Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Present and Future Prospects of Chicago: An Address Delivered Before the Chicago Lyceum, January 20, 1846 Gentlemen of the Lyceum: - In entering upon the duties assigned me, as President of this Lyceum, I shall at present do little more than thank you for the honor conferred upon me by the appointment, and assure you in the simplicity of my heart, as every militia officer does in New England, from the General of Brigade, down to the Fourth Corporal, on his elevation "to rank and fame," that "I will endeavor to serve you according to the best of my abilities." In order, however, that I may do so, it is necessary that I speak to you with freedom. This I shall do at all events, both now and hereafter, whether you hear or whether you forbear. Our Saviour while on earth, in speaking to those he addressed, said they were a generation of vipers, that they were wolves in sheep´s clothing, and so forth. The Apostle Paul used language equally plain and often as severe. The elder Cato, in speaking of the Roman people, said, "They were like sheep, for as those can scarcely be brought to stir singly, but all in a body readily follow their leaders;" just such are ye. "The men whose council you would not take as individuals, lead you with ease in a crowd." It may, perhaps, be so with us, and, to a certain extent, it unquestionably is.
