Excerpt from Signals From the Atlantic Cable: An Address Fellow-citizens of Burlington, it is becoming to the dignity of this ancient city, and to its educational and industrial spirit, to unite with other cities in this and in distant lands, in celebrating the successful laying of the atlantic telegraph. This is one of those leading and happy events in human history, which, when it occurs first, anticipates the emotions and honours of future tri umphs of the same kind. Now is the time and the hour! Our celebration, on the appointed day, brings us into heartfelt connec tion with the general joy and praise; and the telegraphic poles of Burlington exchange signals with the wires on Albion's cliffs, and return the festival flashes, which pulse with the power of life, from our commercial metropolis to the outstretched boundaries of this great Republic.
