Charles O'Connor (search for this): chapter 28
Mr. Bancroft on the Declaration of Independence. Mr. Rufus Choate, deceased, has left upon record his opinion, that the ethics of the Declaration of Independence are merely glittering generalities. Mr. Caleb Cushing, muzzy and mazy as he is, in thought and expression, has contrived to assert, with tolerable clearness, that in his opinion all men are not born free and equal. Mr. Charles O'Connor is of the same mind. So in his day was Mr. John C. Calhoun. Of course there is nothing to be astonished at in this resort to arrogant paradox. These gentlemen living or dead, having determined beforehand to defend a bad system, could begin the work in no other way than by ignoring the axioms of the Revolution. Not until the broad humanity of the Declaration had been explained, philosophized and sophisticated to mere nothingness, or to something sadder, were these traitors to universal humanity able to repeat, without blushing, sentiments too revolting to be suddenly and nakedly promul

Mr. Bancroft on the Declaration of Independence. Mr. Rufus Choate, deceased, has left upon record his opid it, but we are happy to have the opinion of Mr. George Bancroft, the best known of our historians, that the Don was not a tissue of glittering generalities. Mr. Bancroft contradicts the late Mr. Rufus Choate point blaniously responsive to those of that advocate; for Mr. Bancroft says distinctly that the Declaration avoided speing their virtuous horror when they read what Mr. George Bancroft has written. The bill of rights which it (i.al justice that is anterior to the State. But Mr. Bancroft goes still further; nor can we forbear the pleashe glad tidings and their universal application, Mr. Bancroft says: The astonished nations as they read that aly-remembered accents of their mother tongue. Mr. Bancroft, it will be seen, does not speak with the fashio distinctions — it is plea it to find a man like Mr. Bancroft adhering to a sensible and simple construction o

His political philosophy makes the circuit of the world --his political morality is applied to the entire world of mankind, and all coming generations, without any exceptions whatever. After Mr. Cushing's pilferings from encyclopedias and stereotyped nonsense about white and black and yellow races — after the intolerable conceit, ignorance and inhumanity of his imitators — after the inconclusive conclusions of text-twisting and text-splitting

We did not need it, but we are happy to have the opinion of Mr. George Bancroft, the best known of our historians, that the Declaration was not a tissue of glittering generalities. Mr. Bancroft contradicts the late Mr. Rufus Choate point blank, and in words which are curiously responsive to those of that advocate; for Mr. Bancroft says distinctly that the Declaration avoided specious and vague generalities.

the cheap defenses of ethnological sciolism. His political philosophy makes the circuit of the world --his political morality is applied to the entire world of mankind, and all coming generations, without any exceptions whatever. After Mr. Cushing's pilferings from encyclopedias and stereotyped nonsense about white and black and yellow races — after the intolerable conceit, ignorance and inhumanity of his imitators — after the inconclusive conclusions of text-twisting and text-splitting doctors of divinity — after the ignoble efforts of fools and of knaves to extenuate a moral wrong by appeals to physical distinctions — it is plea it to find a man like Mr. Bancroft adhering to a sensible and simple construction of the axioms and adages of honest and fearless Republicanism. These trimmers — these torturers of plain words, of plain morality into tenth century sophistications have now their answer, and they have it from a very high, if not from the highest quarter.
