At tho first Anniversary Meeting-ortho
Frignds of Civil and ItoligimR Liberty in

17th ult. the following eloquent remarks
were delivered by.Gulinn C. Yerplnnk, on
tho-health of the vonorableCharles Cat-
roli;of Maryland, being proposed from the
Chair. The meeting was very numerous,
mid comprised some of the most distin
guished citizens of New-York.
Charles Carroll, the virtuous surviving
tigner ofthe great Charter ofourUberJlies.
The health of Ch.arlos Carroll, of-Car-,
rollton, was received with rapturous and
long continued ppplau.se. After which,
Hf. Verplaiik; mic of the Representatives
« Congress from the oily and'comity of
cw-York, rose and addressed the Chair:
“The enthusiastic Dialing with which the
name of this venerable patriot has j«»t
been greeted, Induce* me* Mr. President,
to request your permission to break In
upon the regtllar ordor of toasts, and to
follow the one last given, by another simi
lar in sentiment, clqsely connected with it
by various circumstances and recollections,
nnd .which I am oonfideut will bo received
in the same spirit." ^ \
The President—'With pleasure, Sir ; it
is iii order—proceed.
Mr. Verplnnck then resumed Tho
name of Charles'Carroll, the patViot^-.tll"
scholar—a liberal, enlightened, and exem
plary Catholic—a Marylander Of the an
cient and original Catholic race of that
State—one-whine name is so gloriously and
durably identified wifh tho mstnry of this
national libertios, amf tlje charter of its in
dependence, recalls tn my mind a remark-
ble fact in the early history of his native
.'tare, . > v • • ‘ '
It is with referenee to this fact t hat I am
about )o propose -to you as a toast, a me
inory—a ountious txo immortal memo
at, as it well deserves to be Called, though
with a.qtiile different application from that
in iwhirh-the phrase is familiar to Irish
cats. It is ono of Iher most curious facts
iu our early-histmy—a fact less generally
known than it ought tn bo—that the- first
colony of modern times which was founded
on broad principles of religious freedom,
explicitly recognizing the rights nf con
science, and the-liburty of thought, was
that of Maryland, a-Roman Catholio colo
ny, founded by a Roman Catholic legisla
tor. Ofthe more minute personal history
and character of Lord Baltimore,the found
er of Maryland, not much, 1 believe, Is
known, hilt we do know that tie had served
his country faithfully and honorably in
peace and i/t wet, apa "that in establishing
a colony for tht retreat of his fellow Cath
olics, Ids first principle of legislation was
Kellginirs Liberty. That single fact speaks
voInmesTn his praise.
This, Sir, is not tho first occasion in
which 1 have attempted to draw the public
attention to his history, and to do honor to
the memory of thiswise and tolerant states
man, It 'as sume seven or eight years
ago, that I hail Ihe honor to be appointed
to deliver an Anniversary Discourse before
a respectable literary society-of this State,
instititteiKor the enitivatioi) and jrreservn

and accomplished men who had preceded
me in that duty—among others the late
Governor Clinton and the late Governeur
Morris—had anticipated many of t.lie most

An apt reply !—Mr. Thomas P. Moore,.
Minister to Colombia, passing through
Bnltimoreon his way to Kentucky,was in
vited on Monday last, to a' public dinner.
—Mr. M. declined the honof, much ns lie
valued it. i "Daring the' recent” conflict
(says he,) tlie people saw mpn, high in -'of
fice, travel through the country seeking
.occasions at dipncrsnpd gatherings to de
nounce oven private fcitizens, unjb to throw
the weight of tlteii; Official 'influence into
tin; scale of a. party, for the retention of.
power unfairly acquired. This 'conduct
wag. condemned as.an abandonment of dit-‘-
ty nnd derelection of piiuciple, corrupting
in its effects; and dangerous to tl;e purity
of elections. Men ha?e changed, but our
principles have not. While holding a
publio Motion under the Executive of the
U. 0. i feel that I ought to do no act which
currhd.to rad”as not unworthy of being as-
socialed with those, which had successively
furnished fit themes for tlie eloquence and
philompby of those' distinguished states
men, . IfwaMhe-enlngy or some of those
vi,limits and erilighreqod men of Europe,
'who long ago, looking will, 'a prophetic
eye upon the destinies of this now - world,
were ninved-by a holy nmbitidn .10 become
members of heaven, in bestowing upon the
futu, o race wjio were to people these shqres,
the blessings of morals; education and lib
erty.’ . - r - s.'-'p
. It was while preparing to do hnmkge to
Ihe mild-nnd pcncefnl vlrtiiej of William
Penp, that I was first forcibly struck by Ihe
fact, which, though it might have lice,,
known to me before, had yet neyervnade
any impression, on my mind, that sixty
years before the - foundation of. Pennsylva
nia, Lord Baltimore bed, in.Maryland”, first
set the illustrious example .of n practical
ami extensive system of letigious fiueduu,.
I did such justice at that time as was in my
power, to boll, of these, -as well as to somo
others ofthe European fathers pf.out conn
try's liberties andkappiness. This is nel
iher tho lime nor place to.enter into, histo
rical details, nor are the minute facts nnd
dates, in reistiqn to Lord Baltimore, very
fresh in n,v memory.
But; Sjr, to estimate justly, the rate nte
ril of siiclyn legislation, let us, foy a mo
ment, hut consider the period at which it.
occurred.
Ir.wiis at a lime, when no where lb the
world could be found a country or state, or
even a single city,, wheio some dominant
form of worship or belief did not crush
down and trample upon all who opposed
or doiiLted> -Those who, in one reign, o(
on-one sido'of a river nr’chahnel, were he
retic* and martyrs,-became at a another
time, or nf a different place, in their tuins,
persecutors and oppressors.- ..
It wts, too, nl a period, when tvon tho
speculative idea of equal religious right
was nearly ril,known. : Now.and then the
faint .and feeble voice of some obscure
scholar or philosopher, was raised for To-
Icraiion, that wgak and imperfect substi
tute for,Liberty of Conscience—Opf it was
raiped sometimes from tile depths of it dun
gdon, and rarely reached the cant nnd ne
ver touched tliohedrts ofthe mighty, ones
of the earth. :£ven on litis western share
what at that pe-iod was to ho seijtt in tl)e
English colonicHon oneh side ofthe infant
colony of Maryland ? In N4w England
the Puritans just escaped from the prison
-arid the-stocks, and;Iho scourge at homo,
had hardly itakien breath'4,eforo they sot
themjclvos to. persecute nnd punish and
banish the Quakers and tlie Baptists
Those very- Purljans of Now England,
when enterprise or. oommorco brought
them to Virginia, found themselves again
heretic*, amt there felt the heavy arm of
the I'lat.iblir.iiod Church. ,
Such Syria tlie spirit of the times—such
theeircumuaiict-sundDr- which Maryland
was founded, and such tlie. merit of tho
founder. ’
But if is not, Sjr, ns a mere piece of cu-
rious hi;wry, stiJJ ksi as a tlismtj of decla-
tnntory enlpc.y, dial,I have been desirous
l . brink these facts to >1"' rccttflcclion "I
lliose who aro hero assemlilrd. It is be-
enuse 1 ii-ganl the* W» affuriling an exam-
pic, nnd a most brilliant nnd inifitossiv
one, of a great ami holy, ami
truth. ...
The fotmder of Maryland, in thus ri
aboveiho errors of his own age, & probably
i.inrlflcing.iheenfjj prejudices of his own
education, had m> liigln r view than that
of establishing n humble colony on n .dis
tant shore, svherb a few of Ills countrymen
might- find rost and peace,and worship God
after tho manner nf their fatliers, or' the
conviction of theft own minds. In tills liisl
mrayers wore I,ear'd and Iris wishes granted.
But, meanwhile, ho was ancnnsoinnslv be
coming tho Instrument of a still nobler pur
pose. lie was unwillingly laying Iho foun-l
il.ifton of a state which Was to bo mto of
lllfee.ullesunemhers ofa great republic.—
||le was preparing a race of republican
[Catholics fofllte tolls and danger of the
struggle for independence, and for the du
ties and privileges of self-government—a
race jealous of their own rights nnd respect
ful to those of other men—a race which
wasln give to tlte church such men as the
learned^ pious, and liberalnichbishop
ICsVrol—to (lie state such'men as his illus
trious relative; whose name alone just ex
cited a burst of 'generous feeling in this
hall,-<o Which no'pomp Aar power of eulo
gy could have given any additional'warmth
or intensity, lic'wns laying ilia sacredl
corner stonoofthnt cdifico nf civil and re-
llgiouseqnalliy, which was deslilloil grad
lually-td take in the wlmlo wide circhit orl
ftlti* land—a land where, (as has been well
unil.tfUly said Ihl,s-.evening) every man’s
Lreligio-t is protected, and no man's religion I
is preferred, where, thrsug.ii piety does not
rear its mitred hsad.in oourls and pnlaies,!
she Aiids.hnrtrne itnd living throne in the
[hearts anil consciences of men.
■ What lesson, then, may we draw from
[this grtutd'arid beautiful-result? Tn me it
seems to teach, that no. efl’urt,no exertions,
no sacrifice .in the great cause of equal
[j-ightsi and cominnn sense, is ever fruitless.
Whether it be like Lord Baltimore's, tire
sacrifice of opinion and prejudice.to Iriflh,
whether it he like your own, Mt president,'I
and so many others -assotnbled around tins
board, that, severer sacrifices lo liberty
which had# ynu break Ihe ties that bound
you to your native |uil anil early homes A-
vuiithlul friends, to seek in another clime
a new home and new friends.(which I trust,
Sir,you have'here found,)—or whether
■he patriot be called lo a still dearer sacri
fice—even to lav down his life in the uause,
like the English Sidney, or tho Spanish
lbiego, or the elder Emiyet of Ireland—
the sacrifice is never lost—that blood is
never spilt in vain.—For a season, the ef
fect may be hidden from every human eye.
But tho seeds of truth are scattered wide
abroad. They are wafted by the winds
[of heaven to. (lie ends of the earth. On
(some remote shore or in some obscuro
nook they-lako root, and that root strikes
deep and firm. There they spring up ini
solitude and darkness unnoticed of pien.—>
lint soon tlie vigorous liuiifc shoots its
broad arms. Tribes and nations seeK shell
ter under its mighty shade,and gather from]
its branches the rich fruits of public great
ness an<l private happiness.
It is, Mr. President, in this trust, and
with these sentiments,that I propose to you
as a toast "The. memory.oJ the wise and
[liberal founder of Maryland.” Ills namel
Ilium be dear to every patriot, and hit ex-1
