THE LITERARY CHARACTER
OF A GREAT STATE PAPER.

Dealing with the literary character OF
this great state paper, Mr.. Tyler gave
q most beautiful description Of that to
which he refers as "a stately and a
passionate chant OF human freedom. Mr..
Tyler said Had the Declaration Of
Independence been. what many a reyolu-
tionary State paper is, clumsy, YER
bose and yaporing production, not even
the robust literary taste and the ALL
forgiving patriotism OF the American
people could have endured the WEAKNESS,
the nausea Of hearing its repetition in
ten thousand different places, at least
once every year for 50 long Period
Nothing which has not supreme literary
merit has even triumphantly endured
such an ordeal Or ever been subjected
To if.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1901-07-04
THE TEMPTATION TO FORGET.

Mr.. Tyler then proceeded to show
that the intiuence Of this State
paper on the political character
and conduct of the American peo-
pie since the close of the Revolu-
tion has been great beyond all call
culation. He said:
For example after We had achieved
our own National deliverance, and had
advanced into that enormous and some
what corrupt material prosperity which
followed the adoption Of the Constitution,
the DEVELOPMENT of the cotton interests,
and the expansion Of the Republic into
a trans-c continental power, we fell as is
now most apparent, under an appalling
National tempfation-tIle temptation to
forget, or TO repudiate. or to refuse TO
apply to the case Of our human brethren
in bondage, the very principles which we
ourselves had cnce proclaimed as the
basis Of every rightful government, and
as the ultimate source of cur own claim
to an untranmcled National life.
