Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fitz-John Porter The House having under consideration the hill (S. 1844) for the relief of Fitz-John Porter - Mr. Wheeler said: Mr. Speaker: As regards the conduct of man to man, the highest command given is that he do unto others even as he would that others should do unto him; and when wrong is done to any man it should be restored to him twofold. If this mandate should be observed by men, how imperatively should it be the law to govern sovereignties of men! And if reparation must be made to all men, by what, rules of measurement should a nation make restitution for the wrongs indicted upon a public servant whose patriotic, faithful, and heroic service has given luster to her military renown? General Porter does not ask that the Scriptural precept be meted to him - that to him should be restored twofold for the wrong that has been done him. The demand for justice does not come from him; it comes from the people. Let me express myself clearly. I do not rise, Mr. Speaker, to make an appeal for Fitz-John Porter. That ho has been the victim of wrong, great wrong, has been incontrovertibly proven to the American people. He has suffered, and his family has shared his cup of bitterness. Yes, Mr. Speaker, for the fifth of a century the pangs of a living death have been their portion, but his grandeur of character, sustained by Christian virtue, has proved equal to the emergency.
