A number of his influential officers
had but RECENTLY suggested the iormu-
nation OF a monarchy with himself as
King, and his indignant refusal and
stern rcbukc was the example set
which resulted IN the ppaceahc dis

set apart to your other speakers. | can
not pass this incident without pointing
to its application tn all men. The truly

by hatred of England.
Splendid rs was the heroism displayed
in the revolution and the rebellion the
American people earned its greatest dis

after these events, it returned to the or
binary daily routine of busy domestic
and mercantile cares.
No man ISIS great as he who overcomes
himself and the natural instinct for eX-
element and renown.
