grand old man held the people of the New

1882
Gen. jackson said:
TT is one of the most gratifying incidents
of my life to meet my fellow-citizcns upon
Bunker Hill, at the base of that monument
patriotism Is erecting, and upon the sacred
spot hallowed by so many interesting recol-
lections-a rich spot in the various national
objects which it presents to view, and richer
lin the associations, moral and historical,
which belong to it. llaqt u s1.iEi
The earlier incidents of the Revolution

events-the vigorous preparations to resist

the services. sacrifices, and sutfefings Of this
generous and enlightened State, and the

these recollections crowd upon my mind, to
render this one of the high places, where
American citizens will ever repair to con
template the past and indulge in anticipa-
tions of the future.
An when to all these are added your NOR
al, social, literary, and religious institutions,
your happy equality of condition, your char
liable establishments, your foundations Tor
education, the general diffusion Of knowl-
edge, your industry and enterprise. and
when We reflect that most ofithis is common
to the New England States, YOU may well be
proud of your native land, and our country
may well be proud of New England.
| have seen much to admire and emulate,
nothing to excite regret, and if my journey
be attended with no other results to myself,
l shall feel amply repaid by witnessing this
fair prospect of human comfort; by finding
that, however high I had rated the moral
and intellectual character.of the Eastern
portion of the Union, / had yet to learn !

But the impession is on my heart, and will
only leave me when life departs" sd
