Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Examination of the Various Charges Exhibited Against Aaron Burr, Esq.: Vice-President of the United States; And a Development of the Characters and Views of His Political Opponents Though I may exhibit no brilliant testimonial of an active genius, or fail to please by the splendid effusions of a lively fancy, something like conviction may be produced, by an examination of fads, in plain and intelligible language. To those who are at a distance from the field of controversy it will be impossible to convey a distinct understanding of the causes that have produced divisions among us, without leading their attention back to circumstances and fads anterior to the election, which raised Mr. Burr to the vice-president. In tracing the evils that afflict us to their source, we may meet perhaps with the causes that have, produced them. By uncovering the secret springs that have moved to action our jealous statesmen, and disclosing the ambitious views of opposing interests, we may develope the mysterious inconsistencies that have occasionally marked our political career, and explain the questions that now divide the republican interest. Although these points have already been the subject of discussion, there is something so useful in recurring to transactions intimately connected with the present controversy, that I hope occasional repetitions will be received without censure. If in my progress I should digress into the examination of individual characters, who have rendered themselves conspicuous by their conduct upon this occasion,´ I trail it will be pardoned. A knowledge of the men who have instituted this enquiry into the political conduct of the vice president, will tend directly to explain their motives. Among the evils incident to free governments, none are more to be feared than the virulence of party spirit, and the violence of political animosities.
