Peace and freedom were at length secured; and from that time, through various vicissitudes and diffi- culties, our country, — by confidence in democratic principles, by faith in the people, and by the spirit of mutual forbearance and charity among them, — has gone on prospering and increasing, till in material force it stands among the mightiest; and, did we but always act up to the immortal truths of the Declaration, would, in moral force, be the mightiest of the earth. 21 While the old world,... to which we turned for suc- cor against our unnatural parent, is echoing to the clang of arms, and hostile legions stand arrayed for combat, " We may live securely in our towns ; We may sit Under our vines and make the miseries Of other nations a discourse for us, And lend them sorrows; — for ourselves, we may Safely forget there are such things as tears." But it is not in man to be indifferent. The en- during sympathies of our nature demand an object; and besides, our early ties to France must make us feel a special interest in her actions and destiny.
