Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Letter From the Hon. Timothy Pickering, a Senator of the United States, From the State of Massachusetts: Exhibiting to His Contituents, a View of the Imminent Danger, of an Unnecessary and Ruinous War, Addressed to His Excellency James Sullivan, Governor of the Said State City of Washington, February 16, 1808. Sir, In the even current of ordinary times, an address from a Senator in Congress to his constituents might be dispensed with. In such times, the proceedings of the Executive and Legislature of the United States, exhibited in their public acts, might be sufficient. But the present singular condition of our country, when its most interesting concerns, wrapt upon mystery, excite universal alarm, requires me to be no longer silent. Perhaps I am liable to censure, at such a crisis, for not sooner presenting, to you and them, such a view of our national affairs as my official situation has placed in my power. I now address it to you, Sir, as the proper organ of communication to the legislature. The attainment of truth is ever desirable: and I cannot permit myself to doubt that the statement I now make must be acceptable to all who have an agency in directing the affairs, and who are guardians of the interests of our Commonwealth, which so materially depend on the measures of the Government of the Nation. At the same time, I am aware of the jealousy with which, in these unhappy days of party dissensions, my communications may, by some of my constituents, be received. Of this I will not complain: while I earnestly wish the same jealousy to be extended towards all public men. Yet I may claim some share of attention and credit - that share which is due to the man who defies the world to point, in the whole course of a long and public life, at one instance of deception, at a single departure from Truth.
