SPEECH OF Mr.. HOLT.
Fello,O- Citizens: came to Boston, as do
many American travellers, not merely to
look upon the city, beautiful in itself-up
on its monuments, and upon those mag
nificent landscapes in which, as jewel,
| it is set-but also to revive, if haply ]
might, the glow of my patriotism amid the
thrilling associations that cluster around
this cradle OF the Revolution. [Cheers,

of memories which can never, never lose
ltheir fragrance; here are altars whose
| fires, though kindled in behalf of human
rights nearly a century ago, have waxed
only tile brighter for the years through
which they have burned. No true son of
the Republic can press the soil of Bunker
! Hill without having his 7vencratton for
your great ancestors deePened and exalted,
and without feeling his VOWS of devotion
to the country strengthened and renewed.
