5 all the hardships and privations of war for themselves, But no fellow Citezens, they had a higher object in view. It was for you, it was for me the endured all these hardships and privation and declared themselves Independent of the Brittish yoke, that they might hand down this Republican form of Government, this liberty of conscience, and the freedom of speech and of the press, unimpaired from generation to generation to the end of time. Thus the struggle went on for about eight years when great Brittian was at length compeled to make a treaty of peace and acknowledge our Independence, the day we now celebrate Thus when the victory was won, the Eagle the emblem of liberty began to hover over the length and breath of the land, when that flag, the glorious stars and stripes unfurled themselves to every breese Ellsworth and the exhausted treasury began again replenish itself. things began to brighten up and the voice of the turtle was again heard in the land And now fellow citezens, let us take a glance at the consequent fruits that grew out of the declaration of our Independence, and the achievement of our liberties, Our population has increased from 3 millions to about 32 millions, our 13 original states along the Atlantic coast have extended now to 34 even from the atlantic to the Pacific
