Nothing Is More Essential To The Establishment

I Believe That No People Ever Yet Groaned Under The Heavy Yoke Of Slavery But When They Deserved It.

The Next Step May Be Fatal To Us. Let Us Then Act Like Wise Men, Calmly Look Around Us And Consider What Is Best To Be Done...let Associations And Combinations Be Everywhere Set Up To Consult And Recover Our Just Rights.

I Would Advise Persisting In Our Struggle For Liberty, Though It Were Revealed From Heaven That Nine Hundred And Ninety-nine Men Were To Perish, And Only One Of A Thousand To Survive And Retain His Liberty. One Such Freeman Must Possess More Virtue, And Enjoy More Happiness, Than A Thousand Slaves.

The Eyes Of Mankind Will Be Upon You To See Whether The Government, Which Is Now More Popular Than It Has Been For Many Years Past, Will Be Productive Of More Virtue Moral And Political. We May Look Up To Armies For Our Defense, But Virtue Is Our Best Security. It Is Not Possible That Any State Should Long Remain Free, Where Virtue Is Not Supremely Honored.

But There Are Some Persons Who Wouldpersuade The People Never To Make Use Of Their Constitutional Rights.
