Excerpt from An Oration, Delivered Before the Citizens of Tuscaloosa, Ala: July 4th, 1851 To her welcoming arms are now fleeing, year after year, thousands and tens of thousands of the down-trodden victims of European tyranny; and beneath her protect ing flag are gathering the hundreds of gallant, generous hearted, but unfortunate patriots whom the fiendish malignity which rules by right divine has hunted with whips of scorpions from their homes. The crushed and bruised spirits who remain yield for the time to a despot ism from which there is no immediate deliverance; but in their stolen moments of secret communion they breathe to each other the name of America, and feel that, while she survives, there is still hope for them. Their hearts by day go forth across the waters to meet our sympathies and when at night they bend the knee to heaven, their prayers ascend to God for blessings on that starry banner in the West, at the very rustling of whose folds their task-masters tremble in their palaces.
