Despotism In The USA

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!

"From the foregoing evidences, and fifty times
more, which we have in our possession, but are
compelled to omit, we cannot escape the general
conclusion that it is the purpose of those
in power and those who control the Administration,
to plunge us into despotism-to finally
destroy this old Union, and to build up a government
on its ruins, in accordance with the
early motives of a privileged aristocracy, or
limited monarchy. The Union as it was, we
need never look for again. So the despots in
power tell us, and if they can prevent it. that
fabric of free government reared by the combined
wisdom and through the mutual sacrifices
of a race of heroes and statesmen, will
never be permitted again to shed the luster of
its glory on a people that will soon lament the
entire loss of civil liberty.
Look at the evidence. Read it by the light
of calm reflection, banishing all partizan prejudices,
burying all resentment, and tell us,
who can, that our liberties are not in danger.
Read the evidence that thousands of innocent
men and women have been immured in prisons,
without charges, without a knowledge of
their accusers, without witnesses, judges, jury
or trial-kept in durance vile for long months,
and then ''honorably discharged" and forced,
under military duress, to take an oath not to
prosecute their persecutors. Can anything be
found in the Spanish Inquisition, in the French
Reign of Terror, or the Cromwellian "War of
Roses," that exceeds this, in the degree of injustice?"
