Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of General Lewis Cass: With His Letters and Speeches on Various Subjects The lives of the public men of our country is the history of the nation, and in all its vicissitudes and trials no one has filled a more conspicuous and honorable position than the subject of the present memoir. In the language of the veteran Napoleon of the American press, "we know General Cass as a man, and we esteem him. We have seen him for the last three years standing up with all his vigor, and with all his heart, in supposing an administration whose head superseded him four years ago in the votes of the Baltimore Convention. Among the most distinguished statesmen in the land, he has been one of the most decided and the most faithful advocates of an administration which yields to no other in the glory and benefit which it has shed upon its country. If opposition to its measures were to be repelled, Lewis Cass was there to throw himself into the breach. If blows were to be returned, he was there to give them in no stinted measure. If our rights were to be protected abroad, Lewis Cass was there to stand up by the side of a patriotic Executive. If great reforms were to be introduced at home, who more honest and efficient in its support? Faithful and firm as he has proved himself to be, in standing by the friends of the country, he deserves the support of every republican who is friendly to the administration, and devoted to the principles of the Republican party. In the compilation of this volume, the author has examined various and numerous authorities, and condensed, as far as practicable, the numerous incidents connected with the life of General Cass. He is mainly indebted to "Niles´ National Register," "The Congressional Globe," and a series of essays by the Hon. Richard Rush, published in the Richmond Enquirer in the year 1843, under the signature of a "voice from a friend," together with a short biographical sketch contained in the National Portrait Gallery.
