America Is A Friend Of Freedom Everywhere,

Where Annual Elections End Where Slavery Begins.

Wherever The Standard Of Freedom And Independence Has Been Or Shall Be Unfurled, There Will Be America's Heart, Her Benedictions And Her Prayers.

The Manners Of Women Are The Surest Criterion By Which To Determine Whether A Republican Government Is Practicable In A Nation Or Not.

Religious Discord Has Lost Her Sting; The Cumbrous Weapons Of Theological Warfare Are Antiquated: The Field Of Politics Supplies The Alchymists Of Our Times With Materials Of More Fatal Explosion, And The Butchers Of Mankind No Longer Travel To Another World For Instruments Of Cruelty And Destruction.

The Conflict Between The Principle Of Liberty And The Fact Of Slavery Is Coming Gradually To An Issue. Slavery Has Now The Power, And Falls Into Convulsions At The Approach Of Freedom. That The Fall Of Slavery Is Predetermined In The Counsels Of Omnipotence I Cannot Doubt; It Is A Part Of The Great Moral Improvement In The Condition Of Man, Attested By All The Records Of History. But The Conflict Will Be Terrible, And The Progress Of Improvement Perhaps Retrograde Before Its Final Progress To Consummation.
