Description

Excerpt from An Examination of the Message of His Excellency the Governor to the Senate: Returning the Bill Soon after the publication of the Message of the Governor, which accompanied his veto of the Militia Bill of the last session of the Legislature, I commenced an examination of it in a series of numbers in the Greenfield Gazette and Franklin Herald. Ill health compelled me to employ the assistance of a friend in the preparation of the second number, and an unexpected addition to my engagements led to a temporary abandonment of the undertaking. When I found myself in a condition to resume the work, it seemed to me advisable to alter the mode of publication. Whatever interest the question possesses is of an extended and enduring character, and for this as well as for other reasons, a pamphlet is a more fit vehicle for such a discussion than a newspaper. Circumstances growing out of my relation to the Militia Bill, as well as the great importance of the questions and principles involved in the Message of the Governor, which accompanied it when it was returned by him to the Senate, seemed to require from me this appeal to the public; and in the following pages will be found my views and reasonings upon this subject, which are freely submitted to the public, with the hope that if they are unsound they will be shown to be so, but that if true they will prevail. I regret that the publication has been delayed until the interest in the subject has so far passed away; but circumstances beyond my control have prevented its earlier appearance.
