration ofindcji en-
dence are Transplant ed into the constitution.
! And as under the former, the country
/ marched to victory, so under the latter
she may advance to prosperity. Let the
constitution then, be esteemed the Palla.
dunn OF all that we hold dear. Let it be
venerated as the sanctuary of our liber-
ties and all our best interests. Let i, be
kept as the ark Of God. OBEY the laws
ct government be genuine friends ofor-
Ger. BY thus deyoting yourselves TO The
principles of our excellent constitution,
and to the existing laws of government,
you viii be sure to do the pleasure Of the
country.
Let this character be invariably main
tanned. onno occasion, and on no ac-
count let u sink into the low regions of
party. Stpop not TO the extreme little
ness, far from such despicable things be
your conduct. Let the American cha
racter be borne aloft. Let it soar hike the
eagle OF heaven, its emblem, bearing the
scroll OF our liberties through, fields of
azure iigh', unclouded by the low bred va.
pours of faction. Let the spirit Of our Ga.
Tiers come upon us. Be men rise ::
}-let another race ofpa,riots appear. Let
America once more be the admiration OF
the world"
