Excerpt from The Sons of the Sires: A History of the Rise, Progress, and Destiny of the American Party, and Its Probable Influence on the Next Presidential Election, to Which Is Added a Review of the Letter of the Hon. Henry A. Wise, Against the Know-Nothings
Human destiny, whether contemplated as it relates to the individual or the race, is among the most exalted themes that can engage the intellect of man. Sublime in its mysteries, commanding in its interests, and gathering about its issues the grandeurs of futurity, it constitutes a subject eminently worthy of profound inquiry. The theme diminishes not in interest when circumscribed by the limits of a nation"s history - but rather acquires intensity from the personal connection which the humblest member of a great commonwealth has with its humiliation or glory. Humanity nowhere offers more varied or interesting aspects than in our American Republic.
