Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address on the Life and Character of John Caldwell Calhoun: Delivered Before the Citizens of Montgomery, Alabama on the Fourth July, 1850 Fellow-Citizens: John C. Calhoun died, in the City of Washington, on the 31st of March last. Our great countryman had long known that "The duties of life are more than life;" and had crowded the years of his existence with deeds of goodness. Having lived in the performance of duty, he found it easy to submit himself with cheerfulness to the closing duty of life - to surrender his spirit to God with "an unfaltering trust." But to the country, and to the section, of both of which he was the pride and glory, his death was a most unpropitious event. Dark as is the storm, which had long been gathering in our horizon, and now rages with portentous power, we ever had a cheering hope while that veteran pilot trod the deck. Now that he has gone, who is there in our midst that does not fancy that the wild winds howl in fiercer gusts through the rigging - that the mighty waves roll higher, and beat upon our vessel with a more engulphing power - that the seething deep yawns darker and more horribly beneath the trembling prow? His death occurred at a time when the two great divisions of our country - the North and the South - were arrayed against each other upon a sectional question of vital importance - when the public mind exhibited a more high-wrought intensity and bitterness of feeling in reference to the issue, than had been manifested at any previous period in our history.
