A pointed 1850s address on how finance, immigration, and foreign influence shape American unity—and what one speaker saw as threats to the Republic.

This edition presents John Minor Botts’s critique of prevailing economic policy and his call to defend the nation’s institutions.

In a brisk, argument-driven style, the book examines money policy, trade, and the idea of a sub-treasury.
