Excerpt from An Address, Delivered at the Consecration of the Harmony Grove Cemetery, in Salem, June 14, 1840 IT was with unfeigned reluctance, my friends, as some of you well know, that I accepted the honor of taking the part assigned to me on this occasion, not from any want of interest in the noble object which has called us together, but because I felt too deeply interested in its success to be satisfied with any thing which I could in this way do to promote it. Yet, if others better qualified for the task would not be persuaded to undertake it, I could not persist in refusing the little service which it might be in my power to render, and which was claimed of me by those, who, from their own exertions in this cause, had a right to command it. You will expect from me nothing more than a few plain and sober thoughts, the design of which will be to illustrate the im portance of the object before us, and to commend it, if possible, still more to your affections and your patronage.
