Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Political Condition of the South: Speech of Hon. George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, in the House of Representives, August 9, 1876 The House having under consideration the political condition of the South - Mr. Hoar said: Mr. Speaker: I was desirous the other day, when the gentleman from Mississippi [Mr. Lamar] concluded his interesting remarks, to make some observations which were suggested by his speech. I have in vain sought an opportunity until the present time. I listened to the speech of the gentleman with mingled feelings of pleasure and regret. I always hear him with gratification whenever he chooses to address the House on important public questions. His speech the other day was a masterpiece of intellectual power and skill. I cannot conceive that the opinions be advanced could have been defended with more power of argument or commended with more adroit and persuasive appeal to those of his countrymen who differ from him. I certainly am not one of those, if any there are, who would impute to the gentleman from Mississippi any want of sincerity in the opinions he has advanced in this debate, or in the positions he has heretofore taken which have attracted the attention of the country. I shared with the people of my own State in the pleasure created by his manly and eloquent tribute to the memory of our beloved Senator. I do not arrogate to myself the right to go behind the public utterances of gentlemen in debate here and impute to them motives which they themselves disclaim. If I did, I freely say that I deem it incredible that a man should know how to touch the noblest chords of manly sympathy in the hearts of his countrymen unless such sympathies were congenial to his own breast. I was therefore especially sorry that in sounding for his party the key-note of the coming presidential campaign the gentleman seems to have wholly abandoned the sentiments toward the majority of his countrymen and the Government of his country which actuated him on the occasion to which I have referred. His last speech, however philosophic its guise or however apparently calm or impartial, was in full accord with the uniform tone of the democratic press, northern and southern.
