Excerpt from The Position and Course of the South

IF history teaches any one lesson more emphatically than another, it is, that political institutions are never destroyed by influences fo1eign to tliemselves. Wherever, the1eforc in the h1st01 y of government, there have been two contending classes, the success of the one has been achieved by the inconsistency of the other. The reformation was begun by a Catholic Priest. The feudal system was destroyed by absolute monaichs. The 1evolution of 1688 was the wolk of the Whig aristoc racy, as was the reform bill of a later period - and the French revolution, so often misquoted, was the joint labour of infidel Priests and democrat nobles.
