Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oration, Delivered at the Independent Academy, Manchester, Maryland, July 4, 1857 Cadets: The day whose sun has latest lighted us from sleep to wakefulness, suggests, in its vivid memories, the theme of Patriotism. The place wherein we stand - these academic shades - yonder institution dedicated to learning, datum ad literas deumque no less remind me of the claims of Culture. Thus these two elements of the higher life of humanity, are met. Side by side they take their places in our sight today, and, by their regal nature, by the large dominancy they hold over the souls of men, they command from us, not alone a passing recognition, as to honored guests, but the full gift of whatever tribute we have brought hither. Turning away, then, from those other but inferior themes, which, in virtue of the occasion we commemorate, might claim regard, I accept the omen of the hour, and pay my homage to these imperial presences. I will ask your attention, therefore, for the time which it falls to me to detain you, to a consideration of the relations of Culture and Patriotism. For I cannot find merely an accidental union in their present meeting, but must look upon them as joined in a beneficent and providential harmony. Proud and secure as is each in its own individual empire, sovereign as they are, each of them, in their independent dignities and several rights, it would still seem as though the noblest flower of both were foreordained, in the pre-established concord of things, to appear only in their express and permanent alliance.
