Liberty Bridge
To perpetuate to posterity the memory of glorious
__________ the early history of their ____ has ever
__ the anxious care of the patriotic and virtuous
in every age. The venerable relics of the revolution
are rapidly passing away. The monuments
of our fathers are, with them, returning to their
original dust. Our children will look to us for
some portion of that spirit which actuated a
generation now gathered to their fathers - for some
memento that we duly appreciated the blessings
purchased at innumerable and painful sacrifices.
The Liberty Pole is a favorite symbol to freemen.
At the era of the revolution which emancipated our
country from the thralldom of European domination
such simple, yet expressive, emblems of the spirit of
times, adorned almost every village green. But these
no longer point to those skies whence the genius
descended. It is therefore proposed to erect on
the ensuing fourth of July, on Liberty Bridge, in
Water Street, an elegant Liberty Pole adorned with
a Cap and surmounted with a splendid Eagle.
To defray the expenses incident to its erection, of
purchasing an ensign to adorn it, and of firing a salute
on the occasion we the subscribers engage to pay the
sum as affixed to our names, on demand.
