Book Description

Excerpt from The Union Restored by Legal Authority: Its Past Errors, Its Present Restoration, and Its Bright Future The reasoning and illustrations contained in the following pages are intended to direct the intelligent American citizen in some of those trains of thought which he ought to prosecute while looking forward to the enjoyment of that Deed of Trust - that invaluable Triune Estate - Life, Liberty and Property, received and conveyed in Trust to us for our use by that long list of Patriots and Sages, who at the hazard of all that was dear to man, signed the Declara tion of Independence, as also those who framed the great charter of our liberties. Long live their memory, and cherished be their names in every American bosom; and while true merit is esteemed and appreciated or virtue honored, mankind will never cease to revere and ever to remember, with hearts full of unfeigned gratitude, those venerable Fathers for these inestimable immunities which were bought with a price, not of silver or Of gold, nor of precious stones, but with the sacrifice of many pure and precious lives, and with the sanguinary flow of life's vital fluid, which was freely spilled upon the plains of this now happy country.
