Excerpt from Grant of Greeley? Speech of S. S: Cox, of New-York City, in the Issues of the Presidential Campaign of 1872 But I am done with sentiment. I have no repining at our present condition. As a party, accepting the clasp of honest men of another party, we become with them a cohort, which dares to progress and change. The very sun itself, the source of light and heat, is chang ing even the hues of its light. Ever consuming, ever relumining, its substances are in perpetual change. The analysis of stars by the spectroscope, the processes of star-gauging and star motions, show that there may be a diminution or increase to the great fire and lamp of our system through the lapse of time. So it is with parties and Opinions. The orb of our political system may undergo mutation and temporary eclipse, but it remains to us still, and under better conditions. It is strengthened and brightened even by the changes it undergoes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
