Sobre este item
Whitesboro, N.Y.: press of the Oneida Institute, 1842. First edition, 12mo, pp.120; removed from binding, wrappers wanting; light toning; very good. At the top of the title page: "Christian Investigator. - No. 8. Whitesboro, N.Y., September 1842." Goodell (1792-1878) was an abolitionist and helped found the New-York Anti-Slavery Society, as well as the American Anti-Slavery Society. His arguement was 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." American Imprints 2041; Bartlett, p. 94; Sabin 27848; Parks 396: "Includes historical background of Dorr Rebellion."
