THE ADVANTAGES OF AN ASY


LUMFOR THE OPPRESSED OF


ALL NATIONS-FOREIGN PAU


PERs AND VAGABONDS OF


ALL DESCRIPTIONS.


When the Wings ofthe American Rev
oluton had by their valor achieved the IN
dependence of this nation, they rejoiced IN
their triumph, not only because 1t secured
to themselves and their descendants the bles
sings o. free government, but because they
had also secured an lum to which the
worshipers of liberty in all nations might
flee from oppression. By establishing an
asylum for the oppressed, those noble-hcart>
ed men did not mean that they had estab>
! lis sBed.;a sink islto which ali the wee and
poliuiions ofthe foreign world were to be
poured. Naen they talked OF temple OF
liberty and an asylum for the oppressed,
thew bv no means mean: that they had eS'
tab ished Ia this couary a vast poor-house
which foreign nations were to fill with their
| NEGLECTED.. ragged end dessolate paupers.
/ Our !iberalitY has been ampljhsd far beyond
/ the meaning aud hopes of those good and
/ GREAT aen. Thev intended that the fery|
/ hearted champions of human rights should
! come to this country and enjoy the liberty
/ for which their son s vainjy painted IN theiI
native homes. but we have made broader
The gates they built up, and now extend "a
greeting TO the scum and ofscourl9gs o
the world.
