Dr. Joseph Sargent, the eminent surgeon, of Worcester, wrote:--

“You have not said one word that we would have unsaid; and

when you shall have opportunity again to speak those words

of truth which are words of fire, we only wish to be at

hand to take the blows ourselves, while you shall have the

glory of having aroused a nation as it has not been aroused

before, since the days which preceded the Revolution. Shame

on the country which needed such a wrong to move it to the

right!”
