A HE citizens of America celebrate that day
A which gavelbilrth tci their. liberties. The
recollefiticnnlllofl thisl event, replete with confew
quences lfo beneficial to mankind, {wells every
heart with joy, and fills every tongue with praife.
7We celebrate not the fanguinary exploits of £1 tym
rant to fixlrxjttgate and enflave millions of his fel-
low»-ereagtures ;, we celebrate neither the birth nor
the «CO1"011atiO1‘l of that phantom fiyled a king ;---~
but therefurrefition ofliberty, the emancipation
mfmankilnde the regeneration of the world. Thefe
are the fourcesef 0urj0y,tl1efe thelcaufes of
our triumplu. A VVe pay no homage at the tomb of
kings, to fultxlime our feelings-we-—we trace no line
of illuflriouts anceflors, to fuppottour dignity-—---
we recur to int‘) ufztges lfanétltbnedtlhy .theVa.uthm-
rity of thegreat, to ;proteEto1:tr rejoicings 3-—-——~no,,
We love liberty, we glory in the rights ofmeln,
we glory in independence. ,,:On whatevereepart tof
God’s creation 21 human form pines under chains,
there Americans drop their tears,
