Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration, Pronounced in the Methodist Episcopal Church, Hempstead, July 4, 1831: Being the 55th Anniversary of American Independence Friends and Fellow Republicans, The auspicious day which we have met to celebrate, is that which gave birth to a nation - and most justly and emphatically has one of the fathers of out country declared to us, that it should be commemorated, not only by prayer, but by every joyous demonstration. In despotic countries it is often the unholy task to celebrate the birth day of a tyrant, or the period of national subjugation. Ours is a nobler purpose: we have met, to render our tribute to the emancipation of the mind, and to offer our oblation on the altar of freedom. Among the numerous benefits which our Independence has conferred upon the world, by far the most important one, is the salutary lesson which the success of our institutions has taught to mankind. For, while on the one hand, it has assured those nations who are solicitous for freedom, that man is capable of self-government, and of directing his own energies; it has on the other, silenced the cavillings of prejudice, and shown to Monarchs that they hold their prerogative by a very attenuated sway. At the eventful period which we this day commemorate, there did not exist upon the earth, any government whatever, which derived its laws solely from the popular voice.
