An Oration Delivered In Independence Square PDF Download

Excerpt from Oration Delivered Before the Democracy of the City and County of Philadelphia, in Independence Square, July 4th, 1856 There are a few Spots about the earth, some separated by seas and distant thousands of leagues from others, which the voice of the world has proclaimed holy, and around which the memories of mankind will cling with everlasting reverence. Such is Sinai, where God proclaimed to man the rules of human action. Such, too, is Calvary, where, amid the darkness of the sun, the rocking of the earth, and the rising of the dead, the Saviour died, even as the portals of heaven opened.
