Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from At and Near the Capital, Vol. 1: Familiar Letters; Young American; American Who Is No Longer Young Some Foreshowing, in addition to that effected in the opening Letter seems to me dictated by entirely sound considerations. I was at the National Museum, this afternoon. The new inspection that I made of it at once enhanced my interest in what is undertaken in the Serial here opened, and gave greater depth and force to my determination not to fail for want of thoroughness in scrutiny in any way. It may be well to add, that the character and compass of the work are designed to be such that the largest as well as the minutest matters are to be presented with at least uncommon effort to advance good objects. Let me make a statement that I own to be quite perilous. The book is to do what it can for a correct conception of the Capital and the connected Land. The paramountness of the Nationality that is - whatever Washingtonians in general may think (or think they think) about the matter - in all parts and particles - in every jot and tittle - of the District of Columbia - is to be carefully set forth and earnestly insisted on, when I shall reach the subject in the body of this offering. The settled residents of Washington do not consult their real interests - they become hinderers of their own advancement - when they claim the Offices on a ground completely at discord with the Constitution and with the nature of things, as, quite demonstrably, is the ground, that the alleged "Home-Huiers" rather noisily assume. All talk or print about "Home Rule" at the Seat of Government of the United States is. I am very sure, much worse than waste of words. Another perilous but proper addition to the Foreshowing in Letter First, is this: Whether as to the Senate of the United States ; the Congress as an entirety; the Judiciary; the Accounting Officers; or other Official Beings; I shall in this book maintain, that the President is sacredly obliged to defend against diminution the discretion of his Public Trust. This means, of course, among other things, that I shall say, in substance, and try to prove, that as between the President of the United States, on the one hand, and the party of Senator Edmunds, on the other, the President is in the right. But it means more than this. It means that, according to the views to be here advocated, the President is, in all respects, obliged to stand for all the powers and discretions of his Place.
