Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Oration, Delivered at Ogdensburgh, New-York, on the Fourth of July 1827, at the Celebration of the Fifty-First Anniversary of American Independence The actors in this eventful drama have left this mortal scene another generation has succeeded but their actions, and the mo tives and principles of their conduct, are engraven by the pen of his tory, on monuments more durable than brass or marble. Impartial posterity will not hesitate to do ample justice to the uprightness of their cause, to the purity of their intentions, to assert with them, that it was an urgent necessity that constrained them to separate from the parent state; that a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evincing a design to reduce them under an absolute despotism it was their right, as it was their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future safety. Let me, my friends and fellow-citizens, awaken in your minds the recollection of a few facts in the history of your country, to illus trate this remark.
