DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Bastille in America, or Democratic Absolutism: By Eye-Witness The constitutional government of the United States has become an absolute despotism within a shorter time than was ever before required to effect such a change in the political condition of any civilized people. Neces sity, long since denominated the tyrant's plea, which has so often before covered gradual encroachments upon liberty, has, Within the brief period of six months, been made the pretext for obliterating every vestige of freedom in the Northern States of America. Their constitution founded on the right of revolution, is set at nought by those who claim to be its especial champions, upon the ground that it is unfit for revolutionary times, or such periods of popular uprising as that to which it owed its birth. Its framers, who, very recently after its adoption, thought it wise to add seven other clauses for the proteo tion of private rights, little dreamed that any man could with impunity violate every one of these within six months after he had sworn to preserve, protect, and defend the whole. Yet the history of the last half-year records not only such a violation, but the success of a succeeding despotism, as complete as that of the most absolute govern ment. Within the above period, the writ of Habeas Corpus has been disregarded; letters have been Opened in the post office; freedom of the press destroyed; the right of free speech annihilated citizens and foreign residents charged.
