Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration, in Honor of the Memory of George Clinton, Late Vice-President of the United States: Delivered May 19, 1812 Fellow Citizens, Another soldier of the revolution is gone. The few that now remain will soon have been; and even while they linger may envy, perhaps, his earlier exit. For surely the view of public affairs may well inspire a doubt, whether those who loved the late Vice President, should consider his death as a source of sorrow, or a subject of congratulation. He loved his country, he had contributed to her triumph and enjoyed her glory in the prime of youth and strength of manhood; but, although, bending beneath the weight of age, he was doomed to behold her in a wretched condition which he could not amend, which he could not but deplore. Pardon a sentiment thus torn from my bosom. We are not met to sacrifice on the altar of party spirit, but rather to sacrifice that spirit on a patriot´s tomb. In his long and active life, having conciliated many friends, he must (for such is our lot) have had some enemies.
