Excerpt from Protestant Republicanism the Conservative Element of American Freedom: A Pulpit Oration, Delivered Before the Monticello Troop, July 4, 1841
Such was the character of the men from whom our English forefathers sprung. The occasion of the introduction of the Germanic race into the island of Great Britain is known to all the readers of English history. Invited to the aid of the Britons against the Scots and Picts, the Saxons, one of the most warlike and powerful tribes of Germany, landed upon the island, and, having expelled the invaders, turned their arms against their degenerate allies, and, from the deliverers of the country, became its masters. Thus Saxon institutions were introduced into Great Britain, and the foundation was laid of that freedom and glory which have made her the admiration of the world.
