Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration, Delivered Before the Democratic Citizens of Allegheny County, Celebrating the 57th Anniversary of American Independence, on the Fourth July, 1833 You have come together, my fellow citizens, for no ordinary purpose. To hold in grateful remembrance this holy Sabbath of American liberty, calls forth the noblest and most exalted feelings of our nature, and elevates you in the estimation of all human kind. All your common avocations are this day suspended, and you have assembled round the festive board, to forget your former feuds and animosities, to soften your political prejudices, to contemplate the grandeur and stability of your republican institutions, and to sing the pas an of your country´s deliverance. No event can be more interesting - no spectacle can be more sublime, than to witness you doing honor to the mighty dead, and holding up to public admiration, "Amid the blaze of their sunset halos," the deeds of those heroic men, who laid the corner stone of the Republic, in the sombre hour of the Revolution. Other people celebrate the birth-days of their kings and potentates, whose whole lives may have been a scene of moral carnage; but to you is reserved the ennobling privilege, by spontaneous consent, of marking the annual return of a day, that spoke into existence a nation, and on which was performed the proudest act recorded in the annals of humanity. Their public fete may be attended with all the splendor of royal magnificence, and all the opulence of the aristocracy, enlisted by the impulse of a time-serving motive; but yours is the voluntary offering of the heart, for achievements that are past, but vivid and bright in the recollection of all. The 4th of July, ´76, has no parallel in history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
