Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letter to a Whig Neighbor: On the Approaching State Election, by an Old Conservative My Good Friend: - Since the year 1848, you and I have voted with different parties. That has perhaps been the main difference between us. You have always said that you were as wide awake to the usurpations of the Slave Power as I was, and as heartily opposed to them. You have said - and I never doubted your honesty - that in your opinion the best way to resist them was to adhere to the Whig party, which, in Massachusetts at least, was always professing and promising so well. I did not think so, because I did not find that those professions and promises proved to be good for anything when the time for action came. So we have continued to differ, but we have respected each other, and have never quarrelled. After the Whig Convention at Worcester on the 2d of this month, I sat down to write out for you some of my thoughts respecting it. In its proceedings I found ample matter for indignant comment, and I wrote some sheets in that vein. But I throw them aside, and start afresh. As the election approaches, pregnant with such momentous issues, I find myself in no mood for that sort of comment. I dismiss, as far as possible, the thought of men, and of their follies, calumnies, and tricks, and address myself solely and calmly to the public question which is pending. A little recapitulation is necessary, to show how it stands. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
