Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oration Delivered at the Democratic Republican Celebration of the Sixty-Third Anniversary of the Independence of the United States: In the City of New-York, Fourth July, 1839 Fellow-Citizens, It is a custom, which has prevailed throughout this country for more than half a century, for numbers to assemble upon this day. to withdraw their minds from the avocations and thronging cares of life, to indulge the delightful feelings, and, through some appointed organ, to give utterance to the spirit-stirring thoughts, which it so naturally awakens. Although many, not content with questioning the utility of this custom, have assailed it with the keenest ridicule, it still continues, and will continue among us, until there are no longer hearts to glow with admiration of the patriotism, and gratitude for the services of the founders of our government. I neither rate highly the judgment, nor wish to participate in the feelings of him, who sneers at this custom, merely because expression may have occasionally been given to rant and extravagance.
