Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Northern Grievances: Set Forth in a Letter to James Madison Sir, When an enlightened and republican people, who formerly could boast of the enjoyment of prosperity and freedom, the office of Chief Magistrate polluted by corruption, and disgraced by a series of acts which dishonour the country over which he presides, an endeavour to induce him to abandon a system of oppression and injustice, and guard his mind against the gratification of the dictates of rancorous malice, is a necessary, but honourable duty. Your character and conduct as President of the United States, as leader, representative, and organ of the War party, induce me to address myself to you with a glimmering hope, that a view of the dangers which you have wilfully brought upon your country, and a developement of the consequences to which they lead, may afford the people of the Eastern States speedy relief from the iron features of domestic tyranny. This, it must be confessed, to a cold and unfeeling mind, dead to the principles of honor and justice, and darkened by the absence of every spark of liberality and candor, can only be expected by alarming its fears, instead of appealing to its sense of duty. The whole extent of your situation must be laid before you, without disguise or palliation, that blind sophistry, insatiate lust of sectional and personal aggrandizement, and subserviency to the French Tyrant, may no longer entice you into a perseverance of measures, which, if not abandoned, will be crushed by the vigorous energy of an indignant people. You mistake! The Eastern States are not yet prepared for an insidious Despot; they are not yet ripe for the chains of servitude; they will not calmly, and without a struggle, renounce their birth-right, and surrender their liberties. Beware of rousing the slumbering lion! A free people are bold and generous. Their confidence in their public servant is sincere till their vigilant jealousy detects hostile depravity. They at least took for integrity and zeal, if not capacity and talents, from men intrusted with their most important offices.
