THE SPEECH OF DIR. BRUINS

At no desire or solicitation ofmine,
but in obedience to the call of nv
fellow-citizens, I appear Before you
tonight. Recognizing civil virtue
as corner stone Of republican gov
eminent, ! believe that in grave con
juncttres Of public affairs, civic du-
ties rise to the height Of great moral
laws, and no nature however humble,
and no man, however mean his talent,
however inadequate, has a right to
f6r.g go his part and participation in
public action when his voice is de-
manded.
Twice within fortnight the peo-
pie of this great city have metih con
yention. Two weeks ago you assem-
bled i'll large numbers at the Clay
Statute, to protest in advance against
this compromise, the nature Of which
had thus for the first time reached
your ears, and standing there in that
vast assembly, looking up at the
| statue of the great orator of Ken,
lucky, l thought that if that iron
form could have descended from it's
granite pedestal, and once more
could those bronze lips have spoken
in those triumphant tones you knew
and loved so we'll, that the man who
had spent his life in vain attempts
to compromise for the Interests and
safety of his people, would have
warned you ere you should enter into
any adjustment to sacrifice the vital
principles Of life for temporary poll.

the nations, the individuals, the PEG
