Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration, Delivered in St. Philip´s Church, Before the Inhabitants of Charleston, on the Fourth of July, 1809 Fellow Citizens, In republishing, for the purpose of dedicating to you, an Oration written twenty years ago, in favour of the wisdom and expediency of Union, and against the folly and madness of Disunion, I trust that the present crisis will be my best apology. I have gathered from the experience and reflections of twenty years, the most ample confirmation of every argument and opinion, in the following composition. I lay before you, at the same time, the sentiments of the young man, just entering on the business of life, and glowing with the ardent feelings of early manhood; and those of the same person, in the maturity of years, earnestly and affectionately vindicating the same cause, the Union of these States. May he stand absolved, at the tribunal of his Country, from all imputations, unworthy of the Carolinian and the American. For myself, I feel, that fortune and happiness, yea, even life itself, would lose their chief value, if these States, though Christian and educated communities, should ever cease to be United. Our Country would then no longer be the land of Peace, Forbearance and Brotherly love; of mutual emulation and improvement; of a common ancestry, to be reverenced, and imitated by each; and of a common posterity, to be loved and provided for by all. May that Providence, which trained us up through the infancy, childhood, and youth of colonial dependence, and which hath called us forth, at his own appointed time, a free and independent Nation, to be a light, and example, and warning to the world, never reserve for us, in the darkest hour of his wrath, the scourge of Disunion. We must expect our trials and our chastisements, for national transgressions. We have sinned, and we shall continue to sin against the Ruler and Judge of nations. But, when our day of affliction shall overtake us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
