Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration Delivered Before the Municipal Authorities and Citizens of Providence, July 4, 1863 Fellow Citizens: - The day which invites us to assemble here, is one of the most eventful in human history. Familiar as it may have become to us, its solemn significance to our nation and to our race can know no diminution. Especially significant is its coming now; as it finds us, not in the sunshine of sweet peace, and the uninterrupted enjoyment of our industrial vocations; but overshadowed by the heavy clouds of war;our land darkened with armed hosts, who have gone out from quiet homes and places of labor, to do their duty as defenders of our nation in the field of exhaustive and sanguinary strife. If we meet as civilians here, it is a martial atmosphere that we breathe, and the stirring trumpet-notes of the encampment or battle-ground seem to be calling us to the observances of this occasion. And what can be more appropriate as a theme for the brief time here allotted us, than that of Our Country, and its Claims upon us?
