trotism, and the first victim in the cause. AS
which has rested on us for two generations.
He then proceeded to give brief history of
the statue, speaking in high terms of the chief
patriots thereof, who have now all passed away
and continued, nor let it be thought in erecting
the statute of Gen. Warren and bestowing the
honors OF the day exclusively upon him, we for
get the services of the brave, whatever rank
they partook, with like courage and patriotic
devotion, the perils of the ever memorable
l7th of June, ITS, to honor them with the OBJ
ject of time defined work, which crowns the
hill on which We stand, cold as the clods on
which it rests and still as the silent heavens on
which it scars. 1t is yet vocal with eloGuence
in their undivided praise.
No one | am persuaded, said Mr. E., will think
it strange that the first statue has been erected
to Warren, NJ one but that must desire that the
example should be followed by those of Put
nam, Gardner and McCleary, and OF whonso.
ever else a grateful posterity may be worthy to
be assigned this posthumous honor.
