Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ireland Liberty Springs From Her Martyr´s Blood Mr. President: You have done me the honor to request that I should speak to-night on "Ireland," and I consider, therefore, that it is my duty to put you in possession of my opinions on a subject that is now agitating the British Government, and will continue to agitate until justice is done to the Irish nation - a justice demanding the utter destruction of that flag which has floated for centuries over the bones of a murdered people. My theme, then, is Ireland, the land of our affections and our hopes. There was a time when it was considered an evidence of utter degradation for a man to avow that he was a native of that distant and beloved isle. There was a time when, even in your beautiful city of Raleigh, the irresistible pen of a distinguished politician, a name known and honored throughout the land for staunch fidelity to the Union and civil liberty, had to be wielded in vindication of the rights of foreign born citizens under the Constitution and the laws. Thank God - and I say it with a rejoicing heart - those dark periods have passed away, and the thinking men of all classes are now eager to do justice to that country, to which much of the prosperity and glory of this great nation is due. Ireland, heroic, illustrious island! - once a word of reproach, veined with sneering irony, only spoken of by some religious bigot in a sermon, or by some marrowless politician on the stump to cover it with slander and abuse. History has written it as our proudest eulogy. Geographically considered, it is but a small island, with an area of thirty-two thousand miles, and yet to most of her sons, scattered over the earth´s wide surface, there is an indescribable charm and fascination in the very name. There are so many delightful associations over which one lingers in enthusiastic love, and which suggests to the mind illustrious memories of a time when it produced warriors, poets, saints and orators.
