Excerpt from An Oration Delivered Before the Phileleutherian Society, of Georgetown College, on the Fourth of July Actuated by feelings of no ordinary kind, I come before you, fellow students, in compliance with a custom, which, taking its origin in the purest and holiest of motives, has been sanctioned by the experience of fifty years. And although fully aware of my inability to perform the duty you have imposed upon me, yet relying on your partiality, I enter on its performance without fear or hesitation; convinced that nothing more will be expected of me, in the few remarks I propose making, previous to the reading of the Declaration, than the testimony of a sincere love of our country, and the desire of beholding it prosperous and happy. The great, and, indeed the only objection which has been made against this custom, one too which does not want its supporters in those, who, boasting of their esteem and veneration for Liberty, are totally ignorant of its sacred principles, is, that it serves to renew recollections of the ancient feuds and wars between the colonies and the mother country, fears which should be hushed in the tomb of forgetfulness, and forever banished from our hearts. But where is the American that does not reject with indignation such a proposal? What! That we should cease to remember the great struggle of the freemen of America against the tyrant of England?
