About this Item

First edition, 8vo, pp. 120; original printed green wrappers; very light chipping, minor foxing; very good. At the head of the title: "Christian Investigator. - No. 8. Whitesboro, N.Y., September 1842." "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" (p. 3).
