Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Purposes of the Republican Party Hurtful to the Rights and Interests of the People, and Most So to Those of the North
Here, then, we find the sources of the evils and abuses which af?ict our General Government, and through it the people of this country. Until within the past twenty years, the Executive, the Legislative, the Judicial Departments, gave honest construction to the Constitution. They did not seek to usurp power by strained definition. They sought to carry out its spirit. They did not summon crowds of men with schemes, who were pushing, right fully or wrongfully, to get at the public treasury, by calling this a Nation, and teaching the false doctrine that we should follow the usages of other and not the constitutional law of our own Government.
