Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Oration Delivered by Request of the City Authorities Before the Citizens of Boston, on the Sixty Third Anniversary of American Independence, July 4, 1839 It evoked the Federal Constitution out of Confederate Chaos as if the spirit of Peace had moved over the turhu lence of passion and by the fiat of Omnipotence had again brought light out of darkness. It carried the country through its second war for freedom. It conquered with Hull and Decatur on the ocean, with Brown, with Scott, with Jackson on the land. In those recent commotions which swept over the nation with the fury of a whirlwind, it endowed our countrymen with the energy of self reliance, contended with success against despair, and like the giant of the fable acquired new strength from every prostration.
