Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of Judge James Sloane: Delivered in the Wigwam of the Seventeenth Ward, Cincinnati, August 28, 1868 Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: I Do not believe that General Grant, as respects either quantity of mental endowments, or quantity of acquired knowledge, is better fitted for the Presidency than every other man in the United States: and yet I do most powerfully and potently believe, that in the present condition of the country, and in view of the troubles which lie before us in the future, General Grant is, by far, the most suitable and safe man to be elected President for the next four years. Regarding merely the quantity of mental endowments and acquired knowledge, there are thousands his superiors. Not to mention others, that distinguished political hermaphrodite, Salmon P.Chase, has, perhaps I may admit, more intellect than Grant, - for Chase is a man of great intellect; and in literary attainments, political experience, and knowledge of state-craft, he very far, indeed, surpasses Grant. It is not, then, in quantity, but in quality, that I maintain the superiority of Grant to consist. In determining the fitness of a person for a given work, the question is not so much, what is the quantity of his powers, as, what is the adaptation of his powers to the proposed work. There were a thousand men of the Revolutionary period, having more intellect and more learning than Washington; but no one of them was so well fitted for the Presidency of the United States as he: and it is to the fact, perhaps, that the people of that day had the good sense to see this, that the people of this day owe their existence as a nation.
