  • Last Public Address

    —

    en

    We meet this evening, not in sorrow, but in gladness of heart. The evacuation of Petersburg and Richmond, and the surrender of the principal insurgent army, give hope of a righteous and speedy peace whose joyous expression can not be restrained. In the midst of this, however, He from whom all blessings flow, must not…

  • Farewell to The Army of Northern Virginia

    —

    en

    After four years of arduous service, marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources. I need not tell the survivors of so many hard-fought battles who have remained steadfast to the last that I have consented to this result from no distrust…

  • Second Inaugural Address

    —

    en

    Fellow Countrymen: At this second appearing to take the oath of the presidential office, there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement, somewhat in detail, of a course to be pursued, seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations…

    Al levantarme, señores Diputados, a usar la palabra en el día de hoy, me lisonjea la esperanza de que todo el Congreso comprenderá que lo hago en el cumplimiento de un deber indeclinable. No es voluntario en mí, señores Diputados, el usar en este instante de la palabra: lo habría sido si yo hubiera tomado…

  • La capitale del Regno

    —

    en

    L’Italia per aver voluto a parer mio troppo precipitare il corso degli eventi, e spingere agli estremi desideri immaturi, è giunta oggi al bivio: o di rientrare nelle vie d’una politica pratica e seria, o d’andare incontro ad un disastro economico d’incalcolabili conseguenze. Ricordiamoci che dalla questione finanze sempre nacque la salute come la rovina…

    Mexicanos: ¡Vosotros me habéis deseado! Vuestra noble Nación, por una mayoría espontánea me ha designado para velar de hoy en adelante sobre vuestros destinos! ¡Yo me entrego con alegría á este llamamiento! Por muy penoso que me haya sido decir adiós para siempre á mi país natal y á los míos, lo he hecho ya…

  • Les libertés nécessaires

    —

    en

    Pour moi, messieurs, il y a cinq conditions qui constituent ce que j’appelle le nécessaire en fait de liberté. La première est celle qui est destinée à assurer la sécurité du citoyen. Il faut que le citoyen repose tranquillement dans sa demeure, et parcoure toutes les parties du territoire sans être exposé à aucun acte…

  • American Civil War, the European situation and the conduct of Great Britain overseas

    —

    en

    It is to me, as your representative, a very happy and pleasant omen to find my arrival here greeted by so large an assemblage of my friends. It is not an unreasonable thing, – I think it is the least that can be expected from a Member of Parliament, that he should, once a year…
