AT BUNKER HILL.
ApostropIie OF Daniel Webster to Ia.
fayettc.

On the 18th of June, 1926, at the laying OF
the corner stone of Bunker Hill monument,
on the Goth anniversary of the battle, the
great American Statesman and orator, Daniel
Webster, addressed General Lafayette as fol.
lows:
Sir: We are assembled to commemorate c
the establishment Of great public principles
Of liberty, and to do honor to Tie distinguish
ed dead. The occasion is too severe for Gu
logy to the living. But sir, your interesting
relation to this country, the peculiar circum'
stances which surround you and which sur
round us, call on me to express the happi-
ness which we derive from your presence
and aid in this solemn commenoration.
Fortunate man with what
measure of devotion will you thank God, for
the circumstances of your extraordinary life.
You are connected with both Hemspheres
and with two generations. Heaven saw fit
10 Ordain that the electric spark of liberty
should be conducted through you from the
new world to the old, and we who are now
here TO perform this duty af p,ifiousin. have
all of us, long ago, received it in charge from
our fathers to cherish your name and youl
virtues. You will account it an instance of
your good fortune, sir, that you have cross
tu the seas 10 Vlsll us Ut II tlIilC WHICH tui'
bes you to be present at this solemnity.
You behold the field, the renown of which
reached you in the heart Of France
and caused thrill IN your ardent bosom
You see the lines ofithe little rcdoubt thrown
up by the incredible di'' 'ucc of Prescott
defended to the last Ca .emiy, by his lion
hearted valOr and within which the corner
stone of our monument has taken its position
You see where Warren fell and where
Parker, Gardiner, McCleary, Moore, and other
carly patriots, fell with him. Those who
survived that day and whose lives have been
prolonged to the present hour are now around
you. Some of them YOU have known in the
trying scenes of war. Behold. They now
stretch forth their. feeble arms to embrace
you Behold! they raise their trembling
voices, 10 invoke the blessing of God on yol
and yours forever.
Sir, you have assisted us in laying the
foundation of this edificc. You have heard
us rehearse, with our feeble commendation
the names of departed patriots. Sir, monu
ments and eulogv belong to the dead. W.
give them this day to Warren and his asso
cia,es. On other occasions they have beer
given to Washington, to Greene, to Sullivan
to Lincoln. Sir, we have become reluctant
to grant these our highest and best honours
further We Would gladly hold them yet
back from the little remnant of that immor
tai Band. Serus in c0lum rededs 1llustriou
