Sobre este item
[Whitesboro, NY]: Press of the Oneida Institute, 1842. 120pp. Disbound, lightly foxed, Good+. At head of title: "CHRISTIAN INVESTIGATOR.- NO. 8. WHITESBORO, N.Y., SEPTEMBER 1842."
Another printing, apparently otherwise identical to this one, has 'Whitesboro' in the imprint. Goodell, a legal utopian and founder of the American Anti-Slavery Society, argued that the Constitution had outlawed Slavery. Here he defends the Dorr Party in Rhode Island. "Civil and political liberty have been violently subverted in that State, and a military despotism enthroned on the ruins (though in the abused name) of constitutional 'law and order'. The PEOPLE-- the only lawful sovereign, under God, of a free civil government, have been overawed, and deposed, by aristocratic usurpation. The many, with right on their side, have been crushed by the comparatively few, on whose side there was wealth, and their rival Constitution."
Cohen 3285. AI 42-2041 [5]. Not in Marke or Harv. Law Cat.
