Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Remarks on the Governor´s Speech But such is the state of things at present, that the second of these points no longer requires a formal argument in its support. The project of separation is openly avowed. The Newspapers are full of it. The Senate chamber and the House of Representatives have rung with this treasonable note. It is even intimated in the Governor´s speech. No veil is now drawn over it, but the flimsy disguise that it is sought as a means by which to obtain relief from oppression, and not as an end desirable for its own sake. In this state of the argument, therefore, it is only necessary to prove, that the grievances complained of do not exist or are grossly exaggerated, and the point is established. For since the project of separation, so often denied and concealed is now avowed, it is only required to shew the fallacy of the pretences brought forward to justify it, and it then stands in its naked deformity, as the object which it is really intended to effect. These pretences are the common grounds of complaint, that are brought against the Government, such as the injustice and inexpediency of the war, the embargo, and French influence. We have, therefore, confined our observations principally to these topics; and having, as far as lay in our power, proved the futility of these accusations, we have considered ourselves authorized to draw the conclusion, which has just been said to follow. It is obvious that this conclusion is made still more probable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
