100 ADDRESS. 



Spain, that this continent was discovered at the time it was, and 

 by whom it was : when monarchs hesitated, and ministers looked 

 on with cold and calculating indifference, she cast her jewels upon 

 the waters, and fortune paid her with a new world, from which 

 has sprung a race of men, who have given new hopes to liberty, 

 when it was nearly lost ; and who are now struggling to throw 

 back on Europe, with interest and gratitude, the rays of light we 

 have received from her. In the strong cord of public opinion, 

 which binds us a people, when chains of adamant could not, the 

 silken and the golden threads are what woman thinks of public 

 measures !
