MR. WIRT'S ADDRESS.

We have met, fellow citizens, to give public expression to the

undisputed place among the nations of the earth. Yes, it is in France,
the land of our benefactors and friends, that this spectacle has been
exhibited. And such a spectacle! unparalleled in the history of the

the efforts of a single city in three days! Not by a great body of
lords and barons, cased in armour of iron, and with well appointed hosts

Paris; the labouring classes--mechanics--manufacturers--merchants--boys
from the Polytechnic school; rushing naked and unarmed, upon the armed
bands of the king; without a leader to direct their movements, and yet
moving with a judgment, a concert, an energy that would have done honor
to the ablest general; and, at the same time, with a moderation, a
