Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the Loco-Foco or Equal Rights Party: Its Movements, Conventions and Proceedings, With Short Characteristic Sketches of Its Prominent Men The terms Loco-Foco and Loco-Focoism are so frequently used to designate a political party and its principles, without much being definitely known of those to whom they were first applied, that it has become necessary that their history should be written, not only as a work of interest in itself, but also as of some importance to the great party to which those terms have been transferred. The Author of this little work has been urged, for some years past, to write it, on the ground that no person was so well informed of the movements, principles, and men of the party, as he who was in it from the first, and was its Recording Secretary during nearly all the time of its independent existence. Thus urged, and being, withal, of the opinion that if he did not write it no other Loco-Foco would, and that such a work was necessary to our political literature, he began it in the summer of 1842, and, through many interruptions, completed it by the first of October following. This little book may be, not inaptly, called the Bible of the Loco-Focos; for it contains their Genesis, their Exodus, their Mosaic law, or declaration of principles, - their eventful history. By such estimable men as Moses Jaques, Pascal B. Smith, James L. Stratton, John M. Ferrier, A. D. Wilson, Robert Townsend, Jun., John Hecker, and many others described in these pages, was the Equal Rights party encouraged to have a deeper love for Christian Democratic principles, to seek more knowledge of them, and to find a more abiding faith in them.
