“
. . . Though I am myself a native of
New York, yet my parents were from
New England, and therefore, even in
infancy, I drank deeply at that pure
fountain of veneration and love for her
moral and religious institutions of
which her native sons have quaffed so
copiously. I admire the character of her
citizens—sober, energetic and persever-
ing, they have accumulated wealth and
enjoy independence, while the inhabi-
tants of more favored and fertile regions,
have sunk in indolence and want.
Wherever patient industry, inventive
skill or daring enterprise arrest the
attention of the traveler, there you will
find ‘the natives or the sons of natives
of New England.’ Wherever you see
side by side the village church and com-
mon school there breathes the tempered
spirit of the Puritans. . . .”
