Taxation without Representation.

It is a beautiful illustration of Puritan consistency, that, whilst they went to war with England ostensibly for the principle of Taxation without Representation, they never permitted any other religious denomination than their own, which was the Establishment, to vote on the tax bills for the support of religion. Their real motive for separation from England was ecclesiastical, not political.

The Pittsburg Conclave, which framed the details of that ‘"Bill of Abominations" ’which caused nullification in 1829, had not a representative in it from the Southern States.--Here was another grand example of reverence for the great principle on which our fathers went to war with England.
