We can see how the e arose, first supremacy of the fam ily, then that of the tribe and finally tliat of many tribes, culminating the establishment of the Nation. Then came the announcement of the doc trine that the king can do no wrong. That was true in the beginnning be cause when kings began to rule they ruled in the fear and favor of Al mighty God and the purpose of their aggrandizement, or pomp or pride, or uowe r but a series of humanitiy. Euc it was not long until the natural ambi tion of the average man and the grt-ut ambition of the average king separai ed the human into two great classes, those who were born to rule and those who are born to serve. And so free dom and the desire for freedom has been no new thing in the history of the world. "Some of you are English. I know you are because it was seomewhere close to Charlotte that flora Mcuon aid came with her people and so strong and binding was the force of the vows that she had vowed to God and to the Bonnie Prince Charlie that oho was found with the loyalists during the War of the Revolution. I do not believe that it was because her heart was inimical to the cause of liberty, but because the Scotch Irish who swears that a horse is 16 feet tall on one occasion will swear it is on every occasion. "In 1215 the Karons wrested irom Kinir John the Magna Charta, ani it' is about the only proud thing I know of in history of those who bear the name of Marshall, that it was a man by that name pho prevented that document from being stolen by the French king. From that time a new spirit developed in the English people And we are not Anglo-Saxons, after all, for there is far more Celt in us than Angle. We are simply English speaking people. England began to think this was a good thing and be fore long the ulea began to sprea 1 aroud the world, impressing ideas rl English civilization on alien peopb? oi alien speech. Didn t Know I hen. "William of Orange in his fight against the Spaniard never dreamed that he was setting up a new govern ment. And, I doubt if the men who on Mav, 20, 1775, met in Charlotte here had any idea of setting up on this soil of ours a republic. I doubt whether at the time it was impressed on them that tie people themselves should have the right to choose their officials; that the people should have the right to the exercise of power and influence in the making of laws and securing good government. .ven after the campaign had started at Lexington and had been fought to a successful conclusion, I doubt, whether they believed that a government by the people could endure. "We are facing troublous times, 1 fear. I hope and pray for peace. I stood the other day in a plain old- fashioned home in Pittsburg and saw above the mantel the draped photo graph of as fine a young man I be lieve, as there is in this country. His life had gone out for the honor cf the flag." And Huerta hasn t saluted yet. called a man in the crowd. "I pray for peace," continued Mr. Marshall, ignoring the interruption. But that flag on yonder wall is not a piece of North Carolina bunting. He who looks with the eye of vision can see Valley Forge and the snowfall in carnadined by the footfalls of the sol diery of Washington, he can see Francis Marion, Robetr E. Lee, Stone wall Jackson, Winfield Scott Hancock. It is not a mere piece of bunting. It is the Mecklenburg Declaration, tha Philadelphia Declaration, it is th consummation of hopes of humanity for freedom, for j'ustice, for God! And so, if that nag be insulted, reparations must be made for the insult. (Ap plause.) i pray uod for peace, yet if it must be war, I know that side by side with the men from our Hoosier stato will march with the men from North Carolina in defense of the Union and the flag.
