Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from And Addrees: Delivered at the Inauguration of the President of Miami University; Oxford, Ohio, August, 1841 Brethren and Friends: - 1 have selected the subject just announced for the occasion which has convened us. We are to witness the inauguration of the recently elected President of Miami University, an event peculiarly interesting and pregnant with hope for this seat of literature and art. I shall detain you but a few moments, although the theme is so importune, that it might justly claim an extended development; but my motive for brevity, is the wish to afford the mind of this audience fresh and unwearied, to the address which will follow in the order of the exercises of the day. Studious, however, as I am, of condensing what I have to say upon the subject just named, lam too sensible of the obligations which this occasion originates, to withhold the full utterance of my views. The season is favorable for considering just such a topic as has been proposed, for the very air which we breathe, as it wafts to us from every section of our land, the tidings of the day, tells the humiliating story of outraged rights, growing insubordination, and popular disregard for the salutary restraints of law. In times like these, how necessary is it to lift the voice and proclaim, that "a religious and patriotic obedience to duly constituted authority is a primary obligation of an American citizen?" I stay not to prove the proposition which is now proposed to you; I should as soon think of attempting to demonstrate any one of the plainest axioms of science. The sentence on which our subject is couched, contains a truth which shines with a self-evident brightness, as clear and vivid as the stars of our national banner.
