Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oration Delivered by Edwin Forrest, on the Fourth of July, in New York, 1838 But how pitiful - how worse than pitiful, the wretched aim of those. Who gloat over these rare and transient ebullitions of tumultuous rage as supplying an argument against the adequacy and benign effects of democratic government! Have these revilers of the principle of liberty read the lessons taught b the history of the past; or have they considere the forceful admonitions with which the present state of the other empires of the world is fraught? If the mild spirit of equal laws, which derive their sanction immediately from those whom they affect, cannot wholly sub due the stormy passions of man, Will they explain what better form of political institutions has ac complished that result?
