Awakened, at last, from the moral and intellectual lethargy, under which for ages she has lain pi'ostrate, the pity of the free, and the scorn of the oppressor, with the consciousness of her de- gradation has returned the memory of her former glory. On her mountains, amidst the ruins of her temples, in her sacred groves, and on her sea-beaten shores, has the voice of liberty resounded. From her fields, more proli- fic than in the fabled days of her origin, have sprung up bands of soldiers ; and... her seas, not less fertile in the means of her deliverance, have brought forth armed ships. Wherever her enemy appears, he meets her victorious defenders. With the spirit and the energy of her heroic ancestors, proudly does she bear herself in the contest. 13 Though it is under the sacred banner of the Cross that she fights for liberty and for knowledge, still no free, no civilized, no Christian nation, aids in the holy struggle. Yet, alone, but self-sustained, thus far, in victorious splendor, she has waged the unequal war against her mighty foe, her blood-stained oppressor.
