to their natural resting-place the wealth of the West Indies and South America, and whose happy enterprise sends across the mountains its iron pathway of many arms to reach the valley of the Mississippi, had for a century been tenanted only by straggling cottages. But its convenient proximity to the border counties of Pennsylvania and Virginia had at length been observed by Scotch Irish Presbyterians, and other bold and industrious men; and within a few years they had created the town of Baltimore, which already was the chief emporium within the Chesapeake Bay, and promised to become one of the most opulent and populous cities of the world. When the messages from the old committee of New York, from Philadelphia, and from Chap. III.} 1774. May. Boston, reached its inhabitants, they could not see the least grounds for expecting relief from a petition and remonstrance. They called to mind the contempt with which for ten years their petitions had been thrust aside, and were convinc

ting of tradesmen, a plausible speaker ventured to recommend for consideration the manner of paying for the tea; and he met with so much success, that after some altercation, they separated without coming to any resolution. But Warren, who exerted as much energy to save his country as others to paralyze its spirit, proved to his friends, that the payment in any form would open the way for every compliance even to a total submission; and he was himself encouraged by the glowing letter from Baltimore. Vigilance, activity, and patience, he cried, are necessary at this time; but the mistress we serve is Liberty, and it is better to die than not to obtain her. We shall be saved, he added; and that no cloud might rest on the fortitude, honesty, and foresight of Boston, a town meeting was called for the following Friday. Samuel Adams received a summons to come and guide its debates; but a higher duty kept him at Salem. The legislative committee of nine appeared so tame, that Leonard r

people against the representative of the crown, called upon the several counties to choose deputies to a colony convention to be held on the twentieth of March. Maryland was encouraged by Thomas Johnson, a patriot venerated and loved for his private virtues; in public life looking always to the general good; neither hasty nor backward; quick to perceive what was possible, and effectively assisting to do it; joining modesty and practical wisdom to zeal and courage. The Presbyterians of Baltimore resolutely supported the good old cause. Near Annapolis, the volunteers whom Charles Lee began to muster, melted away before his overbearing manner and incapacity; but the people would hear of no opposition to the recommendations of congress. They invited a voluntary offering to the amount of ten thousand pounds, for the purchase of arms and ammunition; and taking the sword out of the hands of the governor, they elected their own officers to defend Massachusetts and themselves.

Its loud reveille broke the rest of the trappers of New Hampshire, and ringing like bugle-notes from peak to peak, overleapt the Green Mountains, swept onward to Montreal, and descended the ocean river, till the responses were echoed from the cliffs of Quebec. The hills along the Hudson told to one another the tale. As the summons hurried to the south, it was one day at New York; in one more at Philadelphia; the next it lighted a watchfire at Baltimore; thence it waked an answer at Annapolis. Crossing the Potomac near Mount Vernon, it was sent forward Chap. XXIX.} 1775. April. without a halt to Williamsburg. It traversed the Dismal Swamp to Nansemond along the route of the first emigrants to North Carolina. It moved onwards and still onwards through boundless groves of evergreen to Newbern and to Wilmington. For God's sake, forward it by night and by day, wrote Cornelius Harnett by the express which sped for Brunswick. Patriots o
