Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration Delivered Before the Washington Association: At a Stated Meeting, March 16th, 1813 In his valedictory address to the American People, on retiring from the stage of public life, General Washington, with a parental eye towards their future welfare, admonished them to check the progress of party spirit. Had the advice of that great man been followed, we would have been at this moment a prosperous and united nation. The smiles of happiness would illumine that brow, darkened at present by the clouds of care. The ploughman, whistling to the gale, serene and undisturbed, would urge on his wearied team, while the hammer of the mechanic, and the cheerful song of the sailor, would stun the glad ear with vociferous industry. But the gloomy silence of our streets, the anxious countenances of our merchants, and the total stoppage of all business, indicate a most unfortunate situation of affairs, while the clamorous declamation of politicians and the virulent denunciations of the public presses, demonstrate the rancour of party animosity, and prove that we are a divided and distracted people. Despising the excellent counsel of the venerable Washington, ambitious demagogues seeking to gain a name and to acquire power, have assiduously endeavoured to fan the flame of civil discord.
