Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration Delivered Before the Different Republican Societies at the Theatre, New York, on the Anniversary of American Independence, July 4, 1814 The importance of the occasion on which we are assembled, is enhanced by the wonderful events of the times in which we live. In an age of revolutions, We are celebrating the anniversary of the American revolution. The principles which produced that great event, after making almost the circuit of the universe - shaking thrones - convulsing empires - and changing the face of Europe, have at last returned to repose in this their native seat, - from which alone they have never been exiled. These principles of civil and religious liberty were borne across the Atlantic by our forefathers, when driven from their native shores. These were their household gods - the dear companions of their flight - the precious legacy which they have left to us, their descendants. Whether exiled from Holland, from France, from Ireland, or from England; - these were the guardian angels that guided their flight across the trackless ocean. Whether Protestants or Catholics, they were alike the victims of political and ecclesiatstical persecution - the ardent votaries of civil and religious freedom.
