Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration, Delivered Before the Honorable the Corporation and the Military and Civic Societies of the City of Albany, on the Fourth of July, 1835, Vol. 7 This Oration is offered to the public as it was written; considerable portions of it having been omitted in the delivery on account of its length. There are two or three points in this Address which it had been my purpose to have explained and strengthened by elaborate notes in an appendix, as I deemed them points of great and growing interest and importance. But the publication has been pressed, and causes beyond my control have prevented the execution of my design. I can do little more now than state that these points relate chiefly to the true theory of the respective plans of government which are brought into comparison in the course of my remarks, and what really constitutes the difference and distinction between them. It has seemed to me that many illustrious men, and multitudes of honest ones, in this nation, have been misled, by the analogies that are found between certain of the outward forms of the two systems, affording strong temptation, on account of some apparent resemblances, to assimilate things which begin, continue and end in absolute contrast. Popular elections, and the exercise of legislative power by the representatives of the people, are among the analogous forms of proceeding in these diverse organizations. The President too, as the head of the executive branch with us, is naturally compared with the king in whom resides all the fulness of executive power, original, unabated, underived, except that a nominal dependence on the Governor of the universe is decently confessed.
