Excerpt from Grant of Greeley? Speech of S. S: Cox, of New-York City, in the Issues of the Presidential Campaign of 1872 Gentlemen and Ladies: "Unhappy is that nation which can not redeem itself." This was the language of the eminent ex-Attorney-General Hoar, of Massachusetts, in bidding the Japanese, at Boston, take instruction from our land. It is just and philosophical. Happy shall Ave be if we are enabled this fall to follow not only his advice, but the sacred injunction: "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." Need I prove that we have fallen upon evil days, that our time needs redemption? I am not an indiscriminate praiser of the time past, even in our own history; but I admire the government, in its beautiful proportions and divisions, which our honored ancestry built. They built wiser than they knew. What other polity could have withstood the shock of civil conflict and the demoralization of administration since its termination? If one of the revered architects of our system could appear from his tomb, would he not point with more severity than did buried Denmark at the present rottenness in the State? Where is the old simplicity and purity? Are not the teachings of frugality of the great men of even a quarter of a century ago, habitually disregarded? The war is responsible for much reckless and unconscionable conduct. It is the canker which follows war. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
