Excerpt from An Oration on the Rise and Progress of the United States of America, to the Present Crisis, and on the Duties of the Citizens After the peace of seventeen hundred and sixty-three, the British ministry proposed to raise a revenue by act of Parliament, from their American colonies. The sum, which, in this manner, they determined to raise, was indeed small, and not equal to the hazard of a revolution, or the expence of a war; but the people of America saw that a violation of principle ought to be resisted in the first instance, and at all hazards; and that, if they once yielded to extortion, there would be no end of demands; and if they once abandoned their right of self-government, there would be no restraint on oppression. Resistance, war, and a revolution ensued. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from An Oration, Addressed to the Citizens of Utica, N. Y., July 4, 1848 War when rightly used, is a terrible scourge, proportionably in mortal hands, like lightning in the hands of the Almighty, a am ing sword of death and destruction; but, at the same time, it is the most effectual means of dispelling the noxious elements which sometimes rise and accumulate in baleful forms, obscuring the rays of truth and justice, to poison and suffocate mankind. Whether the war in which we have just been engaged was originally waged by us offensively or defensively, with good or evil intent, it is not for us now to inquire 3 but, with propriety, we all can, and as patriots, we ought to exult in the brilliancy, power and forbearance of its execution, against the guerilla hosts of our unprincipled foes, and in the glories and acquisitions thence de rived, which are jewels of our country in common.

Excerpt from Emancipation Oration One year after the immortal Lincoln had promulgated the Proclamation of Freedom, a most remarkable spectacle was seen in the City of Washington. The President's recep tion on New Year's Day had heretofore been exclusively allotted to meet white citizens in the executive mansion. The appearance of colored persons was an event that surprised and provoked the multitude of negro-haters, who crowd the doors on such an occasion. The people waited until the num ber of white visitors diminished, then they strengthened their resolution and made bold to enter the hall. Some of them were richly dressed, while others wore the garb of poverty, but alike intent on seeing the man who had set our people free. They pressed forward until they beheld the stately form of the President. An eye-witness says For nearly two hours Mr. Lincoln had been shaking the hands of the 'sovereigns, ' and had become excessively weary, and his grasp became languid but here his nerves rallied at the unwonted sight, and he welcomed this motley crowd with a heartiness that made them wild with exceeding joy. They laughed and wept, and wept and laughed, exclaiming through their blind ing tears, God bless you ' God bless you, Abraham Lin coln ' God bress Massa Linkum ' We have not forgotten the sensation caused by the first sound from Sumter, when enthusiasm blazed high and bright; when bells rang out and flags waved, and the people rose as one man to cheer on the troops.

Excerpt from What's the Matter With America: The Meaning of the Progressive Movement and the Rise of the New Party There is a great deal going on to-day which savors of mystery and passes the comprehension of some men's minds. Whether we are reactionaries or radicals, whether we stand together on platitudes and conventions or unite in the free masonry of facts, we all feel that vast forces are at work in America which we do not entirely understand, and whose power and direction no one has been able to measure with accuracy. The American people, said a college president in a memorable baccalaureate address, is forever embarking with all sails set - for nowhere. Not long ago an Englishman, H.G. Wells, in his notes on America, said that in spite of the impressive and apparently resistless energy which he saw everywhere, he could find no trace of a national purpose, no evidence that our people were trying to make their country different or better than it was. Is this true? Are we a purposeless people, a nation of agitators enamored of strife and motion for its own sake? Is our agitation and motion merely rotary, or, through the length and breadth of our history, has it followed a definite purpose? And, above all, what is that purpose, and how are we seeking its accomplishment to-day? The world stands aside for those who know where they are going. At this time of great national change and pressure, it behooves every thoughtful American to ascertain for himself the meaning of the events which are happening around him. "Mr. President," said a young American in his speech to the Virginia Convention in 1775, "I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way to judge the future but by the past." But, unfortunately, the study of our past through books of American history rarely gives us more than a vague hint at the underlying causes of events, and altogether fails either to explain the present or throw light forward along the pathway of the future. Unfortunately, American histories have generally been written in the oak panelled libraries of more or less fossilized gentlemen, who are far removed from the stark realities of existence, and have little contact or sympathy with the problems, thoughts and impulses which have aroused our majorities to action, and have made or unmade nations.

Excerpt from State of the Union: Message From the President of the United States, on the State of the Union, January 16, 1833, Read, and Referred to to the Committee on the Judiciary In closing this communication, 1 should do injustice to my own feelings not to express my confident reliance upon the disposition of each department I of the Government to perform its duty, and to co-operate in all measures necessary in the present emergency. The crisis undoubtedly invokes the fidelity of the patriot and the sagacity of the statesman, not more in removing such portion of the public burthe'n j as may be necessary, than in preserving the good order of society, and in 1 the maintenance of well regulated liberty.

Excerpt from A Letter to the People of the United States, Upon the Propriety of Establishing an Annual National Jubilee, to Commemorate the Adoption of the Constitution of the United States No Constitution, however wisely framed, can produce any practical benefits, until the people for whose welfare it is ordained, learn the first lesson in Constitutional Govern ment, and that is that the majority must govern, or all free Constitutions must perish. F'or upwards of sixty years our Constitution has stood the test of peace and war, and has afforded more security for life, liberty and My; than any other Government which human foresight ever devised, or human wisdom ever enacted. Notwithstanding all these benefits, and all these blessings; we are told that there are men amongst us who would scatter to the winds this fair fabric of freedom, and trample in the dust that glorious star Spangled banner, which has so often waved victorious upon the land and floated triumphant upon the deep. When we look back, at the deplorable condition of the country, pre viously to the adoption of the Constitution, we are at a loss to comprehend, how it can have an enemy in the land. Let us calmly, but briefly review the state of public affairs, at that time. The Old Confederation had proved utterly unfit to carry on the government of the country. It was, in fact, but little more than a Treaty of Alliance, between Indepen dent States. It gave no power to Congress to levy or collect duties, or to impose taxes; but only the power to fix the proportion, which each State should contribute, for fence of the Country.

[loud applause] It is not the right of any man in these times to feel indifferent, or to say that the great crisis in which we now are is one that does not affect him, and in which he need take no concern. The questions now before the country are such as come home to the very bosom and business of every man, woman, and child, in this whole American com munity. The life of a nation is at stake.
