Excerpt from Letter to the President and People of the United States So much as to the nature of the policy, separation of the races, dictated by the higher law. This separation must not only be social, but also political, and, in time, territorial. Perfect compliance with this divine law requires that each race must have, in due time, a country of its own'. The consequences which further disobedience to the higher law will probably entail, will make the imperative nature of its policy more evident.

Excerpt from Letter to the President of the United States The immediate occasion which has emboldened me to the liberty upon which I am venturing, may be briefly explained. Not long since, in taking up one of the pa pers of the day, my eye fell upon a printed letter which had been addressed to the President of the United States by the head of a flourishing Western university. I read it with attention - an attention probably the more inter ested because the circumstances and the experiences of the writer, as he presented them, exhibited a singular series of resemblances and contrasts with my own. Your correspondent represents himself in that letter to have been, at the opening of the war, in charge of a flour ishing seminary of learning. He saw himself surrounded by several hundred noble-spirited youths whom he loved with a father's affection, and by whom he was loved in return. He saw them suddenly inspired with the martialspirit. He could hardly restrain them from rushing in a body to the field. He saw them organized into a battal ion and subjected to military drill. He saw some, impa tient of delay, enlisting in the earliest levies, and fighting on the disastrous day of Bull Run. He has since seen many scattered over all the wide arena of conflict, pour ing out their lives for their country, or captured and languishing in Southern prisons, or swept off by disease in unwholesome camps, or stretched on beds of suffering in the homes to which they have returned to die. And besides these, he sees others whom the sword has not yet reached, nor sickness paralyzed, rallying still to the call of that country in whose sacred cause so large a number of their youthful brothers have already laid down their lives.

Excerpt from A National Constitution: The Only Road to National Peace; A Letter to the President of the United States Mr. President, I have quoted the words of George Washing ton, to point my rebuke of your failure to comprehend the real needs of the country over which you preside more like anything else than like an inspiring leader. You have especially failed to take a single step towards what the past, the present, and the future unite in demanding, national consolidation. You were a directing general; you have been a drifting President. In your civil administration you have had the Opportunities of a giant, and you have used them like a dwarf. At the head of our army, you often triumphantly flanked the enemy. At the head of our nation, your political foes and your political friends have taken turns in flanking you. As the commander in the field, you were deter mined to keep on the same line, if it should take all summer you did so, and won for your country victory, and for yourself as a soldier imperishable fame. As our executive guide, so far from keeping on the same line, if it should take all summer, you have crooked and doubled like the Mississippi River, all the year round. Mr. President, your countrymen have not known where to find you. You have had no fixed principles of civil rule. Your compass has been subjected to the influence of so many magnets, that the people could not tell your course, or whether you were true to it or not. They may well doubt whether you could tell yourself. You have, indeed, at times, maintained the national honor with something like the vigor of your military career; but there has been a preceding doubt, whether or not you would, so that your right action has been the source of grateful surprise. There should have been no occasion for the doubt, none for the surprise, however grateful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Letters and Messages of Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the United States: Together With Letter of Acceptance and Inaugural Address Gentlemen: In reply to your official communication of June 17, by which I am informed of my nomination for the office of President of the United States by the Republican National Convention at Cincinnati, I accept the nomination with gratitude, hoping that, under Providence, I shall be able, if elected, to execute the duties of the high office as a trust for the benefit of all the people. I do not deem it necessary to enter upon any extended examination of the declaration of principles made by the Convention. The resolutions are in accord with my views, and I heartily concur in the principles they announce. In several of the resolutions, however, questions are considered which are of such importance that I deem it proper to briefly express my convictions in regard to them. The fifth resolution adopted by the Convention is of paramount interest. More than forty years ago a system of making appointments to office grew up, based upon the maxim "to the victors belong the spoils." The old rule, the true rule, that honesty, capacity, and fidelity constitute the only real qualification for office, and that there is no other claim, gave place to the idea that party services were to be chiefly considered. All parties in practice have adopted this system. It has been essentially modified since its first introduction. It has not, however, been improved. At first the President, either directly or through the heads of department, made all the appointments, but gradually the appointing power, in many cases, passed into the control of members of Congress. The offices in these cases have become not merely rewards for party services, but rewards for services to party leaders. This system destroys the independence of the separate departments of the Government. "It tends directly to extravagance and official incapacity." It is a temptation to dishonesty; it hinders and impairs that careful supervision and strict accountability by which alone faithful and efficient public service can be secured; it obstructs the prompt removal and sure punishment of the unworthy; in every way it degrades the civil service and the character of the Government. It is felt, I am confident, by a large majority of the members of Congress, to be an intolerable burden and an unwarrantable hindrance to the proper discharge of their legitimate duties.

A beautiful commemorative edition of Dr. Martin Luther King's essay "Letter from Birmingham Jail," part of Dr. King's archives published exclusively by HarperCollins. With an afterword by Reginald Dwayne Betts On April 16, 1923, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., responded to an open letter written and published by eight white clergyman admonishing the civil rights demonstrations happening in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. King drafted his seminal response on scraps of paper smuggled into jail. King criticizes his detractors for caring more about order than justice, defends nonviolent protests, and argues for the moral responsibility to obey just laws while disobeying unjust ones. "Letter from Birmingham Jail" proclaims a message - confronting any injustice is an acceptable and righteous reason for civil disobedience. This beautifully designed edition presents Dr. King's speech in its entirety, paying tribute to this extraordinary leader and his immeasurable contribution, and inspiring a new generation of activists dedicated to carrying on the fight for justice and equality.
Excerpt from The President's Words: A Selection of Passages From the Speeches, Addresses, and Letters of Abraham Lincoln The funeral service of the lgth of April, 1865, was the most impressive religious service ever held in this country. By one impulse, the people of the land thronged the churches, which, at the hour of the funeral of the President, were everywhere open. At that hour, more people in this land united in the public worship of God, than ever united in such service on any day. Before. In Massachusetts, the day has been historical for nearly two centuries. It is now marked by one more association, which will remain in memory till the young children of this generation have grown old and passed away.
