27. to John Pierpont. Servant of Christ, erect, unwearied, strong, Fresh from the toils of nearly fourscore years-- A work-day in his vineyard brave and long-- The evening hour thou giv'st to man, to God, The last the brightest of thy life appears. On! to the Holy City, which the foe Of man and God assails, to overthrow The fairest temple mortal hands have raised, And tramp with Slavery's hoofs where Freedom trod, Thou girdest on thy armor. God be praised. Lift high his Cross. By that his hosts be led. Soldier of God! his banner wave; thy head Bearing its mortal crest of silver white, Thy lofty soul wreathed with immortal light. Libertas.

nd there may they remain forever. [Enthusiastic cheers.] I cannot however quite consent to say that our friend could not be heard in Faneuil Hall. That glorious old name does not belong to bricks and mortar. As the Scottish chief boasted that where McGregor sits is the head of the table, so where Freedom dwells, where all lips are free, wherever the foe of slavery is welcome, no matter whether an English or an African sun may have looked upon him, there is Faneuil Hall. [Cheers.] Ubi Libertas, ibi patria was Franklin's motto, which Bancroft's lines render well enough,--Where dwell the brave, the generous, and the free, Oh, there is Rome — no other Rome for me. [Cheers.] Our welcome to George Thompson to-night is only the joy we have in grasping his hand, and seeing him with our own eyes. But we do not feel that, for the last fifteen years, he has been absent from us, much less from the battle to whose New England phalanx we welcome him to-night. Every blow struck for the r
