To answer ibis question, it needs to go
back to the time when, seventy-five
years ago this day broke on our fathers
luridly amid the storms of war; to
follow onward the course of

nlcness of many among us, the per
verseness of others, and the criminally
ambitious vanity of a few, are by their
assaults on the Union, endeavoring to
bring the people of Massachusetts.—

condition.
When the Declaration of Independ
ence went forth to the world, a proper
constitutional government—that is, a
social fabric deliberately commenced
from the corner stone of universal nat
ural right, and built up in all the sym
metry, beauty, ar.d strength of a perfect
whole—was a thing yet unknown on
earth, and to be attempted by us for
the first time in the history of man.
A population of only two millions of
souls, scantily scattered along the nnr-
row belt of land between the Allogha-
niei, and the Adamic ocean, constitu
ted the people of the United Colonies.
Beyond the mountains was a vast wil
derness—the lair of the wild beast
und or the human savage. Our public
resources were nothing, save the strong
arms and stronger hearts which we
inherited from our British sires, and
the spirit of independence, personal
and national, which had been diffused
among us in the shadow of the secluded
forests of the New World.
Two generations only—that is, two
of the average periods of human ac
tivity—have since passed. They were
our grandsires who founded thc United
States. , But now where and what are
we f Our population has filled up
original seats. It has swarmed across
the Allghanies, nnd occupied with its
industry, its power, its principles, its
civilization, the vast nnd fertile valley
nfthc Mississippi. The remote Rocky
Mountains hnve proved no barrier to
its progress. It now stands upon the
shores of the Pacific, with expansive en
ergies unabated, regretful, not like Al
exander in the limits of India, that nt
kingdoms remain to be conquered, but
