The True and the False, an Oration The Stars and Stripes, a Poem (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The True and the False, an Oration: The Stars and Stripes, a Poem The discovery and praise of truth, and the detection and reprobation of falsehood, form no small part of the work of men's minds in all stages of growth and all degrees of ao tion. To know the true and to avoid being ensnared by the false is an instinctive impulse, which' nothing but a life in reverse of all virtue can deaden. Valuing upon this kindly tendency in the present hearers, let us attempt some tracings of the true and the false among things which press closely around us.
