Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Oration Delivered by the Hon. Caleb Cushing, of Massachusetts: Before the Tammany Society, or Columbian Order, at Tammany Hall, on Monday, July 5th, 1858
Which, of all these dazzling objects, these reminiscences and premo ultions of glory, as they pass along the lucid chambers of the intellectual vision - which shall the will of the orator call forth, if he may, and arrest for present contemplation - which shall he endeavor to embody in epic words, to wake anew to-day the echoes of Tammany Hall?
What human lips, indeed, are worthy ofthe sublimity of such a theme It is Our Country, which on this day looms up in thought before us, with all the infinite ideas of past, of present, and of future glory, incarnated, as it were, in that great figure. Our Country! It should be the footsteps of a celestial messenger to conduct us from bright point to bright point in the pathway of her fame, that resplendent pathway.
