Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address to the People of Delaware, on the Approaching Presidential Election: Prepared in Obedience to a Resolution of the Convention of the Friends of the National Administration Assembled at Dover, on the Fifteenth Day of July, 1828 Fellow Citizens, The convention of the friends of the Administration of the General Government, composed of one hundred and fifty Delegates from the several counties, held at Dover on the 15th instant, appointed us to prepare and publish, in their name, an address to the people of this State. In the discharge of that important duty, we humbly implore that divine Goodness, which has so often and so signally favoured this happy nation, to remove from us all bitterness towards our opponents, to give us to speak, fearlessly, but temperatly, the language of truth, that if we be right and they be wrong, our bretheren may be drawn from the error of their ways, and be persuaded to unite with us in efforts for the good of our common Country. Blind devotion to men in power has never characterised the People of the United States. They do not require to have inculcated upon them die maxim that ´men feel power and forget right.´ The history of the sad misrule which, happily for us - happily for the world, - separated this Country from Great Britain, is too fresh in the recollection of Americans, for them easily to err by confiding too much in their public functionaries. Salutary confidence and trust in future intelligence and uprightness of purpose, which former good conduct invites and justifies, is all that can be claimed for men in their private or public lives. This is all that is asked of the people, by the friends of the present Administration of the General Government. But surely it cannot be proper, - every honest man, whether of this or that party, must say it is unjustifiable, - to form combinations to oppose measures as they rise, be they right or wrong. An attempt has been made to vindicate an indiscriminate opposition to the measures of the present Administration, upon the ground that Congress, when voting by States, did not choose the candidate who had the highest number of electoral votes. Congress elected the President in the manner the Constitution directs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
