Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Argument of Joseph R. Ingersoll, Esq. Before the General Assembly of New Jersey on the Memorial of the Trenton and New Brunswick Turnpike Company, for the Amendment of Their Charter: February 19, 1834
A dexterous general sometimes hopes to gain his ends without a battle. Our antagonists have perhaps done wisely in shunning explanation, and thus casting themselves upon the generosity and ingenuity of the Legislature even for plausible arguments in their own behalf. Imagination may fancy for them a case which fact and reason could never frame. Be it so. It will be our part nevertheless to proceed onward in our honest course - to explain and uphold without reserve the merits and demerits of our cause - to argue it, imperfectly no doubt, but freely, and I trust not unkindly for our friends in ambush - our absent friends - as well as ourselves.
