She will stand acknowledged, while the world doth stand, as the early promoter and champion of the rights of the colonies. The English crown frowned upon her w ith severity and indignation ; it only made her stand more erect, and put on a face of greater bold- ness and defiance. The parliament poured upon her all its indignation ; it only held her up with greater illu- mination, and drew towards her a more enthusiastic at- tachment and veneration from the country. Boston, as she was in heart, i...n principle and conduct in 1774, so may she remain, till her three hills shall sink into the sea and be no more remembered among men. Gentlemen, these early proceedings of the citizens of Boston, and other inhabitants of the county of Suf- folk, deserve to be written, where all posterity may read them. They were carried to the Representative of Royalty, by the first distinguished martyr in the cause of liberty, Joseph Warren. How fit, that he, who was not long afterwards to fall in the defence of this liberty, and to seal his love of country with his blood, full of its spirit and its principles, should be charged with its remonstrances to the throne of England !
