It was in the sad necessities that arrayed the Spirit of Liberty against the Spirit of Loyalty that forced our fathers, in vio- lence to all their filial love and reverence for the mother-land into so unnatural a strife. In those days there was no other word for home, but England. Stronger than the recollection of all early wrongs, of spiritual oppression and persecution, was this sacred tie that bound them to the place of their birth. England's pleasant soil, England's renown, England's histor...y were theirs. There rested their ancestral dust. There dwelt still, kinsman and friend. This was the deepest pain the sorest travail of all the con- test, to arm the hand against the tender loyalty of the heart. There was no instinct of treason with those defenders of sacred rights. They were no rebels to just authority, usurping crowns, and clutching sceptres 18 in the lust of power. They were earnest freemen seeking at first, and for long, redress, not revolution. And when the conviction gathered upon them, that there was no peace or security for them or the hallow- ed prerogatives they stood for, but in Independence their first, saddest and yet noblest victory was over themselves.
