Opis

Excerpt from An Oration on the Life, Character and Public Services of the Late President James K. Polk: Delivered at Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, October 8, 1849 Fellow-Citizens: - A imposition has ever been shown by the enlightened portion of mankind to honor the memory of those who while living were eminent for genius and learning united with great moral worth and devoted to their country's service and the advancement of the well-being and happiness of their fellow-men. When it is made known that such an one, having laid aside what is mortal, has put on immortality, a consciousness of the bereavement they have sustained spreads a gloom over the minds of his countrymen; they feel that a benefactor, a friend has been taken from them; that a link is broken in the great chain which united them with the past - a tie severed which no gratitude or affection however ardent can ever restore. Their thoughts dwell on the character and conduct of the deceased, and as each noble trait and each meritorious and honorable action that distinguished his career, presents itself to their minds, their tenderest sensibilities are awakened, a chord in their bosoms is touched which vibrates to the most generous impulses of their nature, and an irresistible desire is felt to give some outward manifestation of the painful emotions their bereavement has occasioned.
