Excerpt from Our Little Monarchy: Who Runs It, and What It CostsThe experience of a year has also proved that all the clamor raised by these bold, bad men against our old municipal govern ment, and the way it was administered, was for the purpose of practising a deception on Congress, and getting a government they could so manage, under a pretence of improvements, as to parcel contracts out among themselves and fill their own pock ets.

Excerpt from Manuel Pereira, Or the Sovereign Rule of South Carolina: With Views of Southern LawsWhen we are called upon to support laws founded in domestic fear, that infringe upon the rights of foreign citizens, and are made subservient to various grades of mendacity, it becomes our duty to localise the stigma, and point out the Odium which attaches to the State that enacts them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousa...
