An Appeal for the Constitution: Theory and Practice of the Government (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
American citizen. The eminent Fisher A mes, who, perhaps, more than any other person, suggested the terms and conditions of the Federal Union, speaking of American affairs, says :T he events have been so interesting and so rapid, that the public mind has been confounded by the magnitude and oppressed by the variety of the reflections which result from them. This language is strictly ajiplicable to the present condition of public affairs. He adds with equal force, that experience which makes individuals wise, sometimes makea ]3ublic mad. Whether this sentiment has found its verification in the events of the day or not, it is clearly the duty of thinking men, to examine, with candor and fairness, the policy and measures of the government. Whatever differences of opinion there may be touching the propriety of its course, there can be none about the existence of great public evils. In the discussion of the subject, all pre-conceived opinions, and all past political influences, should be discarded. This is made the more necessary, because, in my judgment, the manifold difficulties, in which we are involved, spring, in a great degree, from purely partisan sources. I gnorance, ambition and selfishness, lay at the very foundation of all our troubles. They have not only occupied the entire political field, but have so polluted the very atmosphere of government, that men of high intellect and patriotism could not be induced to breathe it. This condition of things could hardly end in anything but evil, and that we now have in its most aggravated form. I am no partisan in the unhappy war which now devastates the country. My allegiance has been freely given, as I trust it ever will be given, to the government of the federal Constitution. It is not a blind devotion to a name, an emblem or a form.
