THE COMPLETION OF THE BUNKER HILL MONUMENT.
Page 659 - Let us thank God that we live in an age when something has influence besides the bayonet, and when the sternest authority does not venture to encounter the scorching power of public reproach. Any attempt of the kind I have mentioned should be met by one universal burst of indignation...
