Excerpt from Address Delivered at the Celebration of the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the Founding of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States The city of Philadelphia was the capital of our Revolutionary era. Here was proclaimed the birth and independence of the United States. Here, too, was framed that Constitution which is the crowning glory of the Revolution.
