I lutd always a cool head, and could stand
ou elevations that niada most men dizzy,
and bo I wut boom a favorite band with my
inuater. ' '
V had on one occasion to fitstep a
lightning conductor, whicli bad sprung

Mr. Summing chose myself and one James
Cully lo do it, as the most daring of bis
men. About ball a dozen of us went thai

dropped its line across the top of Ibe clitm

of which wax a block, through which ran
lh line, wiiateby we were tu be drawn up.

: Wore clearly, ico, tliart ever before does
the notion now recognize that the greatest
glory of a republic is that It throws the
shield ot its protection over the humblest
and weakest of its people, and vindicates
the rights of the poor and 'he poweiless as
faithfully as those of the mighty aud the
powerful.
I rejoice, ton, In Ibis connection, to find
in your platform -'the' frsnk and fearless
avowal that naturalized oititsns must bo

they were t stive born, - Our whole people

establish tho right, and welcome lo our

other mime for perpetual bondage, und
would make alt slaves to the soil where
