we Are one

', A sublime event wag that which camo to pass ' on the memorable 29t!i of May ! Well nigh' a." thousand souls, ingathorod from every comer of itho land, impelled by the one purpose and for the one commonweal—a people bravo, manly ' and bold—launching forth for their far-off homes, ' was a spectacle to be written iv history and ' never to bo forgotten. It was by the oneness or unity of our plan, by "oneness of aim and ac tion, that all this was made possible; and it •will bo that samo oneness that we shall earn for , our movement a name and place upon the re i' cords of the ago. We aro one, and must needs ■r-foe; for we have bound ourselves by live charter i upon which we set forth—the charter of indivi - ',' dual freedom, but united and consolidated action J>' to work out the grand result expected of us by 1 f our couutrymon at home and by the friends who await us in the land which is yet very far off. God give us the ONE HEART and *the ONE I' WILL, that our eyes may behold, in due time, \ ■ the hopedJbr consummation. - v, Iv • ■*..

We are One! ; Be that our Watchword ever more; Inscribe it on our banner. Let it pass, through our ranks, that ..all,- but the baso-hearted and thecraven may shape their future in common accord with a sentiment so grand and ennobling. May many an illustrious example beTeealled to bind us yet clos-ar and render our union more in dissoluble. And be this lesson at once our guide and warning, that a house divided against' itee.lt must fall, for so it ever has been in the history of all peoples,a.ll commonwealths since the world was. And moreover be this word graven yet more deeply still, that there is no higher human virtue than that which binds hearts together as the heart of O,ie, and no spectacle grander than; that of a nation or community sacrificing for the . " Good' Estate," [ as our, fathers called it] all their self-seekingsand bittcrne3ses,and standing" outbefore the world, welded together,through', toil, through suffering, through adversity, .as.well. as prosperity, an example of. patiene-e-,-fortitude and groatJieartednes.s. for aj^e. . -■ ■ , .
