Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wendell Phillips in Faneuil Hall: Speech on Louisiana Difficulties The citizens of Boston were summoned to record her verdict on the conduct of the Executive of the United States. I looked over the list of gentlemen who summoned to Faneuil Hall the people of Boston, asking myself, If this be the voice of Boston, who are the Boston men that summon us to this expression of Boston opinion? Who are the men that vote and pay taxes here, and bear the shame or the glory of being citizens of Boston, that summon this meeting? The first named is Charles Francis Adams of Quincy (tremendous applause), a very worthy gentleman, but he votes in Quincy. (Great confusion here prevailed.) If you will only hear me, you will see that I mean no disrespect to Mr. Adams or any other signer. (Cries of "You can´t," and "Hear him.") I say that Mr. Adams - allow me to speak - that Mr. Adams - (applause and confusion) - if you will only hear me, gentlemen, we shall save time. I have no intention - Here the noise was so great that Mr. Phillips could not fee heard, and the President arose to restore order. So great, however, was the noise, the words "Question" and "Free Speech" being shouted on all sides, that for some time the President could say nothing. At length the noise subsided to a certain extent, and the President said: "Fellow-citizens, hear Mr. Phillips; hear anybody and everybody who wishes to speak in Faneuil Hall. Be patient and give them your ears, and finally, vote according to your own judgment." The words were received with great applause, and Mr. Phillips continued. He said: - I observed on this list, gentlemen, the names of worthy citizens from Salem, and Plymouth, and Quincy, and Worcester, and Cambridge: but, gentlemen, I called up to my memory the hundred men - lawyers, merchants, clergymen and editors - who, in the judgment of the world, would be understood to represent the city of Boston.
