Excerpt from An Address: In Commemoration of the Completion of the First Free Bridge! Across Connecticut River, July 1st, 1859
On the first day of July, 1859, a large and highly respectable audience, composed of citizens of Norwich and Hanover, with the Students of Dartmouth College and Norwich University, gathered in the College Church at 3, P. M., to celebrate the completion of the first Free Bridge over the Connecticut River. The exercises were opened by a voluntary from the choir, and an appropriate prayer by the Rev. Dr. Bournes. After which, Prof. Dixi Crosby, President of the meeting, arose and addressed the assembly as follows:
Fellow Citizens: - I prefer this form of salutation from its associations - for with it is connected the idea of every place and every occasion, where freemen meet for an open expression of opinion - for a mutual interchange of thought and for counsel, how the greatest strength may result from the most perfect union. The School District - the Town - the County - the State - and the Federal Whole are all indicated and with it the idea of that perfect union we are to-day met to consecrate and in honor of which our nation's flag is so proudly waving from yonder staff.
There occur in the history of every town, every State, and every nation - certain epochs pregnant with good or fraught with danger - which demand public recognition from the people, and it is one of the former we are to-day met to celebrate.
I hold it to be improper upon this occasion to enter upon any comparison of the relative merit due to those individuals who have labored to accomplish so desirable a result.
