Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address to the Inhabitants of the State of Delaware Fellow Countrymen and Citizens, - I hope I shall not be charged with impertinence, if I endeavour to call your attention to one or two subjects, of great importance to ourselves and our posterity. The voice of admonition, when it comes from a friend, may sometimes be heard with advantage, even though little may be offered which was not previously known. It must be admitted that the time, now passing over us, is of a very singular character. Pecuniary distress seems to have spread its raven wing over every part of our land. The merchant at his desk, the mechanic in his shop, and the farmer at the plough, have felt and still feel, its withering and benumbing influence. Without war or famine, to destroy or withhold the productions of the earth, industry languishes and enterprise sickens. May we not, in this case, adopt the opinion, "that affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;" but that there is an overruling Hand, which guides the destinies of nations, and often brings distress upon them, by means which human sagacity can neither foresee nor prevent?
