Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Remarks of the Hon. Peleg Sprague at Faneuil Hall: Before the Citizens of Boston and Its Vicinity, Upon the Character and Services of Gen. William Henry Harrison, of Ohio, the Whig Candidate for the Presidency of the United States Mr. Sprague said that having been a Delegate to the Harrisburg Convention he was called upon to give some account of the proceedings of that body. He should attempt only a plain statement, and, as he appeared somewhat in the character of a witness, it might not be improper to state his own position. I am, said Mr. S., no politician; I cannot afford to take any political station. When I came to reside in this city, it was with a fixed determination to devote myself exclusively to the practice of my profession. I came to Massachusetts because it was the place of my birth, because here were my relations, my early friends, my dearest associations; because the soil of Massachusetts covered the bones of my ancestors for two centuries and I wished, in the fulness of time, to mingle my ashes with theirs. I adhered to the determination which I had formed, to take no part in politics, except what belongs to a private citizen who loves his country, until I was called upon, in a manner which I thought I could not resist, to attend the Harrisburg Convention. The pre-eminent Statesman of our own Commonwealth having been withdrawn, - I went there the ardent friend of Henry Clay, revering his virtues, with the highest admiration for his genius, and the fullest confidence in his existed, self-devoted patriotism. I carried with me, as I believed, your wishes for his elevation to the Chief Magistracy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
