They us sit that we are weak unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are
totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by inesolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual
resistance by yeg supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Si, we are not weak if we make a
proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of aberty and in such a country as that which we
possess are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sit, we shall not fight our bates alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of
nations, and who will raise up tiends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sit, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant the active, the brave. Besides, sit, we have no election #
we were base enough to desire & is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged Their clanking may be heard
