FIAIOJAL ORATION:
Delivered kj r> n .. fc -ro;; Tones, Esq. (at
the solicitation qf a numder f the most
respectable inhabitants of Richmond ,
Virginia,) on Saturday the 4th of
July.
Fellow-Citizf.ns,
Upon the dawn of this day, for one
and thirty years, we have been accus
tomed to look with the gladness of
freedom. We have annually hailed its
arrival, as the auspicious birth day of
American liberty. It was the reful
gent morning of emancipation, and its
mild radiance has cheered our hearts,
and lent an hilarity to our countenan
ces, which neither the trophies of guil
ty conquerors, nor the magnificence of
mighty monarchs, can ever bestow.—
Much would it joy me, upon the occa
sion of this holy festival, to approach
my fellow-citizens with the usual con
gratulations, and greet them with the
accustomed salutations, upon the ac
complishment of another year, of peace,
liberty, and Nippiness. But our an
cient foe, with whom we wrestled In
ourjouth, will no longer permit us to
the blessings of peace. No de-
Bwation of war has been proclaimed,
but the act of war has been committed,
by the foul, coward-like, cold blooded
murder of our unprepared and defence
less fellow-citizens.
I will not say that our countrymen
have been killed—because that expres
sion may imply death by accident, or
in some manner that may be justified
or excused; bup I use the word mur
der, in its:felonious and in its basest
sense:—For there has not been the
faintest glimmering of provocation on
our part, nor the smallest exertion of
manly Valor on theirs, to illumine the
dark atrocity which enshrouds this
gloomy event. No, there is not, my
fellow-citizens, one solitary circum
stance, in all this tragical transaction,
to do away the guilt, or extenuate in
the slightest degree, the enormity of
this meditated murder.
The free and high minded citizens
of this great and elevated western com
monwealth, have been treated like the
slaves of despotism : they have been
forced into an involuntary servitude, on
board those prisons called British Men
of War:—They have been compelled,
under the lash, to risk their lives in de
fence of a cause, not merely indifferent,
and foreign to theirs and their country’s
interest, but often hostile to both. As
an aggravation, (if any aggravation can
be added to the loss of liberty) they
have sported with their lives, and in
several instances, particularly the de
testable occurrence, which it is the ob
ject of this meeilng to uepioiv «»<d vato I
crate, they have actually murdered
them :—Ytsl the “ sensible warm emo
tion” of our brave and generous tars*
is converted into a “ kneaded clod;”
and the remorseless grave has received
their lifeless trunks, or their swoln cor
ses are buried deep in the caverns of
the ocean, or they have become food
for sharks and dolphins. Mourn,
mourn, my countrymen, for your hon
or is insulted, your independence is a
mockery, and your liberty itself is but
the tittering jest of a tyrant’s slaves.
But let our mourning be short; let in
dignation succeed it; let the lightning
of liberty from the west, blast, dissi
pate, and scatter into “ thin air” the
heavy cloud of guilt and oppression
that lowers in the east.
Nothing can exhibit to us, in a strong
er point of view, the national insult we
have received, than the melancholy
contrast between the appearance which
the Chesapeake may be supposed to
have worn at her departure from Nor
folk, and her return to that place.—
The frigate was built at that port, and
from this circumstance alone may be
presumed to have been a favorite there.
Behold then the citizens assemble to
witness her departure, and follow her
with orisons for a prosperous voyage;
the cheery sailors to the sound of a
music of their own, raise the cumbrous
anchor; shouts answer shouts from the
beach to the frigate ; now the fragraut
gales of our groves bosom her white
canvas; now the broad flag, emblem of
our independence, gemmed and em-

Which seetn to recede from him : Thus

• in sight of land! freight, cargo, all, but
the dishonored and violated vessel, ri
fled by the ruffian hands of British pi
rates ! Lo ! see her return ! slow, sad,
and wearisome she comes : the Ocean,
a mirror, reflects her dishonored hulk
back upon her perforated sides ; shatter
ed, dismasted, shorn of her national
emblems and honors, she sinks igno
miniously upon the mud of unwhole
some wharves ; her deck still reeking
with the blood, and deformed with the
mangled carcases of our slaughtered
countrymen! Americans! that blood
rgi| s f or vengeance upoa-its authors;
«vnW those authors are thsfcyicked and
infamous men who now rule Britain.
During the administration of that
great political luminary, Mr. Fox, there
was an approach towards amity, and
even cordiality, between the govern
ment of the United States and that of
Great Britain. But the spirit of Fox,
has fled, and with it has departed, per*
haps forever, the good genius of the En
glish nation. The administration which
lias succeeded Fox, is the most corrupt
and treacherous upon earth ; and how
ever, as a peaceful and humane nation,
we may regret the evils which our mea
sures may inflict on the innocent peo
ple of England, yet in practice, we can
not separate the government from the
people, nor confine the dreadful retalia
tion which we mediate, & ought to bes
tow, to those only who have been guil
ty of the aggressions on us. Witli one
hand and with one heart then, let us
unite to take an exemplary vengeance
on that government, and that people,
which, for so many years have annoy ;d
and insulted us.
This day, should reviVe in us the feel
ing of‘76, and animate us to rally ar
round the standard of that indepen
dence which was then declaied The
great state paper which records that
event, has been a continued and lasting
glory to Americans-—let us not lose the
high behests, which the wisdom and val
or of our fathers achieved—let not the
pure sentiments contained in that im
mortal instrument, be ever sullied by
our direlection from its principies let
not that which is now our pride, be turn
ed to our shame : it remains for us to
shew that we are the legitimate offic
pring OI IIID3C oil *» liwav <!•« J« kavp
rendered the name of an American ci
tizen, a name of honor and renown.
I shall not attempt, in this concise ad
dress, which the particular nature of the
case seemed only to require, to appeal
to your passions; I should be wanting
in respect to you and to myself, were I
to do so. I should not do well to endeav
our to rouse in the bosom of any Amer
ican, those ieelings which he is presum
ed already to possess, and which it is
certainly dishonorable for him not to
possess. And happy am Ito observe
that a task of this kind, is spared to ev
ery man ; for no one meets his fellow
citizen, who is not agitated by emotions
corresponding with his own. We have
forgotten, we have buried in oblivion,
for ever, I trust, the divisions which
have distracted our country. Gentle
men of talents and virtue, which expres
sion comprehends every human excel
lence, who have hitherto differed with
their fellow citizens, on points of local
policy, come forward with promptitude,
zeal, and firmness, to avow to the nation,
and to the universe, their confidence in
the wisdom and patriotism of the gov
ernment. There are now no divisions
among us ; we have no parties , we are
one great integral colossus of liberty,
standing upon a rock of adamant: And
with whatever violence the black sur
ges of the Atlantic, may heave her vast
floating castles against our base, they
shall retire back, like the retireing wave,
and burst, like the dubble, that swims «x
the surface.
