Excerpt from Address on Religious Intolerance and Political Proscription: Delivered at Lancaster, Pa., On the Evening of the 24th of September

Still the dread destroyer has been busy in your midst. More than one gallant spirit has lowered his lofty head in the grave. More than one aspiring intellect has fallen by the wayside; and in the brave column of life, constantly essaying to overcome the obstacles Which impede our pathway to the tomb, there are many vacant places. I miss the matchless genius andthe unchallenged eloquence of the child of sorrow, Barton, now shrouded in the embrace of that ocean which he loved so well. The fgifted Montgomery is in his grave. After life's fitful fever, he sleeps well. And many more have followed them! Some have gone to far-off lands in search of fortune; some have passed into the pressure and perils of the surging and tempestuous world; and one, the high in heart, the patriotic and the just, remains at the proudest court in Europe, a monument of the intellect and statesmanship of our beloved country. It may well be conceived, therefore, with what singular interest I return to the beautiful spot from which ten years since I took my departure to other scenes.
