believed that England Owed to the exer,ions
of those Puri,ans whom like HAMppEN and
CROMWELL, she woud not suffer TO leave
her shores as they wished to do, the great
measure of liberty which she now enjoys.
Civil freedom, he declared, had its birth in
1920; it was baptized in blood in 1775; it |
will be buried, said Mr.. Warren. just when
we forget the principles of our forefathers.
These principles he defined as, first, that all
true freedom in The country must find its root
in cultivated and educated morality and
second, that, his condition observed, the
happiness of a people will be just in propor-
ton to their intellectual and physical activity.
He alluded, then, to the sneers that are cast
upon the New. England character, and
especially TO the reproach Of Mr.. McDulile,
that its institutions had given birth to an
I" unna,ura, aris,ocraey," ,si-ath nc thought
to be rightly named, since ,-inslead of having
been crooked in a cradle" it was cradied
on rock,-and dared to lift itself, hard and
coarse featured as it was, from digging, and
chopping, and fishing, among gloved hands
and the fishers of men. He spoke of the
great names of New England-of old John
Adams, of Harrison Gray Oils, Of Prescott,
ancestor and son ef the Winlhrops, Rufus
King and others, and said that in New
Hampshire was born lad, who was denied
the three months schooling, to which, as an
apprentice, he was entitled; who after the
peace, sued his employer for this neglect
and received piece of land as damages
which he always occupied as his homestead
he took a company to West Point, received
the thanks of Washington in person for hi,
vigilance. That man left a worthy son
The fathers name was Ebcus=er Webster
The loud and long applause of the audience
saved him the necessity of pronouncing the
name of the son. For further exhibition o
New England character, he referred to hel
churches" with bishops or wHhom blsh
ops )" to her poetry, to her exchange, anc
her counting rooms. lie spoke of her eli
mate, which like that of Russia, was like ;
chccaux dc frie.c to her enemies and exul
ted over the fact that though New Englant
had much of Jack Frost, she had much les
of Jack Cade. Though she had no fail
savannahs, she had some highly cultivated
marshes; and though Burke said certain
weed would grow everywhere, New Eng
land falsilied the saying, for her soil ncve
would bear the weed Of siavcry.
