Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Enosinian Society of the Columbian College, D. C. July 4, 1837 The anniversary of a day illustrious in our annals, and memorable in the history of the world, is well and properly observed as a National Festival, and its recurrence hailed as a season of rejoicing, and a time for the generous indulgence of patriotic feelings. Singular and favored in this, as in many other respects, we commemorate the epoch at which we not only assumed a name among the nations of the earth, as a separate and independent People, but became invested, also, at the same time, with the highest and best prerogatives of freedom known and acknowledged by our race. Other countries have passed through gradual and often slow and protracted improvements in their progress from the darkness of Despotism to the glorious light of Liberty; but we, more fortunate in our destiny, stepped forth boldly and at once from Colonial vassalage into the full and broad blaze of the meridian sun of National Independence; and our young eagle, when he first plumed his wings for flight, gazed as fixedly and with as unquailing an eye upon its dazzling splendor, as he now does, after sixty-one years have given strength to his pinions and power to his sight. And, however the contrary may be the case with individuals, and for the most part with communities, a long and tedious experience of all the phases of government, was, at least, not necessary with us, to prepare for the exercise or the enjoyment of the rights we asserted and acquired.
