Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address to the Members of the City Council: On the Removal of the Municipal Government, to the Old State House The intimations which I have received from many individuals Of your body, have left me no room to doubt Of your general expectation, that this first oc casion Of our meeting in this Chamber should not be permitted to pass away, without something more than a brief record Of the event upon your journals. The spot on which we are convened is Patriot Ground. It was consecrated, by our pious ancestors, to the duties Of providing for the welfare Of their infmt settlement; and, for a long series Of years, was occupied, in succession, by the great and good men whom Providence raised up to establish the institu tions and liberties Of their country.
