Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the First Society of Free Enquirers, in Boston: On Sunday, July 4, 1830 Once more a year has rolled round, and this great nation, celebrates a day which millions yet unborn will hail as blessed. A day snatched from the calendar of time, raised above all its fellows, and consecrated to thy service - fair goddess of Liberty! Once more a year has rolled round, and this great nation lives a progressingly free and happy republic. Steadily as the sun she rises to her meridian, diffusing light and genial heat over all the nations of the globe: - a terror to those only, who live by deeds of darkness; but the admiration of all intelligent well wishers of the human race. Arrived at her zenith may she there remain till man himself shall cease to be, and´ lime exist no more. Once more a year has rolled round, and we meet again, to remind each other, and our children, of those brave men, who, long having groaned under the rod of foreign oppression, and patiently borne every indignity which crowned ambition, and mitred rapacity could heap upon them, rose in the majesty of a peoples´ strength, determined to be free, and in defiance of Britain´s huge and veteran power, dared to proclaim to a wonder-struck, and listening world, the long slumbered truth-"All men are born Free and Equal!" Fifty four years have now passed on, since those brave men, whose, blood now flows through all your children´s veins, gave to the world this charter of a nation´s rights, and pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, to its support. Long was their struggle, and their task severe; still in their darkest hour, the bright torch of liberty led them onward, till the star spangled banner waved o´er every citadel from Maine to Georgia, and their little fleet floated triumphantly on the sea, in defiance of the former "mistress of the ocean."
