Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dr. Henry´s Speech at Geneva: Plain Reasons for the Great Republican Movement; What We Want; Why We Want It; And What Will Come if We Fail; Remarks Made at a Public Meeting in Geneva, July 19, 1856 Mr. Chairman: - I did not come here to make a speech, but to hear one from a far abler man, and I am taken by surprise in being thus called upon. I can only offer a few unpremeditated remarks, by way of slight prelude to the richer treat we may expect from our distinguished friend. If this were an ordinary political meeting, I should not be here, certainly I should not open my mouth to say a single word. I am not in any sense of the term a party politician. I have never assisted at political meetings, never appeared on political platforms, never spoken, never mixed myself up in any way with party men, party organizations, or party measures. I have abstained from doing so, no less from inclination than from a sense of professional propriety. And if I considered this merely in the light of an ordinary political party movement, you would not see my face or hear my voice in this place. If the question before you were merely a question of political office - one set of men out and another set of men in - and of a new division of the spoils of office; if it were a mere financial or economical question - Free Trade or Tariff, Internal Improvements, Pacific Railroad, or any such question on which the opinions of the country have been, or may now be, divided; I should leave you to settle it among yourselves. But I cannot so regard it. In my opinion the maintenance of our Constitution, the preservation of the Union, and the progress of Christian civilization, are involved in the issues soon to be decided. It is my deliberate and solemn conviction that the dearest interests of Truth, of Justice, of Constitutional Liberty, of the welfare of our nation, and of the whole human race, are at stake. As a Christian, as a patriot, and as a lover of human progress, I feel, therefore, not only justified, but bound to unite with those who have these interests at heart, in all lawful and honorable means, for their salvation.
