Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration Delivered Before the Citizens of Buffalo: July 5th, 1852 Citizens: Again, has the birthday of our liberty dawned upon us. Again, we are permitted to behold the glad return of the Sabbath day of freedom. A joyful hymn of praise and thanksgiving arises from every vale in our extended land. The anthem is swelling from a million tongues; a million hearts beat proudly as its echoing tones proclaim the Jubilee of our Independence. We come up to the nation´s high and holy festival with the songs of exultation, our bosoms thrill with the influences of the consecrated day, our souls are animated by the inspiring spirit that is borne along on every rising breeze, and we congregate beneath the eternal dome of heaven, around the altars of our freedom, and amid the institutions of our love, to light anew in our hearts the sacred flame, that the watch-fires of liberty may never cease to burn. Our oblations are not offered to decorate a monarchs shrine, we render no homage to the majesty of kings; but we commemorate that day when the rights of man were declared before the world, when rational liberty was proclaimed upon a regenerated earth, and tyranny trembled on its thrones. How grateful our remembrances! how heartfelt our congratulations! how earnest and confident our hopes! how pure the sources of our pride, and the fountains of our patriotic triumph!
