Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration Pronounced at Saugus, July Fourth, 1815, the Anniversary of American Independence There is a beauty and grandeur in the scene, which fills my mind with sublime perceptions, and my heart with the most delectable feelings, when a great and happy people throng annually to their hallowed temples, to celebrate the memorable era of their national Independence. Is there any in this assembly who have heard and who remember the events which gave birth to this bright anniversary, and can look with cold-hearted indifference and stupid apathy on its periodic return? - No, I would not think there is one here who does not feel as he ought on so brilliant an occasion. He who cannot perceive, who cannot affix a proper estimate on the blessings of rational liberty, cannot be expected to mingle in common with us grand and delectable feelings. When our progenitors first came to this country they found it a howling wilderness: - The Indian, brutes and birds, were tenants in common of the dismal shade, which, tangled and matted, was almost impenetrable to the solar beam.
