ed before them, great even in their
wiekedness, and pleaded with elo-
quense and efiesi the good deeds oftheir
lives. Many a manly struggle, many
glorious Geld, many a noble death,
many a true statesmen, speaks elo-
quently for England. But though
they may cause 4 moment Of relent-
ing, the truth returns with yet great
er force. The fruits of those manly
struggles have been lost TO great
part Of the world though the selfish
policy OF those whose duty il was TO
extend to others the blessings they
enjoyed themselves. Those noble
men would, were il not for America,
have died almost in vain. Those true
statemen have always formed weak
minority. The glorious principles,
advanced so brayely in the middle
ages, have been stopped short OF their
Legitimate results by the narrow
minded statemens of The present age.
Those great battle OF freedom were
fought, not for England alone, but for
the whole world. England having
proved false to her trust, America
has been raised up to extend TO the
nations the blessings which first sprang
up on English soil. When England
exerts an influence abroad directly
opposed to liberty and progress, she
disappoints the just expectations of
mankind, and gives up all claim to
be considered benefit to the world.
She knows her duty. She sins against
the light. Interest is so strong mo-
tive that she is tempted to put under
her feet all obligations and all ties
As she grasps, the whole, she will
one day lose all. Her hand is against
every man, and every mans hand is
