He said : ** Here, then, long years ago I took my stand for freedom, and where in my youth my feet were planted, there my manhood and my age shall march ; and for one, I am not ashamed of freedom, I know her power. I rejoice in her majesty. I walk beneath her banner. I glory in her strength. I have seen her again and again struck down on a hundred chosen battlefields. I have seen her friends fly from her. I have seen her foes gather around her. I have seen them bind her to the stake. I have see...n them give her ashes to the winds, regs^thering them again that they might scatter them more widely. But when they turned to exult, I have seen her meet them face to face, clad in complete armor of steel and brandishing in her strong right hand a flaming sword, red with unsufferable light ; and therefore, I take courage in the thought that the people have gathered around her once more. The genuis of America will at last lead her sons to freedom.*' This extract* is from his last speech in California, delivered while on his way from Oregon to Washington to battle in the Senate, and to lead the brave sons of New York on the battle- field in defense of freedom which he had so beautifully eulogized.
