Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Peace Justice Economy A representative democracy, where suffrage is universal, must always be controlled by public opinion. The only authoritative and. final announcement of public opinion is from and through the ballot-box. To prepare for this conclusion, to give it authority and render it as intelligent and accurate as human infirmity, passion, and prejudice will permit, it is our habit, before election, for each party to present fully to the people its policy. This should embrace its principles, with the ways and means by which they are to be executed and carried into effect. Mutual investigation and criticism by each party of the policy and principles of the other is a necessity of our system and form of government. This is well. You would not have it otherwise, for by this method the attention of the people is constantly fixed, not only upon parties, but upon individuals in authority, who are exercising the powers incident to administration; and parties and individuals are thus admonished that the approbation or condemnation of the sovereign people awaits them, according to the approval or disapproval of the policy of parties by the people. It is necessary, therefore, that we have parties and discussions, and that the conflicts of parties be finally adjudicated and decided by the sovereigns of the nation; and woe to them who rebel against such decision, no matter whether slaveholder or philanthropist, for such rebellion is treason, and such parties are traitors; and none can pardon fully and entirely except the people, who have been offended. The absolution of the people is as indispensable to remove the bloody guilt of traitors and their accessories as the waters of Jordan were to heal the leprosy of Naaman; and let it, therefore, be said to them, "Go and wash" in this fountain "seven times," if you will, "and thou shalt be clean." In addressing the citizens of Erie County to night, I do not deem it a work of supererogation to refer to the history of the great ideas and principles which have formed the issues between political parties for the past years.
