Inscription
"William H. Seward, 1801 - 1872
""How through these years in silence thou hast borne the cruel doubt, the slanders of debate, the assassin's knife, and keener blade of scorn, wielded by party in its narrow hate: How could'st thou pause each step to vindicate of thy surpassing work? Lo! It is done. Freedom enshrined in our regenerate state. And they who were divided made one!""
The Constitution regulates our stewardship. The Constitution devotes the domain to union, to justice, to defence, to welfare and to liberty.
But there ia a righter law than the Constitution, which regulates our authority over the domain, and devotes it to the same noble purposes.
Presented November 15, 1888, to the City of Auburn, by the townsmen and friends of William H. Seward, in commembration of his beneficant life, and of his distinguished services to the state, to the nation, and to mankind."
