I don't understand the phrase "all having in direct object the establishment" - What does "all" mean? Does it mean "comprehensively"?

Answer 2

They were saying that, the repeated injuries and usurpations had one thing in common (in direct object) the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

One of those obsolete and forgotten parts of the English vernacular that would rarely be used today.
