I offer to you the m t ltir­
. ring worda about the Fourth of
July by the Hon - Frederick
Douglas on July 5, 1852:
-'ellow-citlzena, pardon
me, allow me 10 k, why am I
called upon to peak here-1O­
day? What have I, or tboIc I
represent, 10 do with yoW' na­
tional independence? Are the
great principles of political
freedom and of natural justice,
embodied'in that Declaration
of Independence, extended to
us? and am I, therefore, called
upon to bring our humble of­
fer
ng to the national altar, and
to confess the benefits and ex­
preas devou gratitude for the
blessings resulting from your

affirmative answer could be
trutbtUlly returned these
questional Then would my
task be light, and my burden
easy and delightful. For woo ,
is there so cold, that a nation'.
Iympathy could not warm

dead to the claims of gratitude,
that would not thankfullyac­
knowledge such pricelell
benefits?
Who so stolid and selflah
that ,w_ould not give hia voice
to wen. the hallelujahs of a
nation's jubilee, whC!n the
chains of seJVitude had been
tom from his Um ? I am not
that man. In a case like that,
the dumb might eloquently
speak, and the "lame Dian leap
an bart." (See DU:I weeb _ao).
