This Rock has become an object of veneration in the United States. I have seen bits of it carefully preserved in several towns in the Union.

Here is a stone which the feet of a few outcasts pressed for an instant; and the stone becomes famous; it is treasured by a great nation; its very dust is shared as a relic.
