FOR THE TARBORO PRESS.
ADDRESS, r
Delivered by Josidh H. Brooks, Esq. at
the Celebration in Tarboro j N. C. on
the 4M of July, 1846
(continued from last No.)
This nation fears nothing from foreign
powers. If she has a superior in arms,
that superior is yet to be found. England
once esteemed such an idea as vain and de
lusive, and "at the commencement of that
contest, which resulted in our freedom
from her oppressive 'measures, she appre
henated but a slight injury. In her vast
conceptions of her own exaltation, dignity j
and power, certain of victory, she had al-l
ready arranged the plan, that the leading
revolutionists should suffer the horrid
death of traitors, and as an inevitable se
quence that the colonies would tamely
return to an allegiance to the mother coun
try. Washington once remarked, amid his
darkest prospects, and when that star,
which had guided htm through so many
anxious toils, and nights of sleepless solici
tude, seemed to be hiding itself behind a
gloomy cloud, that after all, he could not
think that his neck was ever made for the
halter. He was surrounded by other kin
dred spirits, whose fortitude, patience,
courage, and determination to conquer or
die, began to convince that America,
though a country comparatively wild,
and romantic, contained undrilled militia,
that were too strong for regularly trained
British soldiers. England., like a cham
pion, who had always been victorious, and
had left his enemy at his feet, .wounded,
bleeding, and suing for mercy, could not
realize, that she was defeated by a few
scattered colonists. The hard fought bat
tle of York town closed the scene, and put
the question beyond a doubt. Writhing
under the pangs of wounded ambition, aitd
mortified pride, she sought leisure to re
pent over" her own folly. But this ambi
tious,this restless champion, must have a
second trial; and in that trial she became
perfectly satisfied, that Americans not on
ly knew how but were still determined to
defend their rights. And the complacen
cy, and courtesy with which she now
seems to come into measures, evidently

to-be remembered, and glorious eighth ofi , t 7. , ,lU
January. To the present test of our skill
in arms, on the banks of the Rio Grande, I
scarcel v know how to refer. The Ameri
cans show such instances of daring bravery,
such fortiCude and magnanimity of soul,
such a lofty contempt of "death, as truly 0
exemplify the sentiment, that:

the awful thunders, of his power, and'i ble than that of the Autocrat of all the Rus-
' where played the vivid lightnings of his
majesty. Guided alone by the gjimerings
of depraved reason, America could never
have stood, as she now stands, elevated to
a' position be3rond which ho nation dare as
pire, and the basis of -j whose reputation J
shall remain unhurt, amid the fluctuations
of time. -But directed by . a higher, a pu
rer, a holier principle, she will never con
sent to take down, in despair, that waving
flag, which she has unfurled in commemo
ration of a most glorious triumph; Fellow
citizens, would you leave, unimpaired, to
your posterity, the blessings bought for
you, with the blood of those, whose ashes
now repose beneath the plains of Concord.
Lexington, and Yorktovvn? - Gentlemen,
would you have your sons to be the bold
defenders of free institutions, to live super
rior to the turbid stream of- popular ap
plause, and to love freedom, for freedom's
sake? Ladies, would "you have your
daughters not only prepared to move in the
circle of refinement and fashion, but to be,
as by a late lamented patriot . they have
been pronounced to be, the queens of the
forest and the pride of America, then teach
them, that the plain and simple precepts of
divine Revelation are worthy of all accep
tation, and form the basis of true' greatness.
It seems indeed that war must becasion-
I ally come, and in its appalling desolations,
blight the fairest prospects, and fondest exp
pectations. Many r promising youth have
sunk beneath its oblivious grasp, and there
remain unknown; like the purest gems,
that lie - concealed in the ocean's darkest
caverns; and the fairest flowers ihat, in the
wild desert blush, and' bloom unseen, and
scatter to the blast their withered leaves.
Who loes not deprecate the horrors, and
miseries of war? Who would not hail

pect that nations should no longer groan
and bleed, under its influence. Read the,
history of but one battle, and what is the
picture? The killed are thrown , promis
cuously intoa pit, and hastily covered;
there indeed to rest from', the fatigues of
war, but to lie unknown and forgotten.
In that number, were t buried the blasted
hopes of many a parent. - Perhaps : there
was a young ; man, who had left the patern
al roof, with the blessings of a doting fath

while hope lights up his future path, and
plays in the sun-beams of his fancy, there
are multitudes of temptations, under the
withering grasp of whose deleterious influ
ence, many a youth, ignorant of his dan
ger, has been pulled down from his eleva
ted pursuit, and sunk into thedepths of in
famy, a wreck - upon the waste of ; time. ,
How unconscious were our first parents,
when placed in the garden of Eden, that
the enemy of their happiness: was so near!
Imparadised in each others charms,, they
did not dream, that around that delightful .
place. where angels kept their daily and
nightly vigils, there .crawled a serpent infecting,-

pure and salubrious air; , and that beneath
those beautiful flowers, beneath those beds
of roses, there Jay concealed a demon-rea-

dy to destroy jtheir, bliss. Let American
youth remember, that whatever may be
the brightness of their prospects, whatev
er may be the heights of their ambition, it
is from Vthe - experience of the past, from
the textbook of human affairs, that they
must arm themselves to ? escape the temp
tation, which may impede their progress in
enterprizing and . laudable .pursuits: Let
them remember, that they are under an .
allegiance to respect, honor, and love the
country, for which the immortaLband of
heroes of the Revolution so faithfully, and
so indefatigably fought, and oft which they
have erected that proud banner, ; now be
decked with so many 'bright, and shining -stars,,
reflectors of the rays from the bril
liant sun off liberty. And may heaven
grant, that tyranny may never eclipse that ;
sun, nor d im those stars; but that other ad
ditional ones , shall continue to rise, and
unite themselves, until, on the broad Pa
cific, beyond the Rocky Mountains, and
above their sunless gorges, there shall . be
seen to rise a still brighter star seeking to
mingle its congenial rays with this-already
blazing cluster. u Vou?;-: ",
One thing, above all others,, bespeaks
the happy- tendency, of our gqvernipent,
and its superiority over that of others, and
that, is the elevation, to which it assigns
