First sentence: WE are met together to discuss the State-that society which in infinite variety, from mere specks of social inception, to empires of large extent and long tradition, covers the whole earth wherever human beings have their habitation-that society which more than any other in identified, as cause and as effect, with the rise and fall of civilization-that society which, at this very period of mingled progress and relapse, of bravery and frivolity, occupies the mind of our whole advancing race, and which is the worthiest subject of contemplation for men, who do not merely adhere to instinctive liberty, but desire to be active and upright partakers of conscious civil freedom.
