In a case like that, the dumb might eloquently speak, and the "lame man leap as an hart." But, such is not the state of the case.

I say it with a sad sense of the disparity between us.

I am not included within the pale of this glorious anniversary! Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us.

The blessings in which you this day rejoice, are not enjoyed in common.

The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity, and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me.
