Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eulogy on the Life and Character of the Late Daniel Webster These men, the first in the generations of freedom, have lived, acted their parts, and passed away; but not into oblivion or forgetfulness, for their deeds survive in the noble institutions which they hi bequeathed to their country. But these great men were not only the founders of new and wiser institutions than had existed previously to their advent into the world, but they have left behind them examples of wisdom, courage -and unselfish devotion, which have produced their fruits in the generation which succeeded them, and which is now fast disappearing in its turn. It is one, and one of the most illustrious of this second generation of American sages and patriots of whom I have been invited to speak to-night - not in the language of common-place eulogy, but of historic truth. It is of Daniel Webster, the man, the orator, lawyer and statesman, such as he lived and died, about whom I am to speak, about whom you are to listen. And perhaps no better illustration of the workings of our republican institutions could be found than the history of the life of the great American state-man, the ablest expounder and champion of the Constitution. Having been born and entered upon the stage of public action, whilst the father of the republic and the trainers of its constitution were still at the helm, guiding the newly launched ship of state, he became deeply imbued with their principles, and thoroughly acquainted with the views which they entertained of the manner of conducting the government, both in regard to its domestic and foreign policy. His reverence for Washington and his noble compatriots was deep and sincere; and his respect for their opinions had great influence in shaping and giving color to his own. Mr. Webster descended from revolutionary stock. His father was a native of New Hampshire, where Daniel Webster, the subject of this discourse, was horn on the 18 th day of January.
