Excerpt from Oration: Delivered on the Seventy-Sixth Anniversary of the Declaration of the Independence of the United States, July 4, 1851, in the Senate Chamber of the Capitol at AnnapolisFor the first time in the annals of nations the highest intellect was arrayed against despotic power. From that period may be dated the true expositions of the principles of government, - the correlative duties of the rulers and the ruled, and the annuncia tion of the fact that all exercise of legiti mate authority should be for the greatest good of the greatest numbers, and beside this, all else was usurpation and abuse.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
