Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Review of the Case of the Free Bridge Between Boston and Charlestown The great interest, which has been excited, not only in this vicinity but in other parts of the state, by the late proposal of having a free bridge erected near the present toll bridge between Boston and Charlestown, was to have been expected in a community like ours; where a quick perception of constitutional rights, and a consequent jealousy of any measure which apparently threatens a violation of those rights, naturally make the case of any one individual the case of the whole community. The question is now probably put at rest, for some time, by the decisive course taken by His Excellency the Governor; who, in the discharge of his executive duty, felt obliged to refuse putting his signature to the law establishing the free bridge. This measure on the part of His Excellency, however people may differ upon the simple question itself, cannot but be approved by every reflecting man, who considers what is the duty of a Governor of Massachusetts, acting under the constitution of his own state; which marks out the rights and obligations of the executive, as well as of the legislative and judicial departments of the government, with all possible exactness, and which requires the Governor to do his duty, just as much as it does the Senate and House of Representatives respectively to discharge theirs, with honesty and impartiality. Hopeless, indeed, would be our prospect of the many blessings we have fondly anticipated from our excellent constitution, if either of the different branches of the government, and especially the Executive, the weakest of the three, is not to be cordially and efficiently supported in the independent, fearless and honest discharge of its duty against the erroneous opinions and decisions of the other branches.
