Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech Delivered at the Whig Mass Meeting: Held at the Poydras Market, on Friday Evening, October 24, 1851 Fellow Citizens: It is a long time since I have had the pleasure of meeting and communing with you in a body. During that time, many questions of great importance and delicacy, touching the peace and harmony of the Union, and the very existence of our national government, have arisen, been discussed, and finally settled to the satisfaction of the great body of the American people, by the constitutional, honorable and expedient measures embraced in the Compromise, adopted under the lead of Clay and Webster, Cass and Foote, and other distinguished statesmen and patriots, who - whatever may be their differences on matters of mere party politics - have, by their magnanimous conduct on this occasion, entitled themselves to the gratitude of every true-hearted American. And I should not be true to myself, to liberty, and to the duty which I owe the country, if I refrained from rendering them the humble tribute of my applause. During that time, too, the State of Louisiana and the city of New Orleans have remained under the regular and peaceable operation of the present Constitution of the State; but I regret to say, fol-low-citizens, that we have failed to keep pace with our sister States in the great inarch of progress. In spite of the natural advantages which the city of New Orleans has enjoyed, she has been outstripped in the race of improvement by Now York, and Boston, and Baltimore, and Philadelphia, and other cities of the Union.
