their united love of right declared to the mother country and the world that they were wore nd of right ought to be free an and d inde pendent the oppression which hastened this declara declaration tion tinn the long iong struggle the sacrifices and hardships which followed and the glorious results are so generally known that I 1 need not task your patience by rehearsing them on this occasion you are also aware that integrity patriotism and an enlightened policy long marked the course of government our our rulers studiously sought the best interests of the people and they in turn sustained their rulers by yielding a cheerful obedience to wholesome laws but bat we are now row in ayoso a position well deserving des rvin the serious consideration of every lover over of freedom again to avoid the repetition of what you have hive 0 so o often heard the constitution of the united states liis ins been read in ilen lien of the declaration this ibis course will also better prepare cour minds for contrasting many of the political movements of the day with the guiding principles es contained in that inspired governmental system so worthy of ofir admiration and support rt glancing at the past perhaps we as a ilove people eople have more reason to respect lionor honor love iove and cherish the government of the united states hr her constitution and free institutions than aavo her people upon the face of the earth but it is lamentable that professed statesmen hould should so far deviate from wise and corr princia principles les ies of republican government as to fail of being entitled td that respect and e confidence ond e nce wll wil which ich ou ought ht to be deservedly deserved deserve dby oy those e entrusted ted ami ih its administration i in this connection permit the reflection as to what favorable action acton we are indebted for our existence as a people le to what casual circumstance can be attributed the assemblage of this vast concourse for the purpose of celebrating th anniversary of so memorable a day U poi upon pol io isolated spot where but nine vears years pa past st solitude reigned unbroken save by the music of the elements the cries of wild beasts and the untutored sounds of the still more savage red men what cause has awak ened piled to life and civilized improvement these desert plains these barren wastes we exist and are the protecting power of alm aim almighty aty god amid the constant and fierce opposition of those who seem unwilling to recognize his hia right to rule upon this planet of his own creation we live through the flip blessings of the almighty and by his provi dences we have nourished isid ibid and sustained ourselves we are willing to continue so to do we came here to be free from oppression aria arim an and we do not wish such characters to follow us or to tarry in our midst but we say to all ail lovers of freedom virtue and good order in every land you are welcome welcomes omes for you will respect our rights our laws and the legitimate obligations of of our re republican government tive dive we inow know how to repel aggravated agg insolence how bow to tear off the mask of f hypocrisy andem and expose the imbecility and corruption preying proving upon the vitals of the body politic and how to thwart the deadly malice aimed to destroy our free institutions whether emanating from secret 4 enemies in gur jur oar our midst or from foes with 1 out jesus said he that is not for me is ia against me he that gat hereth not with me scatter eth abroad we are occupying a region well known as being becu peculiarly ii lar I 1 undesirable andone and one hitherto unsettled by the tie whites since the days of christopher columbus we are almost a thousand miles from the nearest seaport we are hemmed in by lofty mountains on nearly every side while numerous isolated ranges rances and barren arid plains so crowd our surface that bt bilt a small portion is at all suited to the purposes of settlement in even those narrow I 1 localities ditches and canals have to be made by much labor fabor labor labon in order to irrigate a soil where on rain seldom selda ni falls from early in in spi spring rin 0 until antil late in autumn and when all has lids been deen done that as yet could be towards supplying the thirsty crops the husbandman is oft compelled to witness the products of his bis toil and die ere maturity through the failure of the few small streams so laboriously brought under control grasshoppers and other insects swarm in myriads to 10 devour what may have escaped the drouth and the severe storms of I 1 winter complete the destruction of animals struggling to subsist upon hl herbage which has been so effectually cut ent off bat but amid all these disadvantages unendurable by any other people eo we ere still striving to extend the area of freedom and to gladden the most moat uninviting domain of a great nation with the blessings and grivi privileges leges of her free institutions it t is a obvious that no person comes here because he be prefers this country ona one but sinister teror geror or pecuniary motives can prompt those who are hotl not of ug us to abide in our mist all other localities have hare more tempting temp tir facilities for the pursuits of the agriculturist the artisan the trader andy andr and more especially the lawyer and politician if this thia people should leave these sequestered vales they would soon revert to their former waste condition silence would again a assert her supremacy the ile country suits aults u ume merely rely because no other well informed people can covet its possession if they do it is because they grudge us a an n existence upon any part of gods footstool there is r nothing aion ing here except what is produced by the most moat arduous toil and that often unrequited to tempt the avarice or cupidity of any reasonable creature it is useless therefore for cor official cliques who never have identified their interests with the welfare of this territory and who never intend to to seek to dictate govern 9 0 vern yern and control us in view of these facts we fondly anticipate soon seeing the day when in accordance with the spirit and intent of our republican government we shall be blest with he the full enjoyment jentof of our oar ri nights rights e his and have thib the privilege of elec electing
