Excerpt from The Lesson of '76 to the Men of '56: An Oration Delivered Before the Municipal Authorities of the City of Boston, at the Celebration of the Eightieth Anniversary of American Independence July 4, 1856And now, while the garments of the genius of the republic are trailing along draggled and bespattered, and her eyes are so full of tears that she can hardly see that road of empire on which she has been travelling for seventy-three years with such stately impetuosity, men are every where asking What shall we do? This question I think the thoughts of today may well be asked to answer.
