A If, however, we tracethis political phenomenon to its cause, we shall find that it has its origin in that Va» cuity orlololiquity of the intellect which the policy of tyrants has made the perpetual inheritance of slaves... Intelligence is the destroying angel of despotism... espotism, therefore, inlbeing the foe of intelligeiice, acts only. in defenceof itself. ~ a i . l is l T Alas !. what horror fills the mind i at the recollec- V tion ‘Aloft those political abusesby which poor human nature has been borne down to the Very earth. tWho can l1~eflect withva tame I and equal temper on the thousancl accursed inventions to debase land torture man-3--man, Whom the Divinity has fashioned after his own great image; V Bastiles have ‘been erected to shut him from the light and air of Wl1eaVe11»--and in». quisitions have been instituted for the vile purpose of l placing an itnpious guard over his conscienceand, his understanclin0*. Bending beneath the Weight of this accumulated and all subduing tyranny, man exliibited a larnent»- “ able and repulsive M picture of huinaii misery and de- gradation. By habitual slavery, he had become un— conscious of that exalted rank in the creation to which nature had given him a proud and hallowed title. The feet of Kings having so frequently trampled him in the dust, it is no wonder if he thought he Was born for no other purpose than to give impulse to their contempt; and popish arro-L gance having claimed the empire of his :mind.,wand having long waved over it the gloomy and terrific sceptre of superstition, it is indeed no Wonder if he had not the audacity to think without a license from his confessor. l 4 l Such has been the condition of poor, insulted, degraded and persecuted man. Nature had no eharms for him ;---it only reminded him of his wreteh-. edness. The deer that bounded along the moon..- tains, and the eagle that Winged his ambitious flight to the sun, served but to force upon his attention the thortifying and distressing contrast between their ii» herty and his own Vile bondage. l He saw not i1€2':t«-a veniin his ‘prayers, nor comfort in his penitence; A hooded and cassocked monk was the austere and gloomy idol before Whom he bowed and worshipped; and his own rjblood, streaming from a self inflicted wonndsrgwas the awful signal of -hiss repentance. l l But letrushnrryr from this disgusting spectacle of human "clebasement; and View nian in that attitude of all attractive dignity in which he appears under the wisest and happiest of A governrnents. _ It his the pride and boast of A1ne1“ica11s,*that they live nnderlo constitutions and forms of government founded on the ‘broad rand stupenAdousA bases of natu- ral justice and political, phiiosopliy. r The essential nltiztnate sovereigiity of the states and of the ;;na- tion,j resides, therefore, in the people, who are either directly orindirectly the dispensers of their authori- ties ;: and Whosetvill, the1*efore,, is but another name for thoselaws by which they are governed. A If, on the Aonehand, these laws be tyrannical, the people must blame theniselves; forthey arevirtually and substantially ofitheirovorn enactincr. ‘ If, A on the other hand,theyira1*ewise_ and huniane‘, the people may, with propriety, take all the glory to thernselves. A A We are no less distinguished for our religious than for our civil freedorn; V The sanctuary of i scone science ii is unprofaned; And ash A a A belief a in“ God and 3; future state, constitutes the foundation of every religion; sot}. every citizeii, whohas this foundationi,_ may erect A nponi it What Superstructtiie _ he pleaseos. ‘t/Vith the Hebrew, he may worship in the synagogue, and anticipate in fond imaginationthe it Acomingtlof his long looked for ilMessi‘al1A; or, with the deist, hemay explorerthe immense ovolurne of creation, and “loolr. through nature up to nature?s God.” Withi theoqua-s» 9 _ ootfiobuovl ker, meek and unostentatious, he may sit in mute but solemn reverence, i and contemplate in silence the God whom he adores ; or, with thellifervridv and impas- sioned catholic, he may kneel at the» altar, and ehaunt “Te Deum” before the crucifix. Such is the happy, and l splendid, and glorious condition of Americans. It is the proud acquire- ment of superior virtue, and is an acquisitionwhich vicar; never be lost till stupidity and vice seize the gem- pire of the repul:)lic. It is the rage of party and of avarice which alone threaten the destruction of American liberty. A Party is scarcely any thing but augsignorant, ii- liberal, and furious zeal about trifles. Yet to accom- plish its little and insignificant: purposes, there is no eripeidient,howeverrdreadful or desperate, that it will iiiotf vseizietl upon. Axed rose and a. wliite one may excite it [to a madiiess, Whieh the blood of a whole nation yvill hardly appease. It looks at every thing through theibedizzened and deceptive medium -of prejudice. "It palliates the enormities ofvice, or er..- aggerates the failings of virtue", as best accords with its own selfish and guilty purposes. t l By its magic power of metamorphosis, it can trans.- form a demagogue into a patriot, or a patriot into a demagogue ; a philosopher into afool, or a fool into aphilosopher, as best suits the humour of its mad- ness. To-day, it makes a passive and unresistiug obedience to’ government the infallible criterionof patriotism; to.-morrow, it reverses its system of pol» itics, and hurls, with remorseless hand, the arrows. of i in it I0 persecutioii againstievery one who does not fly to the standard of rebellion. It is a fiend of accursed nialignityiwhich fixes its baleful glances on social mi domestic joys, and like Beelzebub, first seduces their innocence,and then triumphs in their destruction; 4 Avarice is also another formidable foe to vi‘rtu- ousi liberty.--A-Theo peculiar characteristics of this vice are stupidity and meanness.‘ A The avaricious man loves nothiiig but money, and money he will have, 110W detestable soeyer may i be the ineans ’of!its attai11me11t; do in He cantread with heavy and sluggish step oveirtlieiconsecrated ground; of genius, Withouti putting Os‘ hisshoes, in imitation ofloshua, and With», out feeling any troublesome sensation of A reverence or of awe; and he can vacantlyi stare and gaps at the 1nonuments,which rise in proudmagnificenceiaround ‘ him, with no other Wish than that th"eim0ney Which theycost were securely in his pocket.

Ask such a man Which he should prea fer, ‘peace or A war, ~ honour or disgrace, slavery, or freedom, colonial submission or national indepencl-p enee, and he could not answer you tvitlioutfirst con- sulting his arithmetic or his price currentfi, These are the grave and infallible oracles to Whichhe fondly and credulously appeals for a prophetic solution of all his doubts. It is from them that he has learned his politics and his taste, his ethics and his religion. Thus much for these two vices so inimical to our republic, the spirit of party, and the spirit of avarice. But it would be unbecoming. this joyful and splendid anniversary to brood over those gloomy and sickly causes which may one day retard the prosper- ity, or accelerate the decline of our freedo1n., Let us rather indulge the proud and sublime confidence thatheaven has decreed that our , libertlies sliall be immortal.

A l l A What; though therfirallic 1Vl1en nothing but united efforts would promise its a safety. . a By the it pilot’s skill, it has reached the destined port. In the land of peace, of plenty, and of freedom, we now meet to participate the pleasures and the pride of freemen. While sullen treachery retires to its congenial gloom and broods over its disappointrnent in silent ichagrinm while heedless opposition,» of late clarnorous and via» clict;iVe,ilights up a forced smile from the ltincler of its 16 consumed patriotism, and with harmless irnpudence demands credit for the “abortive labour of folly; let it suiiice that the peace, the honour, the independence, and the union of our country,.are preserved. i Let the history of the past he called to mind, not as the invidious, voucher for the triumph of republican men; but as proof of the Wisdom and success of re- publican measures—-—-—Not to disgrace those who have been honest, even in opposition; but as the epitome of that experience by which folly may correct its past er. rors, and become Wise for the future. _ It may not be irnpertinent to take notice of that ma- lignant fiend----party spirit, which has gorged upon our ’ ambition, our vices and our folly; till, pampered to loathsome disease with its sickly food, it excites disgust, abhorrence, and contempt ;“ and promises, at worst, its reformationweat best its speedy dissolution. On this and every, other occasion, which bringsus to the contemplation of the common interest anddangers of our country, the mind should be elevated above its own sordid passions. Whatever may be the difference of opinions, every fibre of the honest heart should yi- brate to harmony of sentiment. i ii But for the sake of salutary admonition, I Wouldiinot remind you of that rancor---that illiberal asperity, so unbecoming the manners of the gentleman, so incom- patible with the dignity of the patriot, and the sanctity of the christian, that has so frequently disgraced even this anniversary»--An anniversary intended to celebrate, and which will, I trust, in spite of the little conternptible organs of partyrage, perpetuate the glory of America‘. *9- I’? If our Reverend Doctors of Divinity deem it their duty to insult their auditcirs and defy their God, with the bitterness of their political rancor; let our laymen set a , nobler example, when they ascend the sacred desk, and purge it of its pollution, by their purer pre-A cepts. A t A I have made these introductory remarks, not so much at the call of strict propriety, as of my friends and associates in this celebration, who Wish on this, as Well as every other occasion, to manifest the liberality of their views, as Well as their firm adherence to the . principles of our revolution, the support of our govern»- ment, and our union. , t In this brief intrusion one your patience I am confi-» dent I speak the sensmeiats of Em/ce2a12*zzz .43- socéatioazwe--sentimieiits, which I hjopewilltbecorne telxtem sive, and Well founded, as the fame of yonder recreate /zill, consecrated by the blood of our Warren, and his compeers in glory, to that Independence which We en; joy and now unite to celebrate, and to makiet_/.2erAg2‘etuaZ. ” After the exercises at the Meeting-hou‘se, the Bunker-hill Asso- ciation, joined by a large number of Republicans from Boston and the adjacent towns, assembled at the New State-House, Where the following procession was formed: A ” IWILITARY. .
