Speech of Gerrit Smith, in Congress, on the Reference of the President´s Message (Classic Reprint)

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Speech of Gerrit Smith, in Congress, on the Reference of the President´s Message It is natural, Mr. Chairman - nay, it is almost necessary - that, from the difference in our temperament, our education, our pursuits, and our circumstances, we should take different views of many a subject, which comes before us. But, if we are only kind in expressing these views, and patient in listening to them, no harm, but, on the contrary, great good, will come from our discussions. As this is the first time I have had the floor, it may be well for me now to confess, that I am in the habit of freely imputing errors to my fellow-men. Perhaps, I shall fall into this habit on the present occasion. It may be a bad habit. But is it not atoned for by the fact, that I do not claim, that I am myself exempt from errors; that I acknowledge, that I abound in them; and that I am ever willing, that those, whom I assail, shall make reprisals? I trust, Sir, that so long as I shall have the honor to hold a seat in this body, I may be able to keep my spirit in a teachable posture, and to throw away my errors as fast as honorable gentlemen around me shall convince me of them. I have risen, Mr. Chairman, to make some remarks on that portion of the President´s Message, which it was proposed, a few moments since, to refer to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The Message endorses, fully and warmly, the conduct of the Administration in the case of Martin Koszta. For my own part, I cannot bestow unqualified praise on that conduct. Scarcely upon Capt. Ingraham can I bestow such praise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
