Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Republic at Peace: A Discourse Delivered on the Occasion of the National Fast, June 1st, 1865, in the Church of the Redeemer, Cincinnati, Ohio Not two months have elapsed since the death of Abraham Lincoln; but the news has gone round the world, and already has every civilized nation uttered its voice of sorrow and appreciation. Never in history has there been a verdict to the excellence of one man so prompt and so unanimous. From St. Petersburgh to San Francisco, the head of every great nation has spoken, and all have repeated the same thing - that in the sudden fall of Abraham Lincoln, the cause of good government, public and private virtue, and human advancement, has met a bereavement that can only be explained by a gracious Providence. No man of any reputation in any civilized land has dared, even if he has desired, to disparage the character and services of the good President so suddenly removed from his lofty position. In the loyal States of the Republic, his bitterest political and personal enemies have almost caught the words of eulogy out of the mouths of his best friends. The rebel leaders who, for the past four years, have covered his name with every species of calumny, and some of whom have certainly contemplated, if not plotted his violent death, make haste to purge themselves of this suspicion of the crime of his taking off. The sovereign of all the great empires on the globe know too well how different and rare is such virtue as his in such a place, and bear affection tribute to a character they cannot hope to excel. And from the innermost heart of every people on the globe is coming up that spontaneous assurance which will become the deliberate verdict of history, that our departed father will take his place among the few who were at once the rulers and the benefactors of mankind. And already do all good and sincere men begin to feel the inspiring and reconciling influence of his memory.
