ton and ignorance lays heavy on the multitude,
and when the "red right arm" and the g unsheath-
ed sword were almost the only instruments OF
honor and renown. And is this the idea which
America is 10 fulfill Is the strong race that
comes up from her streams and her mountains,
from the portals of her free institutions, and the
cherished soil OF her battle fields, only TO work out
the designs of wealth and territorial grandeur Is

The faith that bore Columbus across the unknown
deep, cries out against IT. The hopes that its DIS

that were wrought out In exile and prayer, and

But It requires vigorous exertion TO check the
tendency of the age The desire for wealth, for
acquisition, appears at present TO be the all absorb
ing sentiments; We have examples of it in the thou
sands who have left their homes, TO try their for

that, IN the clear, calm light of freedom, she is
growing III strength and beauty shedding abroad
upon the immortal blessings. Let not those
who seek their own interests more than their coun-
try's, undermine the foundations upon which our
cherished institutions are built; but let us labor
that they may increase in greatness, until the
world shall be Protted by the influence which they
exert; and let us labor TO thwau the designs Of
those who would sever the bonds which unite as
in one common cause. Let our motto be-'Our

The above is part of the address. 1t breathes
the same spirit throughout; but is too long to copy

liberty, upon which the world may gaze with adj
