. . . Young schol ars, young Americans, young men, we are all called upon to do a great duty. Nobody is released from it. It is a work to be done by hard strokes and everywhere. I see a rising enthusiasm, but enthusiasm is not an election ; and I hear cheers from the heart, but cheers are not voters. Every man must labor with his neighbor in the street, at the plough, at the bench, early and late, at home and abroad. Gener ally, we are concerned in elections with the measures of gov ernment. Th...is time it is with the essential principle of government itself. " This finished oration suffers much by detached quotation. Read as a whole, one sees the argument unfolding, and is led on step by step to the point where the scholar is made to see that he would be recreant to his high calling if he did not vote and work for Fremont. It had a wide circulation, 1 and to college men, and men who read much, it spoke with mighty accents. The sincere and cultured orator had an earnest purpose ; he looked upon politics from a lofty plane.
