Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration, Pronounced Before the Citizens of Bangor: On the Fourth of July, 1838, the Sixty-Second Anniversary of American Independence Fellow Citizens: - I congratulate you on the sixty-second anniversary of American Independence. In discharging the duty assigned to me on this occasion, I am happy to meet an assembly like this, convened on the broad ground of American citizenship. Other grounds and other interests have been made too prominent, of late years, in the celebration of this day. The day belongs not to any partial interest or single cause, however sacred in itself. It belongs to the American citizen - a name, an interest which includes all others and transcends all others. The day is national, and strictly national should our celebration of it be. Other interests shall have their due. Education, Temperance - the whole year shall be theirs; but on this day we will know only our country, we will consider only those great principles of national polity which have made our country what it is; and through which alone we can hope to maintain what we are and have.
