Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Country: Its Peril and Its Deliverance From Advance Sheets of the Danville Quarterly Review, for March, 1861 I. The Spirit op Anarchy: Its Rise - Progress - Present State - Nature - Tendency. II. Grounds of Hope and Effort: Statement of the Facts, Principles, and Considerations, on which the Preservation of the Union depends. III. Negro Slavery: As the Cause or Occasion of Sedition, Anarchy, and Revolution - Considered in the light of our Civil and Political Institutions, - of the Law of Nature, - and of the Word of God. IV. Amicable Settlement: Statement of the Case - Relation of the North and the South to the Rendition of Fugitive Slaves, and to Slavery in the Territories, - Rights and Duties of both Parties, - Amicable Settlement as Simple and Equitable, as it is Wise and Patriotic. V. The Doctrine op Coercion: Its Abuse - Nature - Relation to the actual State of Affairs - The Power, Duty, and Responsibility of the General Government. I. 1. What we propose is, first, to make such a statement of the condition of affairs as may be of use to upright men, in enabling them to determine what ought to be attempted, and what can be accomplished, in the way of preventing the ruin of their country; and, secondly, to make clear to all men, the position of a vast party in this country, who desire and who deserve, in all possible events, to be understood by posterity - and who, even if their principles are now overborne and their counsels are now rejected, may, if they are faithful to themselves, retrieve from the wreck of their country, whatever survives when the period of exhaustion shall come upon its destructive madness. 2. There is no lesson which the universal course of human affairs teaches so thoroughly, as their own instability. And yet there is no lesson so hard for men to learn; no lesson so pregnant of results, and so little heeded. How faithful ought men to be when overtaken by defeat and adversity - if they would consider that defeat and adversity, with courage and wisdom, are a preparation for triumph?
