nor 10 assume uVon myself the Grateful duty of
pressing behalf Of the state OF Maryland the earnest
sympathy Of her people in the glory won by CbaleS-
town Boston and Massachusetts, IN that momentous
conflict on this hill in which the great hba,on of
patriot blood offered 10 cOn,ecrate the first ire
vccsbe and decisive action By which this vast Rspub
Gcan Empire was destined 10 be brought into exist
ence. | know toll well how fondly and how seusibly
every man and woman ct Maryl cherishcs
the traditions 4 their fathers touching that conflict
With what appreciation they hand those traditions
down to their children! How they use them tn re-
fresh their own love of country, and tn nstl into the
youthful hearts Of the rising generation Mt their own
trosides the pure element Of loyalty TO our national
freedom and to that uni n of the Stutes by which 1t
is to be preserved; and know also a. well that IN
every narrative of that glorious struggle the first and
o incident TO which they refer Is the Bat
tie cf Bunker Hill and the heroic death Of Warren.
With such n training of the heart in the lesson Of
patriotisni-with such enrichcment Ot the memory
with great deedslow could il be otherwise but that
MARYLAND would look with the sincorest regard aud
most cordial applause upon the glorious work in which
Massachusetts is this day engaged | wish, Sir, l

loted to me in the proceedings ON this occasion,
earnestly and forcbly as feel my own high estimate
Of the glorious spirit in which your State and city have
acquitted themselves of duty which this whole land
reiOces 10 contemplate.
Much more do | wish that could in language :
eloquent the sentiment itself convey to the minds of

OF Yorktown lies a long space OF national
tias, filed with the history of n people
laholing in the btththr0es OF grand empire. Ii is
history Of pryation endurance aud suffering, made
iusriOus by brave contest aud many brilliant achieve
ncnts. No actions in the whole course OF these
events won admiration than those two which
marx the beginning and the end. Sir, IN many, per-
laps in ost of tie notable of these conflicts
MaryaCd represeted by her Sons IN the field who
often bore her banner the peTiious edge OF battle by

about should have placed upon the muster roll Of
Banker Hill the names of some of those worthless my

or Smith or Howard-as fit comrades tor common
Immortality with your Warren Prescott and Putnam.
Tn friendship cementcd in those days of trial has
been delivered from the fathers To the sOna, and II IL
sbut debt of honor due 20 the founders ut our Re

reverence tC the men of the past by a sacred
ntuture of that harmony OF sentiment which
prevailed in the beginning and by united homage to
ihose great principles of civil liberty and cOnsttu
floral right which the elder generation cherished and
which it was their persistent endeay0r and highest
