Men, who had long been disciplined in the school of virtue and heroic enterprise. Men, who by experience had acquired all the arts of self-government, and whose spirits were unbending as the oaks on their native mountains. But nothing could divert England, from her mad scheme of subjugating her colonies. The immortal Chatham, in accents solemn as the responses of an oracle, told her infatuated min- istry, — " You CANNOT CONQUER America. '' The thunder of Bunker echoed across the Atlantic, in ac...- cents still more audible, — " You cannot conquer America. '' But all in vain. Injury was added to injury, and insult to insult. Our country was plun- dered. Our towns were laid in ashes. Our coasts were covered with hostile fleets, filled with British regulars and foreign mercenaries. Every thing por- tended destruction to America. At this momentous crisis, a voice was heard, terrible as that which spoke from cloud-capt Sinai, — " You shall not conquer America. *^ It was the united voice of millions, who had sworn to live free or die.
