My Great Objection To This Government Is,

Whether This Will Prove A Blessing Or A Curse, Will Depend Upon The Use Our People Will Make Of The Blessings Which A Gracious God Hath Bestowed On Us. If They Are Wise, They Will Be Great And Happy. If They Are Of A Contrary Character, They Will Be Miserable. Righteousness Alone Can Exalt Them As A Nation. Reader! Whoever Thou Art, Remember This: And In Thy Sphere Practice Virtue Thyself, An Encourage It In Others.

Should I Keep Back My Opinions At Such A Time, Through Fear Of Giving Offense, I Should Consider Myself As Guilty Of Treason Towards My Country, And Of An Act Of Disloyalty Toward The Majesty Of Heaven, Which I Revere Above All Earthly Kings.

There Is A Just God Who Presides Over The Destinies Of Nations, And Who Will Raise Up Friends To Fight Our Battles For Us.

Bad Men Cannot Make Good Citizens. A Vitiated State Of Morals, A Corrupted Public Conscience Are Incompatible With Freedom.

I Know Of No Way Of Judging The Future But By The Past.
