Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letter of George W. Hopkins, of Russell, to Col. James H. Piper, of Wythe City of Washington, March 16, 1840. Col. Jas. H. Piper: My Dear Sir - Your letter, which solicits the expression of my opinions about the great political parties that agitate the country, was lately received. Our private and political relations; my respect for your character and honorable intentions; and my aversion to conceal any opinions that my constituents may desire to know, all induce me, with promptitude and frankness, to satisfy your desire, and to assign, as I shall now proceed to do, some of the prominent reasons which persuade me to support the present administration of the General Government. Since I had the honor to serve in the Congress of the United States I have honestly endeavored to sustain those great public principles only, which the Constitution sanctions, and which Jefferson and his coadjutors in politics made practically prevalent among us. And while every day´s experience confirms the wisdom and utility of those opinions, I am not aware that there is any public action of my life which indicates a departure from them. If, on any of the memorable measures of public policy which vexed the public mind, I have differed from my political brethren, it was from a dutiful solicitude to preserve unimpaired that proud fabric of civil liberty which was reared and consecrated by the unshaken constancy of our greatest and purest men. The Conservative party, in the United States, was avowedly formed for the maintenance of our constitutional principles. And in the hope and expectation to preserve, not to defeat these principles, I became a member of it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
