It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion.
Seite 20 - A Galloman or an Angloman will be supported by the nation he befriends. If once elected, and at a second or third election outvoted by one or two votes, he will pretend false votes, foul play, hold possession of the reins of government, be supported by the states voting for him...
