Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Statement of the Frauds on the Elective Franchise in the City of New York, in the Fall of the Year 1838 and Spring of 1839
It will be seen, in the sequel, that the reproach and the ignominy which they strove to fix on me alone, should be shared by others who hold higher stations, and have more friends, more wealth, and more in?uence to sustain them, than myself; and though I ain aware that their participation will not screen me from the reproach I merit for the part I have performed, it will, at least, teach them that neither wealth, place, in?uence, or perjury, are safe guarantees against the exposure of guilt.
To the public I appeal, confessing and regrating my errors, and by their ver dict I must abide, be it for or against me.
