Excerpt from An Oration Delivered at Newburyport, on the Forty-Sixth Anniversary of American Independence, July 4, 1822The progress of the human mind towards improve ment is irresistable, but slow. Here and there arises a man. Or a class of men, superior to the opinions of their age. But much time must elapse, before truths, clear and familiar to them, become undoubted and notorious principles.
