Description:Excerpt from The American Citizen: An Address Delivered by Hon. D. W. Voorhees, of Indiana, Before the Literary Societies of the University of Virginia, July 4th, 1860 We stand to-day in an august and venerable presence. The associations by which we are surrounded are connec ted with a great and unparallelled age. The scenes on which our cyds rest call up before the mind with vivid power, the early and the exalted days of the Republic. The soil on which we tread teems with classic memo ries. The sky that bends above us is the same that once drew the gaze of the philosophers of American liberty and American science. The barren mountains that sleep off yonder in the dim blue distance are fruitful and lux. Uriant in the bright and beautiful historical pictures which the youths of America, whether they be dwellers on the Aroostook or the Mississippi, have treasured away in their lessons taught by the wintry fireside. The rivers that encircle the eastern slope of a mighty continent, and that roll away from these plains to the ocean, mur mur a song of everlasting praise to the deeds of immor tal renown which were once enacted on their shores. All around us breathes the fame of grand and wonderful achievements. The very air is redolent of the rich odors of a short, though felicitous, blessed antiquity.
