Die Jugend verbrachte S. v.a. in Chiavenna und Soglio. Nach Privatunterricht und Bildungsreisen studierte er 1745-46 in Basel Recht. 1755 begann er mit der Publikation von hist. polit. und ökonom. Schriften die auf aristokrat.-patriot. Gedankengut basierten. Die jurist. Arbeiten waren häufig Rechtsgutachten zu Auseinandersetzungen in den Drei Bünden sowie deren Souveränitätsrechten in den Untertanenlanden. Nach 1759 förderte S. die Einführung der Baumwollspinnerei im Verlagssystem; diese Initiative scheiterte ebenso wie die Seidenraupenzucht in Marschlins. Er war Mitglied sowie 1770-71 Präs. der Helvet. Gesellschaft und stand in engem Kontakt mit Isaak Iselin und Hans Caspar Hirzel. S. engagierte sich für eine Ertragssteigerung der Landwirtschaft und war 1778 Mitgründer der Gesellschaft landwirtschaftl. Freunde. Ende der 1770er Jahre betrieb er die Entsumpfung bei Castione im Veltlin. Im Sinne von Franz Urs Balthasar - dieser hatte die Einrichtung einer "Pflanzschule" für angehende Politiker beider Konfessionen gefordert - unterstützte er ab 1763 das von Martin von Planta 1761 gegr. Seminar in Haldenstein das 1771 nach Marschlins verlegt wurde. Nach dem Tod Plantas übernahm er vorübergehend die pädagog. Leitung und wandelte die Schule 1775 in ein Philanthropinum nach Basedow'schem Muster um. 1777 musste er das Institut aus finanziellen Gründen schliessen. 1749 besetzte S. erstmals eine Amtsstelle im Gericht der Vier Dörfer wo er später auch Landammann war. 1757-59 amtierte er als Podestà in Tirano. 1761-62 führte er die Gesandtschaft zur Erneuerung des Mailänder Kapitulats. Das Abkommen begünstigte die österr. Verkehrspolitik und die im Veltlin begüterten S. führte aber zu verstärkter Opposition gegen deren Hausmachtpolitik. Die Interessen der Fam. liessen sich im Tomilserhandel 1766 durchsetzen. 1768 erreichte S. zur Irritation der etablierten franz. Parteigänger seine Ernennung zum franz. Geschäftsträger meist "Minister" genannt bei den Drei Bünden. 1771-75 hintertrieb er gegen die österr. Interessen das Strassenprojekt Chiavenna-Nauders seines Hauptgegners Peter Conradin Constantin von Planta. Wohl auf Betreiben der Bündner Oppositionspartei der reformer. Patrioten verlor er 1792 den Geschäftsträgerposten und auch die Kompanie deren Inhaber er war. 1794 wurde er vor die Standesversammlung zitiert und nach seiner Flucht vom "Unparteiischen Gericht" als Vogelfreier verbannt. Der Anschluss des Veltlins an die Cisalpin. Republik 1797 brachte ihm grosse Verluste. Von seinem Landgut Eckbühl bei Höngg aus agitierte er gegen die Patrioten und den Anschluss Bündens an die Helvet. Republik. Im Sept. 1799 floh er nach St. Gallen und weiter nach Wien. S. war der einflussreichste Bündner in der 2. Hälfte des 18. Jh. Als Aufklärer im Sinne des aristokrat. Patriotismus leistete er Reformarbeit in Publizistik Ökonomie und Erziehung. Neben dem hochfliegenden Idealismus stand seine Tätigkeit als Realpolitiker. Der virtuose Diplomat führte das 3. Mailänder Kapitulat mit Österreich herbei um kurz darauf dessen Einfluss mit der Hinwendung zu Frankreich einzudämmen. Gleichwertig daneben stand für ihn die Stärkung des Hauses S. Die in den 1760er Jahren entstehende Opposition gegen die "Familienherrschaft" konnte sich erst im Gefolge der revolutionären Ereignisse durchsetzen die S. ins österr. Lager trieben» HLS. 010 o.

Grant served as president of the United States from March 4 1869 to March 4 1877. On January 29 1877 five days before he left office Grant gave an address to the Senate of the United States regarding a controversial dispute that had arisen over the results of the upcoming presidential election. In the address Grant argued that the people must put their trust in Congress stating: "In all periods of history controversies have arisen as to the succession or choice of the chiefs of states and no party or citizens loving their country and its free institutions can sacrifice too much of mere feeling in preserving through the upright course of law their country from the smallest danger to its peace on such an occasion; and it can not be impressed too firmly in the hearts of all the people that true liberty and real progress can exist only through a cheerful adherence to constitutional law. unknown books
