The excerpt is taken from patrick henery believed british rule in the american colonies was tyrannical ? no man thinks more highly than i do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed tulemust. du
different men often see the same subject in different lights, and, therefore, i hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if,
entertaining as i do, opinions of a character very opposite to theirs. i shall speak forth my sentiments freely, and without reserve. this is no time
for ceremony. the question before the house is one of awful moment to this country. for my own part. i consider it as nothing less than a
question of freedom or slavery, and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. it is only in this way
that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfil the great responsibility which we hold to god and our country. should i keep back my opinions at
such a time, through fear of giving offence, i should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward
the majesty of heaven, which irevere above all earthly kings.
mr. president, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. we are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of
that siren till she transforms us into beasts. is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? are we disposed to
be of the number of those who having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation?
for my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost. i am willing to know the whole truth: to know the worst, and to provide for it. ?

He leaned his head against the wall; his eyes were shut, his hands clasped in each other, and his body seemed to be sustained in an upright position merely by the cellar-door against which he rested his left shoulder. the lethargy into which he was sunk seemed scarcely interrupted by my feeling his hand and his forehead. his throbbing temples and burning skin indicated a fever . . there was only one circumstance that hindered me from forming an immediate determination in what manner this person should be treated. my family consisted of my wife and a young child. our servant-maid had been seized, three days before, by the reigning malady, and, at her own request, had been conveyed to the hospital. we ourselves enjoyed good health, and were hopeful of escaping with our lives. our measures for this end had been cautiously taken and carefully adhered to. they did not consist in avoiding the receptacles of infection, for my office required me to go daily into the midst of them; nor in filling the house with the exhalations of gunpowder, vinegar, or tar. they consisted in cleanliness, reasonable exercise, and wholesome diet. who is the story’s first-person narrator
