Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Patton, of Virginia, on the Tariff Bill, and in Reply to a Speech of Mr. Adams, of Massachusetts: Delivered in the House of Representatives, February 5 and 7, 1833
It may suit the fancy of a poet to revel in the moral grandeur and sub limity of an idea of government which exists only in the imagination - the offspring of fiction; but, to my mind, there is something more grand and elevating in the contemplations of a statesman who admires the stability and dignity of a government resting upon the solid basis of truth and reality.
