Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Remarks on Popular Sovereignty: As Maintained and Denied Respectively by Judge Douglas, and Attorney-General Black The article by Judge Douglas, in the last September number of Harper´s Magazine, on "The Dividing Line between Federal and Local Authority," and the "Observations" on it by the Attorney-General of the United States, have given to the subject renewed and additional interest. The public mind is now, probably, more than at any preceding period, specially called to consider it as one which must soon be settled, if the peace of the country is to be restored and maintained. Participating in this impression, the writer of these remarks cannot be esteemed obtrusive if he states his own opinion, and, as briefly as perspicuity will permit, the reasons on which it rests. This, too, is undertaken in no party spirit, or through any prejudice, of which he is aware, to parties or persons. The question itself is of so much interest, is so closely connected with the continuing quiet and prosperity of the country, that it would be almost desecration to deal with it with other than national and patriotic motives. It is hoped that this will be remembered and regarded throughout the discussion. Such certainly is the wish and design of the writer. Nor will he refer, in regard to it, to any inconsistencies into which our statesmen, past or present, may have fallen. These prove nothing in support either of the opinion discarded or adopted. They only serve to subtract from each whatever of authority may belong to the name of its author. Nor do they impeach his integrity. Public virtue by no means consists of uniform consistency.
