Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration: Delivered in St. Andrew´s Church, on the Fourth of July, 1821, Before the St. Andrew´s Company, and at Their Request Friends and Fellow-Citizens. At a period of perfect tranquillity at home, and a peace almost universal among the nations of the earth, we assemble to keep the birth day of our Country´s emancipation from tyranny. An American on this occasion feels a pride to which the rest of mankind are comparatively strangers. He is animated by the remembrance of the proud defiance shown by his Ancestors to a King and Ministry and Parliament, who dared venture to treat them as slaves. He feels a glory in recollecting the more than Roman valor and Spartan fortitude, with which, the Revolutionary Patriots fought through countless dangers and surmounted difficulties seemingly endless. He is almost amazed, at the adventure so bold and hazardous, of a people at once, changing their old habits and prejudices, and passing from a foreign yoke and kingly domination, to a state of self controul and free-government. If he is dazzled at the brilliance of the attempt, and delighted with the originality of its conception, he is more rejoiced at the extraordinary success which crowned the endeavours of its projectors. The blessings flowing from that abundant source, he is experiencing in all their excellence. No human being like himself claims him as property. No homage is due from him to the chief of a nation, who inherits its inhabitants, as they do their lands and flocks and herds.
