QUOTATION:
|
Liberty—precious boon of Heaven—is meek and reasonable. She admits, that she belongs to all—to the high and the low; the rich and the poor; the black and the white—and, that she belongs to them all equally…. But true liberty acknowledges and defends the equal rights of all men, and all nations. |
