ABSTRACT

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it. The event of yesterday 2 was one of those kind of alarms which is just sufficient to rouse us to duty, without being of consequence enough to depress our fortitude. It is not a field of 230a few acres of ground, but a cause, that we are defending, and whether we defeat the enemy in one battle, or by degrees, the consequences will be the same.
