“Republicanism, as it exists beyond the Atlantic, in all the glories of bundling,
gogging, negro-driving, and dram-drinking; such poems as the Columbiad; such
speeches as Mr. Adams makes at convivial meetings; and young ladies, who, when
asked to dance, reply, “I guess I have no occasion.”
Quarterly Review.
“Often while waiting at table, and listening to their disgusting opinions, I have
been called forward by one of the guests, and struck in the face merely for some trivial
mistake I had committed in serving him with food. In South Carolina the guests do
not hesitate to chastise their entertainers' servants whenever they feel disposed; and a
party of white people there, often make cursing and beating their slaves in attendance,
their chief employment during dinner.”
Blackwood's Magazine.
“Any American will gratify a stranger by giving an account of himself; and if the
truth is unfavourable to him, he will invent falsehoods, rather than not play the egotist.”
“The Americans are more detestable than any other people under the influence of
ardent spirits. Liquor only serves to draw forth their natural coarseness, insolence,
and rankness of feelings.”
Howison's Travels.
“These scourgers and murders of slaves.”
Edinburgh Review.
