Excerpt from An Oration Pronounced Before the Inhabitants of Boston, July the Fourth, 1835, in Commemoration of American Independence
Session of the Roman senate - there went forth memorials, resolutions and remonstrances, all breathing the sternest and fiercest spirit of liberty, clothed in the bold, yet carefully weighed language of men, who laid down no proposition that they were not ready to maintain with their bodies, at the can non's mouth. Then and there they were wont to hang upon the lips of Otis and Adams and Quincy, who poured out their patriot souls in no cheap, frothy declamations, but in mighty words of truth and power - deep-freighted with political wis dom - the fruit of painful study and anxious meditation, and uttered with those tongues of flame, caught from the inspira tion which great occasions always supply to great and good men. Ours is the mournful story of the State street massa cre - ours the thrilling tale of the destruction of the tea.
