Tho victory at Bunker Hill was triumph for
England rs well as for America. It was victory
over stupidity, bigotry, and tyranny.
The people Of England fought with us there,

day he watched It. He saw 1t before sunrise,
when II was crowned by . column OF mist. He
saw that whole column when the rays of tho
rising sun sent golden light playing all over It,
and the rainbows bending over II. He watched
II at the gorgeous sunset, when the column was
illuminated at the summit, whore 1t seemed like

The argument would nov bo thus divided:
First, the speaker would endeavor to show that
all against us In the late war, or q majority Of
them, were SO because they did not under.tsnd

thoroughly, anything about the matter. One
class did not like American institutions, as
such. They wore the aristocracy. They were
jealous OF our greatness. Britannia liked to rule

world. America was rivalling her In both
