Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from True Democracy Contrasted With False Democracy: Or, Gen. L. Harrison´s Cause Vindicated The proudest man in all Cincinnati, Is Colonel Todd, in full-blown vanity; One would think he was the great Pope of Rome, - His pride and dignity are as marble stone. Or does he imitate a British Peer, And prove himself an aristocratic bear. As editor of the Republican, He assumes the Pontiff in Vatican; There fulminates his own and borrow´d news, And some have affirmed his party´s views. Diff´rence in party there is none´t is said, It consists only in a softer bed, - Better furniture, - and some say gold spoons, With more gold and silver coins, and doubloons. Be this as it may, great Colonel Todd, Imitate not so soon the demi god; Great Jupiter had no printer´s devils, But you have them in couples and in trebles; Therefore spare the feelings of human kind. I´ll leave you now to improve your mind. Learn, that vanity in this republic, Is of all things foolish, and will to you stick. It betrays in you far weaker head, Or that your braihs are pudding, or of lead, Neither of which should you make now appear, Lest you are call´d an aristocratic bear. The scale-beams of society are on the balance, - a fly may preponderate either way, - this work may be that fly. If so Gen´l. Harrison is sure of his election, as it portrays monarchy and aristocracy in Europe, as well as what ought to be the republican principles of America. The Executive Committe ordered 50 copies of this work, fifty thousand would not have been too many for America and Europe. The Executive Committee are not rich, - then why imitate pride or dignity of deportment, as if General Harrison was already in the Presidential Chair, and Col. Todd his principal Secretary of State? Be not too certain of success, - the dog who barks most bites least. It has been said that I write stronger than Daniel Webster - this I know nothing of. Every paragraph ought to carry conviction, as a cannon ball through the ranks of the opposite party. Convert as many as possible to true Democracy; - four horses in a team will do more work than two, when General Harrison is the driver of the State Wagon. The twentieth clause of the Sub-treasury bill is all that is required for the benefit of the people. With that one like a finger in the link of a chain, all the other links are Impotent. Contend not for that which is of no importance. Trifles overthrow an empire or republic, as well as an individual. The balance of parties still quivers in the wind, and vibrates like an aspen leaf on the tree of liberty, in this great republic. Be not too confident and all may be well.
