Walls of brass resist not
A noble undertaking; nor can vice
Raise any bulwark to make good the place
Where virtue seeks TO entern

Ny friends, we seek no ignoble objects or self
ish ends. Let those contend who will for the
temporary honors which the people will confer
on those who please them best. The ambition
to deserve them is not a mean nor discredit
able incentive to exertion. But there is an as
piration higher than that. 1t is to strive to do
that people good, even against their will whilst
admiring their virtues, not to be slow to point
out their faults; to awaken their sleeping con-
science, even though they may not bless, at the
moment, the faithfulsentinel for doing only his
duty. Such be our province. The glory Of
contributing to save America from becoming
the greatest nursery of slaves which the world
has ever seen, were it even TO be attained at
the price of a crown of thorns, would shed from
every drop of blood of each separate wound it
made a ray of purer lustre than could come
from the most sparkling gems that ever graced
monarchs brow. Let us strive, with all our
might, in the faith that peaceful triumph may
sooner or later yield us this abundant reward.
