GRANITE AND PATRIOTISM.

A very beautiful monument has lately
been GU, from Concord granite, at Mr.
Luther R"by's stone yard, at the norlI
end Of Main street, TO &c erected in W.
Cambridgr, MISS; on the spot where ia,
son RusscIl and II other American cilr-
zens were killed by the British army on
the 10Th of April, l775. Il was compIe.
Ted on The Sd u!i., when all lha wo k
men in the yard assembled around hr
obclisk, and one of their numbea, Mr..
II. Lawrence, an old workman, who has
laborcd hard with hammer and chiseI for
more than quarter of "a century, being
called upon for some remarks, made the
following:
"My friends and fellow mechanics
Before us is plain and simple, but
beautiful and enduring monument, dcs.
tined 10 be erected on Il hallowed spot;
spot consecrated by the blood Of free.
dom; spot which may well he styled
the grave Of our falhers-;Ie birth place
of our liberties. This obelisk is TO bo
erected TO the memory Of twelve mon,
Uhu fell in the early part ofslr,fggIe for
American Independence; men, who no.
bly, dared to oppose the giganric st'idcs
Of British tyranny; men who in defence
Of human rights stood forth erect on the
battlefield, undsnayed by the roar Of
British thunder, and amidst the red light
ming of the war storm; men who poured
ou their life blood for the political and
religious liberties we now enjoy. And
nov, my friends, standing as we do a.
round this granite finger, which is tn
point from the hero's blood stained grave
to the hero's home in the sky, and pos.
sessing, as trust, some small share of
the patriotism which animated the breasts
of those heroes when at their coun,ry's
call they offered up their lives in defence
of democratic principles, and in view OF
the glorious triumph that has ever al
tended, and which sill awaits the great
principles for which they fought and
died, think il suitable time and place
10 give three hearty cheers for demo-
cracy-for Cass and Butler"
This was responded to by three as
hearty cheers as everrose from the hearts
of an equal number of New Hampshire's
granite sons.-Pdtriot
