MS Webster said, was heard round the

this that this handful of patriots had
thrown down the gage of rebellion and
defiance.
Washington is known in history as n
providential man; that is, Il man raised
up by Providence to fill great place
and perform great mission. However
This may be, he certainly had great parts
ana great and peculiar fitness for the
most difficult and trying place which he
filled in history. lie had had expert
ence in the previous Indian and French
wars. and had proven himself wise,

great personal advantages for command.
He was of fine physique and imposing
presence, Il splendid horSeman, carrying
with him ever the port and air Of au-
thority and native majcsty-an ideal

Hardly a better instance does history
afford of patience under provocation, of
logged determination under difficulties, of
uncunquerable will and courage, holding
on,so long and coming out triumphant at
last over such mighty opposition. These
great qualities. as we have already seen,
belonged TO the man more than to the
soldier. 1t was indeed the great man
behind the soldier, the man with the
great patriotic heart with the wise head,
and the lofty. mistaken soul, that
brought us through that long and tremcn-
duus struggle and gave us our glorious
place and opportunity among the nations.
No other man on this continent but lie
could have done it. Greene, among the
generals of the revolution, would have
come nearest to it, but he would have
failed.
But in looking over the whole field and
record, in the light of all the facts and
history. Il will be seen that Washington
made no military 0q!lesal,e-. that -. in,

The fame of Washington is so i'm
mense and the popular conception of his
character so exalted. that some skeptical
and fault-fnding critics are disposed TO
question the universal estimate, and cs-
pecially in the matter of his ability as Il
soldier and military commander. How
ever much we may wish it otherwise,
there is in human nature n mean spirit
of envy and detraction which instructive

buke to its own littleness and baseness.
This spirit cropped out conspicuously in
The case of Columbus, in the efforts to
belittle his great exploit and to blackcn
his character. l do not say that criti-
cisms upon Washington's generalship all
proceed from base motives. but they
doubtless do mostly come from the spirit
and innate tendency which have indi-
Gated. This unworthy spirit is as old as

Tho days were filed with happy cares,
And there the skies seemed ever blue,
