Humanity is expecting its revival
from the New World. But, however
your example may suffice to others, we,
in our present straits, need also your aid
How glorious will it be to your country
to cooperate in the work of liberation of
the Greeks, in which the other Powers
have remained insensibe to the voice of
justice, piety and humanity The glory
alone of such deed would be an ample
reward. But the Greeks have never
shown themselves ungrateful, or want
ing in the duty of acknowledgement. And
as they formerly crowned the friendly
cities with crowns of gold, and honored
them with precedence at the assemblies
and games, SO they will again honor and
crown their friends and allies"

In taking the Resolution to live and
die for liberty, we feel ourselves drawn
toward you by a natural sympathy. 1t is
among you, that liberty has found her a.
bode, and she IS worshipped by you as by
our fathers In invoking her name we
invoke yours; feeling that in initiating
you we initiate our own ancestors. and
That we shall show ourselves worthy of
them, in proportion as we resemble you.
Though separated from you, Ameri-
cans, by mighty oceans, we are drawn
near to you by our virtues. We feel you
to be nearer to US than the nations on our
frontiers, and we regard you as friends,

you are just, benevolent and generous.
Just, for you are free:-Benevolen and
generous, for your laws are the laws of
the gospel. Your freedom does not rest
On the slavery of other nations, nor your
happiness on their oppression and woes.
90 the contrary, free and prosperous
yourselves, you wish that all men should
partake these blessings, and enjoy the
rights which nature intended for all. 1t
isyou, who first asserted these rights, and
You have first again recognized them, in
restoring to the oppressed africans the
character Of Men. 1t is your example
which has led Europe to abolish that
shameful and cruel traffic in human flesh;
from you, that she learns the lessons of
justice and the duty of reforming her ab
snrd and sanguinarv customs. This glo-
ry, Americans, is exclusively yours, and
exalts YOU above all the nations renown-
ed Cor good government and freedom.
1t is now for you to perfect your glory
IN aiding US to purge Greece from the
bartariaDs, who for four centuries have
polluted it. Surely it is worthy of you to
discharge the duty of all civilized nations,
in expelling ignorance and barbarity from
the native soil of the arts and of freedom.
You will not initiate the culpable indiffer
ence, or rather the long continued ingrati-
tude of some European nations.-No the
country Of Penn, Of Frank lin, and of
Washington, cannot refuse her aid to the
descendants of Phocion, Thrasybulus,
Aratus, and Philopemen. You have al
ready evinced in your confidence in them.
