Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American State and American Statesmen As the festivals of the Church are preceded by retreats, in order that humiliation may open the door of joy, so is it wise that patriotic reflection should go before and even go under patriotic jubilees. Has our country been faithful to her origin, her duty, and her destiny? Have we been faithful to our country? That patriotism alone is real which truly tries to ask and answer these questions. He is most a patriot, as he is most a Christian, whose soul kneels in penitence before she soars in exultation. Now, when the full arch of a hundred years spans or soon will span the chief events of our early history as commonly received, and their recent or coming commemoration, it is not the spirit or desire of discord which entreats that some tones of warning may be heard and heeded, before resounds the universal and triumphant music of congratulation. Are we sure that we have reached the very summit of political wisdom in our structure of government? This ground is constantly assumed. Is it rightly assumed? Have we long since passed the point where it was our plain duty to learn; and has it long since become our plain prerogative to teach?
