Excerpt from Rise and Reign of the Bourbon OligarchyIs this a government of free men? Is there not such a thing as the sovereignty of the people and the nationality of the Citizen? It is said by the patriotic orator upon the national forum that this land is not a despotism governed by a king, but a republic in which every citizen is a sovereign. What citizen has the right, then, to deny to another a right he demands for himself? The ballot is the scepter of our sovereign citizens' kingly authority. It is the source of our governing power. To strike down the ballot, therefore, is to strike a blow at America's only king. It is treason to our republican form of government. It is insult to the nationality of the citizen, it is treason to the nation! Does not the republic owe it to itself and do not its free men owe it to the republic to protect to every citizen his right by reason of his sovereignty and his nationality? Native white men of the South, men with blue eyes and straight hair.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
