Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings at the Banquet of the Jackson Democratic Association, Washington, Eighth of January, 1852, Vol. 8
Oh, indeed, gentlemen, it is not my humble presence here which elicited that majestic interest for national law and international rights. No; my very being here is but a consequence of the preexistence of this interest. It has raised glorious interpreters during the struggles of Greece, when, indeed, I was yet too young to be in public life. It ?ashed up, kindled at the mag netic spark of Poland's heroic struggles, and it blazed high and broad when we were fighting the sacred battle of independence for the European continent. -had this interest and sympathy not existed long ago, I were not now here. My very freedom is the result of it.
