Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Message of His Excellency James E. English, Governor of Connecticut, to the Legislature of the State: May Session, 1867 Fellow-Citizens of the Senate and The House of Representatives: In entering upon the duties to which I have been called at this interesting period of our history, I am impressed with the consciousness of my inability to meet the expectations of those who have so generously honored me with the trust; and I should be destitute of feeling were I not deeply affected by the confidence reposed in me by my fellow-citizens. National Affairs. The situation of public affairs is in every aspect important. Two years have elapsed since our country emerged from a civil war such as the world had never witnessed; a war had been waged to maintain the supremacy of the federal Constitution and the integrity of the National Union. Over the calamities of that unhappy conflict which desolated so large a portion of our country and carried sorrow into so many households, we long shall mourn; but as citizens of a common country we should strive to extinguish the vindictive resentments it engendered. The right of a State voluntarially to withdraw from the Union has been abandoned by those who attempted to carry it into effect. Four years of sanguinary warfare brought this result to the country; and yet the great object of that war has thus far been defeated. The Union is not restored.
