Excerpt from An Oration, Delivered Before the Democrats of Washington County, at Montpelier, on the 4th of July, 1839
W'hat have we gained, it'we have but exchanged an aristocracy of land-holders for an aristocracy ofstock-holders? What have we not lost, if we have exchanged for the ascendancy ofa chivalrous 8l educated nobility, the ascendancy of heartless and soulless legal existences, which have no notions of right and wrong, and which have no sensibilities to be touched, citherin their bosoms or on their backs.
