Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Answer of the Whig Members of the Legislature of Massachusetts: Constituting a Majority of Both Branches, to the Address of His Excellency Marcus Morton, Delivered in the Convention of the Two Houses, January 22, 1840 May it please your Excellency, The Whig Majority of the Legislature of Massachusetts, listened with regret and disappointment to your Excellency´s Inaugural Address to the Convention of the two Houses; - regret, that sentiments which had before been used as the mere stratagems of party, should now be heard from the Chair of State, - and disappointment, that they should have proceeded from one, whose dignified and impartial conduct in another high office seemed a pledge of a more independent course. In reading the Address more deliberately, our regret increased, and our disappointment became surprise, until, upon mature reflection, we have felt it our duty to make to it a Public Answer. This we should have done, according to the time-honored custom of our Fathers, in the name and with the authority of the Legislature, but for the conviction that the Minority, who support your Excellency in the two Branches, would have insisted upon a protracted debate, at great expense to the Commonwealth, but which your Excellency will perceive, by counting the names subscribed to this Answer, would have been wholly unavailing. More desirous of saving the money of the people than of talking long and loudly about economy, we have readily yielded to that consideration the advantage of giving to this Reply, in form, the authority which really belongs to it, as the Answer of the Legislature to the Address of the Executive. Your Excellency at the commencement of the Address, after announcing yourself as the ´Supreme Executive Magistrate,´ - a title which, though authorized by the Constitution, has heretofore been waived for the more simple one of ´Chief Magistrate,´ - proceeds to characterize the ´purpose´ of those, by whose ´unsought suffrages´ you have at length attained to that dignity, after having been for fifteen years an unsuccessful candidate.
