Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oration Delivered at the Democratic Republican Celebration of the Sixty-Fourth Anniversary of the Independence of the United States: July Fourth, 1840, at the Methodist Episcopal Church, Greene-Street, in the City of New-York We are informed, by the highest authority, that after mans creation dominion was given to him not only over the vegetable kingdom, but also over the animal tribes. The earth with all its appendages was likewise devoted to his use. But the ample control which was bestowed upon him over both organic and inorganic matter has never been found sufficient to satiate that unchastened lust of power, which frequently finds a lodgment in the human heart. And the perpetuated annals of our race, as well as continued observation, instructs us that individuals are found in every age, and in every clime and country, whose exertions are devoted, either openly or covertly, by force or by fraud, to obtain dominion also over their equals and fellow creatures. The struggle of the few to control the rights and to appropriate the toil of the many - the exactions of governments upon the governed - and the aggressions of the strong upon the weak have, from the remotest periods of antiquity, converted the surface of the inhabited parts of the earth into a vast arena of tears and of blood. So successful has ever been this wide and desolating war of rapacity upon human rights, that with rare and transitory exceptions, the sun, in his diurnal rounds, for thousands of years, has shined only on the palaces of tyrants and the graves of the oppressed.
