Excerpt from Address, Delivered at the Dedication of Memorial Hall, Lancaster, and Ode: June 17, 1868
It has been said of some of our States, that they were good places in which to be born, but not to live. But even the stranger, as he looks upon these lovely scenes, must admit that this is a goodly land in which to dwell and that he must be hard to please, if not guilty of great ingratitude, who cannot here find a happy abode. For my own part, I must say - pardon me, if it be egotistically - that, though my lot has been mostly cast in some of the pleasantest places by the sea, and for a long period amid many of the most beautiful and interesting regions across the ocean and in the old world, I can truly and from the heart say, Where'er I roam, whatever realms to see, My heart untravelled fondly turns to thee.
