Excerpt from The Declaration of Independence: A Poem Commemorating the One Hundredth Anniversary of the National Birth-Day of the United States of America The Author offers to the public a Poem celebrating the birth of the American Republic, and the subsequent progress of the United States during the first Century of its existence. This production may be variously characterized. It is a portrait gallery of illustrious personages. It is a panorama of great historical scenes and events. It abounds with descriptive touches and allusions to natural scenery in all parts of the United States, from the Lakes to the Gulf, and from Ocean to Ocean. It is a repository of moral ideas and political principles underlying and pervading the fabric of our goverment, and the social organization of our people. It is a gospel of peace, unity, and fraternity, preached in this Centennial year of our national life, and invoking the cultivation of concord, friendship, and good will between all parts and sections of our common country. It is a prophecy of continued growth and increasing prosperity in time to come. It is a psalm of praise to the great and good Being, to whom we are indebted for past progress, and on whom we are dependent for future advancement.
