Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from An Oration on the Life and Character of Zachary Taylor: Late President of the United States, Delivered in Cincinnati, at the Funeral Solemnites in Honor of the Deceased, August 1, 1850 A Second time, my friend, within a period of less than ten years, we are assembled within this house of God, sorrowing for the loss of the Chief Executive Magistrate of the nation. On the 14th of May, 1841, we met here to mingle our tears and give expression to our great regret for the death of the President of the United States our own beloved and venerated friend and neighbor, William Henry Harrison. The Almighty, in his inscrutable Providence, has stricken down by death, from the same exalted office, one equally illustrious, on account of his public services, and especially beloved and revered for the rarest combination of great virtues - Zachary Taylor, the Chief Magistrate, the chosen head of this great nation, has "gone to his long home," and all the people mourn, mourn the hero, mourn the magistrate, mourn the man. Harrison and Taylor - these two of all the Presidents, and these within, comparitively, a very short period of each other, died in office - the one, as it were, on the very threshold, the other in the beginning, of their administrative career - died, when hopes of wise guidance and greatest good from them were strongest and brightest - died, "when our need was the sorest." Our minds go back to the times when these two distinguished men were last, and for the last time, in our midst; the times immediately preceeding the periods of their inauguration into that high office, to which they had been chosen by the suffrages of a majority of their fellow citizens, by reason of services rendered, and qualities possessed by them, in many respects of striking similarity.
