“There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston!”

Answer:

"Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies?... They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other.".

Explanation:

In the sentence shown above, we can see that the author of the speech does not agree with the accumulation of British weapons. He thinks that this accumulation is an exaggeration, a threat and disrespect as if on that side of the world there were enemies who wanted to destroy England and its people. In addition, he claims that the weapons already had an owner, could not be used by anyone who wanted.
