Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Historic Parallel, Being a Compilation and Arrangement of Historic Facts One equivalent of sulphur, combines with three equivalents of oxygen, to form sulphuric acid, and it matters not when or where this combination takes place, the result is invariably the same. We shall offer an array of historic facts, which we think undisputably prove, that the political concerns of this republic are controlled by laws equally in variable in their results. The only necessary qualification being, that conditions in each and every case shall be positively similar. There are many reasons for believing that man´s intellectual, as well as his physical being, acts only in consonance with fixed immutable principles of nature. We feel that we are wholly free to think, to act; but are we, really doing more than obeying the impulses of nature´s universal law of attraction and repulsion. Certain it is, that one is attracted by the very thing that may repel another, one may be induced to do what another is equally decided not to do. It is evident, if conditions were similar, that is, if we were of one mould in quality and quantity, we would all act and think alike. Our aim in this lecture is to discover those conditions in our past history which have paralled each other, by the aid of which we may gain a glimps into the future, for such is by no means improbable, as you may see. Take for instance the public life and services of Henry Clay, whether in parliamentary debates where the position of parties, and the fate of measures were concerned, or whether occupied in those matchless efforts when listening Senators were swayed, and multitudes moved, or in advancing the doctrine ef protection, or of internal improvements, we find him foremost as a leader and an idol of his party. All these in each and every essential particular, which as a force, affects the onward march of this government, finds its counterpart in James G. Blaine: not only this, but as if to furnish a clue to the number of years constituting our cycle, we find that precisely 40 years elapse before the environment is such as to produce a corresponding result.
