Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address of General J. C Winsmith of South Carolina Fellow-Citizens of the State of South Carolina: Lord Brougham has said "until time shall be no more will a test of the progress which mankind has made in wisdom and in virtue be derived from the veneration paid to the immortal name of Washington." My countrymen, the name of Washington stands like a Colossus upon the pages of history - the "Father of his Country," the Cincinnatus of the west, who led his countrymen to victory and a nation to glory. Heedless of his voice of admonitory and paternal wisdom, the fierce strife of bitter sectionalism and disjunctive provincialism has brought woes unnumbered upon our once happy country, has crimsoned our land with the blood of thousands untimely slain, and has cast the dismal glare of barbarism over the face of fair America. In his farewell address to his countrymen our noble Washington said: "It will be worthy of a free and enlightened and, at no distant period, a great nation to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence." Again he said: "I have labored to discourage all kinds of local attachments and distinctions of country by denominating the whole by the greater name of American." Oblivious of those ideas of "exalted justice and benevolence," forgetting the very name of "American" citizen, the attempt was made to trample in the dust the flag of our country, to tear into shreds its noble history, and to establish upon a corner stone of human slavery a southern sectional confederacy.
