Great Grief Makes Sacred Those Upon Whom

It Is Impossible To Enslave, Mentally Or Socially, A Bible-reading People. The Principles Of The Bible Are The Groundwork Of Human Freedom.

If, On A Full And Final Review, My Life And Practice Shall Be Found Unworthy Of My Principles, Let Due Infamy Be Heaped On My Memory; But Let None Be Led Thereby To Distrust The Principles To Which I Proved Recreant, Nor Yet The Ability Of Some To Adorn Them By A Suitable Life And Conversation. To Unerring Time Be All This Committed.

While Boasting Of Our Noble Deeds We're Careful To Conceal The Ugly Fact That By An Iniquitous Money System We Have Nationalized A System Of Oppression Which, Though More Refined, Is Not Less Cruel Than The Old System Of Chattel Slavery.

Morality And Religion Are But Words To Him Who Fishes In Gutters For The Means Of Sustaining Life, And Crouches Behind Barrels In The Street For Shelter From The Cutting Blasts Of A Winter Night.

We Should Not Care Much Whether Those Thus United (against Slavery) Were Designated 'whig,' 'free Democrat' Or Something Else; Though We Think Some Simple Name Like 'republican' Would More Fitly Designate Those Who Had United To Restore The Union To Its True Mission Of Champion And Promulgator Of Liberty Rather Than Propagandist Of Slavery.
