Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Political Reflections, Delivered on Springfield-Hill, Massachusetts, March 4th 1829, in Commemoration of the Inauguration of Gen.: Andrew Jackson as President of the United States Americans: The limits to which I am restricted, will only permit an outline. To fill that outline, will be left to my Audience. When, gentlemen, the few acquired the right of dictating the law to the many - I will not pretend to determine. (I have not had access to their "archives") How their right commenced, - is easily conjectured. The boast of Archimides will furnish us a clue to the explanation of the mystery, "Give me," said the Sicilian geometer, "a place to plant my machinery, and I will heave the world from its orbit." The few, gentlemen, had discovered a superior "machinery," long before Archimides astonished the world with the results of his mechanical abilities. To the genius of the few, we owe the invention of "Tartarus and Elysium." With the terrors of the first - they fettered their victims ; and with the joys of the last - consoled them for the loss of liberty here, with the promise of it, hereafter. Do you ask - what gave rise to the vast conception? The answer is easy; - a desire to enjoy the benefits of society, without its burthens.
