Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration, Delivered on the Public Square at New Haven: At the Request of Its Citizens, July 4, 1851 Prayer having been offered by the Rev. Mr. Norris, and the Declaration of Independence read by the Hon. Charles H.Pond, recently Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut, His Honor, Aaron N.Skinner, Mayor of the City of New Haven, introduced the Orator of the day to the large audience, which, notwithstanding the falling rain, had gathered upon the Northern portico and steps of the State House, and upon the gentle hill-side below, as follows: - Fellow Citizens: I have the honor to introduce to you the Hon. Hiram Ketchum of New York, who has consented, at your invitation, through your Committee, to come here on this occasion, at much private inconvenience, from a sense of duty and love of country, to address you on interesting subjects connected with this hallowed day. I need not ask of you for him, your most respectful attention. Mr. Ketchum then came forward, and after the applause with which he was enthusiastically greeted had subsided, remarked: Fellow Citizens: It is seventy-five years to day, three quarters of a century, since the United States of America declared themselves independent, and claimed admission into the Family of Nations. I shall take occasion, in my remarks to-day, to notice some of the consequences which have resulted from this great transaction; but at present, I shall revert to one only. The declaration of national independence has had a tendency to beget and foster a strong and decided feeling of personal independence. The right of private judgment is here recognized; every man feels that he has an interest in the government, and that he is entitled to a voice in the administration, preservation, and, if needs be, the alteration of that government.
