Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address to the Republican Citizens of the State of New-York Of a number of Republicans, from different parts of the State, to their Fellow-Citizens, on the alarming situation of our Country. The subscribers having communicated together on the critical and alarming situation of our country, consider it a solemn duty to promulgate their sentiments to their fellow-citizens, on the subject of the approaching election: and this duty is rendered the more impressive on some of us, because we have thought fit to decline our signatures to an address recently published by several of our Republican brethren of the Legislature; an address, however well intended, yet certainly not calculated to promote that union of sentiment and action among the citizens of this state, which is essential to redeem us from the perils that menace and the calamities which have befallen us. In all free countries parties will ∃ they necessarily arise from different views of public measures; and when confined within the bounds of moderation, they are calculated to awaken enquiry, to promote virtuous emulation, and to prevent the approaches of tyranny and oppression. When a person attaches himself to a party, he professes to act from a conviction that its principles and measures are conducive to the public good. As long as this object is kept steadily in view, and as long as party attachments are rendered subordinate to patriotic considerations, our course is undoubtedly proper and justifiable. But the misfortune is, that collisions of interest, and competitions of ambition, mingle themselves with our party preferences: our individual consequence is too often identified with the ascendancy of a political § and in cherishing the interests of a party, we are too apt to overlook the prosperity of our country. The most pernicious effect of party spirit, is its tendency to impair the strength and diminish the respectability of a state or nation, by opening a door for extrinsic intrigue and management. The truth of this remark is most forcibly exemplified in the past and present condition of this confederacy. While we are willing to yield every tribute of applause to the talents and virtues of Virginia; yet we can see nothing so pre-eminent in her faculties and endowments, as to entitle her to the controul of the Union.
