Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cape of Good Hope: Government and Legislature Considered A preface to the subjoined Pamphlet is only needed as a thread to bind together the different facts, assertions, and opinions therein contained; and to exhibit from a connected view of them the necessity of such a publication as the "Cape Monitor," from which they are extracted. During the Anti-Convict agitation at the Cape, the local Press was the most absolute tyranny which ever attempted to gag a fair expression of opinion. Printers were censors, and the power of a veto on any article seemed to lie with the compositor. The only Editor, in Cape Town, who at the time attempted to express an opinion contrary to the leaders of the agitation, received notice from his printer that he could not print such articles; and the Editor in question was compelled with much risk and inconvenience to purchase type and press for his own use. Up to this period, contradictions to assertions, boldly and unblushingly made in the columns of the ultra papers, were refused insertion; although the most violent and unconstitutional articles, teeming with abuse of those in authority, were put forth as if they expressed the general opinion.
