Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The New York Election and the State of the Country: Mr. Jay´s Address to the Citizens of Westchester County, on the Approaching State Election Fellow Citizens of Westchester County: The approaching election to choose the Governor of the State and members of the Legislature for Congress is, perhaps, in its bearings upon the nation at large, the most important that was ever held in this or any other of the United States. We are in the midst of a fearful civil war, the aim of which extends far beyond the humbling of our nag, the wasting of our resources, the destruction of our armies, and the seizure of our capital. Those are injuries which might be repaired. In the war of 1812 with Great Britain, that was the object of the English cabinet, and, in part, they temporarily succeeded, even to the seizure of Washington and the burning of its public edifices. But from that contest the American people emerged with honor, their gallantry vindicated, their pride encouraged, their power and vigor and prestige enlarged, and so probably would it ho in every just war in which this Republic might engage, if the people were true to themselves and to the nationality that our fathers have bequeathed to us; for, in our boundless territory, our illimitable resources, and our inexhaustible vigor, consist the elements of recuperation to an extent never found before in any nation of ancient or modern times. But the war in which we arc now engaged presents far graver questions than either of the wars we have waged since the Revolution-for this is aimed at our National life.
