Excerpt from Memoir of Alvan Stone, of Goshen, Mass We have seen them struggling seven years, for life, for liberty, and all that is dear to them and yet we see them unconquered. Shall we despair of their becoming a victorious, free and happy people No. They will yet be free. They will yet hold a conspicuous place in the rank of nations. If the European nations can not lend their assistance to break the yoke of their oppressors, let them be neutral; let them be at least idle spectators and the Greeks will achieve their liberty themselves: for a nation that wills it, will be free.'
