Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the Tammany Society, at Tammany Hall, New York: July 4th, 1873 We have assembled to celebrate the ninety-seventh anniversary of the Declaration of American Independence. It was a Declaration made amid doubts and dangers and difficulties. It was maintained only after long struggles and sacrifices and suffering. And it was finally followed by a national prosperity so great as to have endeared the memory of the day, not only to the people of that generation, but also to their children and their children´s children. And yet the separation of the people of these States from Great Britain could, in no event, have failed long since to have taken place; and whatever may be our present dangers, that of subjugation by any European power, or even loss of national independence, is not among them. This anniversary comes to us, then, as his birthday comes to a man - not so much as a day on which to rejoice because he was born, as one on which to consider upon his situation, his duties, and his future. What, then, shall we say of the present condition of these United States? On every hand an unprecedented material prosperity prevails. The three millions of people whose declaration of independence we celebrate, then thinly scattered along the Atlantic seaboard, have grown to be the forty millions of our time. Every where this people have pushed back the forest and subdued the wilderness. To-day they hold the continent from one of the great oceans of the world to the other.
