Then there was Misther King—he made a little talk, good enough
for the childers, but no account for a Fourth of July spaach, and thin Mr.
Ealy, he got up, and he talked about rivers and harbors and railroads and
tilegraphs and stameboats, canawls, and sich like; for any other day I
would have called it a very fine spaach, but for a Fourth of July spaach it
was no spaach at all, at all. But I'll tell you who did make a good spaach;
it was Mr. Pate "White; he got up and talked like a book; he talked about
liberty, and equality, and the rights of man, and he was down on King
George and the parliament, and he made the best spaach of thim all."
