ADDRESS OF THE WASHINGTON SOCIETY TO THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH- CAROLINA.
Charleston: Printed by J. S. Burges, 44 Queen-Street, 1832. 8pp. Spine reinforced. A couple of light institutional rubberstamps. Light wear. Good+.
At the height of the Nullification Crisis, the Washington Society of South Carolina stood with Andrew Jackson for the maintenance of an imperishable Union; and against South Carolina's State Rights - Free Trade Association.
The Society calls Nullification unconstitutional and warns that the Association's stance "must end in bloodshed, disgrace, and ruin." Secession can only end in "defeat and disgrace, or in the establishment of a military despotism in South-Carolina, and the road to either alternative lies through bloodshed and civil war."
