The following forms part of an Grafton de-
livered in Savannah Oh the 18th instant, by
John E. Ward, Esq: ..
H.Let it not then be beneath the pride, nor
beneath the gratitude of an American, to re-
!.l>nber that ia the noble band that composed
the first Provincial Congress of l775, was
Murray--that to the deathless charter Of
their rights, are fixed the names of Thorn
ton anil Smith-that the soil of Canada has
been consecrated with the blood of a Mont
gonery! In our time, the enterprise Of a
Herman has lent new wings to commerce
beneath the hand Of Carey, the stores OF
learning have been unfolded in new forms OF
beauty Our forums have echoed with the
appeals of an Emmet-while the eloquence
of an England has lent new inspirations to
our temples IN 0. Advertiser.
Where was Murray in l776? Did the peo-
pie consider him unworthy to represent them,
or was he afraid to trust himself amongst
that f:disloyal crew. the Signers Of the De-
caration
Matthew Thornton and James Smith both
came to this country while still Ill their lnfan-
CIV, and consequently before it was possible to
Undue them with the supeystltons and preJu-
dces of their fatherand. They were reared
and educated as Americans as a law
YER. on the frontiers Of Pennsylvania, and
Thornton as a physician, in Massachusetts.
The arrival of the latter in this country was
as early as l7l6, and that of the former could
not have been more than five or SIX years al
forwards. 1t would have been surprising, in
deed, if living upwards of fifty years IN this
country and never having known any other,
flor thew left Ireland before they could possibly
have had any impressions of ltO ltwould have
been. we say, surprising, after all these cir
cumstances of early arrival, education, and
long life n, America, if they had refused to
fight for America:
What though they were born and lived two
or three wears of their infancy away IN for
eiqn land? They were reared and educated,
and for fifty years lived as americans, before
thew were called upon to take that course
which afterwards so distinguished them in the
annals of liberty-The same comments, with
but slight deviatons, apply to the other wor-
thies mentioned above by Mr.. Ward, and to
some whom he has not mentioned. Among
whom are George Taylor and Robert Morris,
both sieners of the Declaration.
But how absurd it is to cite SUCH names
as proof that the hordes Of Irishman daily en-
tering our country will after a larry of five
years make good citizens and honest and en-
iightened voters! As well might those guilty
mvriads which persisted beneath the Deluge
have claimed refuge in the Ark because they
were the cou,,hyn,en OF the wise and vlrtuous
Noah
But SO it is when we corner our adverse
ries, splinter their weapons, and reIute their
arguments, as their last resort they sneak and
and shield themselves behind the "meno1yo q
