Book Description
Excerpt from Niles' Weekly Register, Vol. 33: Containing Political, Historical, Geographical, Scientifical, Statistical, Economical, and Biographical Documents, Essays and Facts; From September, 1827, to March, 1828 We must feel these things. We do not exactly rint pay it is certain that we coul not print, - no more than t e lawyer plead for the lpreserva tion of property, the doctor prescribe for the iealing of the sick, or the parson make it a business to prepare us for the w orld to come. And in this matter we are com pelled to say, and we say it more in sorrow than in an ger, that, though we think that we could not be bought into the support of measures which our judgment did not approve, we have not been sustained as we ought by those whose interests are, (in the first place), most advanced by the successful establishment of those principles which we have believed indispensably necessary to the well-be ing of our country, and for which we have so long and zea lously contended. And we will go further and make known an old and established 0 inion, that our perso nal interest would have been muc better promoted in the preservation of a cold silence as to those principles - per ha 3, have been yet more increased by opposing them. T e few warm-hearted and considerate friends, who have felt themselves called upon to help us because of our endeavors to help them, will not be offended by these remarks-they will only regret the existence of causes why they should be made, and exert themselves more in our behalf; and we have long needed their assistance, for there has been a constant pressure against us for ten years past, and it still continues. We have not, nor ever had, so many subscribers to the register in some of the states, as there are millions of dollars vested in those branches of industry for the advancement of which we have labored so faithfully - and with some success too, if we deserve an hundreth part of the voluntary praise which has been bestowed upon us. But here we shall stop. Our wishes are moderate, and it is time that we were 'com fortable. A little attention on the part of our subscribers will make us se - and a small degree of zeal to add to our circulation will enable us more and more to make this work useful. It would he unjust, however, not to observe, that, for a year or two past, the current in favor has been stronger than the current against us, and that we have gained considerably; and that the present receipt of one fourth part of what is outstanding, would be of grateful and essential service just now - and relieve us of all difficulties which beset us.
