Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Oration on the Anniversary of the Battles of Champlain and Plattsburgh, Delivered Before the Columbian Society in the City of New York, at Tammany-Hall, on the 11th of September, 1816
Can such a state of things continue What honest man would wish it? A whole nation degraded - and for what to elevate one man, whom not even a crown can make a king! A whole people in bondage - and who the tyrant? The restored pensioner of a foreign power! Shame on the American heart that could form the wish!
