D The question comes home to us, and it is Il practi-
, cal question, in the language OF MIR. Philips,
; Shall liberty die in tits country? Has God Al
s mighty seoopcd ont the Mississippi Valley for its
: grave? Has he lifted up the Rocky Mountains for
= its monument Has he set N!agra to hymn its re-
. auiem?' Sir, | hope not. | hope that the Missis-
sippi Valley is to be its cradle; that the Rocky
t Mountains are to be the strong tablets upon which
are to be written its glorious t%riumphs; and that
Niagra has been set to hymn its triumphant song.

Of the oppressed. She felt that she was mainly
indebted to her womanhJod for the privilege of be
ing one of the speakers upon that broad %auti-sla.

sive appeal to the hearts and consciences of her au
: ditors, and was listened to with the clos st atten
