Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from President Lincoln; His Figure in History: A Discourse Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church, Princeton, New Jersey, June 1st, 1865 In the Proclamation of the President, this has been appointed to be observed as "a day of humiliation and mourning." The death of the highest ruler, under any circumstances, is an affliction to the entire people. He stands in the same relation to all. This is as true in elective and representative, as in hereditary governments. Indeed, it may be more eminently true in a system like ours, than in one where the highest office descends by inheritance. The Chief Magistrate with us is one of the people, taken from among the people, and raised to his high place by their suffrages, according to the provisions of a Constitution of their own adoption, or having their free assent. It matters not that a citizen may not have been old enough to join in the suffrage, or that he was out of the country, at the time the choice was made, nor even that he felt it to be his duty to support an opposing candidate; his relation as one of the subjects of government, owing honor, obedience and subjection to the chief executive officer, is precisely the same. No higher obligation rests upon others than upon him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
