stupendous mass of intellect
and talents which characterised qur con
test for independence, did the naked glo
rious spirit of which I speak, contribute
to lead us through a sea of troubles, and
fix us on the mighty pedestal of empire.
Come and see the miracles of valor
which it wrought in “ the times that tri
ed mens’ souls.” Behold the legions of
British and Hessian veterans, moulder
ing before it like stubble in the furnace.
Descending upon onr leaders and troops
as inspiration from heaven, it sustained
them upon the imminent brink of des
truction. It was shoes to their naked
feet, clothes,to their naked bodies, sus
sustonance to their hungry nature, it
came in the stead of experience and rev
enue, and during seven eventful years,
crowded and adorned our annuls with
more brilliant instances of greatness,
than embellish ages of Grecian, Roman,
French or British history. Os Wash
ington itmade thatimeonceived Original
! of hutqan excellence, which, while it
obscures all that was brighest before he
; arose, forbids the hope that we u e’er
shajl look upon his like again.” Around
that fixed star of our pride and honor it
lit up that band of compatriots and
great men, whiph will endqringly cop
stellate with him, shedding propitious
influences on the latest posterity, and
“ marshalling them the way that they
should follow.” To-day, what a flood
of magnificent recollections overflows
our minds! We ascend hill after hill,
where the firm redoubt awed the con
temptuous armies of the foe to suspend
their march of devastation; and as the
intrepid handful smote the haughty in
vader and forced him to recoil upon his
path, still smoking far behind, with tho
ruins of comfort and happiness, our
hearts leap within us with the exultation,
of having had such fathers, Wo trw
verse plain afteb plain, and piously seek
. the trenches Where stood, where bled,
where conquered or died, the atchie vers
of liberty and the winners of immortali
ty. Through all the vicissitudes of vic
tory and rout; of the flushed advance
and dispirited retreat—in tlie inflexible
stand of desperate valor, or the able and
cautious manoeuvres of generalship, our
memories fondly hover with the revolu
tionary banners, and our hearts deeply
enshripe each interesting occurrence.—
Thus to remember, and thus !o honor,
well becomes us at all times, but more
especially now. We profess to meet
here express)} - to look back upon the
birth of our freedom, and must not the
animating retrospect be chiefly filled
with those who nursed that freedom in
its perilous cradle, and held over its in
fancy the shield of self-denial, virtue and
valour ? But my poor eulogy only tar
nishes their memories, and freezes the
affectionate tribute to their worth which
your bosoms arc now spontaneously
paying. The Muse of History has long
since.,foiled back the -vapours that so
soon encroach upon tfie deeds of men,
and enchased in a clear and steady light
the whole attractive, record. Thither
jet us go ourselves, and lead our chil
dren as to a sound and deep fountain
,of pure principles and invaluable exam
ples. A great man has finely said, —
t)iat history is philosophy teaching by
example.” Ours of the revolution is
, Virtue inspiring by example. May the
inspiration never waste its efficacy upon
a degenerate and fallen posterity.—
Y outh! of this assembly, there you may
warm yourselves into that vital love of
country which every age lias contended
to extol the highest, and which pours
such splendor upon the chronicles of
man. When you hear patriotism ridi
culed as a sound, or scoffed at as pre
tence, remember the arduous sufferings,
the unfeed sacrifices of your fathers, and
indignantly kindle at the slander. Glow
ing with the honest pride of Americans,
fearlessly, advert to the conduct of our
heroes at the close of the war. With
the arms, which they had so long, so
arduously, so gloriously borne, still
in their hands; poor in every thing but
honor; reduced in every thing but vir
tue; did they listen to the eloquent de
fection which addressed them from Mew
burgh ? Did they consent to make re
prisal for tl*e exhaustion of their
strength; the consumption of their lives
and the wreck of their fortunes in the
service of liberty, by strangling her in
the porches of her temple and dividing
her inheritance with the very swords
that had been drawn to protect it ? Did
they permit the pleas of selfishness, ad
mirably counterfeiting the tone of rea
son and assuming the sanctity of justice,
to inveigle them into an infamous scram
ble for rewords and perquisites, titles
and baronies ? This powerful and ggj-
Lijt republic to-day replies w ith near ten
' millions of tongues —they did not I they
would not! We look around to see
those matchless leaders of the field, and
those unbaflled guides of the cabinet,
sitting in the haughty saloons of nobili
ty, amidst the princely domains which
their impetuous arms bad carved out, or
their policy secured. But those dignita
ries of nature meddled not in the things
of low ambition. Most of them have al
ready successively gone to the grave in
republican simplicity, and unassuming
modesty; neither starred with the gew
gaws of courts, nor debased with the
1 vanities of rank; but distinguished alone
by the keener fires which rushed into
their eyes at the allusion to revolutiona
ry deeds; and by the brighter compla
cency with which they witnessed their
children realizing the prospects that had
so powerfully cheered themselves in the
dark days of the contest. When the
' Commander in Chief, in 1783, came
before Congress to surrender his 'com
mand, followed with the benedictions,
and blushing under the plaudits of u na
tion, did he assume that haughty de
meanor, with which Bonaparte entered
the National Assembly upon his return
from Egypt, to make the guardians of
the laws cower beneath his frown and
transform his sword into a royal sceptre?
Washington was infinitely Above such
mockery of greatness & such henson to
his kind. He approached the President,
■ not with the pomp of the successful chief
tain, demanding homage as his due, or
■ fiercely scowling contempt on all around;
but \viih meek and benignant gravity.
• If the body by whom Independence .had
, been declared, was tljo most awful that
i the world hacj ever seen, here was an
, individual who comes before the same
, body, bringing the laurels cf an hundred
• battles under such circumstances of 11-
1 delity and moderation, as for a moment
i to diminish that august assembly out of
• notice, and disglorify its highest deeds.
: Having now” said lie in the condu
l sion of his address, breathing the subli
[ mity of his soul, and veiling the brilli
-1 ancy of his services in the frankest mo
- desty —“ having now finished the work
3 “ assigned me, 1 retire from the great
i “ theatre of action, and bidding an affec
r 11 tionatfe farewell to this august body,
1 “ under whose orders I have long acted,
3 u I here olfer my commission, and
, (i take my leave of all tlie employ-,
- u ments of public life.”—Wonderful he
-1 ro and spotless patriot! in that mo
i mont the boasted great ones of the world
- became contemptible; and history drop
-3 ped her favorite trophies of excellence,
• now faded and depreciated., Poetry
r turned from her glittering fictions to
i, dazzle in tlie splendor of this novel re
. alily : while eloquence fretted over the
t poverty of epithets and the imbecility
, of figures to shadow forth the simple
3 grandeur of the scene. Let us then
- commit it to silence and reflection. As
- long as this unmatched instance of self
denial and patriotism shall inspire our
3 souls, no future warrior will dream that
1 the victories of his sword, however sig
r nal, can justify the uucurbable ambition
-of his heart, to dictate submission to his
f encroachments, or to beard the majesty
- oftlie laws at tlie very shrine of the con
, stitution. As long a« the undegencrate
3 citizens of this nation shall remember
t this sacred standard, what public ser
-3 vani shall dare to measure his services
3 by the scale of vanity, or ask them to be
J discharged by nothing short of file sac
j rifice of civil authority and the debase
- ( ment of the laws ? Jf any should, they
i would then perish under the frown pf
- their country; apd their memories black
-13 en deeper and deeper to the execration
i of ages.
i We gladly turn from even from the
r glimpse of such a monster, whose hor
) rid spectre sweeps so unseasonably over
, the pure and delightful contemplations
t of this day, to more appropriate objects,
r We turn to you ; ye fair daughters of
. of illustrious mothers.—You are the
i flowers that festwm and grace the stur
. dy pillars of our liberty. Though little
. of the gentle blood of your sex was spilt
r to cement the temple, the snules of your
! mothers animated the bhilders, and
; their virtues gave tone to the courage of
i their fathers, husbands, sons and bro
- thers. While their industry was patri
- oticallv clothing a suffering army, their
f sweet eloquence established the waver
[ ing or fired the inglorious. “ I will tell
; you,” said a lady of Philudolphi, writ
s ing to a British officer at Poston, a for
. mer acquaintance—“ what 1 have done.
. My only brother I have sent to the camp
, with my prayers and blessings; 1 hope
1 he will not disgrace roe; lam confident
■ he will behave w ith honor, and emulate
, the great examples lie has before him;
• and had I twenty sons and brothers,
i they should go. 1 have retrenched ev
t ery superfluous expense in mv table and
I family; tea I have not drank since last
; Christmas, nor bought a new cap or
. gown since your defeat at Lexington ;
. and what I never did before, i have
. learnt to knit, and am now making
. stockings of American wool; and this
• way do I throw my mite to the public
j good. I know this, that as free 1 can
; die but once, but as a slave I shall not
i be worthy of life. I have the plea
r sure to assure you that these are the sen
i timeuts of all my sister Americans. —
I They have sacrificed both assemblies,
- parties of pleasure, tea drinking and lin
. ery, to that great spirit of patriotism,
, which actuates all ranks and degrees of
. people throughout this extensive conti
i nent. If these are the sentiments of fe
. males, what must glow in the breasts of
i our husbands, brothers and sons r They
are as with one heart, determined to die
■ or be free.”* Such were the language
and sentiments of American women
, when the clouds of kingly vengeance
. were darkly mustering and had already
begun to burst upon their country. —
Their charming daughters have a shin
. ing title therefore to embellish our anni
versary meetings with their beauty, and
sanction out joy with their approbation.
They too can look upon the mighty fa
bric of our rights, and claim the glory
of having had mothers who substanti
: ally contributed to its erection. They
can vow never to smile upon a renegade
i to the principles, or a despiser of the
, actors of the revolution. Knit in a pure
. and indissoluble band, they can begirt
the altar of Liberty, with the power of
Love. They can enlist into the impreg
nable defence of our rights, the strong

the ardent corps by their virtue , & vic
tualing it on their smiles. Rely upon it,
ye blushing shrinkers from the mead
ot desert, that Freedom looks to you for
much o,f her protection and perpetuity.
Averting her eyes for d moment from
the btawtiy arms ami lion hearts of her
sons, and ceasing to contemplate the
victorious swords which they brought
out of the late war to heap upon her
shrine, site to-day fixes upon you a gaze
full ot Solicitude, but beaming with del
ight* ’She rejoices to see you in the midst
ol this psscmbly,actuated by the feelings

cause during the arduous conflict which
established her glory in America; and

our minds into the elevated glow, which ;
might prepare us to spend this day like '
Americans. It is enough in the cele- 1
bration of the Fourth of July, a custom '
which I hope to see more & more conse
crated by time, grid spreading with our j
limits, to be absorbed with the glorious
individuality of the event which distin
guished it. if the mind must piously and
fondly diffuse itself over the connected
occurrences, dwellingly upon each me-'
morablc agent, mid anticipating each
splendid destiny, a laborious particula- ,
lity in your speaker, would but retard
tjip rapidity ol its combinations, and
scandalize the ardour of jts tribute.—
