Description:Excerpt from A History of the Committee of One Hundred, and the Reform Movement in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, Vol. 1 The possession of political power, the abuses to which it leads, and the corrupt or crafty means resorted to for its preservation have in all ages furnished themes for the historian, the statesman, and the moralist. A melancholy perversion of great talents, treachery, artifice, and fraud have been the familiar and ready instruments adopted by those who have sacrificed patriotism to ambition, and trampled under foot the good of the State in pursuit of personal ends. The rage of party and of faction has frequently endangered the cause of good government The importance of party supremacy has been unduly magnified, and men have been too easily persuaded that opposition to the powers that be is deserving of condemnation and reproach. The fears of men, their cowardice, their reluctance to face the odium of rebellion, their dread of being stigmatized as traitors have been skillfully seized upon by autocrats as the means of suppressing all murmurs of discontent.
