Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Vindication of the Character and Public Services of Andrew Jackson: In Reply to the Richmond Address, Signed by Chapman Johnson, and to Other Electioneering Calumnies The following is a most ably written and conclusive argument. It has not had, in that respect, its superior during the present canvass. We solicit for it the candid perusal of all men, who are willing to know the truth, and knowing it, to vindicate it against error or designed misrepresentation. No man has rendered more important services to his country, than Andrew Jackson. They have shed upon that country and upon his own name, imperishable glory. For these services, his country is grateful; and for them and his merits, for his republican character and attachments, and for his determination to bring into the councils, of the nation the old Democracy instead of the Federalism and Aristocracy which now govern us, his country will place the highest of her gifts within his hands. But these great services and deeds of devotion to the general welfare, and the perilous defence of his native soil, are the sources of envy in the minds of malignant partizans and bad-hearted men. They hate what they cannot imitate; and in nearly all cases they condemn now what they condemned during a war which they opposed, and the defenders and supporters of which they then vilified. Such men have filled the country with gross misrepresentations of the character and conduct of Gen Jackson. Every act of his life is gainsayed or perverted. No man, elevated and noble as has been his devotedness under great emergencies and in the most trying times, has been so much traduced. No man has been more foully slandered. The inmost recesses of his family, the honor of his wife, his domestic peace, - all have been invaded, to serve the purposes and prop up the hopes of a falling party - to sustain an administration, which coming into power without the consent of the people, seeks by such means to deceive that people into its support. Like Tompkins, he has been hunted down by his enemies and the enemies of his country. Not content with these assaults and calumnies upon the private character and domestic life of a venerable citizen, they attempt even to scandalize the country, and in the very language and manner of the pensioned writers of the British press, de predate the honors and underrate the victories of the nation. These calumnies have called out the following vindication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
