Publisher's Synopsis
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 be fore you, fellow students, in compliance with a custom, which, taking its origin in the purest and holiest oi' 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, 1 enter on its performance Without. Fear or hesitation convinced, that nothin more Wlll be expected of me, in the few remarks propose making, previous to the reading of the Declara tion, than the testimony of a sincere love of our coun try, and the desire of beholding it prosperous and happy.
