Letters on the American Republic, Or Common Fallacies and Monstrous Errors Refuted and Exposed (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Letters on the American Republic, or Common Fallacies and Monstrous Errors Refuted and Exposed

West Indies but the above would-be philanthropists not only contemplate insurrectionary scenes on the slave plantations with firmness, but feast their eyes on them with fiendish delight, and are now jubilant over the work of massacre and blood, which has been inaugurated in the south by stirring up revolt amongst the slaves against their former masters Everything, however, must have an end, even the present terrible war with its mask to cover up ulterior designs and mock philanthropy; and when it comes to a close it will be the wonder of the age, where the strength of the war party could ever have lain, just as in France, after the fall of Robespierre, people asked each other who could have been the Jacobins? And when the names of William Lloyd Garrison, Dr. Cheever, M D. Conway, Henry Ward Beecher, and Mrs. Stowe are given, how they will call forth the derisive cheers and convulsive laughter of mankind; but I must not forget that on this day everything is coleur de rose in America - that the whole nation is covered with the blaze of heroism and glory. But what a change in the three last fourths of July to those which preceded them; how different their cele bration; and how unenviable the feelings of those who can look upon the struggle now going on in the freest nation in the world so-called, with approbation or delight.
