Synopsis
Excerpt from Overton County: Delivered at Livingston, Tennessee, July 4th, 1876
Ladies and Gentlemen:
At a meeting of the citizens of Overton county, held at the court-house in Livingston, on the first Monday in May, 1876, the following, among other resolutions, was passed, viz.:
"Resolved, That A. V. Goodpasture be appointed and requested to deliver an address in Livingston, to the people of Overton county, on the 4th of July, 'embracing the entire history of the county,' as requested by a resolution of Congress, recently transmitted to our Governor by Secretary Fish."
In response to this resolution, I have done what I could to collect and arrange the early history of our county, and I appear before you to-day to give you the result of my labor.
This is not the centennial anniversary of our county, but of our republic and our system of government. Our experiment is a success! The Declaration of Independence, on the 4th of July, 1776, prepared the way for that magnificent edifice, whose durable groundwork is independence, and whose splendid superstructure is liberty. Under the sublime theory of self-government by the people, what was, one hundred years ago, thirteen English Colonies, upon the Atlantic border of a vast and unexplored wilderness, is now the thirty-eight United States of America, which stands peer to the greatest nations of the world. It is my pleasure, to-day, to speak of the part which Overton county has taken in that wonderful transformation.
