We should remember that Sullivan was a Kelt, And through the centuries the Kelts have given us the lordliest orators and golden artists, but for tenacity of purpose no one has celebrated them. General Sullivan when he was taken prisoner and fell under the influence of the British military power, and contrasting them with the meagerness that he had been accustomed to, for once his heart failed him and his soul sank within him, and it is no sorrow to his name to say that for the moment he thought the liberty of mankind in the Western continent was doomed. He came from the British to us seeking peace, but after he was exchanged and in his old environment his true native Keltic courage returned and hii after life was the life of an ardent patriot. I do not think we give enough credit to the perceptions of the ignorant. Suppose to ten thousand ignorant people this entirely hN-pothetical question should be stated: Around the globe is a people who for three hundred years had been fighting a tyranical power and well nigh achieved success. Would it be right for a republic to step in and take them away from the power they were in rebellion against, and then this republic by force of arms prevent them from becoming an independent republic? State to ten thousand ignorant people this question, and they will shout with one voice " that it is not right." State this question to ten thousand college professors, and they will back and fill, debate and re-debate, and finally be fogged by their very knowledge and at last come to no conclusion at all. It has never been sufiiciently made clear that the classes fought the Revolutionary war. The educated, the elegant, the conservative, the well-to-do, in short the " better elements," were practically all with the British.
