Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of Governor Jewell of Connecticut, Delivered at Cooper Institute: September 11th, 1872 And yet we are finding not a few who have heretofore been warmly attached to the fortunes of our party,, laying that all the good which it can accomplish, it has already done, and that it ought now to give way to other issues, and ignominiously perish. Not so does it look to me. Our party must continue its onward and upward progress until the last vestige of antagonism between the races of people, of which our nation is composed, has been completely and entirely extinguished. For no other possible end could Providence have raised up this magnificent and, powerful party. No compensation but this will be equal to the fearful loss of life and treasure by which the nation has attained its present position. If any bloody chasms still exist, it is the duly of this party to fill them up, and to plant above them the seeds of peace, prosperity, and unity. Bloody chasms do not belong to an era, to a people, to an intelligence, to a religion like ours, and it is only necessary that we attend as carefully to our political duties as to those of our private and social life, to make our fair land what we have each one of us been hoping and expecting it would be, since in our childhood we learned the truisms of the Declaration of Independence. Nothing but an earnest wish to contribute my mite to the accomplishment of all this could have induced me to leave my counting-room, and appear before you, to-night, in the role of public speaker. In all our later presidential campaigns, up to this, we have had two great parties confronting each other, each with a distinct set of principles and candidates. Candidates have heretofore been selected, representing the principles of their party, by a life-long devotion to them, and an earnest wish to carry them out, and each surrounded by party safeguards, watchwords, and histories, which like an unwritten law would keep them-in certain grooves.
