Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Plea for Liberty of Conscience, and Personal Freedom From Military Conscription: In Letters to Thomas Loring, Esq. In addressing Letters to you, Sir, I have endeavored to fulfill the duty that I voluntarily took upon myself, some time since, in the very short interview that took place between us; when, on your asking of me what were my views on the question of excusing from Military Service those persons who could not conscientiously do such duties, I replied, that as my views on the subject were somewhat different from the most commonly received opinions, I would endeavor, if I could find opportunity, to write out my mind thereon; and, also, on the subject of having in the State none other than a Volunteer Military Corps, to be paid for their services. But, in addressing these Letters to you, Sir, I am far from supposing that you favor the views that I have here expressed, excepting on the rights of conscience, which you hold sacred, as you have shown by your noble and praiseworthy defence thereof, made in the Legislature of the State, at its session of 1839; for which you have my grateful regard. The Letters are of greater length than I had supposed would be necessary, to illustrate my views with argument, on these subjects. A better tact at writing, would have enabled me to make them much shorter; but, as I could apply no more talent to the work than what I possessed, I shall submit them to you, Sir, to make such use of them as you may deem proper; hoping that they will not meet with sudden destruction, nor any, until the sentiments they contain shall be more generally known; and, as far as they may be right, acknowledged.
