Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Voice From the Motherland: Answering Mrs. H. Beecher Stowe's Appeal
Dating principally from the elections to the presidency of Jackson and Van Buren. With Jackson's contest began the disgraceful practice of changing, not political appointments merely, but every oficial of every kind paid by the Government with each change of President. It would be super?uous to dilate upon the wholesale corruption caused by such a system - appa rently devised expressly to destroy every vestige of honesty and patriotism in the electors and governing classes.
