Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Great Rebellion: Calhoun, Seward and Lincoln: Address of Hon. J. M. Ashley, at Memorial Hall, Toledo, Ohio, June 2, 1890 Mr. President, and Ladies and Gentlemen: I need not tell you how welcome your cordial greeting is to me to-night. You can all see that. In again meeting so many of my old friends face to face, I remember with pride the greetings which I have received on like occasions, when making public addresses here at home. And as I stand here and recognition follows recognition, my pulse beats are quicker, and I am glad that I accepted the invitation of your committee. At first I felt that I could not take the time, and I certainly should not have done so but for the worthy object which your committee represented to me you had in hand. The surroundings in this hall; the beautiful display of flags - with the quartet singing, and the thoughts and emotions of the hour, stir my heart to its very depths, and carries me back to the historic scenes and heroic acts of 1861, and I feel that I am again but thirty six years old. In my mind´s eye there is now passing before me panorama after panorama, the like of which the world had never seen, and of which many before me formed a part. And though more than a quarter of a century has elapsed, I can see to-night, as I then saw, the advancing, resistless power, which glowed in face and eye and step, as the volunteer soldiers of the Republic, in the faith and hope and strength of youth, marched forth to victory or death.
