ORATION
Delivered in Craicfordrillc, on the 4th of
July, lc2G, hy J. Rossi(<not., Esq.
When, in compliance with the invitation
of the court, I open my lips before the eiti
zens id’ the county,to eoiniueiinnorute the
Anniversary of th s Nat.onal Festivity, l
feel my.-elfoppressed, both by the gramJem
of the subject, ami by my own incapacity.
For what nation, however remote, has not
heard of the American nuino ? W hat citi
zen of this growing Empire has u >t deeply
impressed in memory the deeds of Ins an
cestor ? nnd wlmt cm 1 relate, which has
not often been expressed iu beautiful 1 ac.-
gunge bv the greatest orators in the coun
try ? Confounded at these reflections ; aw -
ed at the contemplation of the majestic
event, Iexp nonceabackwardnnosH, which
nothing could remove, were I not convinc
ed that iny humble deference for ihe wishes
of the court, would insure mo or. your part,
that indulgence which I do earnestly claim.
Half of a century has aliuady elapsed
since that declaration win* h created a new
Nation, and led to the adoption of a new
form of Government in the Western world ,
halfof a century has already flown hy since
America gave the astonishing example of a

and pass through the ordeal of numberJess
vicissitudes and perils. They had to en
counter in the field nti army of voterjus,
commanded by skilful officers, ami furnish

war; whilst America at that time, com
paratively spe dung, had no other weapons
lo oppose the mighty foe, than lhninnocfliu.c

her patriotism !
Is it necessary to recall to your iinagina- I
tion, tin* griuvance!i, the galling oppression,
and cruel tyranny, under which tin: old 1
states, as British Colon eg, were suffering ?
You have just heard the enumeration of
them. You have seen that system of injus
tice and usurpation, which your enemits
pursued with such an unrelenting persever
ance and animosity, that left the Americans
no other alternative than that of tlie most
abject submission, or resistance by the
sword ” However before an appeal hould
be made to arms, America faithful to that
dignified patience and culm forbearance,
which had presided constantly over her
councils, left oo means of conciliation un
tried ; entreal.es the most pressing, remon
strances the most solemn, were often mads,
and as often rejected with haughtiness and
contempt hy the British Crown.
Determined to enforce her obnoxious laws,

with which she grinds down millions of out

But the impaiti.il and reflecting observer

in which he finds the light necessary to
gu»de his judgment ; she points out to him

independence, defending successfully, in
indent times her liberties, with a handful
•f hemes, against the most powerful mon
arch of the East. She murks out another
nation establishing hy the expulsion of her
Kings from her stately Capitol, a gigantic
republic, whose limits and sway reached
the utinvist confines of the world. But

At the time this famous declaration of In
dependence was issued, the country was in
vaded hy a numerous army Boston, the
cradle of American liberty, was in their
possession, and transformed into a unlit
• amp. Deprived of those advantage* u Inch
had made her tho great emporium of trade,
she has now the mortification to behold h
most distinguished citizens proscribed, and
the rest treated as common rebels. In uddi
tion tollieBosevorocalamities,several towns
become a prev to the flames. Here, the
ag- d sire bending under the weight of \ ears
Hr native virgin wrapped up in timid in*
nocencH, the lender and disconsolate mo

trembling step shelteriu tho forest ! At tin 1
eigi.t of theso chilling horrors, tho citizens
of Massachusetts do not remain tranquil
spectators—they fly to arms in defence of
their lire sides and of those sacred privile
ges which belong to created man Their
example was immediately followed by tlie
other Stales.
The battle which soon after took plac
Bunker’s Hill, threw consternation and dis
may among the ennni)—They who had
e doubl ed oil an easy conquest, now find
from this brilliant display of American he
roism, what resistance they will have to
enconntei from silc h a pcopleaml in tho midst
of a country whole hardly one traitor is to
ho ret lioned! Although compelled lo with
diawlVotna disadvantageous position, the
Americans remain victorious. The blood
of llieir heroes, of those m r yrsof Liberty,
was onthato 'casionshed with profusion,hut
new herons sprung up again a* hold and as
eager to he revenged on the r < itiel enen
It is assuredly a grand and sublime spec*
tacle so see an infant nation, just oniergiri;
it 1 may use the expression, from tho wi
dr moss, gloriously contending, Jor prior
pfi sand independence against the most
powerful nation of tho Globe, intoxicated
by a long serin# of stiecesso*, and still poa-
m »*ing the means to insure victory.
Meanwhile tho General Congress, ever
alive to the trust reposed in them, neglect
ed nothing in their power, lo place the
country in a proper state of defence. Ha
ving, Im.vever, at their disposition, but few
of those means with which tho enemy a-
bounded, and unable to provide for all exi
gencies, the\ felt it necessary to make an
appeal to the patriotism of their country-
men, and similar to a shock of electricity,
or with the swiftness of lightning, it reached
in an instuut tho mos, distant corners of the
Confederation. Money wus immediately
furnished, and a regular army raised; not,
of mercenary soldiers—not of men lighting
for the ambitious purposes of a l’rinco, hut
of l’utnotif, marshalled under lliuslaudard of
Freedom und Independence. As yet a lead
er was wanted mid a loader was found.—
Washington, whom former services had
rendered illustrious, is by unanimous choice
h ought forward, and ilie destinies of Aim
| rica are committed to Ins cure—Mild in hi
disposition, unamhilious in iiis views, he
has no thought dearer lo his heart, than the
salvution of his country. Invested with
dictatorial power, he uses it uvt to oppress,
not to enslave, hilt to assuage the misfor
tunes of Iiis fellow-citizens ; to assert their
rights, und make their enemies tremble—
To the genius and penetration of Hannibal,
he unites the prudent caution of Fabius.—
Under such a chieftain, the American army,
through an intemperate ardor, may expert-
♦•nee a cheek, but timy remain unvauquish-
ed ; limy may, from the nature of tlie ground
and other circumstances, he compelled to
change their position, hut mill they stand
unbroken. The boldness ami combination
of thoughts with which he pursues his
plans k. ep tlie enemy in perpetual alarm ;
and whether in the inactivity of the camp
during winter quarters, or in the sum s*ful
tide ol victory, this gieat man, who after
wards received from his grateful country
men th® noble appellation of pater pairin',
Father of his Country—was ulwuy s dreaded
by Iiis enemies, und always encircled by
glory. Tho invasion of Canada—the re
Heat from Now-York—th bn»tle of Tren
ton—tlie capture of Burgoyne, are deeds of
such military splendor, that on that score
as well as any other, America has nothing
to envy the nations of the earth.
The war had now lasted cb ot f »ur Years,
with alternate success in difi’eient parts of
tho Union, in « .eiy plait, and in '.*ry
emergency the Americans displayed puit
heroic valor and cool intrepidity, which

A LUNATIC AfcYLUM.
If there be any calamity incident to hti
man life that tleserves eommiseratii n. it is
tlie loss of icason. It there is any misery
attached to the life of man, that is worthy
of Legislative eid or relief it is the mffu ry of
maniac or Lunacy. It i» the more so,
as tlie subjects ol k are not conscious them*

\N hat limn w it bout mingled feelings of

And if lie cannot feel when there, ct rtain-

'I'.iis fs not true, for I know several cases
within my acquaintance that arc equally as

Taking into consideration Lunan^s, ma

now deplorably the case, it a member of a

t ey are doomed to linger out a miserable
existence in the ho*om of an afflicted fami

thern Asylum tlie immense distance of sop-
elation, besides the expense in comovanoa,
iV.c. prevents the relatives from contributing
to their cornYort, and having their anxious
solicitude relieved hy frequently hearing
from them besides the (tain felt by families
in separating.
\Vln!e tho Treasury of Georgia is swelled
with resources, which will soon he further
increased, instead of wasting money on
less nohh objects, would it not be humane,
benevolent and chuiitable in the next Legis
lature to make an appropriation for the pur
pose of building a Lunatic Asylum hi soma
healthy part of till! Slate where Lunatics
would he healthy and have tho bem fit of
medical aid. Two objects would be natu
rally held in view hi the erection of an es
tablishment of thi* kind. 1st To relieve
the poor from the pam and burthen of sup
porting the insane among them. 2d. The
prospect of many being relieved by nodi
cal uid. Tout many have been, and are ca
pable of bring restored to reason by medi
cal assistance is sufficiently proven by
the "ecord* of institutions tor this pur
pose.
The Asylum once established, would
probably be supported by tlio&o who aro
\ | able, paying for the support of tlie iusano
s« nl by them to the institution. The best
way however for it* permanent support
would be for the Legislature to endow it
w ith a small body of land, iu the late pur
chase.
Many states in the Union, with resources
less adequate to the purpose than Georgia,
has with becoming charity, erected charita
ble institutions of this kind. In iYunsyl-
vunia there is 2 or 3, in New York tharu is
as muii v or perhaps more. They are found
m nearly all the New En land Mates, ns
also in .Mankind, Virginia, and South Cuio-
hita. The one at \V lihamsbuig in Va. is
of ancient date, and with all very detective
iu many respects. It is on a limited scale,
and not competent to receive perltaps half
