Excerpt from William Tell; Or, Switzerland Delivered To suffer death in the endeavour to overthrow such oppression, they considered preferable to a base submission to the tyranny of a wretch like Gesler. Tell and his companions waited for an opportunity to revenge themselves on their oppressors. The multiplied crimes of the cruel Gesler, soon afforded them such a trial. The cries of the injured, and the general hatred, forced the oppressed into a compact for their deliverance. The particulars are thus stated in "Switzerland Illustrated," by Dr. Beattie: - "After Gesler's appointment the tolls were raised, the most venial offences punished with imprisonment and forfeiture, and the inhabitants treated with every mark of contempt. Happening one day to ride past a newly-built house belonging to Stauffacher, in the village of Stenin, - "What!" exclaimed Gesler, "shall it be endured that these grovelling peasants should erect such an edifice as this? If boors are to be so lodged - quid facient magistri?" This picture of Austrian government in Switzerland, in the fourteenth century, does not materially differ from Austrian government in Germany and Italy at the present day. If more deference be now paid to external appearance, the same rooted hatred to liberty is still shown by the Austrian despot. Look to the victims of freedom pining in the dungeons of those countries. Tell and his friends took measures for their country's redress. "The rendezvous selected for the meeting of the patriots, was a lonely sequestered strip of meadow, in the angle of the lake, called Grutli, surrounded by thickets, at the foot of the Brunnen. They met again in this place, when each of them, in proof of the desire felt for the redress of their wrongs, presented ten confederates each. With uplifted hands, and eyes fixed upon the starry firmament, under whose friendly canopy their meetings had been matured into action, they bound themselves by an express vow, to redress their country's injuries; to have no interest at heart but the common welfare; to endure no wrongs, to commit no trespass." Gesler in the wantonness of his power, set his hat on a pole in the market-place of Altorff, and compelled all the inhabitants to pay the same homage to it as to his own person. "William Tell the cross-bowman of Burglen, and one of the heroes of Grutli, passed the symbol of tyranny without paying it the proper honours, he was instanly arrested and brought before Gesler.
