About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1868.

Even at this early period, lawless malcontents were busily engaged in stirring up strife, and designing demagogues were endeavoring to arouse the worst passions of the people. Spirits as subtle as that of Cade or Danton, were marshaling the hosts of a sectional party beneath the black flag of abolition, and denouncing our noble constitution, the great bulwark of civil and religious liberty, as a " covenant with death and a league with hell." Distinguished political adventurers, thoroughly imbued with the vile spirit of fanaticism, determined to rule or ruin, were like Sampson, blindly attempting to pull down our magnificent structure of freedom, unmindful of the millions who would be crushed beneath its falling arches. But notwithstanding all ...
