Speech of Mr. Webster, at the Celebration of the New York New England Society, December 23, 1850 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Webster, at the Celebration of the New York New England Society, December 23, 1850

Ye sons of New England! Ye brethren of the kindred tie! I have come hither to-night, not Without some inconvenience, that I might behold a congregation whose faces bear lineaments of a New England origin, and whose hearts beat with full New Eng land pulsations. [cheers.] Iwillingly make the sacrifice. I am here, to meet this assembly of the great offshoot of the Pilgrim Society of Massachusetts, the Pilgrim Society of New York. And, gentlemen, I shall begin what I have to say, which is but little, by tendering to you my thanks for the invitation extended to me, and by Wishing you, one and all, every kind of happiness and prosperity.
