Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eulogy on Daniel Webster: Delivered in Syracuse, N. Y., Nov; 13, 1852 Expounder of our great national character - that brilliant light which is, destined, like a pillar of fire, to lead the present benighted nations of the earth to Liberty and Independence - Therefore, Resolved, That in common with every district in this wide confederacy, we regard the death of Daniel Webster as an affliction, not merely, of a national character, but as one which can be circumscribed by no other boundaries than the intelligence and civilization which may exist throughout the world at large. Resolved That brillant as may have been the annals of this Young American Republic in the number of its highly gifted statesmen, yet no page of its history will exhibit in brighter, or more enduring colors the power of human intellect or patriotic sentiment, than the efforts of Daniel Webster in defence of the Constitution, of the Union of the States, and the fair and legitimate authority of the general Government. Resolved, That without distinction of sect or party, we mingle our tears with the nation at large, at this great bereavement, which has thus suddenly stricken down the last of the four brilliant lights of the present century. No more shall their clarion voices be heard in our national councils, instructing, illustrating, and electrifying the world with the great truths of political science and constitutional liberty. - But we cannot avoid the consolatory reflection, that they have left behind them the rich legacy of their colossal intellects and lofty sentiments, which like the beacon fires of old, shall continue to blaze on every hill, until universal and well regulated constitutional freedom and independence shall be enjoyed by all the nations of the earth. Resolved, That in the galaxy of great and brilliant spirits whose resplendent glories have overspread the American continent during the present century, we cannot but regard Daniel Webster as one of the greatest lights in this mighty constellation, and which, on its going out, has cast a dark shadow over the land - how justly and appropriately may we ask - "And is he gone? The pure of the purest, The hand that upheld our bright banner the surest. Is he gone from our struggles away? But yesterday lending a People new life, Cold, mute in the coffin to day !"
