Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Corporation and Citizens of Washington: On the Occasion of the Death of John Quincy Adams, Who Died in the Capitol, on Wednesday Evening, February 23, 1848 The people of Washington, however, have peculiar cause to deplore this melancholy event. Amongst them the illustrious deceased passed the greater part of his long public life, while filling the various eminent stations to which he was called by his country, at the Seat of Government. He was our neighbor and friend, and the friend of our City. Amidst the cares of State, taking an interest in our affairs, mingling in our society, and promoting our prosperity. Here a portion of his dead are buried, and here the surviving object of his dearest affections remains. Knowing how sincerely you participate in those sentiments, and confident that you would desire an opportunity to give expression to them, I have summoned you this evening, gentlemen, for that purpose, and to enable you to take measures for uniting in the public rites to be paid to his honored remains to-morrow. Which having been read, was referred to a joint committee of the two Boards, which committee reported to the Board of Aldermen the following preamble and resolutions: Joint Resolutions of Respect to the Memory of the Hon. John Quincy Adams. The Statesman, the Philosopher, the Christian Patriot, and Sage has departed! John Quincy Adams is no more! With the nation we deeply mourn his loss. Connected with all the most stirring and important events of our country, he has ever been distinguished for wisdom in council, love of liberty, and devotion to the rights of man. A lover of science, his attainments in all its branches have elicited the admiration of the world. A true Patriot, no sacrifice was too great for his country; he died as he lived, in the faithful discharge of his duty, from which he never shrank, even when enduring great physical suffering.
