Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speeches of Maj. Wm; A. Stokes, U. S. Army, and Hon. Edgar Cowan, U. S. Senate: Delivered at the Union Convention, Westmoreland County, Pa; September, 1861 Honored, Fellow Citizens, by your invitation of to-day, I am still more honored by being the advocate of our Country - yet loved and venerated by all but those whose treason has changed a benificent mother into an avenging ruler, and who hate the name justly invoked to repel their attacks and punish their crimes. Justice never sleeps, but unceasingly pursues those who outrage her commands, presenting every where and always to the eyes and minds of murderers, robbers and traitors, a horrid spectacle, awful, inflexible, armed with the lightning of the Divine wrath, and sure soon to strike with resistless power. It is this - this abject fear of punishment - this trembling of the arraigned culprit, which is now the impelling motive of the chiefs of the rebellion and which prolongs - for the hope of favorable negotiation - a contest known to be hopeless. Disappointed ambition, pride of position, self-assumed superiority, the resolve to rule or ruin, originated the demands, denunciations and threats of 1860; intensified by inherent virulence of political poison, into the treason of 1861, and culminating in the formation of a pretended nation - alas, too, in the fire and blood of military conflict.
