Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Addresses, on Several Occasions: Delivered in the Senate of the United States Stephen A. Douglas, died in Chicago, June 3, 1861. On the 9th of July following, at, the special session of Congress, resolutions of respect to his memory were introduced into the Senate. On these resolutions Mr. Anthony addressed the Senate as follows: - Mr. President: To the affectionate praises of friends, and the magnanimous eulogies of rivals, I hope it will not he deemed presumptuous, if I add a few remarks from one who sustained towards the subject of these resolutions the relation of personal friendship and of political antagonism. I first met Mr. Douglas soon after he had taken his seat in this body, in whose debates and deliberations he had already begun to hold a leading part, and with whose history his name has since been so closely identified. The frank cordiality of his manners, the unaffected kindness of his heart, the directness of his speech, and the readiness with which he declared himself upon all the questions of the day, made upon me that favorable impression which a more intimate acquaintance strengthened and confirmed. It is not my purpose to follow his public career, or to enlarge upon the qualities of his character; that grateful office has already been performed. But I have often thought that in his indomitable energy and will, in his sturdy self-reliance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
