MT. MORRIS ORA1lON.
We have read the Grafton delivered
bv Gnuverneur Morris, Esq. before the
Washington Society, on the late Ami
yersary Of our dependence. with great
pleasure. At this period of calamity and
danger, of disaster and disgrace, the in
structing and warning voice of one OF
the most revered ssges Of the revolution
will not be heard in vain. We behold
in Mr.. Morris an orator of the first or
der, state sman of the clcarest views,
a patriot bold and intrepid. Surround
ed with all the comforts OF easy lie,
urged by no selfish ambition, he warns
US of our danger, with sincerity, elo-
ouence and 6rmness. We have scarce
