Show -f A Serious Mistake. What, is this? Charlestown and Bunker Hill monument to be omitted from the line of parade when the London Honourable Artilley company is entertained by the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Artil-lery company "of Boston I And the omission is said lo be due to a hint from the visitors! This is an exhibition of rank cowardice. Ear better would it be for. the London company to face the scenes of England's defeat with a better humor, hu-mor, Mid with tender susceptibilities made subservient sub-servient to the facts and realtiesEverywhere they go in Boston, they will be confronted by' the sad signs of British overthrow. The harbor was the place where the most humiliating tea party in Eng-land's Eng-land's historv was held; it was the 'scene of. British evacuation; 'Eanucil hill, the old churches, tho . 1 ' ' i cemeteries and various buildings, which the procession pro-cession cannot well avoid, will all remind the visitors visi-tors of the defeat, of redcoat soldiery, while even the mayor, who will extend the f reedont of the city is one of the most pronounced opponents "hi "British "Brit-ish tyranny in the country. The visitors are making mak-ing a serious mistake. They should view these scenes with martial courage, drawing the lesson that if the spirit of free America was so poten then, what must it be now? They canuot leave Boston without becoming acquainted with its revolutionary rev-olutionary monuments and memories. Messenger, Worcester, Mass. |
